@SevroAuBarcat@FAFO_TV I don’t agree at all that the semi driver was clueless; that was my point. Thankfully there were no injuries, nobody “deserved” to die. If that *had* happened though, the only clueless driver was in the white truck, and it would have been his actions alone leading to that end.
@Sinokei_ @innerpeece@FAFO_TV Exactly — to maintain control of the semi knowing a collision pushing him left was inevitable, he corrects to the right. This avoids potentially putting his 25,000 lb. GVWR vehicle into fully oncoming traffic, and the cement road splitter.
@Ravens_flock1@FAFO_TV Because breakdowns never happen and everything is always black and white? We have zero insight into why the right lane tractor-trailer was driving so slow, and we know the saying about making assumptions.
@mEtil5656@Adelunth@FAFO_TV Required by law to make up for other people’s mistakes? What law??? If that were the case, we wouldn’t have “at-fault” collision determinations.
And no, it’s the lane ending who has to yield, ALWAYS.
I hope I never share a road with you, or drive in your insane country.
@MatthewRittenb8@bigrigassassin@FAFO_TV I’m a former trucker also. Sure, you could have slowed down. However - despite having more responsibilities, it’s NOT a commercial vehicle driver’s duty to correct the mistakes of other drivers, nor read intentions. White truck is still 100% at fault, no matter how you spin it.
@FAFO_TV That’s not to say however that the semi driver could not have done better to mitigate the damage by going into the cones. But this happened incredibly fast, and you won’t always make the best split-second decision.
White pickup is 100% at fault. Glad there weren’t injuries.
@FAFO_TV I have a CDL for context.
Absolutely everyone replying that the semi-truck was at fault is wrong, and should have their driving statuses re-evaluated. The white truck had all the time in the world to come to a stop; semis do NOT have the same capability to stop on a dime.
@Jkwaltontldr @krassenstein Two or more things can be true at the same time — it’s not a shocking or difficult concept to grasp.
Walton Wisdom is your username, but I’m bewildered because I’m having a hard time finding any wisdom in your question.
@1scoophazelnut@ADiddy13 @JonnyCanuck2 @ValaAfshar So because I’m in the industry, engaging in commentary and pointing out blatantly ignorant views is being sensitive?
@1scoophazelnut @JonnyCanuck2 @ValaAfshar I’d bet all my chips that the majority of core functionality teams will be secure in their positions regardless of interest rates. It’s not a one to one function.
@ADiddy13@1scoophazelnut @JonnyCanuck2 @ValaAfshar I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, or from who’s perspective. Twitter, which is the subject of discussion, is not a Wall Street firm. If you’re just talking from a societal aspect, these “laptop bourgeoisie” develop systems that connect society in one way or another.
@DrDCarter1 @kylegriffin1 However, I acknowledge that the broad relief these programs provide is worth the waste of money on those that prey on them. There are lots of students making responsible choices. Tuition is out of control, they can’t be blamed for needing to take on debt.
@DrDCarter1 @kylegriffin1 Well, my point was that it’s not as simple as pointing out a few bad apples and basing the entire program off of that group. There are many people that take advantage of welfare programs (a small percentage, though not negligible), who I’d really enjoy not paying to support.
@1scoophazelnut @JonnyCanuck2 @ValaAfshar Real job. Right. Because developing systems that bring together billions of users and hold up the global financial network isn’t a real job. You’re funny, I don’t see a parody account next to your username though. 🤡
@KosherRedPill @BradScottSmith1 Fantastic generalization there. And how about all the engineers, scientists, and business leaders that go to school for a degree? Billionaires absolutely do contribute to society - as do millions of young adults with higher education…
