not really it’s just a bunch of excuses about why things are too hard. it’s a lot easier to say you have some condition making improvements impossible than to actually put work into improving things

he’s not wrong, why should i choose a less safe vehicle for my family to ride in? large heavy vehicles are safer for the occupants in a multi vehicle collision, and in order to protect yourself from large vehicles(including bigger trucks/semis) you should be in a large vehicle too. it’s suicidal to choose a smaller car because trucks make you mad
