So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

There is a valid use case for both. Most of the folks you see in the one on the left aren't using it for a valid use case, but there are some that do. I'm not one of em, I drive a sedan, just sayin I get it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SymphonicResonance@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago 8k new ? permalink fedilink source parent
