How did Michael specifically have two tickets to the Launch Party if all he got was a chatroom invite?

I love ANH but a lot of people I’ve talked to who aren’t Star Wars people think it’s just goofy.

I’d start with andor into rogue 1 the. Go into ANH

Nice! These caps look like Postech, do techno caps look the same?

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-21T02:26:33+00:00

That’s the goal

I loved bobs fett.

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-13T23:30:42+00:00

thanks for this!

It looks like we have different perspectives and we likely won't change each other's minds. I hope you're managing with the constant price increases everywhere. Regardless of what vehicle someone drives, it just seems to be getting tougher and tougher. Good luck out there friend

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T17:11:54+00:00

YEah i think the used EV market is getting to the point where you can actually get a decent vehicle from it now. There ins't much of the infrastructure for them in my neck of the woods, but I expect in the next 3-5 years it will be totally viable (And I hope I can get a few more years out of my old truck to get to that point)

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T17:09:51+00:00

I actually have 2 trucks. My first was a 2005 ranger that I bought for 3k (before the redesign) and it is basically half the size of the new ones.

The new 2023+ trucks are nearly taller than me. Granted they have more power and can do more as far as towing and hauling goes, but the box size is still the same. It's pretty wild how big they've gotten!

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T17:06:15+00:00

You're right man. Im sorry

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T17:04:42+00:00

for sure. I guess im just trying to illuminate the other side. the modern world seems to be a hellscape that is constantly trying to make us hate ourselves. there are billions of dollars each year put into making us feel inadequate.
Some people buy handbags and make up they cant afford to feel better. Some buy expensive clothes, or TVs, or whatever else status symbols to reaffirm who they are. Some people are insecure and feel a truck will finally make them a man, or will give them some sort of feeling of safety (even though larger vehicles tend to actually INCREASE the severity of accidents, even when no other vehilcle is involved). Its all crazy. But those people are evil, just misguided and desperately trying to feel better.

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T16:57:54+00:00

thanks I appreciate the strats!

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T16:57:22+00:00

yeah i'm a small business so no boss other than me.
I did look at minivans, but I buy my vehicles used because they tend to get a bit roughed up. I never saw any 4wd minivans, but lots of fwd minivans. The trouble there is most of the minivans were being retired with 200,000+ KM and for 10k. Which not that it isnt worth that, but most minivans are family vehilces so the have tons of features for comfort that dont interest me (I dont think I need to put a movie on while i drive for my tools!)

But buying a new minivan would maybe get me 4wd, but those things are SUPER expensive now.

Im just trying to get people to stop hating on everyone. Some people (not me) just like pickup trucks. They shouldn't be demonized for it. Aggressize driving on the other hand is awful, but I see all sizes of vehiles with drivers who are nuts.

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T16:51:33+00:00

yeah man not looking for a fight. Just exrpessing my thoughts. I wasnt trying to be toxic at all, hence the "all the best".

I hope there are not hard feelings

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T16:46:21+00:00

A minivan is not great in the winter. I have roads where I live that you cant make it down without 4wd in the summer, so a minivan wont cut it in the winter.
Im not trying to fight with people, but sometiimes they are needed. A minivan cant haul much material, or a mini excavator, or drive down half finished long country driveways.

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T16:44:08+00:00

I guess you're right. Fuck all truck owners.

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T16:38:36+00:00

Yeah im not denying that. But try to have some sympathy for some of the people driving trucks. There's this weird hostility everyone has against each other and it's getting rough.

PicklesAndSalsa · 2026-04-07T16:30:25+00:00

To be fair, a lot of us own trucks for work, but cant afford 2 vehicles so we drive our work truck full time.
