Elon Musk's Starlink has connected an isolated tribe to the outside world — and divided it from within.

Marubo people becoming hooked on social media and porn.  :rofl:

I guess there you have it.  Internet access destroys societies. :lol: 

Quote"When it arrived, everyone was happy," said Tsainama Marubo, 73, sitting on the dirt floor of her village's maloca, a 50-foot-tall hut where the Marubo sleep, cook and eat together. The internet brought clear benefits, like video chats with faraway loved ones and calls for help in emergencies. "But now, things have gotten worse," she said.

QuoteAfter only nine months with Starlink, the Marubo are already grappling with the same challenges that have racked American households for years: teenagers glued to phones; group chats full of gossip; addictive social networks; online strangers; violent video games; scams; misinformation; and minors watching pornography.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

I mean, if they were that isolated, where did the cell phones come from?  :lol:

They probably just received their "immigrate invade the US" package from Soros.

In my reading adventures, I found out that in Iraq and Afghanistan that gear on a military aged male was a dead giveaway the dude is NOT getting his life right and is most definitely not headed to go feed the homeless. :rofl: More often than not he's cruising on a moped or in his .50BMG equipped Hilux.

I've been saying that for 20 years.
It removed accountability and gave everyone anonymity.

Even worse, it gave everyone the false belief of anonymity.

I think Some name brand companies send their over stock items to third world countries rather than sell them cheaply in America.

Just about every major sports league finals (MLB, NBA, NFL, etc.) all print shirts for both teams as winner and then donate the loser shirts to third world countries.

Well Just to be clear.

I'm sure there are a few 3rd world countries that won't wear "Cleveland".

I mean , you have to have some standards. :D

Yeah you won't find them wearing any Michigan teams either because you have to actually get to a final game/series/bowl for the shirts to be printed.

:waiving: to Jeff.
