You have all the freedom in the world to do what you want but you have to think what you need. Maybe you want a Ferrari but why would you buy one if you can't go at full speed cause there's speed limits? That takes away all the fun of owning that kind of car and makes no sense to own it. You must think twice all this thinks before you make a decision so it's the best decision you can make

Literally that's the definition of capitalism and the capitalist country by excellence is USA. Also communism doesn't exist in today's society. But okey, go on telling people they're communist only cause they think different than you

I just point a different point of view. If it was for me and my decision and opinions I would said to them to use public transport but I get it that some people live in places where there's no public transport and they have no other choice that owning a car.
Besides that, I don't think is too crazy to let people think if they need a big or a small car. I just pointed out that a lot of countries most of the people live with small cars cause these big cars are made for people who go to the mountains and difficult places where a small car is impossible to get it. But most of the people just use their car in their day to day live: going to work, to make the groceries, etc. So to move better though these places and park easily on them you would prefer a small car. Even in these places, some parkings have small places for small cars and there's a very few places for big cars. Also this cars are more expensive and need more gasoline so you will spend more in them. So I don't see any point in favour to buy one of these.
I said that about Americans cause I heard they're the only ones that a lot of people own trucks (compared to other countries). So I found it funny how millions of people live with small cars perfectly and they feel the need to own a bigger car that they need. And maybe make people reflect about this situation cause sometimes you just need a different point of view to realise that. Your society is so focus on that opinion that you need to see outside of your country opinions to contrast it and then realise which opinion do you think is better. For example, other unpopular opinion in usa but big outside is having gun control policy.

Dude I just pointed a new point of view to make you realise that you won't probably need a truck. That millions of people of different countries live driving small cars or even using public transport. So why do you need to be different of that many amount of people? Just cause you're American and you feel superior to the rest of the world?

Do you have any reason? I saw the pictures of Americans driving trucks just to go to the supermarket. You can't deny that's funny as hell and you could totally go with a normal size car.

Exactly. The truck I think is a very American thing, here in Europe the most common cars are the small ones and there's very few people with trucks. So that's why I asked, normally you wouldn't need a truck to do your everyday life.

Do you really need a truck? This big cars are so annoying to park and drive though the city with them. If you don't go though the mountain or stuff like that you could totally go with a smaller car. It would be cheaper to buy and you will need less gasoline/gasoil/etc

Reply to comment by BornAgainSpecial in Decision on durable winter parka (TNF vs Patagonia) by hastati96
I don't know anything about promoting wars and lockdowns but it's one of the few famous brands that care about making quality products without destroying our planet or exploting their workers. They're a B Corporation and 1% for the planet.
Here you have a summary of their conditions to the planet, workers and animals: Patagonia

Both brands are famous so you can search their products in second hand stores. If you care about the planet, good conditions to their workers, etc go with Patagonia

Reply to Coats recommedations by OmicrronMeddical
I mostly use 2 coats, in the summer and spring I use a denim jacket (I live in a warm country so it's mostly for the night or if it's windy that day). In autumn and winter I use anorak (most of the days is not that cold but I'm a cold person). So it really depends on your climate but I mostly would recommend this types of coats for this climates.
For anoraks, I didn't try it but the people that did recommend Patagonia. Is one of today's brands more longer lasting, and one of these few brands that really care about the workers and the planet. You could also find some items in 2nd hand stores.

I think the most accurate way for all of this is the traditional method. But if you want a smartwatch you could watch some of his videos Quantified Scientist where he tries all this watches making scientific test to know if they are really accurate or not.

Reply to Cell Phone..............? by clarbr03
Maybe you can try with Fairphone. I don't know much besides what it says in the official web and the few reviews it has but the good thing is that it's 100% repairable and you can do it yourself by purchasing that part you need in their official store. I heard the camera's aren't great but you can see some examples of photos and videos people made with it.

Reply to suggestions on high quality durable usb3.0 drives? by TurokDinoHunterN64
If you want to store important stuff that you don't want to lose I would recommend a hard drive. When usb stop working is easier to lose that information and never get it back, meanwhile with a hard drive there's more possibilities that you can recover all. Also hard drives have more memory and you could get one of 1tb, that could store everything for many years, for a reasonable price.
