@TracingWoodgrains good luck with your next job. I'm sure you'll be great

Lukenas' boss, Gary Howe, who works as co-head of Bank of America's financial institutions group, deactivated his LinkedIn page after he was inundated with angry messages from purported bank staffers.

Investment bankers post their Ls:

This counts as victim blaming:

>The crew, made up of 20 Indian nationals and one Sri Lankan, are stuck due to both visa issues and the ongoing investigations by the US National Transportation Safety Board and FBI

>Investigators confiscated the crew members' cell phones, and although they've received replacements, advocates say they were left without important contacts and are unable to transfer money home or pay bills online.

>Authorities began demolishing the remaining parts of the bridge this week in an effort to free the ship, though it remains unclear when or if the crew will be allowed to disembark

Of course my backward butt country is on the forefront of chuddery 🤦🏽‍♀️

MAGA voters have explained why they turned their backs on the US for a new life in Russia, claiming the former communist state is a 'positive vision of 1950s America'.

Conservative men have cited the country's Christian values, beautiful women and stunning scenery as the reasons behind their move.

After losing faith in their hero Donald Trump, some have moved as far east as Siberia, unfazed by the prospect of being led by an autocratic dictator.

Imagine moving to fricking Siberia.

They have even expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin, choosing to believe his narrative about his decision to invade Ukraine.

'I think he's a good man,' ex-pat Peter Frohwein, 62, told the Free Press. 'This lie that he's somehow a dictator — just because he was in the KGB doesn't mean he's ever killed anybody.'

>just because he was in the KGB doesn't mean he's ever killed anybody

Frohwein is divorced with no kids, but has hopes of starting up a family. He moved from Atlanta to Yalta in the Crimea in July 2023.

'Twenty percent of the women could be supermodels,' he said, explaining he anticipates his children would speak three languages: English, Russian and Mandarin.

'I wouldn't seriously consider starting a family in the U.S. today,' he added. 'The U.S. is a political mess. Socially, things are a mess. Spiritually, things are a mess.'

>Twenty percent of the women could be supermodels

Meanwhile, family man Joseph Rose has managed to carve out a career with his YouTube channel documenting his new life in Moscow.

>carve out a career with his YouTube channel

'I would say that Russia is becoming a bastion of Christianity and that America is becoming the opposite of this,' Rose explained.

'I do think it was God leading me to where I needed to be right now. I was put in a spot where I could be used.'

I hate christcucks so fricking much.

Rose, 49, relocated to Russia from Tallahassee, Florida, with his wife and children and has not looked back since.

'I often say it feels like our positive vision of 1950s America,' he explained.

One program manager from Texas, who wished to remain anonymous, suggested Russia offered a simpler way of life.

'People are running around in America wondering why we have so many problems with suicide and depression, and they'll virtue signal and talk about the phones, and it's this and that, and the reality is children are not allowed to be children,' the father-of-six said.

>America wondering why we have so many problems with suicide

His comments bear echoes of the conservative Christian Feenstra family who moved from Canada to Russia to 'escape LGBT ideology'.

Farmer Arend Feenstra and his wife Anneesa made the decision to move their family of 10 from Canada to Russia in January - however their dream appeared to go quickly downhill upon their arrival.

The proceeds from selling their farm in rural Canada were immediately frozen as their Russian bank deemed the sum 'suspicious'.

Wife Anneesa took to social media to moan about unhelpful locals not speaking English - but then issued a pleading apology after Russian government officials got wind of the insults she'd been meting out.

Seeing these dumbfrick rightoids who are used to being able to whine about the gobberment and then find out what an actual oppressive government is like is extremely satisfying.

>This spring, billions of cicadas will emerge

Cicadas are infected with a fungus that makes their peepee fall off and replaces or with a fake "fungus peepee"

>A mass of fungal spores builds up in the abdomen of each infected cicada. Eventually, the back end of the cicada — including its genitals — falls off. In its place, a white fungal plug is exposed, “a clump of spores that are erupting out of where the genitals and abdomen once were”

The fake peepee also makes meth in order to make the bug ragingly horny

>We found an amphetamine in those fungal plugs, which provides a plausible explanation as to why the behavioral modification is occurring,” Kasson said. After all, amphetamines are powerful stimulants in humans.

The fungal meth-peepee turns the cicada into a horny zombie whose peepee falls off when it fricks, both infecting its mate and also jizzing spores from the open wound to bomb other bugs with as it flies around in a meth fueled rage.

>when they pull apart, guess what happens? Rip. And then there's a cicada walking around with someone else's genitals stuck to them,” Cooley said. “And now the cicada that's infected is busted open. The spores dispersed by these "flying saltshakers" go on to infect the next generation of cicadas

The zombie bugs also become gay in order to frick as much as possible

>The infected males keep trying to mate with females, and they also change their behavior to attract their fellow males.

R-slur scientists can't decide if bugs get high on meth or not, the fungus may just make meth for lols

>it's making a powerful psychoactive chemical, but the powerful psychoactive chemical may not do anything to the insects,” Cooley said. He suggested that the fungus may have a different means of controlling the cicadas' behavior, and that the amphetamines it produces might instead serve to ward off vertebrate predators

To be clear, cicadas are edible, and they don't even need the meth so it's fine if you try it. Each cicada only has a low dose so you should eat several dozen of them

>While cicadas are edible, Kasson said people hoping to sample the bugs should be choosy about which ones they eat. If a person, dog or cat were to eat an infected cicada, they wouldn't be affected by the amphetamines in it — the dose is too small.

Don't worry about catching the peepee destroying r*pe-zombie fungus either, you can enjoy the free meth without a care

>M. cicadina is only capable of infecting cicadas (and just the 13- and 17-year varieties of these bugs), so humanity is probably safe from zombification.
