    Well if you are driving a gas-guzzler you are definitionally not doing both, so there’s no real need to ask.

    I acknowledge that there are legitimate reasons to drive a pickup, it’s just that those reasons are far more rare than the number of pickups clogging the roads of my city or nearly running me over. So something has to give here.

    PS: I also shame people who drive too much so that’s not accurate.

      Rare according to your experience? Sorry, that’s not how real life works. Your fear of trucks doesn’t mean the rest of us have to cater to those fears.

      Shaming people is a dick move. You’re not perfect so why judge others? Glass houses etc.

        Public shaming is good when you’re doing things that hurt people. I also do those things sometimes and I would not mind being shamed a bit for them. It makes it easier to do the right thing.
