    Read the actual article. This was a commercial vehicle that was hauling gravel. I think most folks are assuming it was some dumbass in a lifted truck with a few MAGA stickers on the back. That’s not the case.

    The driver is still at fault for ignoring the posted weight limits, but it’s not like he was driving a personal vehicle, as much as we’d all love to see a some of these massive trucks and SUVs go through a bridge.

      Can we just have a bridge that detects MAGA trucks and ditches them then?

      To be fair, the stock Ford 750 looks like the douchiest pickup vehicle imaginable. It’s like if you had asked an AI to design a truck specifically for dudes with fragile masculinity and court-mandated anger management classes. All it needs is twin flagpoles mounted to the back, with the American and confederate flags flying side by side.

            Sure. Anywhere near as douchey as discrediting this community by spreading that garbage non-sense about what an F-750 actually is.

              Ahh I see you don’t understand, I’ll explain. See an actual considerate human would just say “that’s actually not the base model” or whatever you were complaining about, instead you chose to be rude and top it off with a cringe ass “be better”, the go to response for someone who thinks they’ve got the moral high ground but don’t wanna put any sort of discussion into it.

              You’re like the 2024 version of man-bun yoga hipsters, be better

                Yeah, no. You see, your suggestion is actually what I replied to every other person who commented that claptrap on this post. Its like, right there in my comment history. That specific commenter went so far as to outright claim those pics were THE stock configuration though, and theirs was the last such comment I replied to. They, and you, can actually, on second thought, fuck right off.

                I opted to be even slightly civil with them. Maybe because I like their username or I just had an off moment.

                You? You made the mistake of assuming I was being, idk, sincere or some shit. No, I don’t even actually hope or care that someone named “pm-your-nudes” even bothers to break character to make more truthful comments, so long as they’re kinda-sorta called on it when they don’t.

                Stop being such an insincere-dumbfuck-persona-apologist. Getting people to realize “wow, I was almost fooled by this insincere shit-post-teir bullshit that failed to trip-up this man-bun-yoga-hipster dude” is exactly the shocked reader response I was going for. Welcome to peak internet. 2024 is the new 1994.
