{{Good news: I’ve figured out some more efficient image-mirroring techniques over the past year–“Classic” blocks and upload-by-URL are your friends–and inline images are now only very mildly annoying. Although I *will* still have to be careful to stay under the total media-storage limit: I’m at 97.7% right now.}}
The slight possibility that God is waiting until all the peoples of Earth have heard the gospel before he unleashes the apocalypse makes contacting the Sentinelese a completely unacceptable x-risk
For further evidence, consider the kabbalistic implications of “Sentinelese”.

No I don’t, I have different spatulas that are best for different situations! I have the spatula that’s easy to clean and perfectly flat but slightly too long to be ergonomic and the spatula that’s really ergonomic but slightly bent.
1) I will fight you for the honor of my pasta not-bolognese, and 2) you’re just saying that because you can’t use a spatula to cook rocks.

For some reason this morning I was thinking about l’esprit d’escalier (or, no, we’ve started calquing that into “staircase wit”, haven’t we?), and this one post I read maybe a year or three ago.
I think the blogger (I don’t recall who it was) was talking about being “good, giving, and game”: that when negotiating a sexual relationship, it’s good to be open to doing things that, while you really don’t *mind* doing them†, you don’t find erotic yourself (but your partner does).
And the example they used was how they once encountered a man whose primary fetish was painting women’s fingernails while they were under sedation. And this, they said, is someone who is probably only going to be satisfied in a relationship with someone good, giving, and game: after all, women in the audience, would *you* get off on having a man paint your fingernails while you were under sedation?
And I don’t think I ever commented with “Well, actually…”, and I kind of regret that.

(To be fair, there’s still a GGG aspect there, since I don’t care about fingernail painting. And while in *theory* being sedated is hot, in practice sedatives tend to come with side effects (unconsciousness, amnesia, non-lucidity, sometimes all of the above) severe enough that it’s not worth taking them recreationally. (though in fairness to *that*, I *am* pretty sure the question was phrased as “would you get off on it” without reference to “and would you be willing to do it IRL”, and the 5 – 10 minutes or so on dimenhydrinate where you’re high but haven’t lost consciousness yet *are* definitely erotic) And it would make a good segue into a related negotiation point of “sometimes kinks are compatible even when they’re not pointing at the same thing”. And–I think this was the thing that actually stopped me, since at the time I probably still *could* have responded–it felt like something of an asshole move to fight the hypothetical when they could just as easily have picked some other obscure fetish such that nobody in the audience *did* find it appealing.
But it was still kind of a prime comedic moment that they picked *that* example when talking to a group including *me*.)

†Not to be confused with sexual acts you’re *grudgingly* willing to do, which are generally a bad idea.
