It’s a meme. And yes I'm a physicist. I understand that my headlights are in the visible spectrum. 

No, it’s getting worse: factory LEDs have a light color which is much more irritating than old-style halogens, and when they’re aimed right inside your rear window, well, then it’s a big problem.

It’s worse, no question. The asshole designers of the HD versions (looking at you Ford and Chevy 2500 and up) seem to think that making sure the headlights are best for everyone at the absolute highest point on the front end, right at the hood edge. The headlights on semi trucks are lower than those fucking things.

Does the “B” line directly above it mean that headlight heights are going to be standardized, too? Trucks and SUVs that have their low-beams up near the hood have made driving at night down-right painful! There’s no reason why they need to put the low-beam up there! 

It’s not you. They’re really bad in some models. Especially Ford hd trucks. I’ve flashed a few that have blinded me in my lifted 4Runner. They’ve gotta be horrible in a lower car. But fuck em. If they’re binding me - they get my x-ray level brights. My regular lights are properly adjusted OEM projectors.

I feel like I’m being blinded more and more frequently, from behind and in front.

Is it just me, or are things getting worse as the latest generations of pickups hit the road? Just in the past month or so, I feel like I’m being blinded more and more frequently, from behind and in front.

She’s fantastic in “Mom”. I remember writing it off as it was coming from the Chuck Lorre stable, but it was unafraid to go to deep, dark places that let Faris and Allison Janney (and the rest of the cast) REALLY flex their acting chops, both in black comedy and outright emotional brokenness. 

Anna Faris is really amazing. She needs a better agent. An absolutely fearless actress. I don’t get shocked by scenes in films very often but she had one line in Observe and Report (Why you stopping?!”) that made me audibly gasp in the theater. She should be at the same level of Ryan Reynolds & Seth Rogen right now.

As a cyclist, I have transitioned about 90% of my rides indoor via trainer and training app. After my kid was born, and several near misses including getting hit by a car while running, it was time to mitigate unnecessary risk.

Counterpoint: Garlic mashed made with buttermilk rule the table. Use red potatoes and leave the skins on for even more rustic goodness.

There are other dishes I’m not a fan of such as the sweet potato abomination that is loaded with sugar and topped with marshmallows.

It's one of my biggest pandemic pet peeves. It's crazy how little people understand about the idea of ventilation, which seems fairly simple. "But it's outdoors!" So was every building before you put up walls and a ceiling. 

Seriously. We haven’t earned events lifestyle back yet. All the vaccine got us was, at best, a closer to normal day to day routine.

Looking at the responses, I suppose I did. But I genuinely didn’t think it’d be necessary.

What sucks is that those cops that can recognize that their nerves are frayed or are starting to have PTSD or other mental/emotional effects from their job are not always given the proper outlet to retire early and leave the force. I know one particular cop (friend of a friend) who went through a tough situation. A…

“was standing a bit too closely to the road.”

“This happens all the time” sounds like an argument to hold more dipshits accountable for their dipshittery, not less.

Great points. As a 40 yr old, I didn’t want to go too much further back than my own perceptions, but you’re right....not a new movement.

Because that’s the image the rich have worked hard to cultivate
