    Clean your windshield, inside and out,

    Five minutes on a road that gets salted in the winter, and the windshield will be covered in a thin crust left behind by the brine spray from other vehicles. End result is that things will be just as bad when the sun hits you straight on.

    Polarized glasses, as you mention, do help, as well as putting down the visor so you don’t stare directly into the sun.









  • Cat had a habit of licking plastic grocery bags. Didn’t care two bits for catnip, but would go gaga for plastic bags. Well, one day the goober got so into it that she got her head into a bag handle, noticed that something was off, and panicked. So you have this cat sprinting all over the house, running away from the bag that’s billowing and making scary noises just behind her… In the end she started running up the stairs, got the rest of the bag stuck under her paws, and just stood there in self-pity because she’s pinned herself down.

    That’s a strawman argument. You’re attributing arbitrary personalities and intents to Alice, Bob, and Charlie. Governments are not individual people. And even if we ignore all of that, people are allowed to be wrong in the past, if they make good faith attempts to rectify things in the future. Otherwise it becomes eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, and resentment all around.

    That defeatist attitude is how Trump got reelected.

    Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good enough, and don’t let someone else’s good enough become the enemy of “it’s a start.”

    In the political scene, recognizing statehood is the first step, because it becomes state vs state instead of state vs its own people. It doesn’t erase the atrocities that happened, but it opens a door for reparations in the future.
