      Can’t say I agree. For example, if someone hits you with their car? It’s ok to scratch it.

      Edit: The downvotes on this are fucking unreal, imagine being upset that the person you just mowed over scratched your car. Fuck right off with that bullshit.

        Are you 12?

        Or do you just see every unfortunate occurrence as personal victimization?

      It is strange and striking that climate change activists have not committed any acts of terrorism. After all, terrorism is for the individual by far the modern world’s most effective form of political action, and climate change is an issue about which people feel just as strongly as about, say, animal rights. This is especially noticeable when you bear in mind the ease of things like blowing up petrol stations, or vandalising SUVs. In cities, SUVs are loathed by everyone except the people who drive them; and in a city the size of London, a few dozen people could in a short space of time make the ownership of these cars effectively impossible, just by running keys down the side of them, at a cost to the owner of several thousand pounds a time. Say fifty people vandalising four cars each every night for a month: six thousand trashed SUVs in a month and the Chelsea tractors would soon be disappearing from our streets. So why don’t these things happen?

        I think it says more about the personalities on each side. ICE loving climate deniers are aggressive by nature.

    I mean is it really a truck?

    There needs to be a way to validate if something is a truck.

    Like, if you can’t put a 2x4 in it, is it a truck? Is an el camino a truck?

    IF a cybertruck is a truck, is a Pontiac Aztek a truck?

        iirc, that is bc your Forester is an SUV that uses a truck chassis underneath, whereas the otherwise extremely similar Crosstrek uses the Impreza chassis so is more of a high “car”. But that could change over the years and I’m not really a car person so don’t quote me or anything!:-P

          His Forrester is built on a Legacy chassis; it’s a four door sedan with a little lift and a bigger body shell on top.

            Thanks for the correction. I see now, it’s a larger car chassis - so as @empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com said, that’s not a “truck”, light or otherwise, at all!?

            I did a search and found this article suggesting that it is a historical (hehe, some might say… “legacy”, eh?:-P) naming scheme, based on fuel economy:

            The U.S. government uses light-duty trucking as a vehicle class for the regulation of fuel economy by enforcing the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. The light-duty truck class includes pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, and minivans.

            Since light-duty trucks are typically used for utility purposes rather than personal use, they have lower standards for fuel economy than cars do.
