I fully believe the single most important thing to any conservative male that espouses their NEED for a pickup over taking the train and walking two blocks is that they can't purposefully run over people on a train/metro and look big and intimidating.

This is why we call them "gender-affirming vehicles," or "emotional support trucks."

My wife calls them "tiny penis trucks". If there's a bunch all together, it's a "tiny penis parade"

I like the gender affirming vehicle though. Not too many women desperate to drive a truck that never touches dirt or cargo.

I believe that autocorrect changed the word "causes" to "spouses" on you without you noticing.

I'd say it was meant to be "espouses"

espouse

verb

  1. To become/get married to.
  2. To accept, support, or take on as one’s own (an idea or a cause).

That's definitely a better fit.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well, I'm glad you guys can interpret what I meant!

Yes I meant "espouses" but my autocorrect dropped the first "E" and I didn't proofread well enough.

Substitute the word "causes" for the word "spouses," and it makes sense.
