"Darwin would have eaten it:\n\n> Darwin's ship, The Beagle, took more than 30 live tortoises with it as food for the voyage to Polynesia. On leaving, Darwin wrote in his diary: \"I should think it would be difficult to find ... a piece of land 75 miles long, so entirely useless to man or the larger animals.\" It wasn't until he was back in England that Darwin realised the true significance of the islands, each with their unique species of giant tortoise. Unfortunately, en route Darwin and the crew ate \"the most important specimens on board the Beagle\" - the tortoises - and so vital evolutionary evidence ended up in the cooking pot.

"I’ve lived in a small village for one year(one year left in service) and I had to explain to the my local friends in my village that our president’ comments don’t reflect all Americans’ views. Everyone I live with are the kindest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met and I was ashamed that someone would call this beautiful country such a derogatory term...",
"No",
"First of all, they aren’t strangers they are like family to me. Secondly, how would you answer a question about his comments to a student who lives in a third world country? All it does is damage the self esteem many of the students have about themselves and the country they live in. It’s not like statements like “shithole” help to improve the American image we already have here.",
"Looks like a friendly group of people.",
"He doesn't represent the country. Only entitled dbags with superiority complexes.",
"To foreigners he really does represent America though. I live in a very remote village, I’m the first American/white person to come here so the idea of an American to many comes from the news. Trump is the figurehead of my country to them and is plastered on the news here, so to them Trump is what an average American is like. I hope that my time here living with my friends can change their view for the better, but it’s difficult when the president tears down progress I’ve made in representing America.",
"They are form 3 students (the equivalent of 8th grade) who all finished school and many of them are going on to high school! I’m very proud of all of them and they show me the love back! ",
"What's the curriculum like?\n\n Anything local to their part of the world, which wouldn't be included in American classes?\n\n What are they dealing with in their daily lives that people over here would say \"that's just like me\"?",

"Haha I made sure to ask my students and their parents if I could put this online and they were okay with it! They know I love this country and would never call it that!",
"The curriculum is pretty similar to American classes, I think the biggest differences in classes would be religious and moral studies as well as a class about local languages.

"Be honest with them that there living environment is a \"shithole\" but that doesn't have to stop them from living fulfilling lives and making a better country for there kids to live in.

It access to these that make a place livable for a large number of humans in the same area, it was the limiting factor in what made the US go through the Industrial Revolution, taking the US into being a world leader.

Hell, my 8th graders were studying the physics lessons I'd studied in college honors courses. I just taught them conversational English and cultural lessons. On any technical subject, those kids had my American public university ass beat.\n\nYou want to get worried about foreigners coming over here and taking our jobs? Better damn well NOT invite Norwegians and their ilk. And beware, they could even bring their highly successful socialist inclinations with them and dump their proper healthcare, education, public transportation policies on us.\n\nI'll take your cash now.

Malaria (and hallucinations from the mefloquine), amoebic dysentery, food poisoning, black mambas, spitting cobras, poor hygiene and incredibly dangerous driving conditions (two of her close friends in the peace corps die horribly in a traffic accident) were just some of the things she had to deal with.

"You're right about that, but the reaction has been defending the countries themselves in broad terms.

I've spoken with multiple people who proclaim that there are no shithole countries... I mean come on. If you want people to come away from Trump's actual words with anything, it should be that just because you come from a terrible country doesn't mean you're a terrible person. In fact, people from the worst conditions can often be the most exemplary and decent.",

And the shit they believe, what a bunch of shithole living morons, right? And that’s not even mentioning their infrastructure, it’s in shambles from all that being shit on by imperialism, and they haven’t even had the decency to fix everything while being marginalized for hundreds of years! They need to pull themselves up by their boot straps if they want to succeed in this world! Maybe, MAYBE we should let them in after they fix things and acquire some kind of gilded hotel with a classy name. But for now, we just don’t need any more people from those shithole countries.\n\n/s in case it’s lost on you.\n",

It's just nice when our entire country doesn't look like ignorant, uncaring, assholes because of the jackass sitting in the oval office right now.

"Idk I feel like spending this much time on a comment like this is just unproductive for everybody. The left feels the need to preach anti racism and anti this and that at every turn. Yes- it's bad to be racist. But shoving the thought down people's throats is equal to what shoving religion down people's throats does, it repels them away. \n\nEdit: downvote me all you want but you can't build a political party on identity politics. The left is the weakest it has ever been (thanks to obama, that's what he left the Left as when he exited office) and they need to recreate themselves. They expected the WH, senate, house and got blindsided. There's no way that it can be said that the left doesn't have a problem that needs to be addressed. Yours dangerous for politics to become a tribalisc issue rather than voting with principals.\n\n\n\nIt's easier to look at the left vs right as globalism vs nationalism. The left is generally open boarders, anti racism and the right is generally stability and country/flag/USA. Each \"side\" tho it's a spectrum has extremist that the other side uses as anecdotal evidence in their arguments. It's petty. Tribalism may be the downfall of democracy because people now view their party as a religion. They vote blindly and not with their principals. \n\nTrump was elected because here was a group of people that felt unrepresented and talked down to. If you truly want change, that has to be addressed. ",

"RPCV here. During my service I determined that the main difference between the country I served in and the US is that we generally have a strong government that works for the people. This is why I always find it puzzling to hear conservatives spout off about patriotism and love of their country while simultaneously railing against the government. The US is a great country largely because of its government not in spite of it.\n\nIt builds roads, bridges, and all other types of infrastructure that make it possible for business and people to thrive. Not to mention law enforcement and regulation to keep the population safe and maintain an environment where people can have a baseline level of trust that makes it a place to do business. It also provides a social safety net for those that fall through the cracks.\n\nIf you want to live in a country with small government and not pay taxes, I highly recommend moving to one of these “shitholes.” You will likely have to make some sacrifices. For instance, there were no highways and travel from one end of a country about the size of Arizona to another required a full seven days of bumping along washed out, muddy roads. Electricity is not available except for larger towns and cities and you can’t drink the tap water, if you have tap water at all. Also, you should generally be careful wherever you go because muggings are a regular occurrence. The police likely won’t be much help either unless you bribe them. Then again, they might be the ones “mugging” you in the first place. Speaking of bribes, if you want to open a business be prepared to pay off the right government officials to get your registration in order or to get anything imported/exported since no watchdog exists with the power to crack down on corruption. \n\nOtherwise, recognize and appreciate that America is great because of its government. The government is our opportunity to create the kind of world we want to live in. To turn away from that opportunity and dismiss the construction of infrastructure, the enforcement of regulation and laws, as well as the provision of a baseline of various government services as “socialism” is precisely how you get a “shithole” country.",

"Nothing in my comment has to do with feminism. It has to do with not judging others.\n\nFeminism is actually about equality of the sexes so any anti-male or man-hating speech is counter to feminist theory.\n\nIt's true that some radicals try hijacking a movement to meet their own needs. While some women may claim feminism as an excuse stereotype men as barbaric Neanderthals, they are just trying to compensate their feelings of inferiority.\n\nIt's much better to take the course of civilized dialogue and sharing of information...Like this article that explains feminism theory.\n\nhttp://www.aissg.org/PDFs/Gender-Theory-Summary.pdf",

"Mountfield House Mansion was built in 1865 with a total of 13 bedrooms and 4 floors. The building was granted grade II listing status in 1981, meaning it is considered a particularly important building by the English National Heritage. Shortly before being made abandoned the property was converted into many apartments and an extension was built which has already fell into decay. Mountfield House was listed on RightMove as a 13 bedroom multistory detached house for just £95,000 (95k) but there was no buyer. The amount of decay meant that any buyer would have to demolish and start again. \n\nThe last known owner of the abandoned Mountfield House was Dr Annette Drummand Rees, who was a physiotherapist, who after being widowed in 1996 when her husband Henry died at the age of 82, began treating her patients in her home. Graduating from Guys hospital in 1953 with a doctoral degree in the NHS where she had worked for 35 years. I have not been able to find why this mansion was abandoned, or why the owner left in such a hurry. Maybe she ran into debt and had to run? Or maybe there were too many memories of her late Husband and the emotions ran too high? Maybe she could not spend another second surrounded by all the items they had collected over the years, as they were both hoarders buying anything on a good deal. The mansion was untouched but also filled with decay. I've never seen anywhere like this. What's really interesting is that we found genuine 1914 World War One Army Jackets and some very old oil paintings, countless grand pianos and a beautiful staircase. \nVideo on youtube Seany Explores",
"The jacket looks too modern. Pay attention to the jacket lining. I think it is from 60-70's",
"Someplace as damp as England, I'd expect the rot gets up on things pretty quick. Once the roof goes, and providing one can't afford to do something about it promptly, one might as well pack up the precious and leave the soggy rest behind. That's probably what happened."

But they're everywhere. You don't need to take no taxi, you don't even need a bike or anything. You literally just walk around the center, and all you see are very nice looking and historic building. **Photos just won't cut it because it's not a one particular building that you focus on, it's the combination of all of them within walking distance.** It's almost magical. Definitely much better than Paris, and much much better than Amsterdam in my opinion. I've been to Prague over 10 times at this point and I also enjoy my time there (and I am not there to drink or whatever)\n\n\nDefinitely go up to the castle area too, it's the largest castle in the world and it's definitely worth it. The clock is nothing in comparison, sure it's an engineering marvel with great history but you're not an engineer and the whole of Prague has great history. \n\nIt also seems like much safer place than anywhere in Europe right now. They are actually trying to prevent terrorist attacks. Last time I went they had airport-esque security check to enter the castle are a with the serious looking military personnel at the ready with rifles, eyeing everyone.

"Why did he go to a prison? Was that normal at the time? I can't see some famous musician these days deciding to do a concert and album from a prison",
"Well, I'd say it does. Because no one seems to know that Glen Sherley probably didn't actually write the song. \nHe did become a member of the Cash entourage after he was released from prison, supposedly as a song writer. Never wrote anything close to the quality of Greystone Chapel. He also married somebody else in the entourage and abused the shit out of Cash's kindness and general giving spirit. Eventually closer friends of cash had to get him to leave cash alone...\nSource is in the recent Johnny Cash Biography.\n",
"Sherley actually joined his band after jail, and tried to reform his life ( Johnny was a Christian and truly believed in redemption). However, he never quite took to life on the outside and committed suicide.",
"Grandma had all of his albums. Those were the first records I ever played, back in the late 60's. I still listen to him. ",
"I’ve got to get that album on vinyl. Cash was so great. More than a musician, a phenomenal person too. ",
"Personally, Cash has to be up there as possibly the best ever. An absolute icon in every way. ",
"Thanks. Apparently I'm not Mr. Brightside.",
"his big early hit was folsom prison blues about being stuck in prison. Although he never went to prison (at least not early in life) he got this reputation that he had been. His song is also pretty sympathetic to people in jail. So playing at Folsom Prison made sense ",
"Listen to this record (and San Quintin too) with earphones and you're there. In prison.",
"Thanks, that makes sense now",
"Cash was a person that cared about the prisoners and wanted to remind them that someone still cared about them. ",
"Yep. He also told members such as Marshall Grant (the bass player), he wanted to slit his throat, because that's the way he was. ",
"\"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.\" \n\nSuch a simple, perfect way to start a show. ",
"What the fuck happened to country music?",

"Red was here. ",
"Cash never served a prison sentence.",
"Drugs, man. ",
"Plus it was part of his shtick. ",
"Yeah, he only went to jail, IIRC.",
"You can listen to it, if you like. It has some funny moments in it. ",
"He also looked like a man twice his age thanks to all those pills he took almost daily for 12 years.",
"He spent a total of seven nights in jail. Combined, that is.",
"\"ENHANCE!\"",
":_(",
"''No laughing there in the song please, who li... it's being recorded, I know, hell, don't you know it's recorded?'' Makes me laugh every time. The song where this happens is Dark as a dungeon.",
"Exactly. I believe he also \"went to jail\" which was really a stunt organized by the record company. ",
"I also like the Blues Bands \"intro\" (made after the 3rd song or so) at Rockpalast:\n\n> This is The Blues Band. And this is the Blues. [Start Playing]\n\nSimple, short and somehow great (if you like Bluesrock, that is)",
"Plus, it was simply him being his badass self.",
"Wasn't he caught with heroin?",
"I could swear that it happens more than once, but that is a really funny part. \"Oh, he died? Ha ha!\"",
"If he's there real MVP then give him gold you scrub",

"He actually spent the night in a cell seven times during his life. ",
"He got caught with Ampthetamines that he bought in Mexico. ",
"Well considering the song Folsom Prison Blues was plagiarized from Crescent City Blues by Gordon Jenkins, it's only fair he recorded in prison. ",

"Country music is alive and well, its just not on the radio. Artists like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell and the Turnpike Troubadours among many others are killing it with their music, you just wont find it on Country Top 40. ",
"Check out Colter Wall\n\n[Kate McCannon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCebq5lLgos)",
"Ah, my apologies then",
"Johnny Cash was actually more about rock & roll than country, back in the day. He was part of Sun Records' \"Million-Dollar Quartet,\" with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. But, as a solo performer, his music trended more toward folk and country than the \"rockabilly\" sound of his peers. \n\nHis sound was always uncomplicated, his voice powerful, and his lyrics honest and true-to-life. An absolute genius, his music spoke to generations of fans of many genres.\n\nCountry music, in my opinion, never deserved him.",
"This was his 27th album. He had accomplished a lot for his age.",
"You know if you play a country song backwards they get their truck back, their girl back..................that's a shit joke, sorry. ",
"As long as you're Johnny Cash.",
"Grant's throat or his own?",
"He never stuck to any one genre either. His talent was so great he just made music, genres be damned. ",
"Both and then two others. Because that's the way a bass is.",
"Grant's.",
"I'll listen to them tonight. I'll keep the tab open so I won't forget, hhaha. Thanks! :)",
"He wound up in a cell with a big, bad looking guy once who didn't think he was Johnny Cash after he told Cash to sing and threatened him. That was probably a fond memory, haha.",
"Well now it is.",
"Well, at least Cash tried. You can't help them all.",
"Sadly you can't.",
"Most employers scorn ex-cons trying to turn their lives around, which of course leads to nothing good. Cash had a big heart for sure. ",
"He was very open minded. Almost a bit too much, some say.",
"It's easy to be taken advantage of when you believe in the inherent good in people and open up to them. "

Because even astronauts need to take breaks from their adventures to love their friends and family. \n\n\"Can't I tell my parents I love them with my helmet on?\" \n\n\"Maybe. But how will they know you love them if they can't see in your eyes that you mean it?\" \n\nOf course this isn't what Wonder was about, and it was still a very sweet movie. But I still want to see this one. I imagined it as a quirky indie movie, with a silly premise, that catches people by surprise with how charming it is. \n\nBrigsby Bear is one movie that comes to mind that perfectly captures that same idea of taking a silly premise seriously and making it with a surprising amount of charm.

He has an Instagram, and the kid looks like he enjoys taking the pictures.\n\nI think it's just a family thing they do. And him posting it online is for fun. He promotes a lot of charity and the hospital they take him to (I'm not sure what disability/ies the kid has, but it sounds like he goes to some therapy). \n\nSo it's less exploitative, in my opinion, and more just something a kid and his dad have fun doing.",

"i don't like this idea that \"it's automatically high class because i don't understand it\" - it encourages mindless pretentiousness, especially in modern art. anything no matter how bad is immediately good simply because the artist deliberately made it too obscure for anyone to understand, so no one will criticize it because they don't want to risk outing themselves as being a plebian or uncultured swine who clearly just \"doesn't get it\"\n\nluckily, i don't think this picture falls into that category\n\ni imagine, since the astronaut looks fairly young/small, the son in question is a toddler - and keep in mind almost *EVERYTHING* a toddler experiences, it experiences for the first time. what would your reaction be if you had never known aquariums existed? or if you had just discovered the space race after decades of being in the dark? or literally anything you take for granted now as commonplace would a once-in-a-lifetime, never-before-seen experience that would blow your mind. this is why kids have so much more imagination than adults, because they have so much inspiration and new ways of thinking from how they imagine the world works, compared to adults who are used to and accustomed to everything.\n\nfor a kid, something like this (the picture) is just on par with the average amount of crazy stuff they experience in a day.",

My goal is that these images will remind other moms or dads out there who may be losing their patience in line at the grocery store or coffee shop that our kids aren’t just acting like fools - they are exploring new frontiers. Our job as parents is to act as their mission control and co-pilot to make sure they can explore as much of their new world as possible.\n>\nHow Did It All Start? \n>\nI had the idea for \"Small Steps Are Giant Leaps\" while I was riding the bus with my three year old son. What was a normal, everyday event to me had him completely transfixed. Seeing that look of amazement on his face at something so commonplace really struck me. I realized that my son is an explorer, and the world I take for granted, to him, is an amazing place filled with new sites and experiences. I knew that I wanted to somehow document his journey of exploration but had no idea how I was going to do it. \n>\nLater that same week, he got an ear infection and needed to go to the doctor's office. Unlike most three-year-olds, my son loves the doctor's office - every part that is except for the exam table. My son had two fears: hand dryers and exam tables, and I was continually trying to find ways to help him face and overcome his fears.\n>\nAs we sat waiting for the doctor, I asked my son if he would sit on the exam table. Of course his answer was no. So then I asked him what type of people were brave enough to sit on exam tables. We discussed the usual cast of brave people: police officers, firefighters, etc. He said \"What about astronauts, Dad. Are they brave enough? I said \"Sure they are. After all, they sit on top of rockets and get blasted into space and, before they do that, they have to go to the doctor's office A LOT!\". We pretended that he was an astronaut, and he sat on the exam table with no problem. When his exam was over, I told my son how proud I was of him for being brave like an astronaut. He said to me \"Next time I get sick, I can wear my astronaut helmet here and you can take a picture of me, right dad?\". At that moment, the final piece of the project came into place, all thanks to my amazing little astronaut.\n>\nOne spacesuit, two helmets, and more than 40 photoshoots later, I am so proud of my little astronaut. He really enjoyed working with me on the project, and we’ve used it to help him get over his fear of hand-dryers, exam tables, and hair clippers. We have shot everywhere from the museum to the city pool. We have had great local companies allow us access to movie theaters, old-school barber shops, $600 a night hotel rooms, and, back where it all began, the city bus.\n\n",

"I gotta say, as wonderful as I find this picture, and I really really like it, it reminds me of my dad and Christopher Robin.\n\nMy dad is a military guy who wrote novels as a hobby. I never really got to see him growing up and when I did, he was kinda just *there* or was the one disciplining us. He wrote a lot in his spare time and he wrote stories about us. Fantasy stories about goblins and bat monsters and all sorts of stuff. Picture Goonies but if Tom Burton directed it.\n\nAnyways, he wrote them mostly when I was 5-12 and by the time he was done I tried I read them and they were a mess from a structural stand point, but the part that bothered me the most was my character, who had my name. He was nothing like me. He was a joke. He was cracking one liners and doing stupid crazy things. Things I'd never do. It really bothered me and I stopped reading them. It was like having someone tell you about things you did and you kept having to say \"'no that wasn't me that was someone else.\"\n\nHe never took off but sold a couple. But, like Christopher Robin in real life, he resented his father's stories too, and sadly I could relate to him. He felt his dad exploited his childhood and was known for being a childhood icon for so many characters when it wasn't really him. He felt bitterness about his situation. I don't know the story behind these pictures or what any of it's like, but it does remind me of my dad. \n\nI think it's important to note that if the characters weren't literally supposed to be me, then I wouldn't have been that upset. But it was a reflection that my dad didn't really know anything about me, and didn't spend that much time with me. \n\nI hope the kid really does like being in an astronaut costume and being photographed. He looks awfully lonely in that photo to me.\n\nBut then again that might just be me projecting. He might have a blast and really like being involved in his dad's work.",

"Yes, they're branding him and using him to make money. On that I agree, and also agree that it's off putting. What I'm not ready to do is assume they're harming the child doing this, or that the child doesn't enjoy the suit.\n\nMy son actually chose to be an astronaut for Halloween when he was 1.5 and again at 3.5. At 3.5 he definitely understood what they were, while at 1.5 he just liked the costume. At 2 he wore a Darth Vader mask and cape everywhere we went for a week. (Which I allowed because a happy two year old in a Darth Vader costume is better than a cranky one. :D I do have a \"no weapons in the car\" rule, however.) So yeah, I do think it's possible this kid picked the costume at 2, though probably didn't choose to wear it for this long without some prodding. The prodding itself doesn't necessarily have to be directly abusive or mean, though. It's easy to positively encourage a child to want one thing over another. It's something parents do all day every day. \n\nWe could certainly argue that the outcome of the prodding is malicious though, and I don't completely disagree. I don't mean to imply I don't find this whole thing more than a little weird, mostly the monetizing aspects. I just don't want to condemn a family for abusing their kid without more info than we have.",

The gorilla is their most popular attraction by far, and they cannot afford to go a day without it. So the zoo owner asks one of his workers to wear a gorilla suit they have in storage. For an extra $100 a day he will go in the gorilla cage and pretend to be the gorilla until the zoo can afford a new one.\n\nQuickly, the new \"gorilla\" becomes the most popular craze at the zoo. People from all over are coming to see the \"Human-like\" gorilla. About a month in, the craze has started to wear off. So, to get peoples attention back, he decides to climb over his enclosure and hang from the net ceiling above the lions den next to him. A large crowd of people gather watching the spectacle in awe and terror. Suddenly the man loses his grip and falls to the floor of the lions den. The man starts screaming \"HELP!! HELP!!!\" Suddenly a lion pounces him from behind and whispers in his ear, \"Shut the fuck up or you're going to get us both fired.\"\n\n",

I posted the link to my site because people asked for more info. I’m just a stay at home dad who found a fun way for my son and I to document our time together. I use a dark tinted visor to protect his privacy. I don’t sell ANY image in which he is identifiable. If he doesn’t want to go to a specific place, we don’t go.

"I had a similar idea for a short story. A little girl meets a little boy while playing in her backyard one day. While a little skittish at first, the boy eventually introduces himself as Peter Pan. Having heard the story/read the book/seen the movie/whatever, the girl is obviously intrigued, and the two go on adventures and have lots of fun. She meets the “lost boys,” which, she realizes, remind her vaguely of some boys in her school, but it’s hard to tell under all the face paint/camouflage. Also during their adventures, the two meet a man they call “Captain Hook” (who mentions to the girl that Peter Pan needed an adversary, so he filled the role). Overall, very light-hearted and fun, but the story never makes clear whether he’s really the mystical Peter Pan or just a runaway boy with an overactive imagination. That’s up for the reader to decide.\n\nIt ends in a flash-forward, a few years later, when she’s grown up a bit, and she sees him in the bushes near her school, “almost unchanged.” They wave to each other, then a friend calls to her, and she turns briefly, and when she turns back, “he had disappeared.”\n\nI haven’t finished it yet, though.",

"Well you could level that same argument in favor of sex with minors, or relaxing child labor laws... but you wouldn't.

It would appear is was pieced together from three different shots. Yes, a long exposure was used for each shot, but they were taken at different times. \n",
"It's a long exposure, the lights weren't on at the same time but were on at some point during the exposure time.",
"Think of it this way.\n\nTaking a normal picture is like having your eyes closed and then you open them for a split second and close them again. Everything that was visible in that time is the picture.\n\nLong exposure means you open your eyes, leave them open for a while and then close them. Everything you saw gets condensed into one picture.\n\nSo in this case, the streetlights have switched between each other, but due to the long exposure, it seems like all of them are on.\n\nYou see this effect a lot with sparklers. When you see pictures of people who wrote their name with sparklers.\n\nIt's also used a lot in pictures of space because you're essentially letting in more information and more light into the camera.",

"My story five years ago:\n\n>Hello, my name is Adam Crawford.\n\n\nIn 2007 I was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer known as a Ewing's Sarcoma. It was found in my pelvis about the size of an orange pushing against the lower portion of my spine.\n\nThis was half way through my senior year of highschool. I believe the way we were able to find it was, a game friends and I (dumb ass kids) would play called \"Corn dogging\" which involved unsuspectingly kneeing a friend in the ass. One day I was \"corndogged by a friend of mine and for the next two months I was having excruciating pain in my right leg from my buttocks down.\n\nI was unable to sit through class, the pain was constant when pressure was applied within the area. I was taken to my standard doctors office where I had gone since I was a young kid and was told I was more than likely in pain from a pinched nerve. \nThat's where trouble began...\n\nAfter being prescribed a plethora of pain killers (from Ibuprofen to Oxycontin) to no avail, I was told by my doctor that he'd want me to get some mri/xrays. Insurance wouldn't allow it without a year of physical therapy... Or so we thought. My mother and father as well as my doctor in Los Banos, somehow were able to get me the scans (more than likely out of pocket but being a 17 year old and not caring to understand how insurance worked at the time I still to this day have no idea how they did it)\n\nThey found a grape sized tumor not long after that. I was out with friends when I received a call from my mother that seemed urgent and was told to, \"Come home now!\" Where I was greeted by my mother and father in tears. Telling me I had a tumor.\n17 years old, in a town I had grown up in half way through my senior year. I had a tumor. \n\nIt's weird, but I find that for some reason you really DO know what the condition of your body pre-diagnoses. I don't know how, or why but I instantly KNEW it was malignant before even a biopsy.\n\nI was then taken to UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, CA to meet with a surgeon. After speaking with him, I was SCARED shitless! He wanted to cut open my lower abdomen one day, take out half the tumor. Then the next day cut open my lower back the next and remove the remainder. With all smiles he told me this. He said there is a chance I would never walk again.. with a smile... to a seventeen year old.\n\nAfter this we met with Dr. Robert Goldsby, the pediatric Oncologist at UCSF. His plan, though terrifying sounded much better to me. A year of Chemotherapy and Radiation and he believed the tumor would be gone.\n\nSo began my journey. It was tough roads ahead, physically and psychologically. Though my way of beating it, was to block out the idea of dying. I never once thought I would die. I lived my life (with a little more restriction when my white blood cells were low) as if I was any other 17 year old teenager. Partying and the like.\n\n\nAfter completing my rounds of Chemotherapy my tumor has, for the past five years been just a lump on dead skin in my pelvis. I am currently moving to Mountain View, CA to continue my schooling with my beautiful girlfriend, and life couldn't be much better.\n\nThe only sad thing is, is that I will be leaving my parents, they were there for me through the whole thing.. The day before my first set of post chemotherapy scans, my mother had a stroke while riding her Harley and went in to a coma for months after that. She has since recovered a little from her Coma, though she lost use of the left half of her body, is in constant pain with some short term memory loss.\n\nOn this amazing day, I can't help but wish my mother was still here for me. I love her with all my heart.\n\n",
"Corndogging saved your fucking life. Glad for you op!",
"It most definitely did! Thanks for your message!",
"Glad you beat cancer, bub. Why all the tattoos and the ear mangling though?",
"Dated a tattoo artist around that time. As far as the ears, I just always liked the look. I'm sure to be honest it has to do with a lack of attention as a child and a latent desire for more.\n\nThanks for your well wishes!",
"Fuck yes, completely clear and completely free, way to go dude! I'm 8 years this year!",
"UCSF is the best. My GF recently finished 2 years of treatment there for Melanoma. Congrats on getting through this and good luck to you in the future!",

Don't like it? Fine, get a real job and shut the fuck up.\n\nThere's a reason farmers have scrawny-ass legs, no butt, and a big ol' beer belly, and it's not because they're out there digging postholes for 400 hours a month.\n\n-I grew up on a farm - hauling rocks, bucking hay bales, digging postholes, and driving tractors in circles for hundreds of hours.",

The feds thought that the farmers didn't grow enough corn and they wanted it at a lower price, but they knew that farmer's didn't want a surplus because then the quantity of corn produced would be greater than the quantity demanded and farmers would have to lower prices and thus lose money to sell it all. So to keep prices low, the feds give farmers the money to pay for the excess and to keep prices low to cover losses essentially",

"Its actually an interesting, messed up bunch of laws.

Its not like there's some guy who bought a farm and just leaves it barren like buying a house to rent it.",
"OK, lets take it point by point:\n\n1) Losing money. No he's not. At least not in the sense that the phrase is expected to be perceived in. Just like any other industry, a farmer might have good years and bad years depending on a multitude of factors that are inherent to your industry and decisions made by the farmer. These include, but are not limited to; local weather conditions, weather conditions in other parts of the world, quality of the seed, general economic conditions locally/nationally/in other parts of the world, decisions made by the farmer as to what srops to grow in what amounts, etc., etc., etc. If a farmer is actually and consistently losing money, he's probably just not a very good business owner. \n\n2) Working 400 hours. Yes, its part of farming. Always has been, always will be. Its not a store that you can lock up for the night. Farming is a 24/7 job where even if its your birthday, on Sunday, its raining and you have a man-flu you still have to get out and feed the cows. That's how it works. \n\n3) To feed people. No, to sell his product and make a profit. If feeding people were his primary concern, he would raise only high yield, high nutrition value crops and ship them to countries where people are actually starving. Barring that, he's a businessman trying to make a profit, so this \"feeding people\" argument is purely an appeal to emotions. Please stop. \n\n4) Who think. Well, given some of the things that we've been discovering about farming practices that were considered to have been perfectly normal even decades ago, like DDT, etc., in certain senses and cases they know, as opposed to think. \n\n5) You. That really depends on who \"you\" are and what \"your\" farming practices are, doesnt it? If he has made the decision to eschew the very common and widely questioned methods of achieving high yield at the expense of providing a more natural and wholesome product, then he can reap the rewards of selling organic products at a premium. If, however, he has consciously decided to use GMO seed, questionable pesticides, growth hormones and selective breeding practices, then maybe \"you\" is right. \n\nAnother factor to consider is the size of Mr. Farmer's business. It is an absolute fact that most food in the US is produced by agricultural conglomerates who operate absolutely immense farming complexes with thousands of acres of farmland and/or thousands of heads of livestock. Is Mr. Farmer a part of such a conglomerate? If so, then yes, the \"you\" is pointed directly at him. If not, then he is not trying hard enough to disassociate himself from that group. \n\n6) Are trying. Hardly anyone will accuse him of personally attempting to put anyone's life at risk. However, if his business decisions, as stated above, coincide with factors that are viewed to be harmful to the health of consumers of his product then he can hardly argue that he's completely blameless. \n\n7) Kill them. There are many factors which can contribute to general health. The quality of food is definitely among them. From an academic standpoint the jury is still very much out on whether things like GMO, growth hormones, etc. are harmful or not. However, based on past events (personal opinion warning!) it would not surprise me in the least if several decades hence it became commonly accepted that they are undoubtedly harmful. And if that were the case, how will Mr. Farmer feel then? Was he trying? Probably not. Was he killing, or at least heavily contributing to it? Umm...yah. \n\nConclusion: The message conveyed in this picture is a litany of logical fallacies compounded by misdirection, slathered with a heavy coating of emotional appeal. In other words it's propaganda (in the dictionary meaning of the word, which is not an insult but a description of a practice). Take it for what it is. \n\n",

For example, workers who have worked for the same employer for multiple years earn more than other workers. Those who have been with an employer for a year or less earn an average of $6.76 per hour, and those who have been with the same employer for at least 6 years earn an average of $8.05 per hour.\n\n>Annually, the average income of crop workers is between $10,000 to $12,499 for individuals and $15,000 to $17,499 for a family. To give you an idea, the federal poverty line is $10,830 for an individual or $22,050 for a family of four (in 2009).\n\n>Thus, according to NAWS, 30% of all farm workers had total family incomes below the poverty line.\n\nIf you have ever seen farm work, you know this kind of labor warrants more than $7.25/hr. Brown skin or otherwise.\n\n\nBut, that's why you can go buy a head of lettuce for $1.",

"Yes, I don’t raise animals but for me it’s sun up until dark unless we are planting or harvesting. Then you may go as long as the weather may permit, you can plant all night with ease in good weather but harvesting is difficult because the moisture will set on the crop making the stem/hulls green up (get hard) so you do what you can. That can mean long seasons when you are faced with the weather, equipment breakdowns, and any other problem in the world that you have to fix on your own. The average farmer is now 65 years here in the United States and those men and women have put in more work, seen more hard times, and came out of those hard times more than most others. They deserve nothing but respect, just like our soldiers. "

"Ok. Makes so much sense now.",
"When you see it...",
"Holy shit I almost missed that...",
"Are we looking at the extremely vague downvote shape?",
"No...",
"So Favela translates to flower in english......",
"This would make a really good 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. ",
"I agree",
"Oh, so it's the giant dick then. Thanks.",
"Kinda looks like a shithole...",
"It must be a hard job being a mailman there. ",
"I lived in Brazil for a while, specifically Rio. Flower in Portuguese is \"flor,\" but the favela is indeed a type of plant with a little flowering bud and it grows very quickly. The reasoning for giving the name favela to these homes that I was told is that you usually you find them on hills and mountains, and they often spring up out of nowhere and in great numbers. Thus mirrors the favela perfectly. This photo shows the accuracy of the nickname, at least in part.\n\nNowadays these homes grow upwards rather than multiplying, as space between these \"houses\" tends to be limited. There are people living in 3, 4 story homes crafted without support beams, made out of cheap bricks of clay (google 'tijolo' and look at the holes in the bricks).\n\nDespite its namesake, it's not a pretty place to live.",
"Not sure why you were downvoted. Anyone who lives there or has lived there would agree with you.",
"Rio is one of the few cities on earth where the wealthy live on the low ground and the poor in the hills. \n\nThey're in a good position when the global revolution comes. ",
">The term favela dates back to the late 1800s.[3] At the time, soldiers were brought from the conflict against the settlers of Canudos, in the Eastern province of Bahia, to Rio de Janeiro and left with no place to live.[4] When they served the army in Bahia, those soldiers had been familiar with Canudos's Favela Hill – a name referring to favela, a skin-irritating tree in the spurge family (Cnidoscolus quercifolius) indigenous to Bahia.[5] When they settled in the Providência [Providence] hill in Rio de Janeiro, they nicknamed the place Favela hill from their common reference, thereby calling a slum a favela for the first time.[6]\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favela#History\n\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Canudos\n\n",
"No thank you ",
"Haha, you must be used to US mail being delivered to every address in the USA. These favelas do not have addresses in many instances. or streets.",
"The poor have the best views in Rio, ironically.",
"So living specifically in Rio, perhaps you might be able to tell us about the street crime/law enforcement situation. Here in Murica there's a popular sentiment about \"taking the handcuffs off the police\". Many folks up this way are sure the \"ever escalating crime levels\" can only be brought under control by suspending the constitution or re-writing it to their own specifications a they please. Last I heard the main controversy in this regard being whether the police should be allowed to go up into these areas and shoot anyone they pleased with complete impunity. One case being the cop who did this, tossed the warm body on the hood of his squad care and got on the horn and drove around demanding a ransome for the body. Also do they still grab homeless people off the street for the purposes of training new recruits in the best interrogation methods, ie, where to attach the electrodes the elctrodes and so forth. Was also told that virtually all the wealthy think and behave like American gangsters.\nThanks for the feedback.",
"I was born and raised in north Texas, so I might be the wrong person to ask... But I'll try. \n\nTo make things simple, it's complicated. The thing about the police in Rio is that they're incredibly trigger happy in favelas, but that's partially because they're not welcomed and make easy targets. However there have been multiple cases of police going into favelas at night, well armed, and murdering just about anyone they see with impunity. Sometimes this happens outside of the favelas, too. If you aren't already aware, look up the Candelária Massacre. A petty group of police officers murdered and wounded homeless children.\n\nLife inside certain favelas carries a different type of law enforcement. Gangs, eager to outdo each other, will often commit horrible crimes to other communities but protect their own community for a myriad of self-apparent reasons. If you break a rule in the community, say you broke into your neighbor's house and got caught... your punishment will be severe. I once saw a man tied to a pole who had been beaten half to death and stripped naked in front of his home being guarded by men with machine guns. Imagine that in Denver or something- a man naked and bleeding tied to a streetlight surrounded by laughing thugs. It's like a movie to the majority of the first world, but to developing Brazil it is a part of life in a staggering amount of communities.\n\nBefore I last came back stateside, my friends were discussing how the military police were coming in greater number *and how much they support that.* They believe that temporary martial law is the only way that they will be able to progress, and everyone I asked seemed to agree with that sentiment... and the less well to do people seemed even more adamant.\n\nBasically, from my understanding of the general sentiment, they actually want more policing but from the most extreme policing force available, a living relic of the bygone dictatorship... But again, it's complicated. This was hot on the heels of the police strike in Espírito Santo which caused a Mad Max style free for all leaving an estimated 150 dead. People really saw the need for police, and they know that Rio is even more violent. To an extent it's only logical to want to \"take the handcuffs of their police,\" to borrow the phrase. \n\nAs for the torture, I've only heard rumors. Never read anything concrete... Private companies based in America use homeless people as lab rats, so I wouldn't be surprised honestly.\n\nIn regards to the rich people, they strike me more as the stereotypical early 1900's rich person reading ticker tape and completely unaware of the actual socioeconomic status of the world around them.\n\nI hope I explained things well.",
"Thanks for the excellent detailed reply, so they are able to keep it out of the view of the tourists, have you seen \"The City of God\" and how realistic do you think it was?",
"Swear I can see a kid with his arms out?",
"I was just joshing, but now that you mention it, I see that too. Thanks."
