Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can't go alone. You'll get raped.
Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you'll get raped.
Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.
Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.
Women: Okay, I'll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don't take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.
Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.
Of course this isn't the point, but I do find it baffling that he dropped hints of the impending murder during the stream, like it was a game he was making for people to solve. A truly disturbed man who got what he deserved.
The US spent millions every year tracking and releasing sterile screwworm flies to keep the population controlled and prevent it spreading north of Central America, then Donald Trump and Elon Musk paid those people to resign under the DOGE efforts.
They did this.

never forget how the US used agent orange during the Vietnam War: sprayed on civillians, contaminating land, damaging ecosystems, and generations later kids are still born with disabilities linked to dioxin exposure. The US never issued a formal apology and paid compensation
@drdoomarchive Well, I would prefer them to work with some of the actors who carried that saga post Endgame, had great projects and were accepted well. RDJ saviour is beginning to be a bit annoying and this sounds like "they were all crap and did bad job" which is not true.
The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.
As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.
Texan here
A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!
Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.
Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.
This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.
How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.
Sorry for my far left opinion, but every job should pay a living wage that allows people to actually live. If someone works at KFC, they should be able to pay their bills, meet their basic needs, and still save money, because that is what work is for.
the second a celebrity says “ai isn’t going anywhere so i will start using it and ethic” blah blah blah bullshit, i immediately know they were 100% paid by a generative ai company. we don’t have to fold to ai being here forever. lol.
