        That’s because they are pathetic enough to see them as possessions and they go along with it because they just don’t want to do shit.

    Ohh, school pick up lines as in, a line of cars picking up students. Not pick-up lines, like “Hey baby, can you show me where music class is, cause I feel like playing in A minor.”

      Sometimes, the parents forget to pick up the kids so the teachers get to decide if they leave a child all alone with no help or if the teacher works unpaid over time

        No. Bullshit. When I got cut loose from 70s-80s elementary I was on my fucking own. We could walk, ride, skate, whatever. We did not require a fucking adult to care for us. Bell rings? GTFO! BYE!

      If only there were free public transport provided to every student outside a small radius of the school. That would make things so much simpler!

      Seriously, I can’t wrap my head around this. Back in my day, pickup lines simply didn’t exist. You walked or you took the bus.

        Back in my day, the early to mid 90s, there were still pickups. There was a shorter line, it was easier, because there were fewer people.

        Where I live now, and where I lived then, there was cutoffs for the bus, like a mile or more. My town now, barely anyone is a mile from anything. There’s one bus for the school, and they use it for underprivileged and disabled students. Everyone else is on their own, and so if you live a mile from school, having your four or five year old walk sometimes isn’t feasible.

        We live about a mile from school. I drive halfway and park and we walk the other half, because I cannot stand the pickup line. But some people go, drop their kid, and head to work, and so it’s completely understandable that they use the pickup line.

      It’s always money.

      When I first moved to the town I live in now, I was impressed by the all new schools. However I eventually realized they replaced a bunch of older neighborhood schools with a smaller number of bigger schools. They saved money by providing a worse educational experience and making walking less likely.

      We walked to my kids elementary school but the town saved money by not plowing the sidewalks in winter, nor forcing residents to. Our walk would require walking on a major street - until my ex went full Karen and made them plow

      When my kids got to middle school, we were in “walking” distance so there was no bus. However that was a full mile including crossing a six lane road whose light was always broken, and they didn’t spring for a crossing guard . We ended up choosing a private school in a different town, so there were no buses nor walkability

      Regional school districts are now common. More kids goto schools that are not even in their towns

    Lucky I’ve not encountered him, the urge to talk to him like a 5 year old would be too great.

    “What a big truck you have! And it’s so high up! I bet you have to do a big jump to get up there. And look, it says “WAR” on the front, that’s fun! Did you put that on yourself, or did you ask a man do it for you?”

    I’ve inadvertently ridden my bicycle through a couple school zones during drop-off times - and I’m sure pick-up times would be even worse.

    Cycling around cars has an element of risk that we all know and accept. But that risk goes WAY UP in school zones at drop-off time. You’d think drivers would be looking for kids, people, etc. as they drop their precious off IN A SCHOOL ZONE. But, no.

    For example: One started to pull out in front of me - I was in the lane, riding past, and she was pulling out of the school’s driveway. I avoided her with some vigorous braking, then she had the gall to pull up at a light and tell me I should be careful.

      It’s a bunch of stressed, impatient parents who just want to grab their kid and get out, but are apathetic to everyone else trying to do the same. If all these other people weren’t here they could do this so fast, why won’t everyone get out of their way? It’s a highly concentrated dose of the “Im gonna get mine and the rest of you can fuck right off” mentality. And, like most shitty driving behaviors, it feeds into itself. It makes good drivers make bad decisions because, if they don’t, they’re not going anywhere. “No one is letting me in, so if I dont cut someone off, I’m going to be stuck here another 15 minutes” type shit. I dont know why well-built pickup and drop-off areas aren’t required for building schools past 1990, but here we are.

      When I leave my home street, (on my bicycle,) I have to make a left hand turn. This means that I don’t proceed through the intersection until it’s safe, and I turn from the middle of the lane. My bike also has blinking turn signals, because people are dumb and don’t understand hand signals for turns. I had one of my neighbors behind me honking and screaming at me because I wasn’t turning fast enough for her liking. I screamed at her that I wasn’t turning until it was safe, and she could eat my ass. Then I got off my bike in the middle of the road and proceeded to dance the running man for 30 seconds before getting back on to attempt my left hand turn again. Fuck cars and the people that drive them.

    How does one like that get a kid? Like, what woman is into a guy like that, and how does it biologically work with insemination when you have a tiny micro penis like that? I bet the kid is from the milkman or something.

        There’s nothing wrong with having a small penis. There are great ways to compensate, by learning other skills in the bedroom to pleasure your partners. Buying a massive truck isn’t the right way to pleasure a partner, it’s only to show how sad and insecure you are like your other testosterone junky micropenis Chad friends with their mega trucks.

        So when you say you have a small car, I’d say you’re doing just fine.

      lots of women are into big trucks and expensive cars.

      have you ever dated? IME majority of women want a guy with an expensive car. finding a woman who doesn’t care about that stuff is difficult.

      I drive a hybrid and I’ve had many dates be disgusted with that. They want a man who drives a ‘manly’ car.

        Expensive (in terms of my country, anyway) car got me the worst woman I’ve ever dated (and later married. The things you do for love. For both the gold digger and more importantly, the child the gold digger coaxes you into having). Go back a few comments in my profile if you want details because I shared them with other people who said they’ve suffered under narcissists too, but it cost me well over 100k in under 2 years. Minimum wage in my country is under 900 euros a month to give you some perspective. She did not work a day in the same time frame, but I worked 200+ hours most months.

        Stay true to yourself and keep driving that hybrid. Don’t give in to it. The woman that’s out there for you won’t care about it. But if you drive a nice car or truck, you’ll attract gold diggers that distract you from the actually good things in life. And if my advice sounds misogynous, it’s really not. It’s not exclusively women who are gold diggers of course. I recently read a thread on my country’s subreddit where a woman was in just about the same situation I used to be in, looking for advice. Her husband was an absolute freeloader and wouldn’t even help around the house because she wouldn’t sign over half the house to him. House that she’d bought before their relationship.

          i’ve never met a woman who didn’t shit on me for my lifestyle choices. especially if that are positive.

          all my girlfriends i dated just wanted the standard american lifestyle. And every woman i meet who wants to date me wants that too.

          I dont’ know where anyone is finding women that admire people who drive hybrid cars or compost. i certainly do not ever meet them.

            I’ve met a few. One in particular cared more about the environment than anything I could offer her.

            Unfortunately we were both busy and barely saw each other. I then went and met someone who only liked me for the car I drove. First girl was last year MD student, the other one was pretty much a bum who gets pregnant when she finds a man who can provide for her, to lock it down.

            I didn’t have the nice car for the first one. She actually liked talking to me without me having to pretend I was someone I wasn’t.

            So I’m still sure that even for you there’s someone out there. But the sad fact is that we many never meet these people or other circumstances can fuck things up for us.

        You’re not dating the right women man. The ones I date don’t care about that stuff. They care about having shared interests, talking about emotional stuff, building a connection. My previous 3 partners I broke the relationship because they didn’t respect my boundaries, they all want me back. They loved the sex, my previous partner, one who had many before me, told me I could give her the best orgasm ever, by far. The ones before also said I performed beter then they ever had. All because I learned techniques, even though I’m above the Dutch national average size wise. Size does help a lot, but it’s about what you do with it. While my best technique is oral. I try to learn her body, her triggers, and play with that. Edging is really great, plus knowing to find the g spot, and of course the clitoris. But the whole body is covered with sensitive spots, knowing which one to stimulate when is key. Watch some tutorials from Nina Hartley, I learned a lot from it. Also there was a program on state television when I was younger called “neuken doe je zo” (this is how you fuck). I can’t remember the other tutorials but there are more. Just don’t use porn as a reference.

        All my previous partners don’t care about cars, expensive presents, etc. They care about my brain and how I treat them: with care and respect. I can be vulnerable and don’t mind taking about hard things so they all still come to me when they are feeling down because even though we broke up I’m still there for them during hard times. And they are there for me too.

        If anyone only cares about money and fame, they are just using you and not the right partner.

          I can only date women who want to date me.

          I can’t date women who don’t find me attractive. I’m glad for you you got to date women who don’t care about that stuff. I don’t have that opportunity in life. I date women who ask me what car I drive and how much income I make within minutes of meeting me.

            Where do you meet them? Tinder is not the best place to meet the right women. I’ve had more luck with other apps like ok cupid. Also when I go to parties I meet nice women but only at the right parties with the right crowd. Standard clubs are not the right place imo. I prefer to go to subculture events / and underground parties.

            Edit: I’m not saying it’s easy, I find it super hard too.
