They have survived just fine without outside help, and acted hostile towards most attempts from outsiders to do so. They don’t need or want our help. They don’t need our technology.
Visiting North Sentinel Island is prohibited by the Indian government. Idiots still do it anyways and usually end up killed.
Leave them alone. They are living their best lives already. No need to interfere. No need to drag them into the misery of the modern world.
It’s not too late to edit your post and welcome answers from women, while specifying which topics you don’t want included.
You may be surprised to learn that women can have interests besides house fix up and makeup. Men can also be interested in those channels. Why not specify that you don’t want those types of recommendations, rather than ignoring answers from women entirely?
Getting shot anywhere you go
1984 and Brave New World
Cancelling Spotify will not only save you money, it will help to save music. They’re shafting smaller artists, paying peanuts to the rest, and flooding the platform with AI slop so they don’t have to pay as much to real artists. Fuck Spotify.
Bandcamp and Soundcloud are what I mainly use.
Basketball. Same everything, except you have to dribble the ball with your forehead.
Tarzan
Animorphs game from the Animorphs website, back when the internet was new
Chess Master 5000
I played TUNIC fairly recently and I also love and recommend it.
Yup, it can add some nice colour, but besides that there isn’t much point. Thanks for the celery validation.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
My older cousins got me into it, and they were the coolest.
My first playthrough took months to finish. I would just roam fighting every enemy, cutting every bush, charge into every tree, sprinkle magic powder on every living being to see if they would transform. I loved that it felt limitless in the secrets and exploration. It’s definitely the main reason I’m so into the Dark Souls games as an adult.
Raw celery. Most people seem to say it has no flavour. To me it smells and tastes similar to vodka and makes me sick to even think about. It’s also kinda squeaky on the teeth which is unacceptable. Cooked in a soup or whatever is fine.
Cabbage rolls. Specifically that combination of ingredients has made me sick by smelling it in the past, though it’s not as bad now as an adult, and they do taste good. Cooked/boiled cabbage in any other context never bothered me.
Pickled onions. I love onions and can eat them raw, but I couldn’t even finish one mini pickled one due to the resemblance to stomach acid, taste and smell.
The Fortune Teller shop music is so good.
What is this weird feeling that I’m feeling?
Appreciation, maybe? There were books before the internet, but I think it’s no contest that the internet is the best resource for information that has ever existed. Pre-internet people didn’t have FOMO because they didn’t know what was coming.
FWIW I don’t think it’s weird at all to feel that way. I grew up when the internet became accessible to everyone, and I would not want to go back to before then despite the new problems it poses.
Thank you. I’m a mega-loner hermit and where I’m going is a very small town. If there’s a place for me in the community there I’ll give it a shot, but even if not, I still think I’ll be a lot better off than I am now.
Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it’s hard to see much of a future - there isn’t one here for me. It’s unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I’m paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I’m out this summer.
