That is not a makeshift vehicle. They sold Toyota pick-up based RV's here for a number of years. Extended, reinforced frame and dual rear wheels. AUG is driving those in traffic, they are slow as poo poo.

I'd see if he'd sell it. Very popular with a certain type of RV-er, for all it's lack of power they are easily managable in the city.

Obviously loving not.

Now that you mention it, I would be interested to see a Venn diagram of "population who think a sex reveal party is something worth doing ever as long as they live" and "population who feels threatened by the concept of non-binary persons." I hypothesise it will be a brand new shape, a more perfect circle even than what we understand to be a mathematically perfect circle at present time.

I'm thoroughly convinced genital reveal parties are on the rise as a direct result of trans and nonbinary people slowly becoming more accepted. They feel threatened and this is how they've responded.

If there's one thing the American South is known for, it's the preservation of traditions that civilised people left in the past and are rightly ashamed of.

Its just suburban whites with nothing to do obsessively one-upping each other, and imitating things they saw on facebook or pinterest. This is just the sort of dumb poo poo upper middle class normies get up to, they've reached the point of escalating one-upping that people are dying, so now a whole bunch of them are in the news. They aren't threatened, most of these folks probably dont even know what "non-binary" even means.

It is a very aggressive and loud proclamation of both a gender binary and of intrinsic values tied to said binary. They dont need to know the actual words to express it beyond "BLUE IS BOY FOR STRONG PINK IS GIRL FOR EW"

It’s actually a natural defense mechanism of cis straight people to fart the color of their baby’s birth sex when threatened.

She's a former vine person, now on Youtube who plays an incredibly redneck/white trash woman and embraces the gimmick HARD. And she just put up a "behind the scenes" for that video, so yeah, that was her.

I think it's also a natural extension of more and more gift-grabbing parties being attached to milestone events. People who do gender reveal parties probably also have multiple baby showers and a bunch of pre-wedding activities that cost everyone else a bunch of money.

I like trying to guess what the next big gift party trend will be. Maybe pregnancy milestones (a party every trimester?) Maybe "car warmings" when you get a new vehicle. A big send-off before a vacation to help pay for travel expenses. Or probably something to do with pets.

I take comfort in that so many of these people will have non-binary or Trans children and they are either going to have to face their ignorance or lose a kid.

None of these parents feel this way but I like to imagine that this is some sort of warding ceremony that guarantees a cishet child.

If they're smart they'll just use it as an excuse to have another gender reveal party, registered at Target and Macy's and please check the list to see what dish you've been assigned to make.

Is this really what people are like? My wife had to be cajoled into a bachelorette party, and most of the stuff we registered for was like, 25-50 bucks. We aren't having biological kids but I can't imagine after the first baby shower you'd do anything else. People are the worst.

Depends. I've noticed people that grew up without much just want you to come and spend time with them and maybe bring some food if you want to help out. People that grew up without want usually expect gifts or do registries or ask people to "chip in" with money for their own parties. "Achievement party" culture is pretty loving weird.

My wife and I had our wedding on a different continent and refused to have bachelor/bachelorette parties, or even bridesmaids and groomsmen. Our guest list still somehow managed to bloat to 30, but we tried to keep it reasonably small and intimate and hosed off with all the bullshit "traditions".

It still ended up costing us $$,$$$ but was worth it to keep everyone away who would have made it horrible.

We do thanksgiving dinner for friends every year, and accept donations to help with food cost (since we're cooking for 10+ people).
