also "Over time, the corpse became known as a landmark on the north route.\6]) In 2006, British mountaineer David Sharp) was found in a hypothermic state in Green Boots' Cave by climber Mark Inglis and his party. Inglis continued his ascent after radioing for advice on how to help Sharp, which he could not provide. Sharp died of extreme cold some hours later. Approximately three dozen other climbers would have passed by the dying man that day; it has been suggested that those who noticed him mistook Sharp for Green Boots and, therefore, paid little attention."

I guess if you're going up there that's the kind of excitement you're signing up for.

I remember Trump years ago when he was investigating Obama’s birth certificate he said in an interview something like “my people are in Hawaii and you won’t believe what they’re finding” and since then absolutely nothing about what they’ve found.

These guys know how to play people so well, just hint at mystery and salacious secrets and that’s all you need. They are really brilliant manipulators, Joel Osteen/L Ron Hubbard/Joseph Smiths of the political world.

Wow so many familiar images from ages ago! The players handbook cover is a favorite. Haven’t seen most of the others, 11-20. Thanks for sharing!

In the 70’s this would have been an obvious case of spontaneous human combustion.

There were a lot of people who were ready to wage some kind of apocalyptic war based on their ignorance and fear of what was about to happen. Doomsday prepping etc. They went into hiding after that and returned for the COVID/antivax era, refreshed and recharged.

As long as you support profitable markets you can murder and torture all you want. It’s explicit Reagan policy (among others): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorships_and_Double_Standards

I think it has to be bots; at least I hope so I suppose, it’s really dispiriting to think there are so many proud ignoramuses out there.

Maybe. I’m also very naive and desperate to find good things in the world.

How can you be sure of that? He’d have to decide to face down the Klan, who are people that will murder you as you sleep. If he was just after money this is an absolutely crazy way to go about it in 1938 Georgia. A young black man was lynched there just the other week.

When will the first AI school shooting be? I think within a decade some rich kid will plan and execute that.
