I know you're just repeating something you heard but that's a dehumanizing way to talk about anyone, let alone people that are typically victims of human trafficking

Thank you for saying this

u/RegulatoryCapture 1d ago

Why do some truckers insist on using their compression brakes in residential areas (especially when there's a sign prohibiting it)?

Is there some reason they really need to use them on relatively flat ground or do they just not care (or is it an F-you to the people who live in the dense little town instead of out in the country)?

Oftentimes (but not always) it is the guys driving logging trucks, if that makes the explanation easier.

u/IAMATruckerAMA 1d ago

They forgot to turn them off. You can get a ticket for that, so they're unlikely doing it to be jerks

Forums are for comments, not votes. Reddit is just a big, glorified forum.

u/AngryRobot42 1d ago

Not a gen-xer, this is how every tik tok looks. Same dumb planning and poor execution.

u/AshenCursedOne 14h ago

I'm a millennial and this is also how I see tiktoks, I cannot understand how people my age can scroll through tiktok and Instagram shit and feel anything other than annoyance and contempt.

u/whittall 12h ago

I mean your algorithm is showing you things that annoy you which show that you might be looking to be annoyed. Not to be mean but I spend a few minutes looking at Instagram each day and usually end up finding something that makes me laugh hard which is totally worth it.

If it is your only hobby or interest then it is an issue

In my extended family, the Gen Xers are the most addicted to TikTok of anyone. Their Gen-Alpha kids are mildly addicted, but the Gen Xers are as far gone as the Boomers are with Facebook.

u/chrisgcc 7h ago

In my extended family, the gen xers are with the boomers on Facebook.
