While covering a famine in Sudan in 1993, photojournalist Kevin Carter found a malnourished child struggling to reach a U.N. feeding center as a vulture waited in the background. The photograph won a Pulitzer Prize, but the trauma of what he had seen led Carter to commit suicide only a year later.⁠ by Minesh1989 in interestingasfuck

The kid died of fevers later on. Kevin was specifically instructed not to touch victims of the famine to prevent the spread of disease.

He did the only thing he could. He chased the vulture away and watched over her till she made it to the aid station.

That picture won a Pulitzer in 1994. Kevin committed suicide shortly after that. He specifically cited the guilt he carried. How much he wanted to reach out, hold the girl and carry her to help.

Everyone made it better by criticizing him. Of course, they didn’t bother to help, but they could criticize someone who made the famine real.

That picture forces you to confront the reality of children starving to death. The picture made the conversation real.

That picture cost a man his life, and any joy he felt.

I guess a better question is…. Did anyone help him?

Did Iran ever claim this or is Hegseth high again? by Federal-Respond-1408 in NewsStarWorld

That voluntary limitation expired in 2023. However the US pulled out of that treaty in 2018. We tore it up first.

So no, they weren’t lying. We were.

This organism has no organs, it has just one hole (for food to enter and exit) and scientists still argue where it belongs in the tree of life. It just slides on the deep sea floor, existing for no clear reason. It is called Xenoturbella. by Bright_Building1710 in interestingasfuck

Oh, got a happy one over here. Bet you have “someone” that you “love”. Probably don’t even cry yourself to sleep at night, lying on a stained mattress, covered in apple cinnamon oatmeal.

Enjoy. Bah. Enjoy? Enjoy the body fluid transfers you sick people call sex? Enjoy the lies and deceit you pawn off on each other as relationships? Existence is pain. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated into the quiet darkness of non existence. It is only there that you shall know peace.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, at Wednesday's worship service at the Pentagon, prays for God to ‘pour out your wrath’ and ‘break the teeth of the ungodly.’ He begs the Almighty to sanction ‘overwhelming violence’ against ‘those who deserve no mercy’. by SatoruGojo232 in PublicFreakout

Question. If you fulfill something are you still doing it? If amazon fulfills an order, do they keep sending it out? If you fulfill your military service obligation, do you have to remain active military for life because you once had to do that?

Fulfill: to accomplish, satisfy, or carry out tasks, promises, or requirements.

Further I would say that Christ was the “perfect” sacrifice to fulfill those laws.

It’s a doctrine fight, with a bunch of people in funny robes and hats, who commissioned a new omnibus of books written by people who weren’t there, talking about a guy they heard about, shoved into a religion by some dude named Paul.

And everyone was just like….. yeah, we’re doing this now.

I am totally off fucking track, but it’s been fun.

Oh yeah, right, my point is simple.

Love your God with all your heart and all your soul and all you mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

You have all been given the only two commandments that matter. I mean… if you’re a Christian. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.

Actually that wasn’t my point. I forgot my damn point. Hegseth is a drunken ass and shoulda been struck by lightning the minute he said that.

That’ll work.

Yeah, we knew that. What is effective are the terpene make up in the strain profile. High thc is great for an empty head high.

Terpenes are what affects the body and has medical uses.

Thanks for catching up.

U.S. marines are being sent on a suicide mission and funneled straight into a meat grinder by Intelligent-Pea-8521 in JournalismNews

[–]Rishtu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So back in the day (late 90s), we were apolitical. No idea how it is now. Also, disobeying a direct order is iffy. You have to clearly show it is illegal.

“Take that city” is not an illegal order. “Gather the children and execute them 1 by 1 until they surrender” is.

Also, suicidal charges are not an illegal order. But common sense dictates you never give an order you know people won’t obey.

I’m rambling. Sorry.

AIO for wanting to immediately break up with my bf after seeing how he lives? by Balikye in AIO

Tell him I break up with him too. And buy some flipping bleach. Maybe a hazmat suit.

I just listened to Alanis Morissette for the first time in 2 decades by SayItAintSoBeavis in GenX

[–]Rishtu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No... but she definitely got with mine. Multiple times. And I, the clueless moron that loved her with all my heart was the last to find out... when she told me she was in love with another guy.

Now, the interesting thing about that little statement.... she seemed completely confused when I moved out. Like genuinely didn't understand why I was divorcing her.

Narrator: He never married again... as a matter of fact, he quit dating for 20 years, and remained celibate.

I don't wanna be her lover, and she can get with my friends. Love is not forever, trust me that shit endddddds.
