russian-police-blocked-the-traffic-so-that-a-family-of-ducks-could-cross-the-road-at-a-quarantine-post

In the Russian city of Krasnodar, on April 21, police stopped the traffic so that a family of ducks could cross the road.

 

The video appeared on social media on April 23. The footage shows how the police put a traffic sign on the roadway when the ducks stepped on the road. After the animals reached the curb, the sign was removed.

 

The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Krasnodar told Yuga.ru that ducks crossed the road on Uralskaya Street near the traffic police quarantine post.

 

Birds attracted the attention of traffic inspectors, after which they stopped the movement and organized a safe passage of animals through the roadway. Then the police helped the ducks cross another section of the road.

 

“Police officers not only ensured the safe passage of the animals themselves, but also took all necessary measures to prevent congestion. We drove some animals to the other side.

 

It should be noted that the animals were heading towards a nearby pond, literally a few hundred meters away, ”said Artem Konovalenko, head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Krasnodar.

they-lived-for-100-days-on-a-desert-island-with-a-9-month-old-baby-the-story-of-americans-stranded-in-the-bahamas-because-of-covid-19

American Brian Trautman, 44, and his Swedish wife, Karin, 29, were caught in a pandemic in the Bahamas. And because they were not allowed to return to the United States, they spent 100 days on a desert island with their 9-month-old daughter, Sierra.


Captain Brian Trautman has been roaming the oceans of the planet for more than 10 years, aboard his light yacht SV Delos. For him and his wife, Karin, "the sea is everything and avoids as much as possible to stay on land." But on March 17, when the Bahamas declared an epidemiological state of emergency due to COVID-19 and closed its borders on March 23, Brian and Karin were forced to take refuge on a desert island.

 Even though their little girl is only nine months old, the two adventurers took risks and lived by drinking rainwater and eating what Brian, who is a good diver, hunted or fished. In an interview with the BBC, Karin admitted that they went through hard times and even had a panic attack until she realized that they were "isolated in paradise".


"We had the opportunity to be isolated from the rest of the world on a desert island in the Bahamas and we did not come into contact with anyone. We will leave the island after staying 100 days because the hurricane season is approaching and in June it is very dangerous to stay in the middle of the ocean ", said Karin.


They did not lack internet connection and electricity by successfully using the solar panels on the yacht and wind energy. Karin overcame the psychological blockage after Brian explained that the island they had settled on was only three days' walk from the nearest hospital. They have managed to turn half of their wardrobe into diapers for Sierra and can't wait to return to civilization to make enough supplies for another adventure.

The two adventurers received the approval of the Bahamas authorities to remain on the island during the epidemic that killed more than 370,000 worldwide only after offering assurances that they would not interfere in the biodiversity of this exotic paradise.

he-has-been-living-at-the-airport-for-110-days-an-estonian-has-been-unable-to-leave-the-manila-terminal-since-march

He has been living at the airport for over 100 days.  Roman Trofimov arrived at the airport in Manila, Philippines on March 20, aboard an Air Asia aircraft.  From then until now, the airport has become his home because he could not leave.


Roman Trofimov lives a nightmare worthy of Kafka's books.  He arrived in Manila, Philippines, on March 20 and has been making desperate efforts to be assisted by authorities.  The Estonian said he ran out of passports when he passed the Immigration office, so it was impossible for him to get Air Asia to Thailand.  


Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, and the entire planet blocked hundreds of thousands of flights.  But Trofimov hoped he would be able to return to Bangkok, Thailand, because the number of illnesses was kept under control by the authorities.  But hopes were dashed.


 Following the suspension of flights in South Asia, the Philippine authorities did not allow him to enter the country because visas were no longer issued.  So his only home remained "no man's land," that is, the airport.  He was stranded in the Manila airport terminal and on July 7 ticked exactly 110 days since he turned the transit area into his second home.


 Initially, the Estonian tourist hoped to reach the province of Cebu, in the Philippines, and had to board a flight to his destination on March 20.  He was compensated for the suspended race, but the situation did not change.  The Estonian television station ERR explained that Trofimov had a "gray passport", a document specific to people with unclear citizenship.  


He was left without a passport after his document was withheld at the Immigration Office.  He asked for the help of the Estonian Embassy, ​​and the authorities said that he refused a repatriation flight on the grounds that "the embassy asked him to pay 1,500 euros".  In reply, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that "Trofimov took the risk when he traveled during a period when flights were suspended."

collection-of-the-most-controversial-reddit-communities-that-have-been-banned

The social network Reddit has at times been the subject of controversy due to the site's presence of communities (known as “subreddits”) dedicated to explicit or controversial content. In 2012, Ishan Wong, then general manager of the site, said, “We can speak freely. This means that we will not ban harmful subreddits. We will not prohibit legal content even if we consider it hateful or personally condemn it. “Since then, however, many ideology-based subreddits have been banned.


The r / jailbait subreddit, dedicated to suggestive or revealing photographs of underage girls, was one of the most famous subreddits on the site until it closed in October 2011 following a CNN report. The controversy over r / Creepshots, about revealing or suggestive photographs of women taken without their knowledge or consent, arose a year after r / jailbait closed. The r / Creepshots controversy led Gawker to find out about one of the subreddit's moderators, Adrian Chen, who revealed the real identity of the user behind the account, Michael Brutch. This marked the beginning of a media debate on the ethics of anonymity and Internet access.


1.Beating women

On June 9, 2014, Reddit closed the r / beatingwomen subreddit. A community that used graphic images of violence against women was banned after its moderators were found to share users' personal information online and collaborate to protect each other from bans across the country. After the ban, the founder of the community rebooted a subreddit called r / beatingwomen2 in an attempt to get around the ban, but was subsequently banned.


2.Braincels

r / Braincels was the most popular subreddit for incels, or "forced chastity," after r / Incels was banned, and by April 2018 it had 16,900 followers. Subreddit leaders decided to ban pro-homicide figures. However, the subreddit promoted rape and suicide. The subreddit was banned on September 30, 2019, following a violation of Reddit's Bullying and Harassment Content Policy.



3.ChapoTrapHouse

r / ChapoTrapHouse was a subreddit dedicated to the leftist podcast Chapo Trap House, which is associated with the term "left bag of dirt." The community had 160,000 regular visitors before they were banned on June 29, 2020, because they "are constantly posting policy-breaking content and their mods have shown no intention of curbing their community." The community was previously quarantined for violent content.


4.CreepShots

A year after r / jailbait closed, another subreddit called r / CreepShots caused controversy in the press for posting sexualized images of women without their knowledge. Following this media attention, u / violentacrez was added to r / CreepShots as a moderator, and reports surfaced that Gawker reporter Adrian Chen was planning a revelation that would reveal the real identity of this user, who moderated dozens of controversial subreddits as well as several hundreds of communities of interest. Several major subreddits have banned links to Gawker in response to the pending exposure, and u / violentacrez account has been deleted. The moderators defended their decision to block the site from these sections of Reddit because the forthcoming report was "doxing" (a term denoting the identity of a pseudonym) and that such exposure threatened the site's structural integrity.


When Chen informed u / violentacrez of the pending revelation, the user pleaded with Chen not to publish it because he was concerned about the potential impact on his work and finances, noting that his wife was disabled and had a mortgage. He also expressed concern that he would be falsely labeled child pornographer or anti-Semite due to some subreddits he created. Despite u / violentacrez's suggestion to delete his posts and leave Reddit, Chen insisted that he publish the article anyway.


5.Exposing Gawker

Chen published an article on October 12, 2012, which revealed that the person managing the u / violentacrez account was a middle-aged programmer from Arlington, Texas named Michael Brutch. Within a day after the article was published, Bruch was fired by his employer, and the link to the disclosure was briefly blocked on Reddit. He stated on Reddit after posting the article that he had received multiple death threats.


Reddit CEO Ishan Wong defended the content Brutsch posted on the site as free speech and criticized attempts to ban Gawker's link on the same grounds. Wong said the staff had considered the site-wide link ban but rejected the idea out of concern. this would create a negative impression of the site without getting results. Brutch later briefly returned to Reddit with a different account and criticized what he called numerous factual inaccuracies in exposing Gawker.


A week after the revelation, Brutch was interviewed by CNN, which aired on Anderson Cooper's 360 ° channel. In an interview with journalist Drew Griffin, Brutch apologized for his Reddit activities. He explained that he liked the gratitude he received from other editors the most and that Reddit helped him relieve stress. Brutch also described support from administrators, stating that he received an award for his contributions. Reddit noted that the award was received for winning the community vote for "Worst Subreddit" and stated that they regret submitting it, as well as that the u / violentacrez account has been banned multiple times. Brutch subsequently noted on Reddit that he regretted the interview and criticized the accuracy of the statement made by Reddit to CNN.


Chris Slow, the lead programmer for Reddit until 2010, said of the relationship between Brutsch and the Reddit staff: “We just stayed away and let him go about his business and we knew that at least he was getting rid of a lot of things that weren't there. especially legal. "



6.Ethics of walking

Additional info: doxing and online privacy

Gawker's departure from Brutsch as u / violentacrez sparked controversy over privacy and anonymity.


7.Ethics of walking

Further information: Doxing and online privacy

Gawker's propaganda about Brutsch as u / violentacrez has sparked controversy over online privacy and anonymity. Such discussions included claims that picnics, or "doxing," were necessary to draw attention to inappropriate content so that it could be removed, while others argued that it prevents people from exercising their right to legal free speech online from - for fear of the public. retribution.


Sadie Doyle, writing for The Guardian, likened this to the antics of alleged blackmailer Amanda Todd and suggested that such walks might be justifiable, but they could also over-focus on individuals without getting into the mainstream of sensationalism. through cultural reform. In PC Magazine, Damon Poetter stated that while he defended the protection of anonymity online, he still supported Bruch's disclosure because he felt that the various subreddits he contributed to as u / violentacrez were a serious intrusion. privacy, regardless of legality, and that therefore the disclosure of his data was justified.


The public outpouring of hostility towards Brutch after the exposure prompted commentators such as Wired's Dana Boyd and CNET's Michelle Star to question the morality of walking as a way to enforce social standards on the Internet. Several commentators have expressed concern that publicly denouncing Bruch to serve as an example to others legitimizes online vigilance and exposes people like Brutch to massive retaliation.


8.Juggling anarchy

r / CringeAnarchy is a subreddit dedicated to “annoying” and “harsh”, politically incorrect content with far-right content. Initially an uncensored (hence "anarchic") by-product of r / cringe, it later shifted to the far right, with anti-trans and anti-SJW content. The subreddit was quarantined in September 2018 and had over 400,000 subscribers at the time.


Since the Christchurch Mosque shooting (March 15, 2019), more anti-Muslim messages have surfaced on the subreddit. The subreddit was blocked on April 25, 2019, for violating Reddit's violent content policy.

Such actresses included Emma Watson and Daisy Ridley. After the subreddit got publicity, videos from the subreddit were banned from Gfycat and Discord. On February 7, 2018, the day after Pornhub banned the video, the subreddit was also blocked.

On June 10, 2015, Reddit blocked five subreddits, citing anti-harassment policies. The largest of the banned subreddits, r / fatpeoplehate, had about 151,000 subscribers at the time of the ban. The remaining four were subreddita r / hamplanethatred, r / neofag, r / transfags, and r / shitniggerssay. The Reddit administrator said, "We will ban subreddits that will allow their communities to use the subreddit as a platform to harass people when moderators are not taking action."

The r / GenderCritical subreddit had 64,400 users who described themselves as "the most active feminist community on Reddit," where "women-centered radical feminists" discussed "gender from a gender-critical perspective."

The definition of incel on the subreddit is someone who has inadvertently spent at least six months without a romantic partner and turns 21; self-proclaimed incels are mostly heterosexual men. Many members adhered to a "black pill" ideology that fostered discouragement, often combined with misogynistic attitudes that condoned, belittled, or advocated rape, while calling women "femoids" and "whores." Notable reports of black pills included "reasons women are evil incarnate" and "proof that girls are nothing more than garbage using men." Users deemed too friendly to women or claiming that women suffer from sexual abuse to the same extent as men were banned. Subreddit users have at times either respected or hated the "norms" and "Chadov" for their courtship abilities, with some admiring assassins such as Elliot Roger, the culprit in the Vista Island murders in 2014, who identified himself as "Insel."


In the summer of 2017, a petition appeared on Change.org calling to ban r / incels for inciting violence against women.

In September 2018, the subreddit was quarantined and banned in October.


17.Jailbait

The Reddit staff were initially opposed to adding obscene material to the site, but over time they became more lenient when prolific moderators like a user named Violentacrez were able to identify and remove illegal content at a time when they did not have enough staff to take on the task. Communities dedicated to explicit content gained in popularity, with r / jailbait, which used provocative footage of underage teens, was selected as Subreddit of the Year in the 2008 Best of Reddit user poll and at one point made a jailbait popular. the second most frequent search query for the site. Eric Martin, general manager of Reddit, defended the jailbaited subreddit, claiming that such controversial pages were due to the site's freedom of speech.

This initially caused a spike in internet traffic on the subreddit, which resulted in the page peaking at 1.73 million views on the day the report was published. Following these news posts, a Reddit user posted an image of the underage girl on r / jailbait, subsequently claiming that he also had nude images of her. Dozens of Reddit users then posted requests for these nude photos in private messages. Other Reddit users took notice of this discussion, and on October 11, 2011, Reddit administrators closed the r / jailbait forum.

suez-canal-memes-best-40-funny-pictures-that-makes-jokes-about-a-cargo-ship-that-is-blocking-the-worlds-second-busiest-water-route

The Suez Canal was blocked by a failed 400-meter ship. More than 180 ships are standing in line to pass, and the interventions of the authorities are in vain for the time being.


The ship Ever Givern can carry up to 200,000 tons of cargo and was stuck perpendicular to the channel, reports Digi24, referring to The Guardian. It moved from China to Rotterdam, being owned by a Taiwanese company but registered in Panama.


To solve the problem, the Egyptian authorities sent excavators to the scene, but they failed to change the position of the ship. It should be noted that the blockade disrupts trade, as about 12% of world trade volume crosses the channel.


The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea. Currently, rows of ships loaded with various goods have formed at both ends of the canal, and Bloomberg writes that the effects of the incident are already being felt, with Brent raising oil prices abruptly, for a short time, by 2.5%.


It is also worth mentioning that the incident is not the first of its kind. In 2017, a Japanese ship was stranded on the canal, but was put back on course within hours.
