Hi, thanks for doing this AMA.

We've seen a dramatic uptick in domestic violence up here in Canada as well due to quarantine. It's being referred to as the "silent pandemic". Women's shelters aren't getting the support they need from the provincial governments, and it's really up to the government workers to hold it together out of sheer empathy, it seems.

What resources are in place down in Florida to help get (usually) women out of abusive environments?

The ripple effect from Covid isn't only people dying from Covid, there are so many lives affected. My hat goes off to everyone helping however they can.

Can you please tell the webmaster at Motherboard to turn off the autoplay on your site? I've never successfully looked at any of the cool articles you guys have because I just escape, full of rage, whenever I can't find those infuriating videos and turn them off.

TBH, I never stuck around long enough to make sure one way or the other, but if I had to guess, I'd say video posts.

Thanks for your response. Without getting too political, sometimes I wish Canada would enact more stringent laws against people who take advantage of our most vulnerable people.

" And it seems like all of your responses have been mostly favorable to the Navy which also seemed a little fishy. "

Coming from a guy who's spent 13 years in the Navy and clearly loves his job. Why are you being so cynical? Let the guy enjoy his job.

And of course it's "recruitment propaganda". His username is AmericasNavy, what do you expect?

I highly doubt a guy who clearly seems satisfied with his job, and is doing an AMA on behalf of the Navy is going to trash his employer. Use your head.
