The person on the left is carrying bags, the one in orange is a delivery driver and a couple of people are wearing backpacks. Aside from car brained, Damaris is also blind.

    Don’t remember where I heard it first, but I always love to hear it.

      The solution? Rental vans…

      It’s like people think they need mega trucks for the time once a year or less that they have to move a couch.

      “Rent a fucking truck!”

        In this vein, I saw a comment on Lemmy that speaks to this. I’m paraphrasing but it really woke me up. The person said that Americans choose on edge cases and not standard use case. I realized I felt that way about ICE cars vs EV and I am a cyclist. It is amazing how we can have blinders on.

        It’s weird because all, and i mean ALL, furniture and electronic shop in my country will do delivery for you, most even do it for FREE.

        Then there’s 3rd party delivery service via an app.
