I'm still convinced that the aluminum in deodorants are not safe either...

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

Half of the cars (okay 25% ish) in Nevada using California plates to save on insurance... I hope this will help this trend.

Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: "A gentleman can settle the bill later".

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won't lie.

That sounds like a special scenario.
Tho I'm not sure if a book needs a narrator it can be still called a book instead of a theater piece or voice play.

I like Google tts. I tried Samsung's one and I just couldn't find a good pitch/tone that I liked from it.

I think the best audiobook is text to speech.
I prefer to not filter any stories through an other person. I want the raw data from the book, without any other feelings and impressions added to the original.

It is escapism. Romance usually has very few things that's real. I mean that most romance stories are more alike to a fairytale than reality.

Most movies and books are 98% predictable with the well-known cliches. And that makes them work. Beig wealthy is just an other thing that makes it going.

Most girls were raised on the price charming idea, and a rich, wealthy and emotionally available person fits the bill.

Reality of barely making rent and having no money to fix your car or even just daily struggle to find childcare for a date would break the dream.

When you are watching romance you want the fuzzy feels, the safe environment that everything going to be alright and happy ending is guaranteed. Love, money, heath and safe environment - with tons of loving friends and family - now that's what people want to dream of.

I think once I saw a web browser that made websites look like its code. So you were looking for bugs while browsing.
