That totally happened.
No part of this post seems even a little bit unlikely. Why wouldn’t it have happened?

I’m the Kevin of my circle. It can happen. You just have to know a guy. The price is pizza. And the unspoken promise that one day you’ll be called into duty when you’re needed.
A world of Kevin’s would be a utopia. Friends helping friends and neighbors helping neighbors because it costs nothing more than a bit of time to be kind.
This floats to the top of my feed from time to time and Im always happy to read it again
Tony brought gloves.
I hope he got pizza after moving the fridge.
You know he did. The price was set
This reminded me of how annoying my previous employer was after I got a Jeep Wrangler instead of a truck. He would mock me having a Jeep all the time. Like I know why you want me to get a truck and no thank you.
I am also concerned you got a Jeep.
I’m jk lol. Enjoy your vehicle.
Thanks, I’ve had it for about 10 years now. I plan to convert to an EV or hybrid sooner or later. The funny part is I use it like a mini truck.
Images you can hear.
When America isn’t busy being at war with itself, it is a hilariously wholesome co-op where everyone is a member of everyone else’s family.
I love coöps! It’s insane to me that this country doesn’t a coöp commonwealth based economy. Stakeholders are way more important than shareholders, but everyone wamts to gamble instead of sharing effort and lightening each other’s loads.
I wish Americans voted the same way they move couches. That is, for the purpose of helping someone with no expectation of profit.
That’s because there are outsiders that they do not move couches for. They get to choose. Judge as you will.
the disconnect between how people act face to face and how they vote is sometimes mind blowing
then with other people, it’s just right as expected. you know the type, the ones who never think to hold a door, who leaves shopping carts in the way, who act like dangerous assholes the moment they start driving a vehicle
We’d be a stakeholder socialist country if it weren’t for the oligarchs astroturfing and propagandizing.
There’s unfortunately a good bit of political gerrymandering influencing vote outcomes as well. If congressional districts were impartially drawn nationwide, the US House of Representatives would be a completely different legislative body
The propaganda is powerful but the DSA and the Working Families Party are working to fix things.
In Germany instead of Kevin there’s Jan, and instead of a truck he has a toolbox that’s bigger on the inside like the Tardis.
… and usually Jan knows a Maren who owns an old Bulli that you can use for the price of helping her get the seats out and later back in again. You know, in case Jan is busy carrying his toolbox with half your stuff over to your next house.
This is the most male coded thing I’ve read in years and it almost made me cry. This was sweet on a very masculine level 🥲
I love positive masculinity!
Need more of it in this world
The quiet, widespread masculinity that is never part of the conversation.
This is an old(-ish?) copypasta, but it’s a good one.
I’ve read it before. I’ll read it again. I have a truck, it’s ugly, it’s old, and it runs, so it gets used to haul stuff, most recently a refrigerator. The owner of the fridge was out of country. I had to be elsewhere at the designated time, so I was not the “arms”, just the guy with a truck. I’ve owned it for decades. I could not possibly sell it for anything like it’s value to society.
As a former truck owner: yup.
As a trailer owner: yup.
As an owner of two arms: yup.
This is a story about community building. And I loved it to bits.
This shit never gets old
