There was a lot of fuckery that went on.

For example Mao decided that communist occupied China wasn't making enough steel. So he had all the peasants make homemade smelters in their villages and had them make pig iron instead of y'know. Farming.

In short. Mao was nuts.

They think they can get away with this behavior because they have been doing exactly that for decades.

As for why they think like that. When you bring someone up in an environment like the house of saud (where they never have to face any sort of consequence as a result of their actions) then you get people who will continually push boundaries until consequence is imposed.

Islam. (And semi-antiquated Christianity) both have enforced gender roles.

The reasoning may sound stupid (read probably is stupid) but is used and believed nonetheless.

Well TiL of another really strange and semi-rare medical condition.

For something so robust our bodies can be so fragile.

You mentioned energy drinks being completely off the menu. I'm guessing for then caffeine content.

Is there anything else (I'm guessing alcohol) that you can't partake?

Pretty much.

Removing the app isn't going to change a bloody thing. Not even close.

Changing the actual 'cultural' motivations and factors behind the existence of such an app would take Alot of effort and work (as well as the acceptance of some realities)almost no one is willing to do.
