i’m assuming by now you’ve all read about the christian missionary who was killed while trying to convert the uncontacted indigenous north sentinelese tribe in india – which is, in fact, illegal, because the tribe has had absolutely no contact with the outside world and is therefore incredibly vulnerable to foreign contagions and diseases – but what a lot of stories are leaving out is that the guy actually spent several hours on the island, long enough to speak with the members of the tribe and “sing worship songs to them,” before members of the tribe killed him. and he brought along a backpack with some personal possessions, which remained on the island and were handled by members of the tribe. which is to say he fully could have unwittingly infected the tribe with some lethal disease that could wipe all of them out. what kind of narcissistic sociopath.
“Police said Chau had previously visited North Sentinel island about four or five times with the help of local fishermen,” journalist Subir Bhaumik, who has been covering the islands for years, told BBC Hindi.
oh sorry it’s actually worse than i thought, he went to the island multiple times with multiple other outsiders, each time increasing the possibility of exposing the tribe to foreign contagions
A source with access to handwritten notes that Chau gave to the fishermen to pass on to a friend said that Chau described taking scissors, safety pins and a football as gifts to the tribe.
In his notes, the source said, Chau wrote that some members of the tribe were good to him while others were very aggressive.
“I have been so nice to them, why are they so angry and so aggressive?” the source quoted Chau as saying.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were at my house party and all they did was stand in the corner and blink in sync with each other. At one point I saw Mary-Kate put a cigarette to her mouth and take a long drag, then Ashley blew out the smoke.
When u look at OP but this time it’s not one-time-i-dreamt
to help with decision making when going on a date, my bf and i created a list of 20 restaurants we like. 1 being ihop (as a joke, neither of us actually like ihop), 20 being our favorite steakhouse, with the rest in no particular order. we roll a d20 and go to the corresponding place
after i wrote the list down, he goes “roll it, let’s go to dinner tomorrow night!” i got excited, he got a die out, and i fucking CRIT FAILED and now we’re FORCED to go to ihop tomorrow because both of us are too stubborn to back out omg
im currently on the phone with him and im saying “what time you wanna go” and he’s all “to ihop? what time are we going to ihop?” omg he just keeps saying ihop to emphasize how dumb we are
okay but this is the cutest and most real shit i’ve ever seen.
The rolls are meaningless if critical failures don’t come with consequences.
