Didn't see that until you pointed it out. Did he forget the parking brake?

That hill saved lives that day

in the Netherlands the hill wouldnt be needed since it wouldnt have moved in the 1st place. Atleast it would have moved at 3mph/5kmh instead of 15mph/25kmh

Why is that?

As in the Netherlands is flat so there wouldn’t have been an incline to pick up speed with?

Yes and i can confirm. On most roads you dont roll away except in the province of Limburg(close to the Ardennes) site you light have some hills but most times its just flat

Doesn't matter, he's asking one of those houses for a beer or two before he gets reamed out by the bosses

They often have 2 drivers here in Chicagoland. Which begs the question, was he even the driver?

I'm used to one in front and one and back, but one of the other comments mentioned something about it had been sitting there for an hour broken down and the possibility of the emergency brake failing.

That's an old black woman's morning wear, not a garbage man's outfit.

Nah man. You can even distinguish the big rubber gloves on them

Racist and wrong. Zoom in on the person. They're clearly wearing a high visibility work uniform with work boots and florescent yellow hems on the pants.

What exactly is racist about acknowledging a trend and not at any time making a judgment about it? Seems like you're projecting.

what isnt racist about it?

you literally said that its black womans clothing... like wtf

u/xbwtyzbchs Jun 16 '22

Because it is a style predominantly worn by older black women, that inherently makes it racist? Or is it that we can no longer assign anything to cultures? Saying that a culture/subculture participates in a fashion trend is not racist and anything making it racist has been implicitly projected onto my statement by you.

You said the word black. You’re racist. You said the word old. You’re ageist. You said the word woman. You’re misogynist.

you literally called it the outfit of a trashman(big insult for fashion), and you think that outside of the USA certain groupes of white people dont wear this?

the person prior to me implied that it was the driver of the vehicle that was in the background of the gif. I am fairly confident that that is a trash vehicle in this incident, therefore making him a trashman. I am sorry that their outfit is an insult to fashion you.

and you think that outside of the USA certain groupes of white people dont wear this?

I am not sure what that has anything to do with my comment being racist. Both of these choices can happily exist at the same time and neither of them are racist.
