Its a manly skill. To me it seems impossible in life to not know how to pull and back a trailer.

I could do it, just never had to. Learned how to shoot a rifle reasonable accurately in like 2 minutes. Drove my friend’s manual Civic a few blocks without murdering the clutch.
Backing up a truck with a trailer doesn’t seem like it would be difficult. Is there more to it than not jackknifing the shit?
So you can't back up a boat or drive a stick? You really are worthless! The problem most people make backing up a trailer is overcorrecting. Small movements are key.
In my defense, I was asleep for one of the crashes that totaled a car.

I did it once. I did alright. I’m not going to pretend I was a pro or anything but I got the car moving and kept it moving.
My parents never had a stick, so I never had a reason/opportunity to drive one.
Depends. I have a compressor in my car to put air in it but if it’s popped you’re damn right I’m calling Allstate’s roadside assistance.
Doubt it’s that hard to follow on YouTube but I’ve never felt the need
I thought a guy that far up north would know how to cut his own wood.
Putting on snow chains?
Same. AAA was clutch when my wife got a flat coming home from work on the highway. Same highway where Jim Boeheim killed that guy.
TS my wife had a flat coming out of work, forgot we had AAA and ended up having a legless guy changing the tire. She gave him 20 bucks and I was a little ticked she didn't call AAA.
Even a legless guy can change a tire.
Was it really Jim Boeheim though.... or was he covering up another Brooky murder?
You can get a great set of snow tires for about $500. Throw them on a front wheel drive car and there’s really no need for 4wd and certainly not ****ing chains lol. And I grew up in an area that set once set the national record for yearly snowfall.
If you back up using just mirrors in a vehicle with a rear window, you are a nerd lol.
Edit: I take that back. But I don’t see the purpose of restricting your field of view when you can just turn and look (like the DMV teaches, in NY at least).

I feel like my balls shrink if I don't get the chance to change tires, walk to a gas station, and beg someone to give me a jump.
True dat. I’ve done fine with all season tires on FWD vehicles. As long as they’re not bald and you pay attention, you’re good to go.
I was driving a little Hyundai Accent and threw some good winter tires on it and the thing drove like a tank. 12 inches of snow? Just fine.
What's yalls thoughts on assisted suicide? If someone is going to die eventually and they don't want to drag it out. Does it go against Hippocratic oath?
This was an awesome thing to debate in our “ethics in health care” philosophy class. It was my favorite class of my schooling. The entire thing was forming arguments on topics like that using different philosophies (Emmanuel Kant, Stuart Mill, etc.)
