I use coconut oil on myself, which has an spf of 4. So, every four minutes I reapply coconut oil to all parts of my exposed skin. Luckily, I found a bunch of coconut oil for sale at Ross dress for less once and I bought 20 gallons of the stuff that day. I don't leave my home without a gallon jug of coconut oil.

Google is actually responsible for most of the smells. They have been planting what are known as "stupid tech nerd stink stations" all over town, spouting bad ideas, smells, and general uselessness all over the city. It's a real problem. They don't contribute to society in ay meaningful way, and now they're using the equivalent of the 1980s toy "stink'ums." Rumor has it they were upset that there wasn't literal human shit all over the streets like in San Francisco, so they're trying to recreate a comfortable environment for themselves. It's also why there is a rise in homelessness. Without people suffering all around them, Google just can't operate with efficiency. Human suffering is joy to the average tech worker.

Honestly PA has lots of problems. I do want our coastline back. Delaware doesn't exist. The Johnstown flood tax needs to go. I do think PA is better culturally than most states (I feel this way about the northeast in general, and the original 13 more broadly). PA was founded directly because of one man railing about the right of jury veto, and pissed off the king so much he sent that man to the colonies with a sizeable chunk of land just to get rid of him. I love that.

It's not that I think PA is necessarily better than the US as a whole, though. . . Just that the US as a whole is ridiculous and I don't feel allegiance to it in the same way I do my home state.

Because I'm a Pennsylvanian first and am American second. Also, because it is technically illegal, but so is putting the us flag on merchandise, or clothing. .. changing the colors of the flag (blue lives matter flags are illegal flags.) A whole host of things. "Flag code." There are many laws governing the proper use of flags and they are so often violated I violate one myself for fun.

I'm advocating getting a passport (from the federal government) that provides MUCH more benefits at roughly the same cost as a "real id," something that is nothing more than a scam, disenfranchising good Pennamites by the strong arm of the federal government. It is a feckless, absurd, unnecessary identification card. You are advocating what exactly? Less power at a local level? Get a grip, buddy.

Plenty of states regular identification cards were deemed acceptable by the federal government while others were ruled to be nothing more than scraps of paper with the scribbles of criminals on them, and those "people" are being required to purchase secondary identification cards. Florida drivers licenses, as an example, are considered "real id" by default in the feds eyes, yet Pennsylvanians are being held over a barrel

Step one: Get a passport if you don't already have one. Step two: do not get a REAL ID.

It's unacceptable that the federal government does not recognize identification issued by the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as "acceptable" identification, and we have to get some sort of a different ID card above and beyond our normal drivers licenses and state id cards. Pennsylvanians are not second class citizens and we are not a second class state. We are the keystone state and we need to start acting like it.
