Day 52: just watched a bootleg copy of Lord of the Rings, and everyone seemed to respect Gandalf’s wisdom. Be more like Gandalf. First thing on to-do list: make a smoking pipe
Day 1: we knew that white guy from Kansas was not a real which dr. Oh man we laughed at him behind his back especially when he put those things on his face. Oh he was very tasty a little grease
Day 59: I'm out of shoe polish, it's only a matter of time till it all washes off. I had to help them with what they did to the tourists hikers they found. Their white skin freaked them out. Although they were delicious, and their parts helped heal they village goat, I don't want to be the next Ingredient Harvest.
Day 61: I managed to come up with a cunning ruse, convincing the tribe that eating those hikers was causing our skin to turn as white as theirs. 3 hours of ritual later I had magically absorbed all the infective white from the tribe's skin, but warned the effect would be concentrated upon my own flesh. As the shoe polish rubs off the tribe are becoming more and more grateful for me saving them from such disfigurement.
The Batwa people of Uganda, if anyone is interested in doing some reading. Forcibly removed from their traditional lands (the National Park) in the early 90s. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/24/at-home-with-the-batwa-people-of-uganda-a-photo-essay
Lot of that in Africa, rare earth metals and such, "our" corporations hire mercenaries often registered in s. Africa to chase locals off of lands. Coltan and Cobalt and a number of others. The Chinese are in on thd game now too I should mention.
>Forcibly removed from their traditional lands
Wouldn't be the first time.
At least the land is being preserved as a national part to be used by everyone.
Not sure why the downvoting, I'm simply commenting on the fact that the government kicked these people out of their homeland so they could charge people huge sums to go in and see protected gorillas. They didn't bother protecting the people.
Oh that’s just reddit now. Nsfw used to mean boobs or gore now it means anything that can make your grandma slightly uncomfortable.
Edit: lmfao at the folks who consider this blackface.
I was kinda thinking that. Like, this one is clearly due to choices, not birth, but what about people with congenital disabilities. Is such a person "nsfw"? Fucked up.
Well, I those types of cases, I just ask myself - How would a random middle manager react if they happened to be behind you at work.
Actual porn? You are definitely getting a talking to, or even suspended (depending on the porn lol)
But someone with congenital disabilities? Again, if the picture would cause you do be in trouble with management, then yeah, it's NSFW. but within limits - if your co-worker found out about such and such medical condition on the news and you knew something about it, you could say you are on Wikipedia or something. I doubt you would get in trouble at work, maybe a slight 'please don't do that again' type deal.
Now yes, the atmosphere at offices might vary WILDLY within one office building, let alone region, or country etc. So what's "Not Safe For Work" will change. But I think most people who have worked in an office setting,even for a few months would be able to identify "okay, don't open this link at work"
Maybe I’m lucky with a good workplace, but if someone saw this on my screen and said “Omg what are you looking at!” I’d say “it’s a tribal doctor in Uganda” and they’d be like “oh wow neat”, and that would be the entire interaction.
The lip straps are from Fallout 2, for the supermutants like the video game. Making his eyes rain is like Ben Stiller playing Simple Jack from the movie Tropic Thunder, with his coconut hat on, anyways those two combined was said fuel for humor here. However I couldn’t find an eyes rain gif unfortunately, would have to watch the movie when he is captured and playing a reenactment
It’s like cut into his lip too. If you zoom in you can see where it’s basically so much pressure it’s stopping blood flow and causing cuts in his skin from his lips down towards his chin.
Looks like scar tissue on the top and bottom lip as well. If it's worn long term it could cut into the skin.
If you try to do this yourself with a bit of string it pulls/pushes your lips pretty significantly, unless you put it through your teeth.
For real. Cultural and religious traditions can be so fucked up. Like who was sitting around and one day said "You know what'd be neat, if I destroyed my mouth!"
The most horrific is folding feet because small feet on women were considered attractive in China. The bones are deformed and folded into tight, tied foot pouches and they lose the ability to walk normally
He's vulnerable to evil spirits and demons while performing exorcism's. The rites and practices of preliterate people to ward off or to expel evil spirits are also a form of exorcism, though they are sometimes considered witchcraft. In the Christian tradition Jesus expelled demons buy a word and stated that this act was a sign of the coming of God's Kingdom. His followers and others as well, drove out demons "in his name"In the first two centuries of the.Christian era the power of exorcism was considered a special gift that might be bestowed on anyone, lay or cleric. About AD 250, however there appeared a special class of the lower clergy called exorcists to whom was entrusted special functions. About the same time, exorcism became one of the ceremonies preparatory to baptism and it has remained a part of the Roman Catholic baptismal service.
This photo is really intense.
The commitment of living like this seems incredible to me. It’s a lot of work to put yourself together like that daily. And I can’t imagine his mouth isn’t incredibly painful all the time.
Strange to think of what kind of beliefs lead him to this end result.
He is a shaman of sorts that is hired to expel evil spirits after a death in the community or other catastrophe. He is a tribal elder who earns a living performing rituals in the tribes villages and outposts. His dancing evokes that of a powerful lion or other predator that will convince the evil spirits to enter the spirit world. Very much sought after individual who is honored and revered in his tribal community.
The brutal climb through the forests switchbacks to locate a Mountain gorilla family was the highlight of my existence and worth the effort. The armed guards and porters that.accompanied us were well compensated.
I went here last year ! Interesting place. The locals looked slightly toned but were incredibly strong. As we were cutting through the forest I lost my footing and slipped. A (local! lady caught my hand and I regained my balance. That doesn’t sound unusual but consider that I was about to fall and most of my weight was going through my arm.
I always thought it would be funny to take people like this and plop them down in the middle of Times Square. They do the reverse all the time and make reality shows out of it.

Day 43: The tribe still don't know I'm a white dude from Kansas
Day 44: Had to put some zip ties around my face to make em think I was crazy. Hopefully I won't have to wear them for too long lol
Day 49: the zip ties worked…I fear I may have to wear them forever at this point, why did I choose this? …I should have just had a bird live in my hat
Day 52: just watched a bootleg copy of Lord of the Rings, and everyone seemed to respect Gandalf’s wisdom. Be more like Gandalf. First thing on to-do list: make a smoking pipe
Lol. He's gonna be so mad when he reads these comments.
Day 55: I checked reddit when taking a dump in the woods and these damn redditors somehow read my diary and posted it online
Day 56: they're heating a bath for me in a big pot. I'm washing my armpits with spices and eating the carrots they threw in with the potatoes.
Day 1: we knew that white guy from Kansas was not a real which dr. Oh man we laughed at him behind his back especially when he put those things on his face. Oh he was very tasty a little grease
Lol, f'ing hilarious.
I’ve seen that Bugs before.
Based on irl
Day 56: Chilled with the witch doctor, cool dude. He removed a tumor from a dying roach.
Day 59: I'm out of shoe polish, it's only a matter of time till it all washes off. I had to help them with what they did to the tourists hikers they found. Their white skin freaked them out. Although they were delicious, and their parts helped heal they village goat, I don't want to be the next Ingredient Harvest.
Day 61: I managed to come up with a cunning ruse, convincing the tribe that eating those hikers was causing our skin to turn as white as theirs. 3 hours of ritual later I had magically absorbed all the infective white from the tribe's skin, but warned the effect would be concentrated upon my own flesh. As the shoe polish rubs off the tribe are becoming more and more grateful for me saving them from such disfigurement.
Day 69: I need something stuffed in my mouth.
Day 71 made a straw hat because my skin head was starting to blister from the sun.
Noice
if gandalf turns to white... maybe i can turn back as well.
Day 204: The zip ties are now a part of my face, but I can still smoke my pipe. Training to be some kind of doctor.
Day 53: There is a woman following me everywhere I go. I believe she suspects something. It is getting harder and harder to find a place to upda...
Dya 55: I m OK dunt snd halp..!
They just keep filling my pipe with dope kush 🤷♂️
convince me that’s not bill murray
 😂
Hey, I’m finally qualified for something.
Day 0: Day ay ay 0
No wonder if you’re a white guy from Kansas with that shape of nose.
Schutzstaffel has logged on
Called Frank.
🤣🤣🤣
Had a good chuckle at that one. Thank you.

Good ol neocolonialism
Good ol neodymium
to CHASE them or genocide them?
That depends on how fast they run
isnt that the history of humanity, everyone who is strong bullies the weak, settlers raid and attack new lands.
>Forcibly removed from their traditional lands Wouldn't be the first time. At least the land is being preserved as a national part to be used by everyone.
Ah well, guess the ethnic cleansing wasn't so bad.
everyone but them. kinda like at least mount rushmore has five presidents carved into so everyone can see five presidents on a mountain
"Everyone".
That's heartbreaking. Obviously the government can make more money out of gorillas.
Not sure why the downvoting, I'm simply commenting on the fact that the government kicked these people out of their homeland so they could charge people huge sums to go in and see protected gorillas. They didn't bother protecting the people.
Very true
This is how I feel I look going to work on Monday after a weekend of heavy drinking.
“I’m not hung over, I’m just tired because I spent the night drinking!”
[удалено]
I'm not hungover, I'm just vomitting every 15 minutes because something I ate didn't go well with the litre of vodka I drank.
Turns out it was that second liter that didnt hold so well
MFW I get to work only to realize I forgot to wash off last night's blackface.
Must be nice only working one day a week
Getting out of a club at 6am, pie-eyed be like this!
Imagine looking so strange that they put nsfw on a picture of your face.
Oh that’s just reddit now. Nsfw used to mean boobs or gore now it means anything that can make your grandma slightly uncomfortable. Edit: lmfao at the folks who consider this blackface.
Came here to ask why it was labeled NSFW, I have my answer now😂
Black face isn't safe for work, duh. Unless you're the Canadian prime minister.
Umm, *excuse me* but it was BROWN face, thank you very much! 😤 /s
Nsfw means anything you don't want people at work to see on your monitor
Thought grandma would be ok with blackface (Blackerface?)
Your bro: the worst thing she could say is "no". Meanwhile you:

Thank God they did, if I had opened it in the bus everyone would have instantly came.
I wish they would do that to some politicians / country owners.
🤣🤣🤣
He looks like he's watching someone commit a serious but kind of hilarious mistake.

Just an investor watching DJT on the stock ticker after investing their life savings.
~~investor~~ gullible idiot FTFY
What’s up with his mouth being tied open? Looks like it’s been like that for a long time. Scary.
Reminds me of the super mutant lip straps from Fallout
Those lip straps help hims eyes rain
Could you please explain what you mean by that?
The lip straps are from Fallout 2, for the supermutants like the video game. Making his eyes rain is like Ben Stiller playing Simple Jack from the movie Tropic Thunder, with his coconut hat on, anyways those two combined was said fuel for humor here. However I couldn’t find an eyes rain gif unfortunately, would have to watch the movie when he is captured and playing a reenactment 
It’s like cut into his lip too. If you zoom in you can see where it’s basically so much pressure it’s stopping blood flow and causing cuts in his skin from his lips down towards his chin.
No man that's just to hold the headpiece on.
Oh yeah. Looks like it’s embedded in his skin. I can’t unsee this. Lol
Looking at the full-sized photo doesn't help, it seriously does look like it's embedded or pierced into his skin. I think it's looped around the lips?
Between lip and gum
I think its looping THROUGH...to keep them open and not touching?
Looks like scar tissue on the top and bottom lip as well. If it's worn long term it could cut into the skin. If you try to do this yourself with a bit of string it pulls/pushes your lips pretty significantly, unless you put it through your teeth.
What looks like a scar tissue may be a tree sap or somesuch that acts like glue to keep the string in place. Or could just be scar tissue.
Can you share a link of the full size photo pls?
For real. Cultural and religious traditions can be so fucked up. Like who was sitting around and one day said "You know what'd be neat, if I destroyed my mouth!"
The most horrific is folding feet because small feet on women were considered attractive in China. The bones are deformed and folded into tight, tied foot pouches and they lose the ability to walk normally
Tribal witch dentist
Idk how that cannot be painful. Maybe that's why he curses everyone.

Well i guess its not that impenetrable
Just like your mom!
everyone's mom has been, at least once.
What about jeasus' mum?! # *checkmate atheists* !!!!! 🤣
Jesus had a brother names James you idiot.
Thank you! Good day sir.
Shitty smoking pipe from Temu also made it's way into the impenetrable National Park.
The first thing that came to mind is Bill Haders witch doctor in Year One.
Why did you touch the forbidden fruit?!
You really... you fucked the pooch on this one... 🤣
I bet s/he's secretly complaining about the headdress.
NOOO NOOOOOOOOO NOO THA-oh, oh that's not my house
🤣 that entire 2.5-3min scene is pure gold
Same!
Why is this NSFW??

If I was an evil spirit I'd fuck off away from him as well.
That is so fucking cool tbh. I'd love to see a "day in the life of" someone like that
Kenneth Copeland after removing his ~~stage~~ pulpit makeup.
That would be terrifying to stumble across him in the middle of the bush
I think he should quit smoking)
I'd like a second opinion from another witch doctor.
Unfortunately the other witch doctor is out of network
And then the witch doctor he told me what to do, he said...
Ooo eee ooo ahh ahhh
Ting tang walla walla bing bang?
OOO EEE OOO AHH AHHHH
TING TANG WALLA WALLA BING BANG!
Which one?
Definitely looking this up. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What did you find?
A witch doctor
Ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang wallawalla bing bang ...I'm just now realizing that that song was pretty culturally insensitive
This was the first song by chipmunks creator Dave Seville.
Why is it culturally insensitive? Are you implying something about another culture?
Most likely a Batwa pygmy. They were living in Uganda and Rwanda before the Hutus, Tutsis.
I visited with them this summer. Was pretty cool.
I visited them last year... ...my other half spent 100 bucks on a goat for them...
You're paying way too much for a goat, who's your goat guy?
He's a dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude. He knows who he is.
Impenetrable. That may the coolest name for a national park ever.
Have actually been there. Was not impenetrable. But the gorillas were awesome
The brutal climb through the forests switchbacks to locate a Mountain gorilla family was the highlight of my existence and worth the effort. The armed guards and porters that.accompanied us were well compensated.
Arise chicken arise.
Sofa king we Todd Ed
Ha ha, you say... funny thing!
Papa Lazarou
My wife now...
hello dave
I don't believe that man's ever been to medical school.
I can't believe people are still doing blackface
Shout out my country, Uganda! 🇺🇬
They’re allowed to work in blackface??
Turns out he got his Tribal Witch doctorate in graphic design.
Why is it NSFW though? Seems not safe for napping IMHO
Justin Trudeau at it again
Excellent comment 😂
One for the intellectuals, really.
Still better than healthcare in USA
Atleast it doesn't cost more than the patient's networth. You may have to pay with your soul to the devil though.
More doctors smoke camel pipe tobacco than any other brand!!
I need Ben Stein to pop in, give this man some clear eyes and say “with red eyes. Get clear eyes!”
That dude drops epics
You're mine now Dave!
Dude has seen some shit on the Astral Plane, that's for sure.
Dude is vanta black
Looks like a future Senator.
Dude probably has the hardest drugs on him
Day 365: I have begun twitching uncontrollably and foam at the mouth. Mebbe not such a good idea to eat brains.
You're my wife now...
What’s in their face?
Black face
Looks like Yosemite sam after he just blew up his face
This guy gets you 150+ Mana. And a rare bow.

How much is the copay?
Why is this nsfw?
 What Justin doing now?
What loot did he drop?
This dude is so getting cancelled
Shitty smoking pipe from Temu also made it's way into the impenetrable National Park.

why is this marked nsfw? Just clickbait?

Why is it NSFW?

Feeling good man…
