Deathwheel chat: actually, you probably could make a toothed wheel on a grinder safe - thousands of people use circular saws every day without dying, and a sawblade on a grinder isn't that much different. The difference being, of course, a proper retractable guard and goddamned sidehandle. Jfc every time I see some idiot swinging a goddamned grinder without a loving sidehandle I want to kick him in the elbow and let the medical bills teach him an important lesson in workplace safety.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Or in otherwords, FEAR. American workers had it way worse in the not so distant past. The lack of protection and fear doesn't really explain the eagerness to suck company dick even if it means you might die. I guess the end stage capitalism Stock Holm syndrome kind of explains it. I also think Americans are generally very conservative, and part of that is this weird sense of loyalty. "The company will treat me better if I show my loyalty and use this death trap. Work hard and I will move up!" while the company can fire you for now reason and obviously gives no fucks about you if they are trying to kill you at work. And then when they gently caress you over, you just rationalize that you have to work harder and show more loyalty. I don't have any good OSHA content. I work at a desk. The desk doesn't even have sharp corners.

it's a perfect image to tilt, really. there's nothing that gives you a good sense of orientation, like a horizon line, body of water, human-made structure, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean, it looks normal to me. Look at how the shadows fall, also the little plant above the excavator.

Look at the loose stones in the foreground. There’s no way that the original image isn’t misleadingly rotated.

You should also consider that if it was really perched like that, an even wider shot of it would even more impressive. Weird crops for no reason should be a red flag for fuckery.

So is that supposed to be a mountain side in the background? The power lines or whatever don't really make sense in the tilted one if that's the case

Power lines sag in the middle and that’s completely normal.
