  • If you go into someone else’s house, you need to be respectful of their space.

    Many Chinese and Indian tourists regularly trample the alpine flower fields at Mt. Rainier National Park for selfies or just as a shortcut when they get tired of walking on the hiking paths.

    When confronted, instead of being apologetic, they get defensive and diminish the impact of their actions by demeaning American culture and spaces.

    “It’s just some flowers. They’ll grow back!”

    Yeah, maybe. But that will take eighty years and it may not even happen due to climate change.

    These kind of behaviors are what sours locals against tourism, especially when it is consistent across a cultural tourist groups.

    We all need to do better when visiting each other’s spaces, and that starts by owning our cultural shortfalls and poor behavior, with the goal of personally improving our own.

    Ironically, I’ve never heard any complaints about Japanese tourists, as they often arrived well-educated about local customs and behave respectfully.



  • Wikipedia will be a much better source, but my understanding is that psychosis can be a temporary symptom, or it can be a permanent health condition that calls for medical treatment.

    Psychoactive drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, etc. can trigger permanent psychotic health condition on people who have genetic traits predisposed to such conditions.

    It’s like a genetic game of roulette whenever any of us smoke it-- it could be the beginning of a very difficult health condition to manage for the rest of our lives.


    1. Elon and his brother hold most of the stock. He does not need to be the CEO to control Tesla and profit directly.
    2. Tesla are garbage cars that keep getting people killed and injured, even getting trapped and burnt to death inside.
    3. Tesla commits odometer fraud to avoid honoring warranties they sold to their customers.
    4. Other automakers who have been building cars for decades longer than Tesla have superior electric vehicle offerings, and much cheaper prices.
    5. Tesla committed rebate fraud in Canada.
    6. Teslas are one of the most expensive vehicles to insure, because they break down and malfunction at higher rates than other comparable vehicles.

    I could go on and on and on, but the above alone should be sufficient.
