Freezes but also fiercely competitive with all the layoffs. A friend of mine works in infosec and ive been trying to help him with finding remote work. These positions are so competitve, most openings at respectable places have thousands of applicants. We've had some friends with FAANG experience review his resume and make a few tweaks, which IMO is solid. I think at this point he's applied to over 40 positions and hasn't been able to get a single interview. Shits rough.

carnivores that have killed humans are certainly not relocated.

The WCS has no actual jurisdiction on what happens to animals that have killed people, especially not in the state of alaska. Every single instance of an identified wild predator killing someone (especially in Alaska) has ended with the dept of fish and game or state troopers eliminating the animal.

The WCS has about as much a say in what happens with dangerous animals as MAAD has about legislation that DOT is responsible for.

Its pretty much standard wildlife conservation 101 with predators that any predator that kills humans and eats them is likely to do it again. Your feelings about leaving the bear be would not matter because not doing anything would put other people, vulnerable people in danger. The people who go to school and spend their careers studying and protecting these animals are the same ones who make the calls to euthanize them when this happens. Just because you empathize with the bear doesnt change how the Biologists with Fish and Game operate.

their* and its an expression.

Carnivores that kill humans for prey should be put down. Not out of revenge but to prevent them from associating humans as a food source.

This is in a very rural part of alaska, chances are these two were alaska native and their people have been here just as long as polar bears.

The nihilistic take when humans die to animals is really fucking dumb. A mother and child were eaten alive, that is fucking horrifying.

Hopefully they blasted it straight to hell.

What did he say?

Books that tell a story of wear and tear on its survivors over a period of time rarely translate well to film. About 5 years ago I went on this spree of reading books with an emotional toll, with the highlights being The Road, In The Heart Of The Sea, then got capped off with All Quiet on the Western Front.

I dont know why hollywood is so against making a miniseries for stories that clearly require a miniseries to capture the full extent. I saw the Netflix trailer but thought it was going to be a show. Very disappointed to hear its a movie and even more so that they cut a lot of the book out for it. Maybe Tom Hanks could produce one that is Band of Brothers quality if he ever gets his ww2 fighter pilot series off the ground.

Oddly enough the part of the book that stuck with me the most was how hungry they were. There are times in my life where I thought I was hungry but after reading this book, I realized how privileged I've been to never truly experience hunger like these poor souls did. (or the sailors in the heart of the sea.... ;) )

The exorcist is a movie i regret watching at a young age. Its one of the most unsettling films, its been 20+ years since I watched it and plenty of the scenes from that movie are still seared into my brain.
