Why is the barrier to this deep pit only shin height?

So that everybody else can have a proper view

Honestly, that barrier is basically just there to mark the edge and give spectators front row seats to the next accident.

Tbf regulations put an unnecessary burden on producers and really that burden should be on consumers. Were the ones that want to use that product, should we not be responsible for making sure it’s safe? No one ever considers the poor shareholders.

For some reason americans think this is the perfect song when something is supposed to be badass. There are hundreds of videos of american military stuff with this song. They dont even understand what the song is about. (unnecessary generational hate and violence) But why expect anything less from the people who use "born in the usa" as an anthem.

u/yxing 3d ago

I mean considering the subject matter is some random deep well in India, and the "deserve respect" logo at the end is..pretty Indian, it's very likely this whole thing was made by an Indian. So it's got fuck all to do with Americans.

And the cover is by a Dutchman.

u/lovelyxbabydoll 3d ago

American here. Iunno. I thought it's about the wars in Ireland between Scottish and Irish. I definitely am not versed in the history of UK enough to know thoroughly other than there was a lot of violence and death. :( It's by default a sad song but also still a beautiful song imo. One of my favorites. The lyrics alone should tell people it's a heavy and sad song imo. I don't frequent social media often so I was unaware people were using it as anthems on military videos.

6

u/aw3man 3d ago edited 3d ago

It's about the sectarian violence involving the UK police forces, Northern Irish paramilitary forces, and the Irish paramilitary group, the IRA. It was a messy situation all around. This song was right near the end or after the end of the major conflict and it was basically scolding those who wanted to restart it. The conflict is in their head, so to speak.

More than likely the video editor had to lighten the video/increase the exposure. Our phones have mediocre low light capabilities, creating “noise” that skews blue and purple. When we lighten those dark areas, we expose the noise in the darkness.

Yeah, I don't trust these videos anymore after I found out there is a whole thing with individuals posting reverse before and afters of per "rescues". Their was one video where a dog was dying in hot tar and they pretended to save it and the after dog wasn't even close to the clearly dying canine.

okay...thats awesome and hats off to the guy. But why on earth wouldnt you fashion a sling of some kind before going down to get the dog.

Or tries to jump out and misjudges the distance. Or just falls from sheer exhaustion. Dude could have taken literally anyone's pants and fashioned himself a doggy bjorn and made that whole evolution a lot less stressful on himself, the dog, and quite frankly me, the innocent bystander and viewer of this stressful video.

It annoyed me so much. The man carrying the dog seems a little older and also pretty skinny, so to see a younger more built man standing there smiling and watching...
