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

        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.

          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.

    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.

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

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

            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.

        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.

      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

      Pretty sure the body still has to be alive for most organ donation… but maybe I’m wrong when it comes to eyes…

      But it sounds sketchy as fuck.

        I know you are getting briggaded, but I also know for a fact you are at least partially right.

        My partner has a surgery dependent on a “very recent” donor being the requirement, not alive but like, about as close as you can get. It wasn’t looking, good and I was considering taking out ads targeting 18-24 year old about how cool it is to ride motorcycles without helmets, but then we got lucky, so no need.

          Recency is a big thing. When my mom died, they put like a cooling pack on her eyes to help preserve them in the like hour or two they needed to determine if she could donate them.

    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!

    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
