Why would he quit when he’s part of the cover up.

Oh well, I guess it’s great the US is part of the ICC and has huge sway with what happens there. Like could you imagine trying to tell something you’re not even a part of what to do.

Because I suspect most of the rich and famous are on that list and both (dems and rep) are now blackmailing the people on the list for money.

I feel like this should spark revolution. God forbid the working man have something nice. This is proof that you can make a change, but without support/approval of the elites they just pull some bullshit like this. I hope Missouri replaces every single person in their legislature, senate, and capitol, and they should feel lucky that loosing their job is all that happens to them.

“Mysteriously” is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting in this title.

It’s not that I don’t believe you, but extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence. Is what you found that extraordinary?

Thoughts and prayers

You know, I was kind of expecting like some sort of poisonous vegetable or fruit that was put on as a garnish. I was not expecting lead fucking paint.

Your first point, do they remain uncontacted forever? They have been contacted several moments through history once in the 1880s by an exploratory survey. In 1991 there was an attempt to contact them and understand their language. But the people of the island repeatedly warned people off. And so India in 1997 made the decision to make no contact with them going forward and to actually protect the island from contact because they have had such a history of violence towards people that have washed up or stranded themselves on the island.

Is it an ethical thing to do? I think so, only in the sense that they’ve made it very clear to outsiders that they do not want to have contact with us. It’s obvious that they’re surviving just fine. They’ve probably figured out how to live in balance with the island on managing resources etc. It’s clear that they’re doing fine. I don’t think the outside world owes them contact. I think the outside world needs to respect their decision to be left alone.

Should we give them modern technology or medicine? No but again I just point to the fact that they’re doing fine on their own. If anything further contact with the outside world only further endanger them because we have the immunities too many different illnesses and diseases that they may just not have.

I’m not a philosopher by the way I’m an artist actually I’m just giving objective fact here. As far as the outside world is concerned, they are protected people. The Indian government has made it part of their territory and have made the decision to protect that island and those people. I guess my point is like the outside world doesn’t owe them anything.

Was there future? I suspect they’ll just continue to live on this island until a disease arises that wipes them out or environmental conditions worsen that they have to make the decision to leave and make a break for the mainland. But the fact is we know they have been living for centuries on this island with relatively no problems. During the great Malaysian tsunami there was concern and worry that the people may have been swept off the island or the entire tribe killed. But quickly after the tsunami aerial survey showed that there was activity on the island. So obviously they were able to survive that.

I honestly think their biggest threat is the outside world to them just diseases alone would probably decimate their population. If contact were to be made, I don’t expect them to really change their way of life. I do think it’s really interesting from anthropological position. I do think like these people give a window to our past, ann opportunity for us to understand our own survival through time. I think any study in that regard just has to be done from afar and respect them for the people and life they live.

My words exactly.

Steam summer sale, and yet I fall for it every year. Doom collection still sitting in my library collecting dust.

Dang it, you’re right.

Do I have an investment opportunity for you, you can buy in for the low low price of a billion dollars.

So does that just mean I can claim that I’m an AI company and need to download all this copyright material for my “start up?”

Ugh, god he would do that too.

Na, 10 bucks says it’s Elon he saw how much mileage he got out of Twitter so why not? Just think of the new damage he could do with TikTok.

Could they stop the war mongering I swear to God, Iran‘s been a week away from building a nuke since the 90s.

My mom doesn’t know how to save an image to her phone or iPad, so she will use her camera on the phone to photograph something on her iPad to send to my aunt.

I personally would start oldest to newest just because they might reference something from an older show and so starting at the beginning, just helps give you context for stuff later on.

But I guess it also kind of depends on the podcast too. I listen to a news podcast and some days I just don’t feel like listening to it and so I just skip it. But that’s only because they might be covering a topic. I’m not interested in listening about.

Signing it now just to spite piratesoftware.

I just think of it as a bit of fun.
