So, if we don't follow lane markings, we're ticketable, but for a lot of major roads, there are NO PROPER lanes! Lanes appear and disappear without any logic.

Signs are obscured by other signs and posts, and are placed so sparsely / discreetly. Implementing this without establishing proper groundworks already shades even the most compliant motorists.

Given the "hybrid" system here, how will the cameras / analytics override violations caused by enforcers who force a car to keep going / turn during a red light? When recording lasts 24h on standard vehicles, how can one contest a "forced violation" that happened, say, weeks ago?

Implementing something advanced and costly when the basic building blocks and structures are not in place can easily complicate and make situations pretty hairy.

I'm a serial hobbyist with a recent fascination with eye make-up. I plan to use this Palette as a stepping stone to practice and learn more, and get it out of my system, before buying other brands.

I have looked into CBeauty and hage swatched at Colorist / KKV. While I was also eyeing Cheeryep, the colors I needed are in 2 separate palettes, but are both present here, although the pigmentation may be a bit different. Customizing my own palette will cost almost 3x the price of one.

My CBeauty friend swears by Ucanbe and how its pigments really stick and last, without being too chalky, and I could tell it's pretty accurate when I swatched.

I know the major point away from supporting Cbeauty has a lot of political, ethical, and social consoderations, but that can be said for everything China made. At the very least, it's Cruelty-free.

The colors I needed the most are its blackest black, dark red, red, and fruit colors. While there is a local palette from Fashion 21 that has the same red pigment, I wanted to have more fun colors as an option.

I rarely use makeup, but have made some good base "investments" for occasions where I need to meet up with a client / have meetings onsite. But I want to mix up my look for some time, attributing this to midlife crisis, but hey, we do what we do to entertain ourselves.

I go out thrice a month, mostly for errands. I feel great when I attempt to dress and look nice when going outside. I find doing pre shower makeup looks fun, after all I'll wash it off immediately anyway. But beyond that, I do not see this as something long term.

So please- talk me out of this palette, this brand, this interest-- I really want to buy it, but my hesitation springs from how long, and how often I'll actually use it. Is there a local brand that has the same pigment and stay, that is equally cruelty-free, and corruption-free?

Thanks!
