How is that real and not AI Slop?

They think they’re the heroes in this story.

Oh yeah, wrong vehicle. I am DROWNING in numbers with one of my vehicle types: motorcycles. Every time I ride somewhere, I get someone coming up. So many reasons. They used to have my bike model, they want a buddy to ride with, they have a meet coming up, they’re doing a charity ride, they want photos, they… Wait you said girls didn’t you. Shit.

Girls? They come out when the 2 door Geo Tracker comes out with the roof off.

He didn’t buy it for MPGs, he bought it to complain about $/gals

iTs A liMa blah blah blah pinto, lima, it’s beans inside, this is beans

I did the same when a coworker showed up with an F350 crew cab 6.5ft bed. Lifted, offroad lights, cb antenna, diesel (which is the HD option in the US). He lives in the suburbs and pays laborers for everything. So I plopped my dutiful little Mazda B2300 next to it (Ranger) that regularly hauls a little bit of wood.

May I Mike a suggestion? Try lowering the camera to just a hand or two above the ground. It might change this from “skull on the forest floor” to “skull in a forest” and add depth and context

Those clouds don’t seem real. They meet the horizon but my brain isn’t convinced they shrink enough. Hell of a sky

Thanks for your insight. I’m currently a 3-hour drive outside of one of the top 8 Indian cities (by population). I stuck to the highways and didn’t notice such a drastic dropoff in wealth, but I definitely saw it in less than an hour.

To add to your bill denominations, I’ll add the prices of things I’ve seen for context. Current conversion is about 1usd to 85inr. Dinner in my industrial rural hotel has been 350-500 INR (<$7USD) and it’s 5,000/night ($70). 1L of Tata Copper water in the hotel is 50 (<1). I stayed in a VERY nice city hotel overnight where a beer was 600 (<8), an excellent dinner buffet was 2400 (28usd), and the room was about 11,000/night (126) - not far off in price from my experience with, say, a suburban Hampton Inn in the US. My colleague tipped the city bellhop 200 (2.30) and the rural one 100, but I can’t guarantee that’s the proper amounts. My entire trip through a museum with all the add-on attractions cost 300 (<4)

I’m India for my first time right now. I mean no disrespect to the people here because both the government oversight and the necessity to appease wealthier nations dumping their dirty work here is unavoidable. The air is awful. I had the misfortune of looking out my window for a domestic flight into a city with worse smog and it was like an aggressive descent into madness. It’s worse than when my US region got dusted by California wildfire smoke a couple years ago. I’m told winter is especially bad because the 90°F 80% humidity weather is more stagnant than the summer, so it’s like a 2000ft tall blanket of asthma that won’t disperse. Despite the damp air, the ground is pretty dry so everything is dusty and kicked up easily.

[rant developing] And my country has the nerve to say we don’t need so much environmental regulation? That humans don’t have an impact? That life wasn’t so bad before the EPA? Such a dismissive thought process to be self-serving to avoid inconvenience. Such a disengenuous appeal to avoid responsibility. Such a naive mindset to beleive unregulated capitalism will safeguard the population’s interest. So much blind faith put into the idea that you’re just a temporarily-embarrassed decamillionaire waiting for your turn to reap corporate welfare. No, my country is just fat and greedy. If my first trip to industrial Mexico was eye opening, the expanded idiom would be too gruesome to describe what I’m seeing in industrial India.
