This boy jumped for joy welcoming the pope in Lebanon in November and today they pulled his body from the rubble after Israel’s bombing.
Last year, only 5 members of Congress voted with me when I tried to defund Israel, who bombs and kills the innocent.
I can 100% say I regret voting for Donald trump now.
All his other shit, I could somewhat rationalize. But linking arms w/ Israel and going unilateral on Iran?
This is unparalleled hubris and it gives me deep fear of the consequences.
1830: Charles Darwin arrives in Tierra del Fuego aboard HMS Beagle. He encounters the Yaghan people - hunter-gatherers who swim in near-freezing waters, wear minimal clothing, and appear completely adapted to one of Earth's harshest climates.
Darwin is horrified. He calls them "the most abject and miserable creatures I anywhere beheld." Their lifestyle offends his Victorian sensibilities. Surely these "savages" need civilization.
The Beagle crew captures four Yaghan people, brings them to England. They're dressed in English clothes, taught English customs, Christianity, agriculture. They're paraded around London as proof that civilization can save the primitive.
Three years of "improvement." Then they're returned to Tierra del Fuego with seeds, tools, and instructions to build a missionary settlement. The experiment: transform hunter-gatherers into farmers.
Within months, three of the four completely abandon everything. They strip off the English clothes, return to their bands, resume hunting and gathering. The fourth tries to maintain the mission for a few years but eventually gives up.~
Darwin returns later, finds them thriving. Healthy, robust, swimming in icy waters, hunting seals. They'd tasted civilization and consciously rejected it.
The Yaghan who stayed in traditional lifestyle remained healthy into the late 1800s. Average lifespan comparable to England. No obesity, no diabetes, no heart disease.
The ones who eventually adopted European ways and agriculture? Decimated by European diseases their traditional diet would have protected against. Population collapsed from 3,000 to under 100 by 1930.
Darwin thought they needed saving. They understood something he didn't: Their bodies were optimized for their environment and their food. Ten thousand years of genetic adaptation isn't overcome by three years in London.
The "civilized" diet killed them. The "savage" diet kept them thriving in conditions that would hospitalize modern humans.
Sometimes refusing progress is the intelligent choice.
You realize just now that crypto as a whole has been used for shady fuckery since day 1? Lmao, where are all these jerks coming from 😂 what do you think Silkroad was? A cupcake factory? No, they were the eBay of drugs using BTC as a payment. All the dark-web shit including hitmen, terrorism, drug cartels, pedo-mans, hackers, and all kind of sicko shit, all with crypto. Even this fucking space (CT) is full of shit, larps, grifters, criminals, entire companies being criminals. And now you care because """"EPSTEIN FUNDED IT"""" ? 😂
wow had no idea the wv twins were #2 in BTC. Made me go read their backstory. Holycrap, had no idea about the Zuck drama or the rowing. Just makes me more proud to be holding $CYPH
If you took a list of PRs today and showed it to me 5y ago without any context, I'd think that somehow everyone got learning disabilities. And that's insulting to people with learning disabilities because they're actually perfect, while these PRs are by deeply flawed people.
That's how stupid 90% of AI coded PRs look.
The type of shit I ask AI:
Is it bad to drink yesterday's coffee?
A: [it] can safely sit at room temperature for up to about 24 hours without significant bacterial risks

For Keto / Carnivores that want to share in some dessert goodness:
Just have a bowl of sweetened whipped cream. I mean, yeah, often it's real sugar in there but compared to the gnarley crap in the rest of the Cake/Pie it's great (and no tummy fallout for me!)
