The etymology or aboriginal is basically "comes from away"; kind of Eurocentric. Indigenous means "comes from within a place" etymologically so while it is kind of semantic it's obvious which one is the better choice. Many indigenous people however prefer 'Indian' because it's how First Nations people are referred to in the Indian Act.

They're certainly not siblings.

I like the anti-corporate sentiment, but this has "pudding fingers" all over it. The not so subtle homophobia and misogyny turned my stomach.

Also, RadioShack in spirit - it's called The Source now and it's on the death knell, but they're still around.

Getting shocked.

I used to help my father-in-law on the farm and he had an electric fencer for the barnyard that was way too powerful for the length of fence it was hooked up to. I knew that; what i didn't know was that it was grounding out on a piece of flashing on the barn. It put me on my ass.

He also has this electric fencing that's made out of rope with small metal strands woven into it. That shit hurts too but in a different way. Maybe because there are more points of contact.

I got shocked doing some wiring last week and it was nothing compared to the electric fence.
