No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

Bumper stickers aren't as big in Aus as the are in the US, don't often see them. I haven't seen a single pro-Ukraine sticker or Israel Sticker.

But today on my daily commute I saw a ute drive past me with a Free Palestine sticker.

I know it's not much, but it made me smile a little.

There's some guy in my area who has covered the entire hood of his car in a Palestine flag decal. It cheers me up every time I see it.

TIL Americans don't call them utes. It means like a rural pick up truck kinda thing.

Neither do Brits, but I know what you meant.

We also don't say 'i love you.' instead we say 'would you like to get on my health insurance plan?'

Utility vehicle, like for tradies.

its cool as shit is what it is. they have these more-reasonable-sized el Camino types of deals over there too. they are so cool.

edit... look at this little enchantress:

the US truck market is literally the worst truck market on earth, unless you're a rich rube / douch. then it's a Greatest Hits album produced by and for Lee Greenwood.
