  • For five minutes every year. It would make barely any difference to my life.

    The other way around sounds great at first - you'd have tons of free time to do whatever you want, and you wouldn't age during that time. But nothing would function because time is frozen. No internet, no electricity for listening to records or watching a DVD. You could not in any meaningful way interact with your world. A year of this followed by five minutes of real time would surely drive anyone insane after a while.

    If we're being really real, both ways kill you the first time you try them because your body would cease to function.

  • I'm not saying this is the entire problem, but we need universal vote-by-mail and/or to make election day a federal holiday. Low-income folks have the least leeway to miss work to vote, and from what I understand many poorer areas are underserved in terms of polling locations.

  • For books: The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf.

    I've never read it but it sounds interesting. Here's the synopsis from Amazon:

    The bestselling classic that redefined our view of the relationship between beauty and female identity.

    In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and professional success than ever before. Alongside the evident progress of the women's movement, however, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, she argues, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife. It's the beauty myth, an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty."
