Sorry did I miss something…was this in general or directed towards a specific post?
Think of it as a PSA directed at every future Farewell post.

For those that feel the need to post a Farewell telling all of us about your choice to get rid of your Gladiator for another vehicle - do it with class and wish everyone best of luck without denigrating the Gladiator product. If you choose to speak poorly of Jeep Gladiators you should expect this community to roast your butt and you should not get butt hurt when it happens.

I have never cheered for my team by saying the other team sucks. I have hit plenty of people in the mouth who couldn't figure out the difference though. Figure it out keyboard warriors.
RIGHT ON !

It's been a few years ago now, but there was a study done by one of the major new magazines or something like them that took 3 young women, aged about 19-21 as I recall, and told them to give up their cell phone for a time period I believe was like 3 days.
One of them literally had to have medical help - went into actual full withdrawal symptoms like any person addicted to anything like drugs or alcohol would - sweats, anxiety and so on. One quit - couldn't handle it. It was so stressful for them it was proof that it's an actual addiction. One of the co-creators of Fakebook even admitted as much - it was deliberately planned that was so that once in, you never wanted to leave, had trouble getting through the day without it.

Some major businesses have called in consultants to figure out why they have trouble with so many new hires - put them in a room where people have opinions or ideas contrary to theirs and they literally can't handle it. They get outraged. How DARE you!. They have lost the ability to read facial expressions and body language cues. Their life is emojis, thank you Apple for those ugly spooky images you make people really like (they creep me out, literally, like some primal thing. Apple's "emojis" are the most spooky creepy, out there)
Anyway, they can't handle "team meetings". They can't sit back and listen in a group.
My son and I have discussed this sort of thing at length many times - and he's seen it himself in the various places he has worked. He likes a "hybrid" work environment, especially since no one on his team is even in the same building, but still likes the fact that he can go to an office and interact with people personally. He says it's a whole lot easier on complex topics to actually be there in person, with the group.
That’s just crazy….I believe it….
Then, there’s another side of the cheek….
My nephew (whom, I haven’t interacted with much since they live so far away) is 30 years old. My sister (his mom) calls him “socially ackward”. Soo ackward, that I don’t think he does anything with social media. The kid was sheltered all his life…… Mom thought it was a good idea to keep him away from anything and everything that could be bad for him (or promote ‘bad thoughts) - Instead of exposing him to everything and teaching the good from bad. He hasn’t kept any job because he’s not happy or doesn’t like it. Has tried college….left. Had tried moving out once but…ended up moving back home. He moved out again just a month ago and since quit his job (the reason why he moved). My sister fears he’ll be back home again.

He’s a good kid…. Loves playing his guitar when we visit ( he’s actually pretty good). I don’t know what to make of it…. more like his Dad.

His sister - who’s 4 years younger turned out completely different (more like Mom). Is pretty normal….. married… helps with her husbands car hauling business.

I just hope the younger generations can work enough to pay my social security when I retire. 🤣 I had to say it….😂

Why do we delete posts? It makes it so tough to follow along! Let people post what they want and let everyone else opine about it! 😂

It's the American way! Nobody is in here threatening to hurt anyone are they? Would anyone care if they did?

I still do not like my Gladiator's big ass. But overall, I love that thing, big ass and all. Reminiscent of a girl I once knew...pretty to look at, plenty of fun, big ass.
Some of us like big asses. :rock: :rock:
