  • To be fair, Asians are both gifted genetically with regards to skin and aging (thicker dermis, more collagen) and Culturally.

    Culturally, a lot of Asian groups are serious about skincare, and a lot of Asian cuisine is rich in Vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and low in saturated fat.

    This is very unfair with comparison to Americans who bawk at the idea of sunblock and vegetables, and treat saturated fats as a dietary staple.


  • Well that makes the problem even more blatantly obvious…the problem is social hierarchy. It’s impossible to have equality and hierarchy simultaneously…they are mutually exclusive.

    They (the ruling classes) are vastly outnumbered, yet they manage to gain control over the masses below them, such that we must support them or the whole thing crumbles.

    They’ve got the supporting class believing that we need them…but really that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    The problem is, though, as soon as one ruler is gone, another replaces them, and that one is equally corrupt. And the cycle repeats.

    But conversely, I don’t see how a non-hierarchal society could function, because that implies there must be some sort of order, mediation, and enforcement, which automatically means that some people will have authority over others, no matter how you slice it.



  • I had to rent a car from Enterprise during a mild snowstorm.

    I picked it up the night before and brought it home (work paid for the rental, I didn’t want to put miles on my car).

    They had filled up the wiper fluid with water, so my wipers wouldn’t work. Frozen solid.

    Swung by the rental agency on the way to my trip to complain and swap out the car.

    Next car was fine for like 30 minutes but then it stopped working again. Frozen solid.

    I guess some idiot decided to top up all the cars with water. Which doesn’t work so well in the wintertime.

    ETA: for those who don’t know driving in the snow…you often need wiper fluid. Especially when the road has a mist of salty, sandy water on it from melted snow + sand/salt trucks.
