How do you feel about men under six feet? Women with fake lashes? This week we discuss beauty standards. Jenna complains about the time, money, and effort required to meet society's standards of female beauty. Ibrahim considers plastic surgery. All in all, we remain cynical about the future standards of appearance and how far our looks-obsessed society will devolve.

This week we dive into multiculturalism- What it means for governments and individuals, and the advantages and critiques of multicultural societies. In our intro, Ibrahim discusses the upcoming Turkish election, while Jenna discusses a weird quirk in Turkish culture. We also touch on the narratives of pundits like Tucker Carlson, who claim that a white genocide is imminent.

This city is gross!

This week we discuss the differences of life in cities, rural towns, and suburbs. We discuss our respective moves to New York City, including the benefits and drawbacks of different community types. We also reference a Pew research study on the differences within urban, suburban, and rural communities.
