I'm not sure who this guy is, on first sight I thought it might be a pseudoscorpion, but on closer inspection it does not appear to have pincers - so it seems to be some kind of spider.
The US government publishes a yearly list of online and physical marketplaces specialized in trading pirated and counterfeit goods, which is... convenient, so you can avoid them.
This list includes Sci-Hub, Cuevana and Greenhills Shopping Center in Manila, which is pretty eclectic.
Imagine being a pre-Inuit wandering into the north-american wilderness, the first human to ever do so.
Behind you are the blood feuds of the tribes of the old country, and before you virgin forests, lakes and prairies, teeming with game, fish, water, flint, food plants and medicinal herbs - anything you could need, with no other human around for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Paradise must have been real for some brief moments in time.

I am an absolutely horrible person, just a dreadful human being. But there is a part of me that has schadenfreude when climate denier, big oil worshipping, fascist states have bad shit happen to them.
It just sucks ass that the poor bear the brunt of this.
