!nooticers 6 million
GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday.
Although a waiver was placed on HIV/AIDS programmes in last month's U.S. foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes, the deputy executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva.
"There is a lot of confusion especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We're seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services", Christine Stegling said.
Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20. In the following days, the U.S. State Department issued a waiver on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the world's leading HIV initiative - for life-saving humanitarian assistance.
While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.
Amid a broader decline of funding, Stegling warned there would be a 400% increase in AIDS deaths if PEPFAR financial support is not re-authorized between 2025 and 2029.
"That's 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future...Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us" she said, urging U.N. member states to step in.
"In Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated," Stegling said.
She highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are "entirely dependent" on U.S. government funding.
She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.
U.S. donations account for the majority of global funding for the U.N. programme that operates in 70 countries, leading global efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Trump's administration says it is reviewing all foreign-aid programmes to see if they align with his "America First" policy.

Almost all comments have already been deleted so I couldn't entirely figure out what is going on, but it seems the CEOs main Nazi behaviours are:
1. Refuses to stop using Xtter and Facebook
2. On his Xtter there are some statements to the effect that women in games should be attractive
3. He has changed character creation labels from Body Type A/B to Male/Female

So I fricked up and booked my hotel for the same Friday in May instead of tonight. I still got a room, but it's going to be $800/night instead of $350/night like I'd planned. That really sucks.

So I make breastmilk and memorial jewelry and there's a big company in China that manufactures the jewelry. There's actually even a really big well known brand that's I've seen that uses their jewelry and lots of smaller businesses do too. I've looked and looked and LOOKED to find something else but there's nothing like them.
My husband is a Trump guy even though he says he doesn't like him. We've had discussions about the tariffs and he's saying that it's corrective to bring jobs back to the US.
Well I was just talking to the owner that manufactures the jewelry and he told me that they might have to shut down because they basically sell at wholesale and barely make a profit and DHL and UPS are charging more for the headache of the tariffs. He's not sure if they will have to pay or the buyers will have to. I'm hoping a praying that it's us as the buyer.
So I told my husband this and he was like, "well, it's just the market correcting itself." I was like, "you're not even a little mad that my business might be affected?!" Idk what he said but he was laughing and I blew up in his face.
I told him that he doesn't care enough about anyone but himself. He doesn't care about women's rights, lgbtq+ rights, immigrants, not my business, nothing.
Now I locked myself in my bathroom and I'm crying. He keeps trying to talk to me but I won't talk to him. Talk me down man.

I was just going to leave the thread blank for two reasons:
1) Since the film is so in love with cutesy little meta-metacommentary it seemed appropriate because
2) I felt absolutely nothing for this movie,
however that's too subtle, so like Cabin in the Woods itself I will now belabor the point long past anyone's ability to care.
I honestly don't even know where to begin with this. It wasn't offensively bad or anything a la Black Swan, it isn't good-bad like Chopping Mall, it's not just plain old serviceable and therefore solid in its decency like The Omen, and it certainly isn't good. And it's like it was written to preemptively shield itself from criticism.
I could call it formulaic. The defense would be that of course it's formulaic, that's the point of the movie haha they even named the generic slasher archetypes at the end, the formulaicism is part of the joke.
I could call it uninspired. The defense would similarly be that of course it's uninspired, there's a Cube-style room of rooms with all the monsters from everything, it's all deliberately derivative and referential.
I could call it not scary. The defense would again similarly be that this is also intentional, look how it's also billed as a comedy. Nevermind that it's not funny either, because it's also billed as a horror.
The plain and simple of it is that it is formulaic, and this goes for the meta-meta narrative as well. Yes the silly organization's point is to enact the contrived ritual that plays out with horror movie tropes because it's supposed to, that's not whats formulaic about it. It can be argued that every beat up to the descent into the facility is formulaic by design, but once they're through that door that excuse falls flat.
The plain and simple of it is that it is uninspired. One of the technicians remarks early on that they're allowed to cheat to make things play out as needed as much as they want. Later we see that security personnel gunning down the sacrifices meets the requirementsβthere's no reason not to lead with that and just shoot the whore first. Or to bomb the cabin after shooting the whore. Or literally anything else. The overarching narrative cannot be flimsy because the arguably intentionally shitty internal narrative is wink-wink-shitty to allow room for that larger one. The overall story is just there as an excuse to make 8104 different references (HAHA THE WHITEBOARD TALKS ABOUT THE R*PE TREES FROM EVIL DESD LOL) and give 3 second cameos to creatures from other movies. The facility and organization itself is just a Cube Zero knockoff anyway.
The plain and simple of it is that it is neither scary nor funny. There are no stakes even with the apocalypse on the horizon and then actualizing to end the film. Everyone is boring and sucks. Literally Shaggy from scooby doo as the lead can't go any other way. The humor predates it by several years but it all smacks of that atrocious Rian Johnson Star Wars movie with the yo momma joke; it's quip "comedy" without the quips but the exact same degree of unwarranted and omnipresent self-satisfaction.
This is, however, a lot more negativity than Cabin in the Woods strictly deserves. I don't feel any sort of profound loathing for it or anything, it did nothing to elicit any particular emotion that strong. It's a completely unremarkable hour and a half.
For a movie with such an incredibly promising cover and inexplicably golden critic reviews from the beforetimes when critics evaluated things by metrics other than how much gay s*x a film has in it, the only thing I feel in any notable sense is confusion as to how either of these things happened. That and I want to watch Hellraiser because cenobites are great even if they are bootleg and have 30 seconds of screentime in an utterly mid movie.

I (19F) have been dating my boyfriend Austin (24M) for 6 months now but as of recently i started using a vibrator during s*x. The reason is because he rarely makes me c*m and doesn't seem to even try, so i started using toys while he fricked me. At first he didn't seem to care until last night after we finished he said "it's a bit selfish to use that while we're having s*x"
It came as a surprise because he never said anything the other times i used it. I told him it's because i can't c*m from only penetration, keep in mind he doesn't like giving head or fingering. But most times i give him a blowjob to start things off he just never gives anything back. and i give really good head like a lot of times he cums during the blowjob before we even start fricking, which is fine because i like sucking peepee i just don't wanna feel left out
Soo because of this i resorted to using toys which feels amazing but he doesn't like it. I tried coming to some kind of agreement like asking if he can at least stimulate my clit while he's fricking me or even 69 so we both get stimulated, but he said word for word "real Gs don't eat kitty" .... idek what that means but ok
At this point im just getting so sexually frustrated and i feel like i haven't came properly in ages. Idk if im being the butthole here but i'm tempted to end the relationship and find someone else. If you know any guys that aren't selfish in the bedroom and have a high s*x drive, plss send them my way! i don't care about age or looks
What do fat r*dditors think about this dumb fake story?
I second this. REAL men care about their partners' pleasure.
WRONG. REAL men beat their wives. Also this person has only a single submission and it's in /r/poor. Keep yourself safe.
Definitely NTA. If he doesn't care about your pleasure, what's the point? You're not a s*x toy for his convenience.
Yes you are. A s*x toy that cooks and cleans. Know your place, foid.

OP
Top comments all point out that reddit intellectuals were tricked
It's like they don't even care that the GOOD guy got punched!
Redditors seem to not understand that anti-fa means they can't be fascist. Did the conditioning break?
It's like they don't even know the Paradox of Tolerance! It's actually a moral imperative to attack people who disagree with weapons!

Hey neighbor! Since I am one of the only normal people on this site I thought I would give you guys a quick reality check on current affairs.
1. Mexico is more important than Canada. At least Mexicans have Mexican food. All Canadians have is bad driving and false sense of superiority and endless amounts of Chinese bug people.
2. Canada is a not a serious country to us. Canada is and will always be a joke to America. You are irrelevant 20th century leftovers that only get to live in Canada because nobody else wants to. Its a frozen wasteland filled with mountainous terrain.
3. Canada is a complete shit hole. You might have teenagers fooled on Reddit, but the rest of us have made the unfortunate mistake of visiting your cursed land of mediocre socialism. Your food sucks, your music sucks, your drinks suck, your venues fricking suck, your roads suck, your drivers are the worst. Canada is purgatory realized. Even the fricking orange juice tastes like shit.
So please I know reddit has blown up that off-brand europoor ego of yours, but trust me, it's not reality.
