A fool and his money are soon parted.

Well what else are you supposed to do with it

Surly you dont mean to imply that we should be collecting and hoarding it and ranking our status by how much we have accumulated?

Surly you aren't implying that there is literally nothing better to spend that money on, that all saving is hoarding, and that if someone of finite means saves $70K they should spend it on a luxury car with the intent of asserting ownership over public thoroughfares?

Obviously not, don't be daft

I'm sorry, do you not actually like when other people concoct the worst possible interpretation of what you said and then imply publicly through flawed logic that it's what you really meant? That's only something you enjoy doing to others? My bad.

Your fault for not reading satire. Don't know what to tell you. I even said "Surly" - wordplay on the bike brand as this is FuckCars, but you decided to take the worst possible interpretation of my comment. 🤷‍♂️

Not only that, but i was making a comment on the rich hoarding wealth and for some reason you are offended enough to mock me.

Your jokes are indistinguishable from wrecker behavior, get better jokes.

It was just satire, is all, and i apologize for coming on a bit strong—i was annoyed and have very little patience lately.
Have a nice day.

I appreciate the apology. It'd be good for me to try and exhibit a bit more patience too. Thanks.

But how can I show my face around my "friends" if my number isn't higher than theirs? I'd be the laughing stock of the country club!

This could be any advertisement for drivers in south Florida. Where turn signals are pretty decorative lights you use for fun, where traffic lights and solid lines on the road are simply suggestions.

Great! As if we needed even more assholes thinking they can behave like they own the roads…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Well, at least in my state, we ALL own the road, since we all* pay taxes. YOU get 1/5000000th of the road, YOU get 1/5000000th of the road !

So yes, you partially own the road, but SO DO I MOTHERFUCKER. Me being on a bicycle changes nothing.
