Put her in the swimsuit edition and give her some commercials and she's the end-all, be-all.
There are 10,000 random youtube/tik tok/etc chicks just as hot.  But they're anonymous.  So they're magically not as hot.

Pop culture indoctrination.
Hey, I get it. Maybe the girl you like down the street is just as hot as Cindy Crawford. But maybe not.

Every graduating class in every school in the country has a Cindy Crawford.  
But,
does she want to rely on her looks as a career?
does she get "discovered?"
does she work her way up while being poor?
does she catch a big break?
does a famous photographer/editor think she's special?
does she get in front of enough eyeballs to become a "thing?"
does she get lucky?
.
Cindy Crawford wins a popularity contest, hands down.  
Her story is special.  Her looks are not (when compared to models, etc - of course).

Sigh.
Every school with a certain population threshold.  
Let's set it at 1,000.  

You are exasperating.

There was one girl in HS who was runnerup in the Teen USA pageant, and she was very pretty, and smart, but a couple others were as well.

Terry something was her name.  She had a close friend who won the HS beauty pageant, Terry didn't enter.

You know what makes me mad?  I should make a ranking.

I was musing yesterday, I went to the track and ran my butt off and my watch said "Great, you burned 600 Calories.".  Only 476 were due to the exercise apparently.

Some poll asked folks if they were better drivers than average and 76% said they were.  I have a problem with the 24%.

Folks will drive out to see "Fall colors" when they can usually see them by walking around the neighborhood.

Cars go by on occasion not only blaring horrible "music" but also with no mufflers.  

Not knowing how best to help a homeless person.

The number of years I spent getting an "education" and how little I knew once I had it.  I suspect I still don't know much, but don't really care.  

Apathy.

Someone on the internet has an opinion that differs from mine but because I always feel I must present my own opinions as facts, it's making me mad!

Internet slap fight ensues.

Wow, opinions man.  Killer.

Not sure I get the point of arguing about something that's objectively not objective.

What's an example of an entirely objective matter about which one can argue?
