and Elon didn't call any of the rescuers pedophiles ... yet
He fell ill in one of the deepest caves? That sounds ominous as fuck. What if he found some new bacteria or virus and getting him out is what starts the zombie apocalypse? 😱
Yay he got out!
Cave crawling is akin to mountaineering, in which it shares a lot of techniques. Except with a cave you don't exactly know what is after the odd opening. Ive known some of these people and they are unique. I saw reports that this cave had long vertices, so they had some effort getting him out of there on a stretcher.
Oh no, so he was lost in Erdogan’s wife’s buttcrack? Poor guy!
Why is it that the only insults most men can think of are all insulting or being compared to a woman? It's not 1880 anymore.
I hate the political angle much more - what does Erdogan have to do with this and why does he need to be mentioned in a caving incident?
Can't people just stop inserting their stupid politics into every god damn thread?
"Man drowned in Mississippi" - Well thanks Biden! hurhurhur
So many assumptions here, how old are you?
What did I assume, exactly? That you were a man? Was I wrong?
He def gives boomer vibes.
Thanks, I’ve often been described as wise for my age.
You’re bringing your baggage about gender and men and women to a joke about someone’s asscrack being deep as a cave which has no relation to a specific gender at all. Maybe it’s fat shaming if anything. Grow up. This way you won’t even make it to 30 before going to the Koo koo house.
Wow, misogynist, sexist, and ableist, you sure won the lottery of likable traits.
Now you’re just listing big words you currently apply to stuff, dummy. You’re dumb. I’m wasting my time here
Those are big words? Where are you from? Did you receive any education or picked up a book at all in the last 5 years?
In case you don't know what a book is, they are not used for fire kindling like DeSantis would have you believe.
Good joke
He wasn't just being stupid though, he was part of a team mapping out new parts of the cave.
Yeah this is more along the lines of "researcher working with multinational team falls ill in remote cave" more than "dumb american does dumb thing and needs rescue". Man started throwing up blood and fell into a 3 day semiconciousness at which point he needed rescue.
"Dumb American Does Dumb Thing In Dumb Cave, Needs Taxpayer Funded Rescue"
if I hadn't accidentally seen a news segment with him I'd be on the same page. The headlines never point out the work he was doing.
Yeah I'm ok with tax money going to saving lives.
You can just say you haven't actually read about what happened
He was doing research work and he wasn't stuck because of carelessness, he was stuck because he unfortunately got sick during the expedition.
