I hate this so much. My job recently retired two 2012 chevy colorado’s. They had four doors, small frame, but plenty of bed space. The best we could do for a replacement is a ford maverick. the maverick has more room in the cab and lots of useful new features but the bed is absolutely pitiful. Just to fit all the things we need for work we have to use this little gate that folds out and adds the tailgate to the bed space. It works sure but it feels pretty unsafe, the backup camera becomes useless and there’s just a could fence posts and a coupe bars between anything slipping out of the bed on the highway.

bravo! what a performance!

It’s good to strive to rise above societal programming but don’t be so hard on yourself for succumbing to it! Most people really need outside validation and I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with that, it’s very human. We’re social creatures it’s incredibly important to our development as individuals and as a species.

The other thing I’ll say is that often times unhealthy lifestyles can really affect you mentally. I know good food and exercise help my mental state a lot (even though I kinda disdain the concept).
