Pas de parenté réelle avec l’écrivain.

Bâtard d’une diaspora honnie. Ne parle pas la langue.

Procédurier chaotique.

  • I agree, people buy cars like this though, to me modern cars are extremely annoying because of this extreme cost-cutting without any thought put into it. They even lack basic functions like dimming the gauge lights that were standard in the 1980s on cheap cars, or turning off a screen completely and still having the steering wheel controls for the radio… turning off ESP for getting out of slippery places that it gets confused by is also a challenge on a lot of cars.

    People have very different priorities from commercial users that need an impeccable safety record and no compromise on reliability, they’re buying a steel box on wheels to get from A to B, preferably in a fashionable shape.

    If you’ve ever nearly died because the car decided a reflection was an imminent collision risk and braked hard on the motorway, you know that cars are way worse than Boeing.

    It’s a social norm that doesn’t really make sense. It is convenient to sell hair removal products but it isn’t the only explanation. I don’t have evidence of this (no sociological studies or anything) but in my mind the repulsion for body hair is also a repudiation of sexuality because it is a secondary sexual characteristic that you get during and after puberty.

    It used to be way more a subject for mockery in the 1990s and 2000s if a woman had leg hair or something, but those times also had “gay” as an acceptable way to demean stuff you found effeminate or stupid. I think there’s been some change since then.
