  • This is how social systems work.

    Forcing minorities off transportation/out of businesses/etc. was also how racist social systems work. Sure, society has improved enough that it is currently more likely to have bad actors be the ones being excluded now, but history shows that socially enforced norms can be used for good and evil.






  • Do you use synthetic, cotton, or wool socks?

    Wool socks help with odor control because of how they wick away moisture and although they advertise synthetic socks also being good at that they tend to get the stinky funk going on. Cotton just holds moisture and gets stinky too, but somewhere between the two.

    If nothing else has helped and you are not already wearing wool socks, I would give that a try. A lot of brands do a blend of wool and synthetic so they might end up being stinkier than 100% wool. Wool is expensive, but holds up really well and is totally worth it.





  • It’s funny people talking about how things are done in the U.S. and giving different answers.

    Yeah, different states have different requirements and processes.

    In Kansas, when I got my original license in the 90s it cost like $60 total to get the first one and ever since it has been somewhere between 10-30 or so to renew every 6ish years or something. Originally you had to take a written test that you could fill in at home. Just ridiculously cheap and no real barriers. We also don’t have any kind of emissions requirements for non-commercial vehicles. The lax requirements for driving and emissions is probably the result of the farming lobby.
