It’s important to think about the time scale that evolution works on. These changes happened very slowly 50,000+ years ago.

The regions near the equator where people still tend to be lighter skinned have been in contact with and interbreeding with lighter skinned people for thousands of years, plus many migrations and invasions.over the past 10,000 years.

I feel you. I’m 6’4" and the biggest hurdle is pants and shirt length. Unless they have tall sizes all shirts become halter tops if I even slightly raise my arms.

Pants are a pain in the ass too because I need at least 34" length for them to not be capris on me. Most companies just make all their pants 32".

There is a reason 90% of my clothing has come from Eddie Bauer for the last 15 years. I’m not particularly brand loyal. They just make clothes that fit me, and most companies don’t.

It’s the 6th grade. The girls are taken to the gym for a presentation about menstruation. Us boys are put in a room with this cart to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

These AI corps really are determined to unnecessarily ham fist “AI” into everything, whether it makes sense or not.

When you have a new shiny hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I was once on a Greyhound bus where a guy was loudly talking on his phone, but not on speaker. The issue was he was just repeatedly saying:

“Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Lemme tell you… Listen… Listen … Listen lemme… Lemme tell you … listen”

For half an hour.

Finally a hero yelled out: “Listen! Lemme tell you to shut the fuck up!”

He said “lemme call you back later” hung up and shrunk down on his seat as the whole bus clapped.

Playing tennis.

In jr high I had some friends who played football say my other friends and I on the tennis team were gay for playing tennis.

I had to point out to them that the tennis team was co-ed and we regularly made out with our female teammates on the long bus rides to tournaments.

While those on the football team were constantly manhandling each other, showering together and slapping each other on the ass to say “good game.” But the tennis team are the gay ones?

They got mad, but dropped it.

First, go up to the first tree you find and start punching it until wood cubes come out. Then craft a stick with the wood cubes. Then use the stick to beat the first sheep you see to death until cubes of meat pop out. j/k

Do what superkret & nemo said in their comments. Don’t worry about food, focus on finding water, and getting rescued.

Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.

As many have mentioned the real reason is to suppress votes by making the experience miserable.

The cover story for the rules is to prevent campaigns or other groups from “buying votes” by giving people in line food/water in exchange for a promise to vote for their candidate.
