what's cool about modern bull-jumping is how it makes ancient Minoan bull-jumping myths completely credible. It isn't just bullshit.

I watch these a lot. This is about the most well-produced I've seen, and the sound embellishments are perfect. Good stuff.
I've often wondered, when watching someone about to engage the pavement bareskinned and face down at 45 mph or getting stuck in the nads like that first guy, do you like me sometimes get a sort of goosebumpyish shiver that runs through you as if it's your own body about to suffer the consequences? Like your body is involuntarily saying 'please God no...'?
Absolutely. I find myself flinching and even warning the victim, knowing what's coming.
so the guy was doing some Roman chair? That's what 'happened'? Or did I miss something?
well yeah, that's fairly apparent. So I guess in answer to my question, you're saying no I didn't miss anything. OK then.
All you missed is that there is a significant number of people who go to the gym and, while doing some form of workout, they film it so that they can produce content for their social media/fans (I personally see this trend mostly from young women who often are not doing anything impressive other than showing off their form, and I don't mean their workout technique - who knows, maybe it's just as many guys and for some crazy reason my feed shows predominately ladies, lol). In so doing, they often film others in the background who have not given permission or simply don't care to be filmed while at the gym. They also will often take much longer using equipment than they should (they have to do multiple "takes", change angles, etc.)
This has resulted in a trend from other gym users who will intentionally do something to screw up the filming session. The thinking is that it's not your private studio to film your sm content and you shouldn't do such things in a public gym. Get your workout in, leave, and stop wasting other people's time by monopolizing equipment, etc. just to get clicks for whatever it is you do.
The excuse of filming one's form is dubious and situation dependent. In the X that was linked, the guy surely knew exactly what he was doing.

aw, OK then, lol. Thanks for confirming that as I expected, I'm not missing much by not indulging in social media beyond this place and limited youtube viewing,....if youtube is considered social media.
I think it's dependent on how any given person defines SM. Strum would certainly define YT as SM, but most people under 30 probably don't think of it that way (I mean, that's where he gets his news, lol). I personally have had multiple SM accts over the years, but, and it's a big one, I have never posted a single thing. I have them simply to keep up with postings of my family and friends because that's how many of them choose to communicate/interact nowadays. The collection of photos I have of my grandson for instance is extensive and 99% of them I have grabbed from from daughter-in-law (or her family) when they've posted something.
I have FB, for example, and about 99% of the time I have ever spent on it was for the Marketplace feature. I do enjoy X ever since it actually became free speech again. It's amazing what you hear about in a timely fashion that's never even mentioned in legacy media. Never had TicTac as my brother who works for a three-letter agency would kick my behind. Many of the videos posted there get reposted on another platform. When it all got monetized and people realized they could make real money from it, things exploded. That's the problem of the so-called "workouts" that we were discussing. It's not some personal trainer or physical therapist trying to help you in your workout - it's almost always some young girl trying to get clicks to get paid.
nice rundown, thanks. The many self-videos I have run across seem to be nothing but obnoxiously self-indulgent trash. I had no idea there might be money being made with them. I am aware of the youtube scheme but not in detail, and as much as I really like some content, I never subscribe to anything or 'like' a video. I'm just an a-hole that way I guess.
But I might actually succumb to the temptation and get on 'X' now. Or I could just keep waiting for the most essential to filter down to this place. Har.
those gators took direction amazingly well.
They were immobilized in position with an anchor of sorts. I'm afraid it completely failed to suspend my disbelief but it was fun anyway.
sometimes it's hard to believe, but the Lord is listening...
I'm going out to my back yard tonight to see if he'll help me get close to the owl I keep hearing.
If you'll cue up and then play some owl calls on YouTube, you can sometimes get them to fly in closer. It's worked for me in the past.
Good luck.
not sure if serious. Serious? Because I know what kind of owl it is (Barred) from youtube videos of owl calls. Owls are awesome.
Yep. Dead serious. They come in to check the "other" owl who's calling. Just become super still when you are doing it or you'll spook them.
This is long - 40 minutes total if you don't fast forward. And I linked the YT rather than the X I originally saw it on as it seemed cleaner.
The story is that this young man got stopped because he had his high beams on (he forgot to lower them and was using them because he's got a bulb out on low beam). Point is, it wasn't bad driving performance or something indicating impairment. This is the body cam video of the stop, arrest, etc. And thank God for it. The young man was charged, exonerated and is now suing the officer and PD. I personally support the job that our law enforcement do and the service they provide to us, but this is a really good example of how personal perspective and assumptions can drive one's perceptions. This young man should never have been arrested or treated this way. Fortunately, the body cam shows what really happened rather than just the officer's version of events that his report would show and what he undoubtedly would testify to in court. I am not even saying that the officer is lying or exaggerating. He could honestly believe these things and still be wrong. We are all victims of our perception.
Late at night, 19 year old, can't find his paperwork in his nightmare of a glovebox and doesn't even know what he's looking for cause he's never been stopped in his life. Cop claims to smell alcohol on his breath, goes through all the field sobriety, then has him take a preliminary breath test (which comes back 0.00 like the kid had said it would) and it suddenly becomes drugs (what happened to that alcohol smell). At the station, another cop who is a drug recognition expert can find no evidence of drugs whatsoever. This is an example of a cop giving the other 99% a bad name and a good example of how we should all learn to know when to say that we were wrong initially. It's also a good example of a classic dui stop. Oh, everyone should get their own dashcams, lol.

A round of applause for that kid. We could all only hope to handle that situation as well as he did. This video should be used in all high schools as instruction on how exactly you handle a stop by police. That kid did everything right and will be rewarded in the end for staying cool, yet mostly respectful to a crooked law enforcement officer.
I wouldn't go that far, as to what the kid did or the LEO. But, I think it is incredibly illustrative of what our preconceptions do to us all. When the officer made the traffic stop, he already had it in his mind that the young man was drunk driving. Everything after that got interpreted to prove that narrative. And that applies across the board. We should not be so quick to draw conclusions, in any situation.
