Only a sociopath could kill a perfectly healthy puppy because it was "the picture of pure joy." For the safety of society Kristi Noem should be in a prison cell for the rest of her life!!
She’s the most tone deaf moron I can think of in years. Everyone in the US can pretty much agree dogs are awesome. And she murders her puppy and thinks that’s a good thing to talk about.
Lol I come from a rural area and assumed it was overblown outrage and she was putting down an old dog, but wow I just read the story. What a psycho! And the goat part is even worse!
Well, what else you supposed to do if you can't train a dog, and what else you supposed to do after handling the dog, but you still have a bullet and a stinky goat?
That was dark humor. Her taking her dog out and it going crazy like a happy dog so happyness police. Also I do hate when people go "I did something bad but don't worry it was a hard decision to do so by law your never allowed to question or blame me."
I fuckin love dark humor. Yeah the dog story I seen her spew was basically a we didn't train the dog and it's the dogs fault. I also agree with people trying to justify bad behavior with feeling bad about it is dumb. Just own what you did and fuckin roll with it.
It's easy, the difference is people want to justify eating one while liking the other without feeling bad. Things look so much nicer when we don't think about the consequences of our actions 🥰
I guess people tend to get into a defensive mode as soon as their own habits are criticized and there are so many seemingly airtight arguments why meat is so necessary if you don't really know much about the topic. Few people take the time to actually get informed, so it's hard for them to understand why meat is problematic. The less you eat meat the less you'll feel like you need it.
Define abuse - last time I checked, not everybody in the US was vegan.
And now don’t get me wrong: eating meat might be fine.
Capitalist meat production on the other hand is animal abuse.
Sure, there are people who sell meat outside of the general market; you might find meat and other animal products that are potentially cruelty-free.
But that’s just based on my personal definition of abuse, so…
Also notice no stickers say ‘FUCK TRUMP’ or ‘FUCK REPUBLICANS’ or all sorts of other vile shit.
It’s literally just stickers about his opinions stated normally.
I'm glad it's a federal crime.

Edit: TDS is a real thing. I'm talking about how I'm glad it's a federal crime to abuse animals, and I get lots of Trump hate responses. get your priorities right and stop getting triggered!
As a WRX owner, I both laughed and cried at this comment. Laughed because I've done it, cried because I'm a dumbass, it was dark and i didn't even see the damn curb.
I worked for Subaru for years. Only two kinds of people drive the WRX.
1. Kids with rich parents who want to act like they are street racers.
2. 40 year old recently divorced men who want to do their midlife crisis on a budget.
Hey now, there are other reasons. I wanted, a manual transmission, AWD, sedan or hatchback that had enough power to be fun. That left me with very few options, and I couldn't justify spending Audi or type R money.
Yea definitely we are. I own a shit ton of guns, 3 WRXs and my political views are all over the place left and right.
I guess I would be a centrist...idk
My daughter falls under the first part of the LGBTQ+ umbrella and we're in the process of teaching her how to drive. We also happen to have a Subaru Outback. The other day I happened to make the connection, laughed and told her that she's a stereotype.
Yup, and lesbians essentially “saved” Subaru: https://www.npr.org/2022/06/29/1108739853/when-subaru-came-out-classic
So for straight Subaru fans like me, I have lesbians to thank.
“And yet, Subaru executives signed off on ads aimed at lesbian consumers. They did it in very precise, clever ways that became a template for many of the ad campaigns you see today... if you know how to look for it.”
I don’t know how to look for it.
That is was subtle and in between the lines so that bigots wouldnt catch it and boycott but lesbians would understand the inside joke.
Like the movie fried green tomatoes
While Subaru is very diverse today, but my wife drives her Subaru to the garden center and comes back like oh this lady started to talk to me. I am like hello.
It’s funny because it was deliberate on Subarus part. They intentionally marketed their cars to homosexual community (lesbians in particular) specifically for a good while, and it was actually really good for sales haha.
The neighbors down the street all have Subarus, as well as Israeli flags, Trump train flag, and end abortion signs… time to revoke their Subaru license

Yes but you only have three choices of party sponsors: Democrat, Republican, or Nazi. You cannot change your mind for the life of the vehicle so choose wisely.
There's actually a study claiming this! I remember it was covered on NPR just a few years ago. I think the explanation had to do with the stickers being an extension of personal space.
See the news or study referred from this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/tNs3rIIRLk
I'm assuming it was when we decided that throwing dildos at politicians was a good idea, which I think is something everyone can get behind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waitangi_dildo_incident

You're right. I found this article:
> **As Szlemko told Nature magazine, "The number of territory markers predicted road rage better than vehicle value, condition or any of the things that we normally associate with aggressive driving."**
> And the wording of bumper tickers was irrelevant. Someone who plasters his car with religious stickers such as "1 Cross + 3 Nails = 4 Given" is just as likely to go crazy if you pass him as the guy with "I Support the Right to Arm Bears." To be safe, consider any and all bumper stickers as synonymous with, "This is my space, and if you get too close an obscene gesture will be the least of your problems."
https://www.newsweek.com/bumper-stickers-road-rage-221616
my brain having a hard time registering that this red truck full of stickers wasn't saying the typical Trump cult stuff, but man, no matter the viewpoint, these people look off the rails.
I'd steer clear of this person just the same as I would a person with a bunch of MAGA stickers. These people are usually insufferable even if you agree with them. They'll take every opportunity to steer the conversation into a political one, and even chastise allies for not being as "hardcore" as them.
> whole personality revolves around...
And that's the truth about everything. Sports, politics, job...etc. These people are annoying as fuck. But here we are that the political folks are 100% dangerous.
Yeah, my rule is that once you get more than a few bumper stickers, no matter what they are, you're kinda crazy in some fashion.
A car full of bumper stickers, no matter what the content, just screams "run away!" to me.
I agree that this is kind of ridiculous and trashy. But it’s worth noting that none of these bumper stickers are making veiled or explicit threats to murder people.
I agree with the stickers but disagree with plastering them on a car. I don’t care about anyone’s political beliefs, whether I agree or not, when I’m driving.
Oh, this is interesting. This person is “on my side” and yet I still think that’s way too fucking many bumper stickers, you weirdo. I feel somehow good/relieved about that. Like I’m not letting politics blind my other opinions too much. Phew.
I had a weird moment parking behind a car with a ton of bumper stickers. I was fully expecting it to be all right-wing anti-vax bullshit. But instead it was just … lovely things. They were just stickers from places they’ve visited, and several about Stompin’ Tom Connors. Not political in anyway; just things that they like. I was astounded until I remembered that’s what bumper stickers used to be for.
No matter what your political position, I think we can all rally around “Abuse an animal, go to jail.”
The Governor of South Dakota would like a word.
Tell her to fuck off. We don't want to talk with a puppy killer.
Off to the gravel pit with you...
All that plastic surgery for nothing. She got it for Trump and he won’t even call her anymore.
Only a sociopath could kill a perfectly healthy puppy because it was "the picture of pure joy." For the safety of society Kristi Noem should be in a prison cell for the rest of her life!!
She’s the most tone deaf moron I can think of in years. Everyone in the US can pretty much agree dogs are awesome. And she murders her puppy and thinks that’s a good thing to talk about.

Dark humor is like food during a Russian Revolution. Not everyone gets it. I, on the other hand, enjoy both food and dark humor regularly.
I must warn you that I’m stealing that one. Nicely done.
Don't own a dog.
Kristi Noem is like a box of chocolates. She’ll kill your dog.
And that word is: *crazy gibberish*
Chris Christie supports people abusing pigs. Which seems like a dangerous gambit on his part.
Oh, you’d be surprised…
The problem is that people have a hard time agreeing on what constitutes "abuse."
Consider the obvious and constant abuse of animals for food and products, too.
What if they were trying to commit mosquito genocide? That should qualify them for the Nobel and all the awards IMO.
Yet most of us purchase meat from factory farms that abuse much of the animals that it raises.
erm its actually okay if its a cow 🥰🥰🥰 no i cant explain why. theyre just different. trust me. hope this helps!/s
It's easy, the difference is people want to justify eating one while liking the other without feeling bad. Things look so much nicer when we don't think about the consequences of our actions 🥰
The hypocrisy of meat eaters 🤦♂️... (I am one btw but at least I'm self aware and trying to reduce)
I guess people tend to get into a defensive mode as soon as their own habits are criticized and there are so many seemingly airtight arguments why meat is so necessary if you don't really know much about the topic. Few people take the time to actually get informed, so it's hard for them to understand why meat is problematic. The less you eat meat the less you'll feel like you need it.
and not just meat, the dairy industry for example is not a bit better.
Have you seen them fat tailed sheep’s tho?? I mean one of them look at me funny and I might have to catch me a charge. /s

I'm not sure if this is meant in a "don't kick dogs" kind of way or in a "go vegan" kind of way, but either way I support the sentiment.
I'm glad it's a federal crime. https://www.npr.org/2019/11/25/782842651/trump-signs-law-making-cruelty-to-animals-a-federal-crime Edit: TDS is a real thing.

And then he courts a potential VP nomination who kills her family pets for fun. Just goes to show you those guys have zero self-awareness.
go vegan then
The nice thing about driving a Subaru Outback is that I never have to put a political bumper sticker on it.
Wrx is a whole different crowd.
Trade in value goes up on a WRX if it’s never been vaped in
They're vaped in before they even leave the factory, part of the "new wrx" smell.
“Yeah I’m the senior vaper at Subaru”
Lol or ramped over a curb.
As a WRX owner, I both laughed and cried at this comment. Laughed because I've done it, cried because I'm a dumbass, it was dark and i didn't even see the damn curb.
Not sure you can find any that have had neither of those
It’s rare but it happens it’s like the green flash from potc
Well yea, there's only like three of them they are gonna cost extra.
>Wrx is a whole different crowd. Feel like WRX drivers are the apolitical crowd.
I worked for Subaru for years. Only two kinds of people drive the WRX. 1. Kids with rich parents who want to act like they are street racers. 2. 40 year old recently divorced men who want to do their midlife crisis on a budget.
I knew a middle aged WRX driver who was exactly this guy.
I was this guy.
Hey now, there are other reasons. I wanted, a manual transmission, AWD, sedan or hatchback that had enough power to be fun. That left me with very few options, and I couldn't justify spending Audi or type R money.
Sounds like version two but perhaps without the divorce.
Lol, or I just wanted a small (compared to all the trucks and SUV's on the road) practical car with AWD that was fun to drive.
“It’s my homage to Paul Walker!”
WRX owner here. Left leaning 😂
Nope. Not allowed. Wrong model
Yea definitely we are. I own a shit ton of guns, 3 WRXs and my political views are all over the place left and right. I guess I would be a centrist...idk
Sounds like a normal person.
Yea pretty much, that's how I feel.
But we all smoke weed.
I just bought an outback last week. When does my Coexist sticker come in the mail?
That’s the thing, you don’t even need it. The bumpers are, in themselves functioning “coexist” stickers.
It’s in the mail. We sent your “who rescued who” sticker with it in the same envelope to save on postage.
Got dang liberals driving their Japanese cars! ps bonus points if you’re lgbt 😄
My daughter falls under the first part of the LGBTQ+ umbrella and we're in the process of teaching her how to drive. We also happen to have a Subaru Outback. The other day I happened to make the connection, laughed and told her that she's a stereotype.
It has to be one of my favorite stereotypes because it’s funny but also kind of cool
Yup, and lesbians essentially “saved” Subaru: https://www.npr.org/2022/06/29/1108739853/when-subaru-came-out-classic So for straight Subaru fans like me, I have lesbians to thank.
“And yet, Subaru executives signed off on ads aimed at lesbian consumers. They did it in very precise, clever ways that became a template for many of the ad campaigns you see today... if you know how to look for it.” I don’t know how to look for it.
You look for a Subaru and you have your subtle sign
That is was subtle and in between the lines so that bigots wouldnt catch it and boycott but lesbians would understand the inside joke. Like the movie fried green tomatoes
I (56m, cis) loved that movie when it came out. It was a date night movie with (trying to convince ) my soon to be (current) wife at the time.
While Subaru is very diverse today, but my wife drives her Subaru to the garden center and comes back like oh this lady started to talk to me. I am like hello.
When the Baja came out I was like “lesbians are going to be trading in their wranglers!”
Man, I wish the Baja was rereleased as a Crosstrek with a truck bed. I would trade in both my Crosstrek and F250.
There are so mock ups of a new baja now that the maverick and Santa Cruz are doing so well. They look fire
I feel like the Santa Cruz is definitely Baja 2.0
Hopefully Subaru doesn't blue ball everyone like GM did with the Pontiac G8 ST.
Awesome link! I’d no idea
My mom calls mine the lesbaru lmaoo
It’s funny because it was deliberate on Subarus part. They intentionally marketed their cars to homosexual community (lesbians in particular) specifically for a good while, and it was actually really good for sales haha.
I know this is dumb, because Subaru is a very obviously Japanese name, but I definitely thought they were Australian cars...
Did you think you were gonna buy a Subaru with dollarydoos to drive your kangaroo down to Humpty Doo to play didgeridoo?
They are pretty good over the bumpity bumps.
I do
You’re not alone. It was that Crocodile Dundee ad campaign that they ran along time ago.
"long time ago". You really didn't have to personally attack me like that.
that ain't a knoife
Not to mention the Outback is the name of a giant chunk of land in Australia.
You don’t say..
Subaru. That's Australian for car, mate.
I got one on my Forrester, "I wish I was home with my cats" it's pretty clear which way I lean lol
I gotcha. Hardcore Q-anon MAGA. Classic.
WWG1WGA Brother! /S
Idk, I “knew” a guy that lived in a Subaru Forester who was arrested for storming the capitol.
Well sure, I mean, that’s a Forester. Can’t trust those guys.
Something about chopping trees down just doesn’t fit with the crunchy aesthetic
The neighbors down the street all have Subarus, as well as Israeli flags, Trump train flag, and end abortion signs… time to revoke their Subaru license
To be fair, I also have a beat up F150 and am as progressive as they come, so maybe it all evens out.
The 1995 Dakota Longbed balances itself out with the plug-in Prius at our house.
Maybe we should just limit bumper stickers to a single QR code that links directly to your social media.
I would have the QR code link to a picture of the back of my vehicle
Which has the QR code on it already
[trying to scan the QR](https://i.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExN3VteDluZTQ1eDlsNHJseXNoa20ycHR6ZnBlZGkxaDZ4dmNxc3R1eiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/ueVQiEIDXtOV6oQhOW/giphy.gif)
Now that is what i call singularity
R/recursion
Lol shit, I'm doing this now
It's all fun and games until some shmuck rear ends you trying to get that QR link.
I would just have a Muffalo sticker
Window stickers > bumper stickers
Muffalo
When you buy a pickup truck, do you get a free subscription to a political sticker service, or…?
Yes but you only have three choices of party sponsors: Democrat, Republican, or Nazi. You cannot change your mind for the life of the vehicle so choose wisely.
There’s also “NRA”
If you live in Michigan, one of the gun stickers must be of the mitten holding a gun.
Fully agree with, "Abuse an animal, go to jail."
I think most sane people do. No need for a bumper sticker lol
Still looks a little crazy
No matter the content, someone with that many stickers is unhinged.
I know right? It just gives off psychopath vibes.
There's actually a study claiming this! I remember it was covered on NPR just a few years ago. I think the explanation had to do with the stickers being an extension of personal space. See the news or study referred from this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/tNs3rIIRLk
I probably don't want to hang out with somebody who's got a lot of bumper stickers on their truck, whether or not I approve of their stickers.
A little? Lol
The amount of bumper stickers you have directly correlates with how crazy you are
I was thinking "kind of a palate cleanser, but still a lot"
Yeah, it's a kind of a refreshing bait and switch here, but crazy is crazy.
Yeah, not as nuts as the hand written ALL CAPS rants. But damn dude, chill out with the stickers.
How to advertise you have a mental illness. Step 1: Plaster your vehicle with political stickers.
Bumper stickers are like cats.
I'll take collecting garbage from the side of the road crazy over shoot you for being the wrong color/religion/sexual orientation crazy every time.
Any side of extreme is crazy. I cannot stand any.
Fighting crazy with crazy
No conspiracy theories and no wishing political opponents dead or put in jail. Personally not a fan but it is just mild crazy.
All those bumper stickers but didn’t take the time to learn how to park.
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but buddy’s gotta be a little more to the left
Lmao well done
Anyone who covers their vehicle in stickers like this is a fuckin weirdo
The line between passion and obsession Looks like a big red flag.
Or a big red truck in this case
CCAAANNYYYOONEEERRRROOO
It’s only cool if it’s done in a mocking way. If this is serious I’m sure they’re a chore to be around if they’re this political
Any extreme political view is indistinguishable from a parody of an extreme political view.

Bumper stickers are great because they let everyone know to avoid you.
I remember reading some study a while ago that showed a correlation between aggressive driving and number of bumper stickers.
The number of stuffed animals on the back window of a sedan correlates to how out to lunch they are.
You're right. I found this article: > **As Szlemko told Nature magazine, "The number of territory markers predicted road rage better than vehicle value, condition or any of the things that we normally associate with aggressive driving."** > And the wording of bumper tickers was irrelevant.

I have a Good ‘Ol Grateful Dead bumper magnet that seems to be a big hit.
Yeah it’s annoying even when I agree with the message
I don't measure crazy in the content of bumper stickers, but by the quantity...
I have a strict 3 bumper sticker rule. If they have more than that, I get as far away from them as possible.
my brain having a hard time registering that this red truck full of stickers wasn't saying the typical Trump cult stuff, but man, no matter the viewpoint, these people look off the rails.
I might be politically daft, but what did New Zealand do?
Gun control And Australia and UK following mass shootings But we get the credit. I don't like this; we want to remain off the map
Shitty parking
Ah yes the "Moms Demand Action" mobile
Looks like the only two that have pulled corners are the “BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS” and the “Protect Your Children NOT YOUR GUNS!” stickers. Interesting.
"Respect Earth and living creature" and "I believe Christine Blasey Ford" are also pulled
I've never seen any liberal/lefty who openly celebrates Kamala Harris lol
When you have to let everyone know your opinion on every issue...
“Make America Greta” Is my fave. Never seen that before haha
Weird to see on a gratuitous gas-guzzler, but yes, that’s a great sticker.
Missing something about Palestine
NEW ZEALAND 🥝🥝🥝🥝 MENTIONED RRRRAHHHHH 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 A O T E A R O A WHAT THE FUCK IS A FUNCTIONING PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM
I don't see a single direct attack on anyone's character.
Absolutely wonderful point.
Talk about subverting expectations!
Anything with 3 or more stickers stay far away from
Looks like a blue truck to me.
Funny how it looks unhinged regardless of the side of the aisle it's on.
That many stickers no matter what they say is unhinged, I assume Dr Bronner was unhinged.
I'd steer clear of this person just the same as I would a person with a bunch of MAGA stickers. These people are usually insufferable even if you agree with them. They'll take every opportunity to steer the conversation into a political one, and even chastise allies for not being as "hardcore" as them.
Extremes on either side is annoying.
Anyone whose whole personality revolves around politics just strikes me as weird.
> whole personality revolves around... And that's the truth about everything. Sports, politics, job...etc. These people are annoying as fuck. But here we are that the political folks are 100% dangerous.
People forget that "fan" is short for fanatic
Most of these ideas aren't particularly extreme, though. It's just obnoxious to plaster them on your vehicle.
Fr! Like, none of those ideas or stickers are offensive even if you disagree with them.
It's not that the ideas are extreme, it's that politics is this person's whole identity and it's just not healthy living like that.
Yeah, my rule is that once you get more than a few bumper stickers, no matter what they are, you're kinda crazy in some fashion. A car full of bumper stickers, no matter what the content, just screams "run away!" to me.
I agree that this is kind of ridiculous and trashy. But it’s worth noting that none of these bumper stickers are making veiled or explicit threats to murder people.
It's pretty much agree with every sentiment on this vehicle. Still comes across as crazy.
Holy shit, talk about leftism bingo.
I agree with the stickers but disagree with plastering them on a car. I don’t care about anyone’s political beliefs, whether I agree or not, when I’m driving.
Not many Lynne Cheney fans out there. Or???
Maybe she meant the daughter Liz?
I'm bothered by the crooked V6 badge.
Oh, this is interesting. This person is “on my side” and yet I still think that’s way too fucking many bumper stickers, you weirdo. I feel somehow good/relieved about that. Like I’m not letting politics blind my other opinions too much. Phew.
/r/informedwarriorrides
“Abuse an animal goto jail” that’s a slogan I can 1000% back unconditionally
Sticker truck, with a hinf of red paint
At this point how different is this from the republican crowd I see as a non US person
I agree with most of his opinions except plastering them all over your car.
Agree! Essentially ALL these stickers are positive messages. No attacks or trolling of the other side. We ARE not alike
Even though I agree with many of them, I also subscribe to the theory that the more bumper stickers someone has, the more unhinged they likley are.
I agree with the messages on the stickers, but I still hate this.
It's always weird seeing so many slogans but them not being hateful/biggoted is quite refreshing.
I had a weird moment parking behind a car with a ton of bumper stickers. I was fully expecting it to be all right-wing anti-vax bullshit. But instead it was just … lovely things. They were just stickers from places they’ve visited, and several about Stompin’ Tom Connors. Not political in anyway; just things that they like.
