Seriously, you don’t need much of an education to pass the test, and these days, most of the truck driving schools are merely teaching the students how to pass the test and have a modicum of safety awareness.

But you clearly don’t have to have a proper command of the English language or much more sense than a carbuncle.

She said she is protesting digitalis. This is from Wikipedia:

Digitalis is a genus of about 20 species of herbaceous perennial plants, shrubs, and biennials, commonly called foxgloves.


Here's the link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis

The woman in the video has no idea what she's talking about but she's willing to drive her rig (and pay for the fuel) to protest against topiaries.

Also many here are checking in while at work so they can't watch a video.

In the GD forum is is standard practice to give a summation of the content for your fellow members.

In the Video and Multimedia forum it is standard to post a video context free with no explanations because that forum is about the watching.

13. the first word she used: Digitalis.
Mon Mar 7, 2022, 03:05 PM
Mar 2022

Digitalis is an example of a drug derived from a plant that was formerly used by herbalists; herbalists have largely abandoned its use because of its narrow therapeutic index and the difficulty of determining the amount of active drug in herbal preparations. Once the usefulness of digitalis in regulating the human pulse was understood, it was employed for a variety of purposes, including the treatment of epilepsy and other seizure disorders, which are now considered to be inappropriate treatments.

A group of medicines extracted from foxglove plants are called digitalin.

Digitalis is in her vocabulary, and digitile is barely a part of it. I think it's a made up word that they think is cool and so they use it like the use democrat to own libs.

That being said, I think she doesn't understand a good half of the words she uses.

These clowns have been rolling around for a week and a half looking for an excuse to be rolling around with no argument to defend.

This song indicates their problem...



Good Excuse
John Butler Trio
All around I see raining
Things don't seem to go my way
God a dark cloud is hanging
And it seems to follow me
Boy, won't you just wake up
Hear the humming
This cool world is giving you
Better start running
Catch up with your life
I catch on up
Before the whole thing is through
Have you once have you twice
Have you even considered
It would be good for you
To gotta go and take another look around
You are just another white boy
Thinking your so hardcore
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
But you don't know how my heart laments
I've really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced can't heal the pain
Now there is only cheap regrets
I guess that's just the way it be
Is it the world, oh how I see me?
Boy now you are really
Really bugging
Yes you are bugging me
Can't you just shut right up
Your cup is overflowing
Overflowing
And you think it is too deep
You don't even know what side
You are vouching for
Boy would you turn your Game-boy off
Stop pretending it's you against the world
I am sick and I am tired
Of hearing you always say
I really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced can't heal the pain
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world

The big problem nobody wants to recognize is that trucking isn't the kind of job anybody can do. The trucking companies treat their employees like serfs, always have, which is why there is a shortage, that and drug testing for pot.

If the companies were more humane to work for, there wouldn't be a shortage of drivers and there would be a better caliber of drivers out there. Once upon a time it was a much friendlier troupe of drivers out there, when that stopped, I was glad to retire.

“They are trying to digitize us”. Makes a bit more sense, but still whacky as fuck.

Either way, it is a really dopey reason to lose more than a few days of revenue for.

A lot more in her body she should be worried about compared to her making a decision to stop taking a prescribed heart medication.

Then I thought she didn’t want her VHS tapes digitized (hey I’m grasping at straws here), but really how important is that?

The kicker is so common. “Well that’s what they’re saying.”

Seriously?
God help me if I thought sterilization would help I’d advocate it but there is nothing that can stop this mindless drivel from being perpetuated. Between the information on the internet with their bots sending you down a rabbit hole, Faux news, and a corrupt political class willing to talk shit, I wonder where hope for change will come from.

She doesn't want to take "medicine that will hurt people," and she's worried about people being controlled by "what they put in our bodies." I'm convinced this is about the covid vaccine and the (false, debunked) rumors about Bill Gates and his microchips. Remember, the Canadian convoy was about protesting vaccine mandates.

The rumors and conspiracy theories have gotten garbled after over a year of being posed back and forth, but I believe that's what's at the heart of this.

...there should be some penalty/accountability for spreading misinformation on public airwaves that causes people to make decisions that wreck their lives. When financial advisors and real estate experts give bad information to the public that causes people to lose money in investments, they are often sued. Why shouldn't the same apply to the right wing media (wonder what station that lady trucker listens to?) outlets who cause people to make such disastrous choices?

71. In the meantime she probably never looks at a food or OTC drug label.

Even frozen foods sometimes have several inches under ingredients, not to mention fast food and drugs. I guess that doesn't count.

I don’t know what’s sadder — that, or thinking that you have the intelligence to be acting like you know what you’re talking about.

76. I'm guessing that she means "digitized", as in "microchipped", ie something to do with computers.

106. I agree, and I think she was talking about the covid vaccine.

She doesn't want to take "medicine that will hurt people," and she's worried about people being controlled by "what they put in our bodies."

Remember the (false, debunked) conspiracy theories about Bill Gates and his microchips? If that's not what this was about, I'll eat this keyboard I'm typing on.

Dear, if you don't want to be digitalissed, don't develop heart disease. Lose those 60 pounds and do some exercise at truck stops and on your days off. Oh, and learn to READ. Even Fakebook is better than talk radio. Talk radio is the ooze on the very bottom.

That's why truckers are so vulnerable to this garbage, turning on talk radio because they're bored.

She is barreling down the interstate highway at 75MPH in an 80,000 pound truck -- in your rearview mirror and coming closer by the second.

They go on about that and much more batshit crazy stuff. I usually read through but since Ukraine I had to take a break they are off the deep end on pro Russian propaganda.

How do people this stupid/gullible manage to function? If breathing required cognitive ability and deciding whether to breathe in first or out first, these folks would be dead before they could decide.

There is a verb for putting someone on digitalis - digitalize.

This is the direct result of republicans "dumbing down" the United States.

She thinks the government is trying to control her using COVID vaccine.

Lady, there's only one party in this country that's trying to control your brain - such as it is - and that's the Trumpublican party. They want you dumb as a box of hammers (mission accomplished) and completely devoid of any critical thinking skills (again, mission accomplished).

Instead of raising your awareness and intelligence (but that makes muh' brain hurt!), you lower your already bargain basement thinking, to a level only slightly higher than that of a potted plant.

This is the GQP vision for America. They want everyone as intellectually stunted as this woman. This is why they detest Democrats.
