I don’t know enough to be able to extrapolate anything from it, but sounds like there’s a lot to unpack for those like you who can.

I’m from Washington and I’m surprised we’re not higher. In the winter it’s dark during both morning and evening rush hour, meaning most people are doing their commutes in the dark. It can feel pretty dangerous sometimes.

I think they have this in a Thai cookbook I have. The guy called it 'strip club fried rice" iirc

You’re not wrong, but I’d still encourage everyone to celebrate the small victories. If we wait for perfection it may never come.
