I just fail to understand how they maintained so minimal contact with the outside world for thousands of years and stayed primitive. It just doesn't align with how human societies are expected to behave and even in pre-historic times primitive humans kept migrating and moving around to other locations for various reasons, food, meeting other peoples, discovery or sheer curiosity. In fact, the only thing that kept humans in place was some degree of civilization and advancement. Primitive humans are supposed to move around as nomads, the same way animals do.

I just think something's off here. Their island is not so far off the other islands or the mainland where they could be exposed to some civilization. They are supposed to KNOW that other peoples exist too, and other places too, since they got visitors from time to time. Do they not want to discover what is the source of some different people coming in and in big ships? Why do they seclude? It just doesn't make sense to me.

I'd suggest that there could be some sort of a deeply ingrained belief in their culture or religion of some sort, that leaving the island would curse them, so they are not permitted to, and maybe the big chefs do not allow anyone to leave as they are strictly obedient to these beliefs and all.

I'm just wondering the psychological aspect of this. "They want to be alone" is not the answer as we know from history that humans moved a lot even when they were primitive. I'm just contemplating on why they are not curious, not want to discover other places, or just do not want to migrate.

Do you think it's possible for the NSI to host the World Cup sometime in the future? Is there a possibility?

I'm thinking about the possibility that they might have gone extinct by now after the last contact with Chau and catching some sort of a virus/disease from him. Maybe they were already low in numbers and that's why they were hostile to him. Remember that Russian youtuber who walked on the beach last year whistling to them but no one showed up.

No contact has been made since Chau, and after that we had a coronavirus period which we don't know if they ever caught it or not. Other peoples in the andaman islands reportedly tested positive for covid, given that they had a very weak immune system even for the easiest diseases, they could have been eliminated completely if covid somehow reached out to them.

I'm wondering why no one thought of low-flying a drone over the island, especially that last Russian vlogger could have done it last year since he made it that far but to no avail.

Hello, I'd like to have some advice on what I can do and how I should proceed. What I want to do is enroll in a 1 or 2-year Japanese language school, but I want to keep my current remote job that I'm working at US time at least until I settle. So, my job will start at like 12 AM and end at about 7 AM. I see that almost all Japanese classes offer 13 PM for thel latest lesson start time. I think I can manage it somehow because I really want to do this.

I don't want to live in a metropolitan city, I want to live in the less crowded places, preferebly in the northern part like Tohoku area and pick a language school there. I'm also planning to rent a car as well.

My income is around $,1700-1,800, do you think it's enough to get by? I'm thinking of switching at some point after I feel comfortable enough and find some new opportunities there. I firstly want to go there for a month or two, then visit some schools to see how they do and all.

Where should I look to find affordable places to stay? I don't want shared rooms but I can do with a single room, doesn't have to be fancy and all.

If you go to my profile, you'll see that I've shared stories of all different experiences of me hanging out and spending time with girls bu none of them ever sees me more than a friend. It just doesn't happen to me. I'm doomed.

I only wanted to be loved and given a chance, I don't know what's wrong. The problem is they don't reject me from the beginning, they always seem like they are interested at first but it always turns friendly and they make me feel like I'm a terrible person for harboring romantic feelings for them. If it was about my looks, I had instances where some random girl at a nightclub told me she liked me and another girl also confessed but things never went anywhere serious with them.

I'm 30 now. I take girls to cinema, arcade, swimming, I meet them irl and online. Look at my backstory, they always seem interested at first, hang out with me, but never reciprocate when I confess. I feel so worn out. I want to cry but I can't because they are all used up from going through the same *hit over and over again.

I'm a bit bitter at this night time because I found out that a girl I have been playing games with everyday sees me as a friend. We were spending like 10 hours average a day playing competitive and two-player games.

I just can't do it. I'm stuck in this situation. It hurts so much because each time I can't help but think I will escape but never happens.

I'm so tired of life.
