You mean me doing karate 3 times a week which has given me a cracked rib, a herniated disc and countless of bruises and minor injuries might leave me with chronic pain? I don't believe you!

Over here the "biggest" suvs I regurally see are the size of VW Tiguan. I believe Volvos XC40 and XC60 are pretty popular amongst the richer crowd.

But the most common is probably Kia Sportage. The text book example of a SUV which is engineered to look big, but it's actually not at all and is overall a very cheap car.

Volvo V70 used to be the most popular car over here, now we've all fallen for the SUV scam :(

Modern SUVs are actually tiny, but look big, as far as I've seen here in Sweden. I've more then once parked next to a SUV I thought was big, then as I get out of my Volvo V70 I realise it's very often just a Kia Picanto-esque car which had been raised, given a muffin top and ridiculously big wheels.

It's also a question of how where this meme was made. I'm married in my mid-late 20's and my wife is mid 20's, we've got a child and will hopefully hear that the sellers of a house accepted our bid.

I didn't grow up rich, she grow up in a middle class household with parents who saved an decent (as in literally decent, not decent as in a small business loan of a million dollars) sum which we will use against the down payment. We're not rich or making astronomical sums either.

Is lemmy US-centric/big cities-centric?

But it's still blocking the view for us in normal sizes cars.

I don't know how many times I've had to hope for the best and carefully inch forwards/backwards when being next to a minivan/SUV/pickup. I've been close to being in an accident a number of times because of, well mostly, SUVs.

It's honestly not as good as I Staple Tapeworms To My Penis.

I have a colleague who is really into Rick and Morty and has colorful hair. He's one of those who has a pink/purple theme with little to no contrast. I keep my distance.

Yes. It's an organized crime. Pretty much anything violent that happens here is because of gangs.

Today I sat down at the computer around 8:30, had lunch around 10:55 - 12:00, then at 13:00 - 14:30 I went for a walk with my wife and 6 month old son to feed ducks which he absolutely loved, and I stopped working at 16:10. Adding all that together should equal to... I don't care. The company who bought us and ruined everything had a 1.5 hrs townhall yesterday with 880 attendees, equating to some €30k lost in man power.

In Sweden, maybe the rest of the EU, the entrance floor (entrevåning) has a green ring around it.

MS does this. They do it everywhere.
