Cyber vandalism still continues - Big Fish caught this time

[hemiarch]

I ran a Subaru dealership for 17 years. I’ve owned several. Stereotypes are a valid first order approximation…

They aren’t valid for me. They are everyone’s instinct including mine but ultimately they are prejudice and not ok. It actually takes active effort to avoid them.
I frequently treat people who look like bad guys and bad guys who look like good guys in my line of work and providing them the same consistent high quality care is what’s expected of me.
My first night at the county hospital I currently work at, I had a horrible situation that required help from the medical ICU doctor to intubate a patient while I was trying to deal with life threatening bleeding on a regular non-icu floor. Which is actually really hard. Basically, I had my hands too full to do it all. The guy who showed up to respond to my page must have had a dozen or more piercings and tattoos on his face.
You think my first reaction wasn’t, “what the fuck is this?”, of course it was. It was dead wrong though. He was incredibly helpful and cool as cucumber and we were able to save a life together because of it.
What I’m trying to say is that we all have these moments of weakness. It’s completely normal but if we’re able to get over that instinctive hump just like we get over other innate desires we don’t act on, it’s an accomplishment worth achieving.
Hate takes no energy. It sucks energy from everything and everyone in the room except you. Love or even just acceptance is actually really hard. It takes work.
My entirely apolitical point and you can choose to believe that or call what I’m saying bullshit because you want to disagree with me and think you know without knowing me what my posts say about my politics, is that this country cannot and will not get better without EVERYONE actually putting in the work to make it better. That includes me, it includes the Subaru driving blue hair wearing kid down the street and it also includes you.
You guys can take your first order approximations about Subaru drivers, women, people of color, immigrants, newscasters/reporters that don’t suit you, old people, young people, unhoused people, people who voted differently than you or whoever else and gradually further alienate yourselves from your communities with them, but it only serves to increase the prejudice experience of driving a Cybertruck. It makes things worse, not better.
Thanks for helping make it so my children have been flipped off in a Bluey themed Cybertruck with three car seats in the back.
Don’t want to be stereotyped, quit stereotyping. The world is what you make of it.

Will be let out after 3 hours by liberal "judge" - Check

Highly informative. Being educated, living in a mountain state and/or carrying a mental health diagnosis is also taboo now and likely to incur this blind contempt? Didn’t get that memo.
Duly noted.

It isn't stereotyping once there is an action. I think this forum rightfully mocks and makes fun of anyone that commits a negative act. Do something dumb, you deserve the ire of the public, or a sub-segment of it.

The issue is the mocking needs to be more individualized. Let's be better at personal insults, versus demeaning a group of people who have nothing to do with the negative act. We as a forum can do better as roasters, let's work on our burns.

I support this “sick burn” initiative.

Let's stop with the stereotypes and all this "Subaru drivers bad" or "Cybertruck drivers bad". We can get along.

Besides, we all know that BMW drivers are the worst

They would be OK if somebody would just take the time to teach them how to use a fucking turn signal!!!!

I want to crusade mini-SUV drivers in general as they seem to be playing NASCAR on the same freeway I’m driving on. Who will join me?!

…no one….

It’s the Prius people you really gotta watch out for! They’re so pious, but yet I’ve never seen one of them doing less than 90 fucking miles an hour!

Contempt for society is letting whack job criminals to roam our public spaces freely.

No civilization has endured letting criminals do whatever they want.

Hysterical histrionics. Also, Australia would like a word.

The one time I've been brake-checked in the CT was by a Prius. FSD handled it, but damn bro, you got a death wish

A stereotype is a collection of observations. It doesn't mean all people in that group fit the stereotype, it's an observation of correlation. The problem happens when the stereotype is applied to an individual without any evidence that individual fits the stereotype. In this case, we can clearly see the Subaru driver fits the stereotype. Not perfectly though, as he is a male and thus can't be a lesbian.

For the same reason you don’t like it when people snicker at Cybertruck and Elon jokes.
it’s not a question of what you’re “allowed” to say. Clearly no lines are being crossed there.
It’s a question of what you should and shouldn't say because of how it makes other people react to you.

Words don't "make" other people react, that's up to them. Different people will react differently (or not at all) to the same statement. You are not the arbiter of what someone "should" or "shouldn't" say. That's a very woke position.
