I'm currently reading the 1911 novelization of Peter Pan, and was completely unprepared for this passage in a children's book

My point was more that a pickup’s core demographic live in places where range is absolutely a consideration. Some city folks do have good reason to own a pickup, but for most it’s an aesthetic/image thing. Which, given the environmental/traffic safety consequences of driving a larger vehicle than necessary, is plenty deserving of judgement imo.

Rural people, as in the folks who actually have a use for pickups. As it so happens, it is about 200 miles round-trip to my nearest airport/major city, so if this were my vehicle, I’d have to take a charge break when picking someone up/dropping them off at the airport, or making a shopping run, or going to a concert/special event, or seeing a medical specialist. And I’m not even that far off the beaten path; I have family for whom the one-way drive to their nearest major city/airport is over 200mi. Plus if you’re hauling anything, I’d imagine that range goes down quick.

Definitely a case of “committing to the bit” that resulted in an above-average comedy anime. A lot of these “so dumb it’s intriguing” premise series struggle to carry interest for more than an episode, so I was pleased that the series remained consistent all ten episodes. Probably good that they ended there, though.

RIP science documentaries I guess…

Why is the meme colorblind?
