What do the tags say? That's the interesting part, whether they doxxed all these people or not. I suspect they didn't.

How and why did you get banned? by realitista in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

I got blocked from the subreddit I created because I made it private due to the API debacle and refused to make it public until they undid the decision.

I was afraid that's what it was but had higher hopes for the world.

I think it more comes down to the fact that if you live in a rural area, you have to have a very independent and individualistic mindset because you are so far away from things that you have to do most things yourself. This leads to a less collectivist mindset. Your main hub of society tends to be the nearest church, which is where you see the other people living nearby. Or maybe the bass pro shop or waffle house if you are near enough to one of those.

When you live in a city, you are about as deep in society as you can get, and you can quickly understand why we need to help each other because you see the results of not doing that all around you (mental illness, drug addicition, homelessness, etc.).

It's not that one is right and the other wrong, it's that they are life viewed from fundamentally different perspectives and needs.

‘If I Live to 25, I’ve Lived a Good Life’ - A look at cancer in private wildfire firefighters (www.nytimes.com)

As the doctors ran tests, Joel grew sicker. Within days, he was too exhausted to walk. On the eve of his 25th birthday, he received a diagnosis: acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive, often fatal blood cancer that usually strikes people more than twice his age. Joel told the doctors he was not a regular smoker and had no family history of blood cancers. But he did have one risk factor: his job.

For decades, wildfire fighters have been sent to work in toxic smoke without masks or warnings about long-term health risks, The New York Times has reported. They inhale poisons that are linked to more than a dozen kinds of cancer, including leukemia. Many are falling gravely ill, and some are dying at young ages.

But when these firefighters get sick, they don’t all receive the same help.

About two-thirds of the country’s 40,000 wildland firefighters work for state and federal agencies. By law, many of their cancers are assumed to be job-related, and their workers’ compensation benefits are automatically approved.

The other firefighters — about 14,000 — are like Joel. They work for private companies that the government hires to shore up its ranks against a growing wildfire threat. Reliance on these contract crews has more than doubled since 2019, as climate change drives more extreme fire seasons. They have fought alongside federal workers in every major fire of the last decade.

US panel releases over 33,000 pages of Epstein files by realitista in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There are more than 300 gigabytes of Epstein files confirmed by the DOJ. If we are generous and say all these 33,000 pages are stored as images rather than text, they probably aren't more than 25gb. And 97% of them were already public.

Ukraine's Minister of Defense, Denys Shmyhal, called the weapon very powerful. He promised to reveal more details when a key moment arrives.

Key moment being the destruction of all Russian oil refineries west of Novosibirsk?

Well technically it's a jet engine strapped to a rocket powered missile. Rocket for take off and jet for cruising.
