    Until the idiots all complained about it being ‘creepy’. Ever since the tracking completely continued, but no longer with any benefit to us.

    Great job idiots. Why people just don’t opt not to use features they find ‘creepy’ I’ll never understand. They are only satisfied if they bring it down for everyone.








  • Skin whitening is not unlike tanning in the west, an indication of status/wealth. In India lighter skin shows you don’t need to work outside. In the west tan skin shows you can take vacations.

    And in both cases people fake it with creams and tanning salons. And it becomes so entrenched people don’t realize why they are actually doing it. Just like makeup and clothing choices.

    Yes, there are problematic racial undertones…and in general is definitely fucked up…but I think it’s more complicated than just a race thing. I mean, people in the West are literally exposing themselves to cancer causing UV to fake the look of having recently taken a trip to Hawaii or whatever, which is also kinda fucked up.
