    Any bumper sticker threatening gun violence to thieves merely informs them fhat you own the only thing that gets more valuable when stolen

            Lol, the community over in reddit basically had as many people buying/selling as they did posts of people using the products. I think they had it in the forums for the bd site as well.

              I’ll be honest, I’m often less inclined to go to the lengths many would go to satisfy their libido. I guess if I ever decide to date again, I’ll be sure not to date anyone who has an affinity for bad dragon because used sex toys is definitely a hard no from me.

                I mean, I agree with you, personally, but I would make a bet that the amount of people trading sex toys is both bigger than you think, but still so small that you’d never meet one in your dating life.

                I sort of want the stats on who trades toys now, just to compare to the amount of people buying dragon-like objects in the first place.

            For bad ragons in specific? Yes. Last I checked there was a subreddit and a section in heir official forums to do so, and I am sure there were more spaces I didn’t know about (because I never cared to try looking).

            There are literally trusted middlemen for ensuring you don’t get scammed.

      There is a car where i work that has 5 ish different bad dragon head stickers with no mention of the brand name. No one can call them out without admitting they know what the logo is, and they keep adding more. They are my hero.

      Yeah, my other ride is a broom and similar stickers also imply if you cross my path you better be firm in your beliefs curses don’t work, because mine will find your immortal soul and drag it, screaming and writhing into the very heart of Hell.

      Also my coven depends on me for the sticky-icky and some amazing baked goods. And they don’t want me sad.

      I might be reading a lot into it.

    Shit like this is why nobody cares about privacy any more.

    Bunch of security media post stupid article about how stickers are leaking into and people just add it to the collection of dumb privacy shit they are told and don’t give a fuck about.

    Nobody is seeing a baseball sticker and using that to rob your house. It’s made up of fantasy shit that doesn’t occur in the real world.

    This is exactly why I don’t put shit on my car. That plus it’s incredibly lame.

    I’ll appreciate a funny one on someone else’s car though. And I also appreciate when someone puts a sticker on clearly showing they’re not worth even talking to, like political stickers or racist right wing extremist cult nonsense.

    I don’t put stickers on my cars typically. But man is this paranoid to the extreme. Unless you’re driving an expensive car it’s unlikely it would make you a target for anything other than road rage.

      I mean, my spouse has received death threats because of her line of work. We have 2 small children and we make sure they have no online presence at all (no pictures, comments, tags, etc), and we intentionally make sure to not have anything identifiable like this on our car. Our other family members have been included in threats before. If someone, for any reason, is targeting you, youre actually giving them a ton of information. Its easier to just not put it on your car and not risk it

        Yeah there’s personal tunnel vision for you. I’m lucky that my line of work is not the type that would enrage someone to violence so that didn’t occur to me. I’m going to assume your wife is helping people in a way that crazies don’t like. Please don’t shatter the illusion if it’s because her work hurts people.

          She does help people. Shes a family law attorney and she deals with some real crazies and some real shitty situations. If shes getting a person/kids out of a domestic abuse situation, that other person gets real hot when they get a restraining order against their kids.

          Or some other levels of crazy where her client believes their husband is trying to kill them by slowly poisoning them. She had a client bring in a bottle of shampoo to be analyzed because she was sure thats how he was doing it. Also that he was breaking in and spying on her and yada yada, but literally no evidence, so she couldnt give her any legal support. Well that person feels wronged. And hey, theyve been in your office where you have pictures painted by your kids so they know you have kids. If they see you go to your car in the parking lot with those kinda stickers, the crazy can continue (this is the person that actually threatened her father).

      That says: I support racist policing tactics, and might have guns, food buckets, testosterone creams, and dick pills at my house to steal.

    This family has a LOT of activities. And is middle class, but ranking enough to have free time and money to buy stuff, possibly due to the oilfield worker.

    Their neighborhood has family rivalries but is knit enough to have community barbecues. My daughter has best friends and ballet partners in the community, so at least we know our neighbors as fellow parents.

    Oh and if you fuck with us, we have high-powered rifles and know how to track a bitch. We also have friends with a similar set of skills.

    I’ve never noticed stickers under the numberplate, I guess they’re not as popular where I live. Most stickers I see on cars are on the windows. The few cars I’ve seen with stickers on the body of the car itself were owned by teens and more often than not looking like a piece of worthless junk on wheels. It might be a cultural thing, I take OP’s image relates mostly to America.
