If you read my second sentence you’ll see it was just more about my humorous interpretation of the title that was written.

Fine might be a better word option here instead of pay. I was reading this title and wondering to myself, why would someone pay so much to pee in soup.

Probably nothing or join in.

Native Copper does naturally occur, especially in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

America likes to romanticize the past even in the way they approach teaching history in schools. They don’t put in explicit words, the true nature of horror of war and death but instead make it palatable for children. Because we grow up hearing stories of war under the guise of heroism, and gallant men. We lose sight of the nameless and faceless dead in wars. They exist only as numbers in a page and nothing you actualize in your mind. I feel if we taught with honest and explicit recounting of events things would be better as there would be no appetite for war. One thing that always stood out to me is how we learn about the forced migration of indigenous peoples out west. In the US we learn of it as “The Trail of Tears” and my god if that isn’t the most saccharin romanticized way to describe a holocaust. Call it what it was the forced death march of indigenous people. See when you change the language even though we’re talking about the same thing the internal response is very different to those two characterizations.

This was the first thing I checked too, everything says leans right in their reporting and doesn’t shy away from that fact. Definitely propaganda machine.

So I did a class on the art of the video game and MoMA (museum of modern art) has a number of them in their collection. There is even a Wikipedia article on it. Wikipedia Article

Called it. Soon all we’ll only be able to play baby games like Elmo’s big adventure puzzle book land, or something like that.

Back in the day when I was a teen, I was cooking the time clock at work. Got asked about it on one of the occasions I had and corrected it before they could check it. The time clock we used didn’t log adjustments and everyone had a password that had the ability to adjust the time clock. I’m almost certain I wasn’t the only one doing the same thing. I was more surprised they couldn’t figure out access levels for the thing. Tbf it was a pretty old POS system.

lol, yeah, I stopped it from happening with this magical thing called “lying.”

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.

Straight guy.

Then a bunch of awesome gay shit!

“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?

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.
