I'm surprised you even offered to do it for him given the astronomical chances of something going wrong. I'd have taken one look at the truck and the board, put the cash in my pocket, said "Enjoy your new bike" and walked back inside.

It's good that it worked out relatively well for you though :)

Shot full of arrows is an unusual way to die these days, but the story has so so much more if you’re an insufferable anti theist.
Guy repeatedly tries to land on island full of hostile aboriginal people. Island and inhabitants protected under every imaginable law to prevent outside influences ruining their unspoilt way of life.
Family of guy appears in news to ‘forgive’ the islanders for killing their child. Do you feel it? The shiver of anticipation? BOOM: he’s a missionary!

He wrote he was "doing this to establish the kingdom of Jesus on the island... Do not blame the natives if I am killed," the source said

This entire island has almost no resistance to any modern diseases because it’s kept deliberately isolated: think of the islanders arrows as natures vaccines, if it makes you happier!

I guess he was hoping to convert a solid bunch of them as quickly as possible so they were fully prepared to be accepted into the lord's warm embrace when they inevitably die in droves from whatever hosed up diseases he's inherited resistances to and was carrying around like some hosed up force field

No discussion of the Sentinelese is complete without mentioning that the reason they're so hostile to outsiders is that back in 1880, when they were still just terrified of outsiders, British naval officers kidnapped an elderly Sentinelese couple and four kids; the elderly couple died (probably of those diseases you mentioned) and the kids were sent back, but ever since the Sentinelese have shifted from terror to "gently caress you, you're not kidnapping and magically murdering any more of us".

The Schadenfreude is on me for watching this video a couple of times to try and catch the rant and figure out why the gently caress you posted it.

Its just a guy explaining meeting procedure.

e: drat YOU!

poo poo, I posted the wrong video, my bad! The guy who filmed it made like 20 different videos of the meeting so it confused me a bit. Also the schadenfreude is still there cause the town council president lost his re-election over this

It's full of rich white people and you can feel it as soon as the plane sets down in PDX

you guys barely have any signs in different languages there, almost everything is in English

walking down the street in Portland, OR when you're from anywhere else in the US is like walking into a big-rear end privileged college dorm. it's just young white people as far as the eye can see, and businesses catering to those sentiments

you gotta search for the POC peeps and businesses, and you can literally feel their absence in the streets and communities. My husband is Latino and was like JESUS CHRIST WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE

Portland, OR is literally the whitest place I have ever been, even I was uncomfortable with all the white people and I'm white!

it is an earned reputation

Sadly, she did not. She came in second to last and from what I hear, she will likely be the first to go next election (so 2020) or will just retire as no one else wants to hear her poo poo.

She was also my fifth grade teacher, and I can confirm on a personal level she's batshit insane.

Gab is the twitter for 'free speech supporters'- on other words, people who were too toxic even for Twitter. That said, between crypto apparently turning on them and Gab's own ban on lolicon it may seem that some of them might not even have this safe space :unsmigghh:
