It’s often possible to recover these images, whether you’re using a Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, or Android phone. This guide will provide you with straightforward instructions on how to utilize built-in system tools as well as reputable third-party software to retrieve your lost pictures. We will take you through each step to ensure you have the best chance of restoring your precious memories. Ready to get started? Let’s dive into the recovery process. For Windows Users - using free build-in toolsThe first method to retrieve recently deleted photos on a Windows PC is by using the built-in tools. These tools are readily available and can be accessed easily on your computer. They include the Recycle Bin, File History, and Windows File Recovery tool. Let’s dive into the detailed steps on how to use each of these tools to recover your precious memories.Check your Recycle Bin firstIn most cases, deleted photos are sent to recycle bin directly. You can easily see your deleted photos in Windows Recycle Bin.
If you have recently deleted photos from your computer, the first place to check is the Recycle Bin. This is a temporary storage location where deleted files are kept base on the settings on Windows(users can adjust settings that affect how long items remain in the Recycle Bin). If you have not cleared your Recycle Bin, there’s a high chance your photos are still there. Windows Recycle Bin Versions Step 2: Opening the Recycle Bin To access the Recycle Bin, double-click on the icon on your desktop or open the File Explorer and select “ Recycle Bin ” from the left menu. Step 3: Restoring the Photos Once you have opened the Recycle Bin, browse through the files to find the photos you want to recover. You can use the search bar at the top to search for specific photos. Once you have located the photos, right-click on them and select “ Restore ” to bring them back to their original location on your computer. Using File History(Previous Versions)If the photos you want to recover were stored on your computer’s hard drive, you can also use the File History feature to retrieve them. Keep in mind that this method only works if you had enabled File History at the time the photos were deleted.Step 1: Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder where the deleted photo was located. Step 2: Right-click on the folder and select “ Properties ” from the drop-down menu. folder properties Step 3: In the Properties window, click on the “ Previous Versions ” tab. Folder Properties Step 4: If available, you will see a list of previous versions of the folder with their timestamp and size. Select the version you want to restore and click on the “ Open ” button. This will open a window showing the contents of the selected version. From here, you can copy and paste the deleted photos to a new location on your device. After the process is complete, you should be able to find your deleted photos in their original location. If you have disabled System Protection or if your device ran out of disk space, there may be no available backups to recover from. You may find out how to enable file history here . Tips: It’s important to note that the Previous Versions feature is not a guarantee for file recovery. It is only available if System Protection is enabled and if a previous version of the file is available. Using Windows File Recovery ToolIf the above methods do not work, you can also use the Windows File Recovery tool to retrieve your deleted photos. This tool is available for Windows 10 and allows you to recover deleted files from your hard drive, external storage, and even SD cards.

For Mac Users - Using Built-in Utilities and third-party appsBuilt-in UtilitiesTime Machine: The First Line of DefenseFor Mac users seeking to retrieve deleted photos, Time Machine stands as the premier built-in utility. To access it, connect the drive where your backups are stored, click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar, and choose “ Enter Time Machine “. From here, you can navigate back to the date before the photo’s deletion and click “ Restore ” to recover your image. Ensure you have Time Machine set up and running before any data loss occurs. https://preview.redd.it/buewfjvmsr0d1.png?width=321&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5e0ea778c5c1ea9dd73b3c85c2f5a6aa38b542f Retrieving from the Photos App The Photos application on macOS, replacing older apps like iPhoto and Aperture, also offers a safeguard against accidental deletion. Within the Photos app, deleted pictures are moved to the “ Recently Deleted ” album where they stay for 30 days before permanent removal. To restore, simply select the desired photo(s) and press “ Recover “. The chronological library and the ability to sort into albums make managing and retrieving your photos straightforward. https://preview.redd.it/z14psipnsr0d1.png?width=767&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5261d684dee6e2963efb3bffe392a3fdc64682d Utilizing Photo Booth for Recovery In instances where you’ve used Photo Booth —a camera application that comes standard with macOS—deleted photos might be recoverable if they were recently removed. Check the app’s library for thumbnails of saved images, as they may still be present. Although recovery options within Photo Booth are limited, the thumbnails provide a quick visual reference for recently captured images that may have been deleted elsewhere on your system. https://preview.redd.it/af9f9d9osr0d1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=a0ff202570887440442bc840b0964a0c2a923a92 Third-party apps/serviceThird-Party Data Recovery SoftwareWhen built-in options fall short, Mac users can turn to third-party software such as Undeleter , Disk Drill or PhotoRec for more robust recovery capabilities. These applications perform deep scans and can often recover files that are no longer visible to the user. They operate on the principle of file signatures, allowing them to identify various data types, including photos, and attempt to restore them. Remember to halt all use of the storage device immediately after data loss to prevent overwriting your deleted files. https://preview.redd.it/8h9qn95psr0d1.png?width=875&format=png&auto=webp&s=1439161ffe9afca04fd1f6eb5d2bcb76b1411311 Professional Data Recovery Services If all software-based methods fail to yield results, and the photos are irreplaceable, seeking professional data recovery services may be the next step. Despite being more expensive, these services provide specialized recovery techniques, particularly in cases of physical damage to storage media, offering the highest probability of retrieval for your valuable memories.
For iPhone/iPad usersUnderstanding the “Recently Deleted” AlbumOn an iPhone, deleted photos first move to the “Recently Deleted” album within the Photos app. They remain there for 30 days, providing an immediate recovery option without the need for additional software. During this period, you can simply select the photos and tap “Recover” to restore them back to your main library. https://preview.redd.it/jvce0weqsr0d1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=11e8d7c52018ef08109e174f56982154e104238a
When the “Recently Deleted” album is no longer an option, specialized software like Renee iPhone Recovery , Dr. Fone, iMyFone Data Recovery, and PhoneRescue can help. These tools attempt to recover lost data from deep within the iPhone’s storage. Although results can vary, many of these programs offer a preview feature to identify recoverable photos before purchase. Recovering from Other Devices and Cloud Services If third-party tools fail, check if the lost photos exist on other synced devices such as an iPad or a Mac . Cloud services like iCloud are also worth exploring, as they may have automatically backed up your photos. Additionally, images shared on social platforms may serve as an inadvertent backup.
While professional data recovery services can sometimes salvage photos that software cannot, they come at a significant cost and with no success guarantees. Such services should be a last resort, typically for irreplaceable photos, and it’s advisable to inquire about the likelihood of recovery before committing. For Android Devices EfficientlyIn today’s digital age, we use our smartphones to capture and store our precious memories in the form of photos. But what happens when we accidentally delete these photos? Thankfully, there are ways to retrieve them on Android devices efficiently. In this chapter, we will guide you through several methods to recover deleted photos on your Android device.Step 1: Check Your Google Photos Trash If you use Google Photos to back up your photos, then your deleted photos may still be in the trash for up to 60 days. To check, open the Google Photos app, tap on the three lines in the top left corner, and select “ Trash ” from the menu. If your photos are in the trash, tap on them and select “ Restore “. This will move the photos back to your main library. https://preview.redd.it/nsm726tssr0d1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4c2f1726e0779954978bdbc5e168de91421c1de Step 2: Use Your Device’s Gallery App If you have deleted a photo from Google Photos, but it’s still on your device, then you can use your device’s gallery app to delete it. Simply open the gallery app, find the photo, and delete it. This will permanently remove the photo from your device. Step 3: Try OneDrive Recycle Bin If you have OneDrive backup set up on your Android device, then you can try recovering your deleted photos from the recycle bin. To do so, follow these steps:
If you have photos stored on an SD card and they have been deleted, you can try recovering them by removing the SD card from your device and connecting it to a computer. You will need a card reader to do this. Step 5: Use Data Recovery Software If all else fails, you can try using data recovery software to retrieve your deleted photos on your Android device. There are many options available, but do thorough research and choose a reputable and reliable software to use.
Recovering Lost Memories from Digital Cameras StorageStorage media like SD cards are indispensable for digital cameras but can succumb to many forms of data loss, such as accidental deletion or card corruption. Water, heat, and even seemingly innocuous actions like ejecting the card during a write process can compromise the integrity of the data. For instance, exposure to moisture not only risks electronic failure but can also lead to data corruption, affecting the stored images on the SD card .Immediate Response to Data Loss When data loss is detected, the initial response is critical. Ceasing all operations on the digital camera’s storage device is paramount. Users should avoid capturing new images or attempting to access the card with other devices, which can lead to overwriting the lost data, rendering it irrecoverable, data only appear to be gone but are actually waiting to be overwritten. Preventive Measures: Tips to Avoid Future Photo Loss and Secure Your MemoriesWhile it’s great to have methods for recovering deleted photos, it’s always better to not lose them in the first place. The recovery process may not always be successful, and it’s time-consuming. To avoid the stress of lost images, here are some preventive measures you can take:Step 1: Regularly Back Up Your Photos Protect your memories by regularly backing up photos using built-in utilities, third-party tools, or cloud services. Choose a weekly or monthly schedule and promptly back up new images after events or before system updates. Windows users can use File History, and Mac users can use iCloud for security. Step 2:Create multiple partitions. Organize photos into dedicated folders or create separate partitions on your storage device to minimize accidental formatting and allow space for backups, enhancing photo protection. You can use Disk Utility on Macs to create multiple partitions on your external hard drive. Step 3:Never write new photos to the same place as lost images. If you’ve accidentally deleted photos, it’s important to stop using the device or storage media that contained the lost files. This is because the data is still physically on the device until it is overwritten. If you continue to use the device, you risk overwriting or corrupting the lost files, making it difficult to recover them. If you’ve accidentally deleted photos from your camera’s SD card, remove the card and do not use it until you’ve attempted the recovery process. Step 4:Auto-upload photos to the cloud. Many devices have the option to automatically send your photos to the cloud, providing a backup that extends beyond your device. This eliminates the need for manual backups and offers additional storage space through your cloud provider. Popular services like Google Photos and iCloud make it easy to store and access your photos. You can enable auto-upload for your photos on your iPhone through the iCloud settings. ConclusionPhotographs are precious memories, and losing them to deletion or technical issues can be devastating. Our guide helps you recover lost photos from various devices, explaining the “recently deleted” folder and providing step-by-step recovery instructions for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and digital cameras. We highlight tools like Renee Undeleter for easier recovery and offer tips for backing up and managing files to protect your photos. This guide ensures you can restore and secure your memories for the future.Relate Links :How to Recover Deleted Photos from Your Hard DiskWhere Do Deleted Files Go?

2024.05.16 12:51 Plenty_Trust_2491 How have I never heard of Death until earlier this year?
I mean, I kind of partially know the answer, but partially don’t.
I am a fan of all subgenres of rock, metal included. But, I’ve never been hyperfocused on metal. I owned the first two Black Sabbath albums, a couple Metallica albums, one Motörhead album, and one Arch Enemy album, but beyond that, most of the metal I own is alternative metal (Tool, e.g., is my second favourite band).
But, on the other hand, there are certain metal bands of which everyone has heard, even if they don’t like metal. Sabbath, Motörhead, and Metallica, obviously—but also Slayer, Megadeth, Cradle of Filth, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse, Slipknot, Lamb of God, maybe a few others like In Flames, Mastadon, Children of Bodom. Now, I’m not going to sit here and claim I know what all these bands sound like—I have not taken the time to explore each and every one of them—but they are names everyone easily recognizes. Why isn’t Death a band that everyone has heard of?! Why did I only just learn about their existence earlier this year?!
The documentary Death by Metal was being advertised on one of the streaming services, and it did that thing where it started to play a trailer of the thing on the screen. I heard snippets of music, and it said that this was one of the first death metal bands and whatnot; the documentary looked interesting, but more importantly the music seemed really good. I checked out a bit of it on YouTube, and decided to buy the first two albums through Amazon.
Scream Bloody Gore stayed in the car CD player for at least three weeks. One Way Ticket by ’70s power pop band The Nerves went in next, and stayed in for, what? two days? Now, Leprosy is in there, and I anticipate it will stay in there just as long as Scream Bloody Gore stayed.
And I know I’m going to be buying more Death albums in the future.
I just can’t get over how this band eluded my radar for thirty-six years. They were way too good of a band!
(As an aside, I just finished watching the aforementioned documentary.)
Edited to add: when I first listened to Scream Bloody Gore, one thing that struck me was that it seemed to have influences from both thrash and doom, with even a hint of speed in there. It was really good, a well-combined brew of influences.

2024.05.16 12:50 mo487 Dr K., Self-Sacrifice Schema, Opticsmaxxing, and Retaliation
I am very much a lurker in this community. I feel passionate enough about the Dr K. convo and all the things that have transpired since then to speak up.
I can base a lot of what I'm saying on a possible assumption but, I'm going to say what I have to anyways despite not having clear evidence of it. Be mad, idc.
Self Sacrifice Schema
I watched the interaction between Steve and Dr. K through the youtube video and everything I heard Steven express struggling with, I expressed to my own therapist only a few months ago.
I started medicating for ADHD a year ago and I can now operate on a much higher emotional intelligence then I've ever been capable of. And it hit me like a bag of fucking bricks.
I learned that, through whatever past traumas I have, I felt like I couldn't disappoint people, even when it was a detriment to myself. I would do the most for others while I didn't allow anyone to do anything for me. And at times people take advantage of that. I hate when people compliment me or thank me because in my mind it was my responsibility and not something to be commended for. I can't even stand when people sing "Happy Birthday" on my fucking birthday.
That shit gets taken advantage of. And I don't blame the other party entirely because I understand that I set up the relationship dynamics that contribute to it. My lack of boundary setting was an opportunity for others.
However, whenever I felt slighted enough I am very capable of going scorched earth. Doing the most piece of shit things feeling like someone has awarded me the opportunity and I am very capable of doing that. And it was always when things went way beyond a boundary I should've actually set. And I was made to feel bad for this capability of going scorched earth better than most people and I made myself feel bad.
What's worse however is curbing yourself so much knowing how fucked up you can be that you do nothing and allow people to step all over you.
I've seen plenty of posts here of people asking why Steve shows so much grace to people when they don't deserve it. I think the Dr. K talk explains all of that exactly.
Boundary Setting
Since I've acknowledged my own issues I've set so many boundaries. With my immediately family, my wife, my ex-wife, my children. And that shit is hard. As well, due to a misunderstanding of boundary setting based on not setting correct boundaries in the past, the pendulum had to swing in the complete opposite direction in order to figure out what I should be doing. I became extremely restrictive on my boundary setting with other people.
And due to the dynamics I set up by being extremely graceful it was very difficult for every other party involved. And when they retaliated I had no choice but to stand my ground to get them to understand the dynamics have changed. If it meant being a piece of shit so fucking be it. For my own mental health I was changing the dynamic of relationships with others
In the past couple months we've seen Steve cut the bullshit people he showed more than enough grace to. He split from someone who stepped all over the established boundaries she agreed to. He was as graceful as possible even in those instances.
Opticsmaxxing/Going to far
About a month ago things have finally began to normalize with the people around me. I am a lot more content with myself and have so much more conviction in my approach to others. For the most part it means that my relationships with people who matter have matured and gotten better. But it also means that people who want to fuck around with me are more likely to find out a lot sooner then I would've in the past. And I am not fucking nice.
I struggled at first with this conviction of being straight vile to people who thought I could be fucked with. Thought I was a bad person for it. I realize that I've always done this to myself. I've always been this way and hated myself for it. I now hate that I ever hated myself for it.
I've always been capable of going scorched earth with people. Anytime in my life I've been brought to that point it was either always justified or I dialed my actions back enough knowing that I was taking things to far. When it was justified it was a benefit to others or myself. When I dialed it back it showed maturity, empathy, and understanding. I've today come to terms with that side of me and not longer make myself feel bad for it.
Steve has shown that hes tired of a lot of shit and, fuck it, its time to scorch the fucking earth.
Retaliation
Here's where things get personal for me and why I feel motivated to even post this as a lurker.
Trigger warning: I'm going to probably piss some people off.
Eat shit and die (in minecraft). The man has shown enough good will and has proven that even in these moments of retaliation he's capable of managing even through the lense of optics. To hear people complain about what hes doing knowing that hes done enough to prove that he knows what hes doing is fucking annoying. Let the man scorch the fucking earth. Its earned. Its deserved. These people in this clique have consistently had his name in their mouth with him showing more grace than any of them showed him.

2024.05.16 12:48 oistenvich How many attempts at the EU form before giving up? (UK)
My story is the same as many others here. A fake instagram linked to my facebook, causing a suspension and just being trapped in an endless loop with no way to appeal.
I ave contacted my MP and they said they couldnt help. I have also addressed a letter directly to Meta Ireland Legal and also logged and ICO complaint, although the letter hasnt been recorded as delivered yet and the ICO also havent responded yet. I have no idea whether either route is effective.
The main success stories on here seem to be from using the EU hacked account form, but I have been filling these in day in day out since last Thursday with no success, just the same automated response telling me to f off. Ive tried differing variations in the fields and even given them different recovery emails to send a link to but they are just not interested.
How long did other people persist for? When do I just accept that this entire process is broken and just give up? Ive had that account for 17 years and it contains irreplaceable photo albums, contacts and I use it to manage the social media accounts for my (signed) band. All of this is now gone.
How can Meta be so utterly hopeless with this stuff?

2024.05.16 12:46 annejohnson12 Personalization at Scale: Leveraging Data for Performance Marketing Success
In today's digital marketing landscape, consumers expect a personalized experience at every touchpoint. Generic marketing messages are no longer enough to capture attention and drive conversions. Brands that can deliver relevant, individualized experiences across channels hold the key to unlocking performance marketing success. But achieving personalization at scale, where you tailor experiences to a vast audience while maintaining individual relevance, can be a significant challenge.
Embrace the power of data and technology to personalize your marketing efforts and unlock your full performance marketing potential in 2024 and beyond.
By following these strategies and remaining focused on delivering value, you can position your brand as a leader in personalized marketing, securing customer loyalty and achieving exceptional performance marketing results in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
Personalization at Scale: Leveraging Data for Performance Marketing Success
submitted by annejohnson12 to u/annejohnson12 [link] [comments]
Why Personalization Matters in Performance Marketing?
Personalization goes beyond simply addressing customers by name in an email. It's about understanding their unique needs, preferences, and behaviours, and using that knowledge to tailor your marketing message and offering accordingly. Here's why personalization is crucial for performance marketing success:- Increased Engagement: Personalized content is more likely to capture attention and resonate with customers, leading to higher engagement rates and click-through rates on your marketing materials.
- Improved Conversion Rates: When customers feel like you understand their needs, they are more likely to convert, leading to increased sales, leads, or desired actions.
- Enhanced Brand Loyalty: Personalization fosters a sense of connection with your brand, creating a more positive customer experience and leading to increased brand loyalty.
- Reduced Ad Spend Waste: By targeting the right audience with the right message, you eliminate wasted ad spending and maximize the return on your marketing investment (ROI).
Leveraging Data for Personalized Performance Marketing
The key to personalization at scale lies in data. By collecting and analyzing customer data responsibly and ethically, you gain valuable insights into your audience's behaviour, preferences, and buying journey. Here are some key data sources to consider for personalization:- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Data: CRM systems provide a wealth of customer information, including purchase history, demographics, and communication preferences.
- Website Analytics Data: Website analytics tools track user behaviour, indicating which pages customers visit, what content they engage with, and how they move through your website.
- Social Media Data: Social media platforms offer insights into audience interests, sentiment, and online behaviour. Utilize this data responsibly, adhering to user privacy regulations.
- Campaign Data: Analyze data from past marketing campaigns to identify what resonates with your audience and personalize future campaigns accordingly.
Strategies for Personalization at Scale
Once you have access to customer data, here are some data-driven strategies for implementing personalization at scale for performance marketing:- Audience Segmentation: Divide your audience into distinct segments based on shared characteristics, behaviours, or demographics. This enables you to customize your offers and communications to the unique requirements of each segment.
- Dynamic Content: Utilize technology to dynamically generate content that adapts to individual user profiles. For example, product recommendations on your website can be personalized based on a user's browsing history.
- Personalized Retargeting: Retarget website visitors with personalized ads based on the pages they viewed or products they interacted with. This helps keep your brand top-of-mind and encourages them to return and complete a desired action.
- Triggered Emails: Utilize automated email marketing campaigns that trigger based on specific user behaviours. For example, send a welcome email to new subscribers or a re-engagement email to dormant customers.
- Omnichannel Personalization: Ensure a consistent personalized experience across all channels, including email, social media, website, and paid advertising.
Tools and Techniques for Personalization at Scale
Several powerful tools and techniques can help you achieve personalization at scale:- Customer Data Platforms (CDPs): CDPs consolidate and unify customer data from various sources, providing a holistic view of each customer for personalized marketing efforts.
- Marketing Automation Tools: These tools automate repetitive tasks like email marketing campaigns and personalized content delivery, freeing up your time for strategic planning.
- Machine Learning (ML): ML algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data and make predictions about customer behaviour, enabling you to personalize experiences based on these predictions.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI can generate personalized content recommendations, suggest optimal ad targeting parameters, and automate personalization tasks at scale.
Personalization with Responsibility
While personalization offers significant benefits, ethical considerations are paramount. Here's how to ensure your personalization efforts are responsible:- Transparency and User Consent: Be transparent about how you collect and use customer data. Communicate and obtain consent from users regarding data usage for personalization.
- Data Security: To safeguard consumer information, put strong data security procedures in place. Observe all applicable data privacy laws, such as the CCPA and GDPR.
- Avoid Intrusiveness: Personalization should enhance the customer experience, not feel intrusive. Avoid bombarding users with irrelevant information or tracking them across the web.
- Focus on Value: Always strive to deliver value with personalization. Tailor your communications and offers to genuinely improve the customer experience and meet their needs.

Personalization at Scale: Leveraging Data for Performance Marketing Success
2024.05.16 12:34 Pinkmanhardmantofind Drake Is a Music Legend, by most Criteria
Drake has 3 Classic Albums at least, Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, and If You're Reading this it's too late, these are 3 Essential Pop Rap Albums
Drake Popularised Rappers being not afraid to Sing and display emotion and vulnerability as Rappers have always been seen as Macho Gangsters, and this is a reason Drake is mocked for being "the Type of Guy" because he is soft and "nice" in comparison to Traditional Rappers, Hence "Drake the Type of Guy to say no more Mr.nice Guy when he gets angry"
On a song like What's My Name by Rihanna, Drake Rapped but also blended singing which was borderline groundbreaking and norm breaking for a Rapper
Drake is one of the highest selling Artists of all time, with longevity, well over 100 Billboard hits, 13 Billboard number 1 songs, he has done well to find a Male and Female Audience, whereas an Artist like Taylor Swift has only captured a mostly female fanbase, Drake has Classic songs, Classic Features, huge impact and influence on Pop Culture, he's even a huge Meme
So all in all, is Drake on the level of Beatles, Michael Jackson, Prince, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and So on in terms of musical Artistry? Absolutely not, not even close, but he's had a fantastic Career, is highly impactful, influential, has Classics, defined an Era and Generation, was named Artist of the 2010s (ahead of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and more)
I don't even consider Drake a top 5 Rapper ever, Jay Z, Eminem, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac, Lil Wayne, Andre 3000 are all clear, but I am a music fan and if someone deserves their flowers I will praise them for it, Drake is undoubtedly a Musical legend.....despite......the many.....many things you can shit on him for

2024.05.16 12:17 MartianMaterial Template to Congress: I am writing to express my concern regarding the ongoing UFO disinformation campaign funded by taxpayer money.
 | Dear [Congressperson's Name], submitted by MartianMaterial to disclosureparty [link] [comments] I am writing to express my concern regarding the ongoing UFO disinformation campaign funded by taxpayer money. This campaign, which has been active for decades, seeks to obscure the truth about UFOs and non-human intelligence, preventing the American people and their representatives from accessing crucial information. The recent testimony of David Grusch under oath in Congress highlighted the extent of this disinformation campaign and the significant resources devoted to it. As a taxpayer and a concerned citizen, I believe it is imperative that these funds are redirected towards transparency and disclosure. The military and defense contractors have withheld critical information for far too long, and it is the sole responsibility of Congress to ensure that this practice ends. By ending the funding for the disinformation campaign, we can redirect these resources towards legitimate research and development that benefits all Americans. Additionally, it will hold those accountable who have perpetuated this campaign and restore trust in our institutions. I urge you to take immediate action to defund the UFO disinformation campaign and to advocate for greater transparency on this issue. The American people deserve to know the truth about UFOs and the potential impact on our national security and technological advancement. Best Regards, [Your Name] https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials Follow up in 3 weeks if no response. |

DC Next Proudly Presents:
Issue Fourteen: The Meek Shall Inherit
Written by AdamantAce
Edited by PatrollinTheMojave
<< First Issue < Prev. Next Issue > Coming Next Month
Dick's heart hammered against his chest like a pounding storm as he stood amidst the laboratory, flanked by Artemis and Barry Allen, the Flash. The weight of worry for Mar'i bore down on him unbearably, each moment without her amplifying his anxiety.
In the secluded closet hidden at the back of the lab, Dick and Artemis had found something haunting: a trove of withered seedlings, dead plants that looked alien in nature. Assuming the worst, but needing to confirm, Dick had quickly summoned a friend with a history of running genetic samples - none other than the Scarlet Speedster - to the scene.
Barry’s brow furrowed in concentration as he examined the specimens, having already run several tests.
“I'm limited in what I can do here; I'm a CSI, not a xenologist,” Barry admitted with regret, evoking his favourite chief medical officer of fiction. “Really, this really feels like a job for someone like Cadmus. Alien DNA is their whole deal.”
Dick could only grimace at the suggestion, reminded of the sickening experiments he had unearthed in the bowels of the Chicago cloning laboratory, of the dozens of aborted attempts at cloning Bruce Wayne. It was hard to stomach, especially knowing that he still had no idea who was responsible. “Not an option," he replied firmly. “Not Cadmus.”
Barry raised an eyebrow, his curiosity evident in his expression. “You don't believe those rumours about the Superboy clones, do you?" he asked. “They’re Reawakened through and through. Blame the other universes’ Cadmuses.”
In response, Dick shook his head. “It’s not that. It’s… something else.”
Barry then looked to Artemis and smiled. “It’s, uh… nice to meet you properly by the way,” he said. “I heard you, uh, shoot arrows.”
Despite the terrible situation they were in, Artemis allowed herself a snicker in response to the Flash’s awkwardness. “Among other things. It’s important to branch out, seeing as I know you already have an arrows guy.”
Just then, Tim emerged from behind a sliding door, draped in his red and black Rook gear, a stack of papers in hand. “Got the printouts you asked for,” he said, handing them over to Barry.
Barry swiftly flipped through the pages at super speed, his expression growing grim as he absorbed the information.
“What is it?” asked Artemis.
“What we feared,” he announced somberly. “The dead seedlings match the profile of alien species, with a significant DNA match for the Morning Eclipse sample you got from Starling’s fingernails.”
Dick's frustration boiled over, his voice dripping with anger. “Wilkof,” he spat, his jaw clenched in fury. “He let that damn killer plant loose.”
Tim struck himself in the shoulder in self-reproach. “I should've put it together sooner,” he muttered. “Wilkof knew plenty about Tamaran even before you let him speak to Mar’i.”
“It’s worse than we thought,” added Barry, and everyone’s blood turned cold. “This Dr Wilkof wasn't just releasing the Morning Eclipse, he was trying to propagate them; taking cuttings to grow more of them. We’re just lucky the Earth's sunlight is too diffuse for their growth.”
Dick's eyes widened in horror. “So he’s trying to create an army of killer plants?”
Barry nodded solemnly. “An army or a particularly menacing greenhouse.”
Artemis's brow furrowed as she pieced together a crucial detail. “Wait, a couple years ago they had me subbing in the bio department at school for a few months. I’m pretty sure plants grown from cuttings are meant to be genetically identical to the parent.”
Tim cursed under his breath and then reached for the printouts to give them a check over himself. “You’re right! Genetic variation only occurs after pollination. But these plants aren't self-pollinated. They're too distinct from the original sample taken from Mar'i’s attack.”
Barry's voice quivered as he raised a troubling possibility. “Could there be two adult killer plants on the loose?”
“No, it's not that,” Tim quickly replied again, his expression grave as he looked up from the stack of papers. “It's worse.”
Artemis' heart sank. “How could it possibly be worse?”
“The dead seedlings share identical DNA with each other. And every single one of their genes is present in the parent sample. But the parent also has additional chromosomes that all of the seedlings lack,” Tim explained as his eyes traced the text on the papers once more. “The parent had an extra 48 chromosomes.”
Barry's face paled. "48? Are you sure?”
“48? What does that mean?” asked Dick, looking rapidly back and forth between Tim and Barry.
Artemis gritted her teeth. “Humans have 48 chromosomes. The adult plant is half human.”
“Fully human,” Barry corrected. “And fully plant too. A symbiosis.”
“What does that mean?” asked Dick, scared of the answer he would soon receive.
“It means I think Wilkof merged himself with the plant.”

Mar’i lay in the darkness of the car’s trunk, helpless. She couldn’t tell how long it had been since she last felt the sun’s warmth on her skin. She tried to summon childhood memories of Tamaran, of the sun her father had found oppressive and her mother found liberating. But they were distant and blurred, echoes from another lifetime - and another timeline.
As the car rumbled on, she focused on her senses, trying to glean any information about her surroundings. The air was stale and musty, tinged with the scent of oil and rubber. The vibrations of the road beneath her reverberated through her body, a constant reminder of her captivity.
Eventually, the car came to a halt, and Mar’i braced herself as the trunk door creaked open, flooding the confined space with blinding light. Blinking rapidly, she squinted against the harsh glare, feeling the rejuvenating solar rays bathing her, a stark contrast to the cold darkness of her confinement.
Dr Wilkof loomed over her, his appearance now almost normal except for a slight pallor that hinted at something darker beneath the surface. He reached out, his hands enveloping her wrists, which were bound with withered rope. Thick, barbed vines extended from the sleeves of his coat, renewing her restraints and further draining what little power reserves she had left.
As he dragged her up out of the trunk, Mar’i found herself in the midst of a desolate car park, surrounded by nothing but empty space and the looming silhouette of a large hangar. She had nary a clue of where they were.
“It will be easier if you don’t struggle,” he said, his tone devoid of joy or malice, as if he were simply stating a fact. But Mar’i knew better than to trust his words.
As Wilkof led her towards the hangar, Mar’i stumbled along behind him, the vines around her wrists taut like a leash. She tried to reason with him, to appeal to the vestiges of his humanity buried beneath the madness that gripped him.
“You don’t have to do this,” she implored, unsure of how much of his humanity really remained. “The plant doesn’t have to control you.”
Wilkof's eyes gleamed with a haunted fervour as he shook his head, the vines’ grip tightening around Mar'i’s wrists. “I've sacrificed too much to stop now,” he muttered. Those words carried a strange quality,like they weren’t fully his. Maybe it was the plant talking, maybe they were words he had rehearsed to himself enough times for them to become hollow. “I won’t let it all be in vain.”
For a moment, Mar’i was left to wonder what he meant by that. Then she remembered what little she knew about him, and a shiver ran down her spine. (He had fed the rest of his team from the lab to the plant, a grim sacrifice to fuel his delusions of grandeur.*
“No one cared about mild-mannered Hunter Wilkof,” he continued, his voice cracking with bitterness. “The plant promised to make me someone special, to make me famous.”
Mar’i shook her head in disbelief as she continued to be lugged along. “The plant doesn’t speak,” she insisted with a rising urgency. “Its pheromones mess with your mind, make you see and hear things that aren’t there.”
But Wilkof brushed off her words with a scoff. “I don’t care,” he replied, his gaze fixed on the hangar ahead. “I fed the plant like I was told, but the fame never came. I let it eat the only thing I ever loved. But… nothing changed.”
Her heart yearned to find some way to free him of the plant’s clutches, to help him see the light, but she knew well what desperation could do to a person, if left unchecked. She knew how far someone could fall.
“Then I realised… I wasn’t meant for prizes and celebrity,” he continued, deranged. “That wasn’t what the plant had planned for us. It’s just like you said in your Tamaranean fairy tale, the Morning Eclipse and its legend. I knew we were meant for infamy, but just one plant and its keeper wouldn’t do the trick. We needed a bigger family.”
At this point, Hunter stopped, and the pair had finally reached the mouth of the hangar. Mar’i searched through the darkness, but was struggling to see straight at all thanks to the toxic, draining effect of her Morning Eclipse vine restraints.
Wilkof just stared into the darkness, and continued. “I tried taking cuttings, but no matter how much blood, meat or southern exposure I gave them… it wasn’t enough, and they wilted. It wouldn’t tell me why it wasn’t working, and all I knew was that the plant was from Tamaran,” he confessed, his voice growing hoarse with emotion. “So I went to look for Starfire, but she was in space. And then… then I found you. A hybrid like me.”
But throughout Hunter’s grim confession, Mar’i was still missing some important details. “How did you know the plant was from Tamaran?” She defied him, “It doesn’t have a mind of its own, so it couldn’t have told you.”
Hunter smiled. “I used to drive out into the countryside and just leave my car behind, go for these long walks to clear my head when city life got too much,” he explained, a shroud of something resembling peace slowly falling over him. “I always felt guilty for it, reasoning I should have been spending that time in the lab, looking for ways to help people. But this one day, a few years ago now, I realised it was all worth it.”
He then pulled a remote from his pocket and pressed a button at its centre. As the lights of the hangar flickered to life, they revealed a magnificent sight, something Mar’i immediately recognised as a First Class Vegan Star Cruiser - a Tamaranean space vessel from the shipyards of Okaara - resplendent in hues of silver and violet. The ship stood tall and proud, a beacon of extraterrestrial wonder amidst the mundane surroundings of the hangar. But why was it here? And how did Wilkof have it?
He gestured towards the ship with an odd gleam in his eyes. “Suddenly, and without warning, this spaceship came crashing down through the sky just a couple of miles away, out here, where it was just me there to see it,” he explained. “So I rushed over, I searched the wreckage… and that’s where I found it. It was only a sapling, a baby really, and it called out to me. I knew I needed to take it home, back to the lab, back for testing.”
Mar’i shook her head. How was he to have known back then that the plant was pulling his strings?
“I stashed the ship away, knowing its potential,” he confessed. “The ship’s computer confirmed its origins: Tamaran. Apparently it even used to belong to a princess named Komand’r.”
Mar’i's mind raced as she processed this revelation. Komand’r - also known as the tyrant queen Blackfire - was Koriand’r’s sister, and Mar’i’s aunt. Someone she had already come across early in her time in this universe. Then, just in time for him to answer it without her asking, Mar’i happened upon another awful question.
“I got some guys in to make repairs, and another guy to… basically hotwire the thing, before I fed them all to the plant. But the ship won’t fly without one final security measure,” continued Hunter, his gaze fixed on Mar’i. “A pilot with Tamaranean DNA.”
🔹🔹 🪶 🔹🔹
Back in the lab, Dick, Artemis and Tim continued to put the pieces together, now sans Barry who had raced off to join Wally in combing the city for either Mar’i or the Morning Eclipse, not knowing that both were far from the city limits.
“Why Mar’i?” Dick demanded. “What does Wilkof want with her? Her Starbolts could be used to fuel the plant and its cuttings, but that’d only make a difference at night, when they can’t get sunlight for themselves.”
Artemis nodded in agreement. “Surely they can survive a night without sunlight,” she surmised. “So what else would he come to Mar’i for?”
“Could it be her DNA?” posed Tim. “Maybe he has a use for DNA from a Tamanrean.”
“What kind of uses?” asked Dick. It wouldn’t be that, but his mind once again returned to the cloning vats of Cadmus. “No, it’s not that.”
“Then what else could it be?” Artemis sighed, frustrated. All of this analysis, brainstorming and scheming, and they were no closer to finding the missing Titan.
Then, Dick’s face blanched with fear. “She knows the way,” he said simply, his voice barely above a whisper.
“The way to what?” asked Tim, his own anxiety rising.
“To Tamaran,” Dick replied with dread. “A place where the sun shines bright enough for a hundred Morning Eclipses.”
🔹🔹 🪶 🔹🔹
In the dimly lit interior of what was once her aunt Komand'r's ship, Mar'i's heart raced with fear and uncertainty, now strapped into her seat beside the demented Dr Wilkof. The vessel, a marvel of Vega System technology, exuded an otherworldly aura, its sleek silver surfaces shimmering with an ethereal glow. Yet, to Mar'i, it felt more like a prison than a wonder.
She couldn't shake the sense of dread that gripped her. Tamaran, a place she once called home, now loomed before her as an unfamiliar and foreboding destination. She knew of the tumultuous history of this universe's Tamaran, the tales of military coups and the reign of the Orange Lantern Larfleeze, all of which added to her apprehension. The planet had hundreds of Morning Eclipses, but none had ever merged with a sapient vessel before. The killer plants were best survived by being completely ignored, which wouldn’t be possible with an intelligent host scheming and bringing the plants to their vulnerable prey. Could she inflict that threat on Tamaran?
Wilkof's jubilant smile did little to assuage her fears as he spoke. “When we reach the planet - with its gleaming sun - I’ll have everything I need. I'll create more Morning Eclipses, genetically superior ones, and they will bond with Tamaranean vessels to enhance their intelligence. And then there’ll be no more sacrifices, just feeding.”
Mar'i's stomach churned at the thought of being complicit in Wilkof's madness. But she also knew that she was in no position to bargain. And he knew it.
With a heavy heart and a sense of resignation, Mar'i steeled herself for the task ahead and the ship hummed to life around them, hurtling toward an uncertain destiny.
Then, as they quickly hit sonic speed, Hunter turned to his pilot and prisoner, keen to share a thought he hoped would bring her peace. “I want you to know… once we get to Tamaran, I’ll never have to return to Earth again. Don’t think about where we’re going, think about what we’re leaving behind. This is you saving planet Earth.”

“I stashed the ship away, knowing its potential,” he confessed. “The ship’s computer confirmed its origins: Tamaran. Apparently it even used to belong to a princess named Komand’r.”
Mar’i's mind raced as she processed this revelation. Komand’r - also known as the tyrant queen Blackfire - was Koriand’r’s sister, and Mar’i’s aunt. Someone she had already come across early in her time in this universe. Then, just in time for him to answer it without her asking, Mar’i happened upon another awful question.
“I got some guys in to make repairs, and another guy to… basically hotwire the thing, before I fed them all to the plant. But the ship won’t fly without one final security measure,” continued Hunter, his gaze fixed on Mar’i. “A pilot with Tamaranean DNA.”
🔹🔹 🪶 🔹🔹
Back in the lab, Dick, Artemis and Tim continued to put the pieces together, now sans Barry who had raced off to join Wally in combing the city for either Mar’i or the Morning Eclipse, not knowing that both were far from the city limits.
“Why Mar’i?” Dick demanded. “What does Wilkof want with her? Her Starbolts could be used to fuel the plant and its cuttings, but that’d only make a difference at night, when they can’t get sunlight for themselves.”
Artemis nodded in agreement. “Surely they can survive a night without sunlight,” she surmised. “So what else would he come to Mar’i for?”
“Could it be her DNA?” posed Tim. “Maybe he has a use for DNA from a Tamanrean.”
“What kind of uses?” asked Dick. It wouldn’t be that, but his mind once again returned to the cloning vats of Cadmus. “No, it’s not that.”
“Then what else could it be?” Artemis sighed, frustrated. All of this analysis, brainstorming and scheming, and they were no closer to finding the missing Titan.
Then, Dick’s face blanched with fear. “She knows the way,” he said simply, his voice barely above a whisper.
“The way to what?” asked Tim, his own anxiety rising.
“To Tamaran,” Dick replied with dread. “A place where the sun shines bright enough for a hundred Morning Eclipses.”
🔹🔹 🪶 🔹🔹
In the dimly lit interior of what was once her aunt Komand'r's ship, Mar'i's heart raced with fear and uncertainty, now strapped into her seat beside the demented Dr Wilkof. The vessel, a marvel of Vega System technology, exuded an otherworldly aura, its sleek silver surfaces shimmering with an ethereal glow. Yet, to Mar'i, it felt more like a prison than a wonder.
She couldn't shake the sense of dread that gripped her. Tamaran, a place she once called home, now loomed before her as an unfamiliar and foreboding destination. She knew of the tumultuous history of this universe's Tamaran, the tales of military coups and the reign of the Orange Lantern Larfleeze, all of which added to her apprehension. The planet had hundreds of Morning Eclipses, but none had ever merged with a sapient vessel before. The killer plants were best survived by being completely ignored, which wouldn’t be possible with an intelligent host scheming and bringing the plants to their vulnerable prey. Could she inflict that threat on Tamaran?
Wilkof's jubilant smile did little to assuage her fears as he spoke. “When we reach the planet - with its gleaming sun - I’ll have everything I need. I'll create more Morning Eclipses, genetically superior ones, and they will bond with Tamaranean vessels to enhance their intelligence. And then there’ll be no more sacrifices, just feeding.”
Mar'i's stomach churned at the thought of being complicit in Wilkof's madness. But she also knew that she was in no position to bargain. And he knew it.
With a heavy heart and a sense of resignation, Mar'i steeled herself for the task ahead and the ship hummed to life around them, hurtling toward an uncertain destiny.
Then, as they quickly hit sonic speed, Hunter turned to his pilot and prisoner, keen to share a thought he hoped would bring her peace. “I want you to know… once we get to Tamaran, I’ll never have to return to Earth again. Don’t think about where we’re going, think about what we’re leaving behind. This is you saving planet Earth.”

Digital marketing is the use of digital channels and technologies to promote products and services. It encompasses a wide range of tactics, including search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, and pay-per-click advertising (PPC). The primary goal is to reach and engage a targeted audience online, driving traffic, leads, and sales. Unlike traditional marketing, digital marketing offers real-time data and analytics, allowing for more precise measurement and optimization of campaigns. It leverages platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to reach consumers where they spend much of their time. Personalization and automation tools are often used to deliver tailored messages to specific audience segments. Digital marketing strategies can be scaled and adapted quickly to respond to market trends and consumer behavior. The field is continuously evolving, with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality creating new opportunities for engagement. Effective digital marketing requires a blend of creativity, analytical skills, and technical knowledge to succeed in the competitive online landscape.

2024.05.16 12:01 Golden_Shart Tinfoil Hats On: If you have a history of posting long form comments, YouTube will basically shadowban you.
I'd like to preface this by stating that the way I behave on YouTube is the most G-Rated way I conduct myself both on and off the internet. I've kept up to date with YouTube's war on no-no words, dogwater automated moderation, and near decade-long censorship campaign following the adpocalypse & COPPA dilemma and have remained mindful of what I say on the platform for a very long time. I'm proactive about not using bad words, tastefully navigating sensitive subject matters, and preemptively censoring words I think might be flagged by T H E S Y S T E M. I rarely engage in heated discussions on YouTube, as I feel like a lot of commenters are probably kids. I pretty much never use cuss words, my display name isn't inappropriate, and I have zero history of abusive/offensive/inflammatory behavior on the platform. It's also probably worth stating that I do not harbor extreme views on most issues. I do not express any form(s) of homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism, etc. on YouTube.
However, over the past few months, all of my comments have been disappearing - and I mean almost ALL of them. I've seen posts about this issue all over the internet and decided to do some digging to find out what's happening.
Delving into the actual documentation of automated comment removal on the site points to supposed "inappropriate comment" notification website features that I've never encountered or even knew existed:
I looked into people having issues who have received these notifications and was not surprised with what I found: If you receive Community Guideline violation notifications, YouTube doesn't tell you which comment was flagged and almost never accurately interprets your comment's subject matter. The system is plagued with false positives for inappropriate or abusive material. If you unintentionally or unwittingly posted something inappropriate, there is absolutely no way for you to know what you said that was wrong and take corrective action.
What does this all mean? Well, If you're familiar with YouTube, you'll know that whenever a "feature" or policy is poorly explained, hard to get clarification on, or otherwise opaque, it often means there is a hidden mechanism or internal position at play that they don't want to be widely known.
So then I just started commenting other comments verbatim to see what would happen. The single sentence drive-by-gag bot-like Top Comments that are just garbage recycled one liners that add zero value to the platform. Direct quotes from the video, "HE WAS READY FOR ALL THE SMOKE😂", "Nah bruh didn't have to do him like that ☠️", etc.
Those stay up.
Then I would occasionally post a comment I would normally post. A longform response to the subject matter of the video, thoughtful attempts at starting discussions, or actual comprehensive explanations of something. Some examples would be an interpretation of a movie/show scene, my opinion on a music album, or just literally the "thoughts" the video's creator told me to post below lmfao.
Gone.
Don't even show up in my activity history.
There's your YouTube conspiracy tea for the week. Let me know your thoughts.

However, over the past few months, all of my comments have been disappearing - and I mean almost ALL of them. I've seen posts about this issue all over the internet and decided to do some digging to find out what's happening.
YouTube on 'removed/disappearing comments'
The YouTube Help Community/Support forums have a bunch of posts about this that not only don't receive answers, but are locked and marked as redundant duplicates of this "Solved" post - a post that doesn't even address comments disappearing, but simply troubleshoots mobile app cache glitches where your comments won't display.Delving into the actual documentation of automated comment removal on the site points to supposed "inappropriate comment" notification website features that I've never encountered or even knew existed:
Comment remindersI have never once received a comment removal warning notification. I have never received any notifications about my account/comments violating the Community Guidelines. I have never received a notification about my commenting privileges being paused/revoked due to Community Guideline violations. I have also scoured all my emails with YouTube to see if there was ever any notice of actions taken against my account and there's nothing.

Experiment
Over the past few months, every time I leave a comment, I close out and come back later to see if it was removed, then try to determine if certain words I used were being flagged by YouTube as inappropriate slang or dog whistle terms. However, I couldn't identify anything specific in my comments that was problematic, nor could I find any correlation between their subject matter and YouTube's apparent dislike for them.So then I just started commenting other comments verbatim to see what would happen. The single sentence drive-by-gag bot-like Top Comments that are just garbage recycled one liners that add zero value to the platform.

Conclusion
The only reasonable conclusion I have for why this is happening is that YouTube's automated content monitoring systems are inundated with parsing tremendous amounts of data and can't reasonably contend with users who regularly post long comments. On top of this, the somewhat unsupervised nature of their algorithms has led to their bots conflating longer form comments with abusive/inappropriate material for two reasons:- Abusive/inappropriate comments are typically associated with arguments, which play out in longer form, or necessitate long responses.
- The most popular and well-received comments are short.

2024.05.16 11:53 Both_Ad6890 24 [M4F] #Anywhere #Washington Looking for a life partner to chill and exist with
Hey, my name is Max and I'm 24, 5'11'', pretty fit, and currently live about half an hour out of Seattle. I'm looking for a real connection with somebody who also wants to comfortably be their genuine self in the vicinity of another human being without feeling like poop.
Some stuff about me:
Some common deal breakers and what not to get out of the way:
If you'd be interested in getting to know each other better shoot me a message and tell me a bit about yourself and some of your interests and passions as well. Also down to message over discord, the reddit messaging system can be glitchy and non-ideal sometimes
submitted by Both_Ad6890 to ForeverAloneDating [link] [comments]
Some stuff about me:
- Some of my passions and interests include history & culture, exotic plants & animals, reading, various crafts, games & movies, painting miniatures, outdoorsy stuffs like hiking & tide-pooling, psychonautics, and anime
- I'm pretty introverted and usually prefer just chilling at home, cooking some food together, and enjoying a movie night in
- I don't really get shocked or offended so feel free to share anything from edgy humor to trauma dumps if you so desire. I don't concern myself with traditional social norms so just be yourself and whatever aspect of your personality you're comfortable with sharing, I'm comfortable with accepting
- I'm just about as low maintenance as it gets, my wants and needs in life are simple and true
- I'm pretty open. I'm down for anything ranging from thorough socio-economic/geopolitical/philosophical cigar talk to peepee poopoo nonsense topics as well. I'm secure enough in my intelligence to shamelessly be myself and laugh at profoundly stupid shit, and I appreciate someone who's on a similar wavelength
- I'm happy to talk and discuss stuff for hours, but otherwise I'm perfectly comfortable with quietly existing together and simply enjoying one-another's company. Yappers, parallel play enjoyers, and generally quiet humans are all equally welcome
Some common deal breakers and what not to get out of the way:
- I don't want kids
- I enjoy growing and smoking weed
- Pretty neurodivergent, so probably a pro if you are as well but otherwise this may be a con to some people
If you'd be interested in getting to know each other better shoot me a message and tell me a bit about yourself and some of your interests and passions as well. Also down to message over discord, the reddit messaging system can be glitchy and non-ideal sometimes

2024.05.16 11:03 Master_School_3785 "SNUFFLES' JOURNEY: A TALE OF LIFE ON THE MEAT FARM” - BASED ON A TRUE STORY*
Once upon a time, in a sprawling industrial farm nestled amidst towering silos and metal fences, a little piglet named Snuffles was born. Snuffles was small and pink, with a curly tail and bright, curious eyes. From the moment he opened his eyes, Snuffles knew he was destined for greatness.Growing up in the farm, Snuffles made many friends among the other animals.
But life in the industrial farm was harsh and unforgiving. Snuffles and his friends lived in cramped, filthy pens, with barely enough space to move around. The air was thick with the stench of waste and the constant hum of machinery.Despite the harsh conditions, Snuffles tried to make the best of his life on the farm. He played in the mud with the other piglets, scavenged for scraps of food, and tried to stay out of the way of the humans who worked in the farm.
But as Snuffles grew older, he began to notice the cruelty of life in the industrial farm. Some of his friends were taken away for "processing," never to be seen again. Others were subjected to painful procedures without anesthesia, their squeals of pain echoing through the halls of the farm.
One day, Snuffles overheard the humans talking about the slaughterhouse, a place where animals went to become food for people. Terrified, Snuffles didn't know what to do. He didn't want to leave his friends or the only home he had ever known, but he also couldn't bear the thought of staying in such a cruel place.
As time went on, Snuffles watched as more and more of his friends suffered and died in the farm. He knew that his turn would come eventually, but he couldn't bear the thought of leaving his loved ones behind.Then, one fateful day, the humans came for Snuffles. Despite his squeals of protest and desperate struggles, he was loaded onto a truck and taken away from the farm.
The journey to the slaughterhouse was long and frightening, and Snuffles felt more alone than ever before.Finally, they arrived at the slaughterhouse, a grim, imposing building surrounded by high fences. Snuffles was herded inside with the other animals, the air thick with fear and the scent of death. As he stood in line, waiting for his fate, Snuffles closed his eyes and wished with all his heart that he could go back to the farm, back to his friends and the life he once knew.
As the line inched forward, Snuffles could hear the sounds of machinery whirring and blades clanking in the distance. With each step, his heart pounded louder in his chest, the fear gripping him tighter than ever before. And then, it was his turn. The humans forced him into a narrow chute, where he could see the end of the line—a dark, foreboding room filled with the scent of blood. Snuffles struggled and squealed, but it was no use.
In the dark room, Snuffles was met with a blinding light and he felt a jolt of electricity coursing through his body. The shock left him paralyzed, his senses dulled but still aware of the pain. Half-conscious, he could feel the cold steel against his skin as the humans worked quickly to end his life. And in those final moments, Snuffles wished for nothing more than the peace and freedom he had been denied in life.
But alas, Snuffles's story had come to an end. And though his life was short and filled with suffering, there was no happy ending for him.

But alas, Snuffles's story had come to an end. And though his life was short and filled with suffering, there was no happy ending for him.
THE END
\Did you know that every day, roughly 4 million little pigs just like Snuffles are taken from farms and slaughtered so that people can eat their flesh? It's important to remember that animals are living beings with feelings, just like us. By choosing to eat less meat or exploring plant-based options, we can help reduce the number of animals suffering in factory farms. Even small changes can make a big difference in the lives of animals like Snuffles.*#SnufflesJourney #FactoryFarm #AnimalCruelty #ChooseCompassion #MeatFree #AnimalRights #Vegan #SaveSnuffles #PlantBased #FactoryFarming
