Amazing how headlines will say LUIGI THE KILLER, but when it's about a white, Christian, domestic terrorist carrying out political assassinations, he's just a SUSPECTED SHOOTER.

🤷‍♂️

i want to ask that guy why he likes trump because the conservative project appears to have led to nothing but ruin for him and his close friend

I love how everyone talks about how nice this guy was. He goes to Africa a bunch, huh? I bet this guy was one of those death-to-the-gays type preachers who go to African countries to preach psychopathy. He's nice to everyone he likes, and wouldn't hesitate to kill someone he doesn't.

Super nice guy!

Remember it's a mental health crisis when it's a white shooter and a culture problem when it's a colored shooter.

And terrorism if muslim

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 116 points 2 days ago (6 children)

taking a job extracting eyeballs from cadavers to be used in organ donation.

And I thought my job sucks at times. Sounds like a walk in the park compared to "eyeball remover". Yeesh.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (4 children)

How on Earth do you get that job? Like can I apply? I'm fascinated by the idea that a profession.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 hours ago

There are what we call OPOs, or organ procurement organizations. There are like 50, at least int he US. If you are in the US, and have certified skills that could help these, often you will receive scouting materials, you can also contact UNOS for information about ones local to you.

A friend did it for a while, he runs a laser in surgery now and is much happier. He started as a mortician.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do you know what his job title is?

[–] HaveMeOnYourPodcast@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

He's a surgical laser technician now, he works for one company and gets lent out to hospitals to assist. No idea what company he works for specifically, he lives on the opposite coast and their medical networks are completely different from the ones here. The company I know by name for similar gigs is Agiliti.

Now for gathering eyes from cadavers the positions you're looking for are in "organ procurement."

In another life I worked for a nuclear pharmacy and met a lot of the other medical but not medical folks over the years.

You can freelance with an ice cream scoop pretty easy.

[–] The_Jit@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Apply for it like any other job. It helps to live near an Eye Bank or organ donation center. Job posting from the Eye Bank Association of America (other countries and companies abroad are party of the EBAA not just for those in the USA): https://ebaa.users.membersuite.com/community/career-center/gateway

I had a buddy just out of college who had a job like this. He said the job was shit because he spent most of his time driving between different sites to extract and deliver organs. He never said much about dealing with the recently deceased, that part didn't seem to bother him much, but traffic would set the dude off.

It's telling that even his dream job (security contractor in DRC) is very corpse-adjacent.

Doesn’t sound too bad, you just need a spoon and a little effort and you too can become an eyeball remover

[–] TaterTurnipTulip@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Chilis, sand, bleach, a spoon

Sorry for the poor life choices Vance, but this immediately came into my head... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVyS9JwtFoQ

Why is gaben crying in the thumbnail?

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because he had a friend who he loved who started making questionable choices and is now wanted for murder. I would cry too.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I saw this guy on TV, and he was truly perplexed at hearing about his friend's actions, and eventually just broke down. I felt bad for him.

The MAGA Nazi leaders are pure evil, but many of their followers aren't inherently bad, they've just been manipulated by the Conservative Propaganda Machine to think they are saving their country. This guy seemed to suddenly come to that realization.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago

And this guy will still vote straight R for the rest of his life.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago

Even with consuming mostly left-leaning media I keep seeing right-wing content hitting my feeds CONSTANTLY. It's so insane that one video has "Destroyed X with this debate" while the next is "X Won debate against crazy rhetoric". I'm not even singling out right wing with this either, everyone is just horrible with the click bait titles and I can see how powerful the bubbles are to expand yourself out of even if you have a desire too.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

Because he just found out his friend is a murderer?

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

He just saw the numbers for the Switch 2

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)
