    I love how everyone talks about how nice this guy was. He goes to Africa a bunch, huh? I bet this guy was one of those death-to-the-gays type preachers who go to African countries to preach psychopathy. He’s nice to everyone he likes, and wouldn’t hesitate to kill someone he doesn’t.

    Super nice guy!

    taking a job extracting eyeballs from cadavers to be used in organ donation.

    And I thought my job sucks at times. Sounds like a walk in the park compared to “eyeball remover”. Yeesh.

      Doesn’t sound too bad, you just need a spoon and a little effort and you too can become an eyeball remover

      It’s telling that even his dream job (security contractor in DRC) is very corpse-adjacent.

      I had a buddy just out of college who had a job like this. He said the job was shit because he spent most of his time driving between different sites to extract and deliver organs. He never said much about dealing with the recently deceased, that part didn’t seem to bother him much, but traffic would set the dude off.

        Apply for it like any other job. It helps to live near an Eye Bank or organ donation center.

        A friend did it for a while, he runs a laser in surgery now and is much happier. He started as a mortician.

      Pretty sure the body still has to be alive for most organ donation… but maybe I’m wrong when it comes to eyes…

      But it sounds sketchy as fuck.

          Thanks! Sounds like about a day for most of them. So you do need someone recently dead

        I know you are getting briggaded, but I also know for a fact you are at least partially right.

        My partner has a surgery dependent on a “very recent” donor being the requirement, not alive but like, about as close as you can get. It wasn’t looking, good and I was considering taking out ads targeting 18-24 year old about how cool it is to ride motorcycles without helmets, but then we got lucky, so no need.

          Recency is a big thing. When my mom died, they put like a cooling pack on her eyes to help preserve them in the like hour or two they needed to determine if she could donate them.

        I saw this guy on TV, and he was truly perplexed at hearing about his friend’s actions, and eventually just broke down. I felt bad for him.

        The MAGA Nazi leaders are pure evil, but many of their followers aren’t inherently bad, they’ve just been manipulated by the Conservative Propaganda Machine to think they are saving their country. This guy seemed to suddenly come to that realization.
