I’ve never really been a truck guy, I also hate driving large vehicles in general and both preferences predate both my knowledge and even belief in climate change(I was raised as an evangelical in the south).
If there was something like a Ranger or an S10 from the mid-late 90s with an electric motor I’d be all over it, fuck put out an electric El Camino and I’d rip my sleeves off on the way to the dealership
I know there is a lot of opinions about the Marvel and Star Wars shows on Disney+ but other than Andor(superb), Wandavision(really good but not rewatchable), and at least the first season of Loki(haven’t had the time to watch the second yet) this is kinda how I feel about all of them they were just ok. There were some really cool moments in them and some interesting threads to follow in the future, John Walker murdering that guy with Caps shield plus Julia Lousie-Dreyfus’s introduction, the Vader scenes in both Kenobi and Ahsoka plus Thrawn and a potentially a new Galaxy, everything about Oscar Isaac in Moon Knight. But besides the three I originally mentioned above have some really lame moments too and extremely lackluster ending(looking at you FatWS).
But I don’t think you want just ok with these things both as a viewer and a creator, you want awe, and while shows certainly can do that, you can’t just churn them out like they have been and expect that sort of quality every time.
Marvel clearly had a winning formula at some point and even if it was formulaic I still loved it, still hard to tell if that lightening they captured will ever come back but they need to pull back again and do a slow build because they are currently making many of the same mistakes as everyone else trying to replicate their cinematic universe has made and are over saturating the interest even from someone like me who did enjoy most of their recent films other than Thor 4 and Black Panther 2 both of which sucked hot asshole for very different reasons.
Star Wars is trickier, i have no clue how Andor got made but if Disney has the sense to redirect and they start telling smaller stories in the Star Wars universe that have Jack shit to do with the Skywalkers I think they could make some shows that really get everyone’s attention back.
I hope they can right the ship because I loved the ride we were getting as a kid who grew up watching Xmen on Saturday mornings and pretending to be Luke Skywalker in his backyard.
Edit: just realized this was a Star Wars community, sorry for all the marvel talk I just think they suffer from many of the same symptoms

Then y’all need to get Ohio to stop giving northern Kentucky Skyline chili if you don’t want them to be somewhat midwestern and southern at the same time. But you damn right about Idaho, culturally they’re closer to Floridian that anything else
This is a Nazi joke, the Nazi Party(while not actually being socialist in any way) was short for the National Socialist German Workers Party. And again as we all know the Nazis not only weren’t socialist but actually murdered people that were, they just co-opted the name, they were fascist authoritarians. Other countries that weren’t/arent actually socialist or communist but rather authoritarian state capitalist are the USSR and the PRC. Lemmygrad’s grade of “socialism” is from what I’ve seen, straight up authoritarian like those two “communist” countries, thus the OP is saying they are in support of the national socialism otherwise known as nazism
