An Ebola treatment center was burned down as the death toll in Congo passes 4,000 (r/worldnews)

• tilleytalley: Burnt down by soldiers.
• Getoff-my_8allz: Sounds like treatment and prevention isn’t wanted there, maybe pull back and let them handle themselves? These doctors could be elsewhere saving people and instead have to deal with these dangers as well. If they value their traditions over living let them be.
• Mediocre_Tank_5013: I know I seen an article last week that said 8k

US sends 2,000 Marines, carrier strike group to Mideast in Iran buildup (r/worldnews)

• TahDigThief: More than 2,000 US Marines and the Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group are heading to the Middle East as Washington expands its military presence around Iran, Al Jazeera Arabic reported Thursday, citing an unnamed US official.
  
  The official said the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and its accompanying warships had departed San Diego for the region, while a Marine expeditionary force left the base earlier this week.
  
  By the end of November, the United States is expected to have three aircraft carriers and two amphibious groups deployed around Iran, according to the official.
  
  The official said concentrating that level of US military power in the region would give Washington “many options” in dealing with Tehran.
• SlumdogSkillionaire: How many aircraft carriers do you need for a war you’ve already won? Three seems excessive.
• Numerous-Bowler-8677: 2000 is too small for ground invasion right? Or is Trump going after Iran islands?

Mike Tyson once said “social media made people too comfortable disrespecting others and not getting punched in the face for it” What’s a real-life example of someone learning that lesson? (r/AskReddit)

• yearsofpractice: Actual literal Mike Tyson giving some wanker a slap on an aeroplane because he kept getting in Tyson’s face.
• TraditionalBackspace: The only thing some people respond to are serious consequences for their actions.
• Seraph782: When a coworker violated HIPAA to look up another coworker’s brother’s motorcycle accident and proceeded to post about it IN DETAIL on her FB page. He just happened to be brought to our hospital as the accident was serious enough to need a level 1 trauma facility for care–and my old job was the only one for three states.
  
  She was fired within the week, sued by the family in court for damages eventually and fined after an investigation revealed she’d asked someone how to thoroughly read his charts as doctors documented under her own login in our electronic health record system and the person told them how even though they knew “she told me how to do it” wouldn’t show up in the information log–nosy coworker’s login would accessing places she had no reason to be.
  
  The coworker whose brother it was understandably didn’t want to talk about her brother possibly dying so Nosy took it upon herself to find out–and run her mouth.
  
  When another coworker asked the sister how did the surgery she had told no one went for his leg, she knew something was up and people who were Nosy’s friend screenshot her detailed Facebook posts about her brother and how she “had a right to know” so “she could pray at her church for her brother’s soul should he die” because it was bad enough and he actually could.
  
  Her brother lived, by the way. And Nosy was blackballed from the healthcare industry for life for this–she can’t even get a job mopping floors in a clinic because of this. Violating HIPAA is a federal charge and it’s on her record for life.

People over 35: What is a bad habit you had in your 20s that you didn’t realize would catch up to you so brutally in your 30s? (r/AskReddit)

• tickletaylor: Avoiding social obligations, now there are none to avoid
• apfelblondchen: procrastination
• ItemOk8415: Lack of movement. This is the answer for every version of this question. If you don’t move it, you lose it. I’m not telling you lift heavy, or run ultramarathons. Just move your body everyday.
  
  We as a society have moved away from movement. We sit all day at work, we come home and sit and watch tv, scroll our phones or play video games for the evenings.

U.S. Marine arrested on suspicion of murder after ‘brutal and heinous’ death in Japan, officials say (r/news)

Pennsylvania measles cases near 1,000 as outbreak spreads (r/news)

• canzicrans: I actually hate it when the news calls measles a highly contagious disease. It is considered the most contagious disease we know, with a 90% infection rate among unvaccinated people. Maybe more people would vaccinate if news agencies would stress its incredible infection rate more.
• Unknown_vectors: It is the Amish here in Pennsylvania they have it the most.
  
  Working in medicine and working with Amish that are calling because they have it, they don’t care. “It’s gods will”.
  
  It’s stupid.
  
  For the ones that call an ambulance for it, their whole family has it and the only ones getting counted are the ones going for treatment. Our numbers have to be way higher.
  
  The state had a pop up vaccine clinic in a high Amish population area and a lot less showed up than we hoped would.
  
  Whole thing is stupid AF.

  Knew a chick who said she had a charting album in Spain. She could not sing nor speak Spanish and she was pissed when I exposed those facts. She later told a friend of mine that her son was run over by a car and died (he was a father and very upset on her behalf), but when asked her son’s death date by two different people, gave very different timelines.
• WIZARD_SLEEVES: I’m a guy, but I’ve seen videos on social media of women talking about how they saw a cute guy somewhere and then stalked him on social media to try and put themselves in a situation where they would be in the same place again and he would hit on them.
  
  I remember seeing one video where a girl joined a bookclub that the guys mom was in to befriend the mom and have her mention to the guy “I met this cute single girl in my bookclub, should I give her your number?”

  More than \$10 million worth of cocaine stored at a Fiji court as evidence in a long-running drug-trafficking trial has been replaced with flour, in yet another apparent example of internal corruption that has plagued Fiji’s authorities.
  
  The ABC has confirmed 32 kilograms of cocaine stored at the Suva High Court for the long-running trial of Fiji-Canadian national Joshua Aziz Rahman had been replaced and is now effectively missing, with police investigating the incident.
  
  Fiji Police issued a statement Tuesday afternoon confirming that “forensic tests” of the drugs came back negative. “The exhibits were all tampered with, and the investigation is focused on those directly charged with the management of the exhibits at the High Court Registry,” the statement said.
  
  Aziz Rahman was convicted in 2021 and sentenced to 23 years in prison, but later appealed the sentence and walked free in February 2026. Fiji’s public prosecutor appealed that and won, and the conviction was reinstated with Aziz Rahman returning to jail. “

Federal intelligence agency contacted amid U.S. interference allegations in Quebec election (r/worldnews)

• Ok-Appearance-674: Yet we air a commercial of a US president during the superbowl and Trump loses his mind
• Weekly-Ad-2509: I’m still 98% certain the election was stolen
• SuddenRadio6221: We didn’t especially want Trump but it’s the total incompetence of the Democrats that brought us here.
  1. We could have had a liberal Supreme Court: Marshall quit and was replaced by Thomas but lived to see Clinton inaugurated. O’Connor quit and was replaced by Alito, she deeply regretted her mistake. Ginsburg was diagnosed with cancer while Obama was president and dems ran the senate, but she refused to leave. Now we have Barret.
  2. Biden appointed Garland as AG. Despite an airtight case against Trump, he did nothing for two years. By the time he appointed Jack Smith, it was too late. Even as Trump was convicted in NY State, he couldn’t be punished.
  3. Unlike Obama, Biden allowed the close to 10 million migrants into the country, which right or wrong, was deeply unpopular. By the time he realized the political cost and tried to stop it, the republicans wouldn’t, knowing that democrats would shoulder the blame.
  4. Biden was able to hide his cognitive impairment long enough to get nominated. He thought he could hide though the whole election, but it became immediately obvious that he was unelectable. He immediately endorsed Harris.
  5. America has the electoral college instead of a majority vote. As a result, the election is decided by a few swing states, which can best be characterized as conservative but winnable. Racism and sexism are definitely a factor in how they vote. In the end, no blue states or red states were flipped, but she lost EVERY SINGLE swing state. This was completely predictable.
  Even now she hasn’t ruled out running in ‘28 and there’s zero reason to think that she’ll go from losing all the swing states to winning a majority of them.
  The American people aren’t bad in aggregate, but the sheer corruption of the republicans continues to be matched by the sheer incompetence of the democrats and no one is looking out for the average citizen.

South Korea demands apology from Ukraine over disclosure of North Korean POW transfer (r/worldnews)

• nithrean: Why is the South so sensitive about this? Just trying to understand.
• arg_democrito: Like SK cares about that, NK can decide tomorrow to kill all the left handed people of its population for an insane dictatorial reason and no one in the world would do a thing. NK and SK relationship couldn’t be any worse, except for open war. To me SK is playing some political game to not piss off probably China or Russia too much, and using the prisoners thing as an excuse.

  Typical weak ass populist trying to rally the banners at a made up external threat to improve his poll numbers.
