Damn AI art is really unleashing unto the world the untold horrors trapped in the minds of the collective unconsciousness
Just me, my hat, my rig, and the open road. No nagging wife.
2nd from the left looks like he’s drinking a bottle of bbq sauce
“And then I asked that city boy … didja try changing the blinker fluid!!!”
same energy
The irony of using AI to generate these things is always funny to me
Also love how they got indoor diner-style tables set up in the parking lot of… a roof? Just a roof, I guess.
Reactionaries have to keep using AI to make mythical pictures of the white working class because the working class of today is not white and not male.
They don’t want to drive to actual Appalachia to see real white poverty cuz that make trick them into being commies
Reactionaries are also, generally, bereft of artistic talent. When’s the last time you’ve heard of great art made by an Evangelical Christian?
Me and the boys having our breakfast of coffee and amphetamines iwth a big plate of bacon and grits and pancakes and amphetamines bfore we get on the road to 18 hours o f amapehtamines hauling hogs to amphetamins in and dtraking the log bpooks toooooo Jimmy needs his medicine alright if I don’t make it to nashville tonight I won’t ba able to make the payment on the truck.
fr though, if you look at average life expectancy of people various lines of work, long-haul trucking has to be way down on the list (at least in the US).
Word. Sitting that long is bad for you all by itself, in a blood clots kind of way.
If you remove the last part this actually sounds like an ideal life for me
These retvrn posts have changed my mind, I support the butlerian jihad now
Trwckers
Crest taers

Conservatives will share memes like this and get mad when workers complain about low wages and being overworked. They worship the independent, rugged worker without wanting to analyze why it’s no longer feasible. Just a bunch of baby brained thoughts
my partner just started doing OTR and apparently the current trucking industry is super, super gay, lots of women starting up and mostly gen Z
Isn’t this exactly how it is? And also how it was? I don’t get it, it’s a truck stop, every truck stop I’ve ever seen all over the world is like this except the truckers are more antisocial and just wanna get their work done rather than talk to each other.
I don’t get it.
Every time I see something like this I instantly look for demographic changes. So I found this study (it’s a DC thinktank, but one of the more normal ones) .
Important part: Seems like white men comprised 84% of truckers in 1979, and were reduced down to 55% by 2018. That’s what this always is. Well it’s probably also worsening job conditions and more general alienation, but a huge factor in nostalgia over certain jobs always seems to carry an unstated distress over how white people are less dominant.
OH they’re complaining that it’s not all white people now?
lmao I just completely didn’t even fucking notice that. Maybe because Europe? Race didn’t enter my head whatsoever. All I noticed was that it was all men but I was like “yeah fair enough trucking is mostly men to be fair”.
Well conservative types would never phrase it like that, but it’s almost always what they mean. All American conservative nostalgia is a wistful lamenting of how white people have less cultural and social dominance now.
It’s especially apparent when older conservatives say people weren’t as political in their youth, like the 60s and 70s. Yeah, white people weren’t as political, but black civil rights organizers sure were.
Love the guy with a sleeve on the back of his shirt going straight through the back of his chair somehow
i think the AI tried suggesting a jacket draped across the back of a seat, but because all it knows how to do is merge images it didn’t take into account that the jacket, seat, and guy are three separate things
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’ We gonna do what they say can’t be done.
I too, remember when I lived in the group of men sitting around table, laughing, trucks behind them, at a truck stop, painted work, artstation, good art, 4k
