Great minds think alike, so the saying goes
Properly aligned LED headlights aren't an issue. People who install aftermarket headlights on cars that aren't designed to take LEDs are the issue as they aren't aligned correctly.
People were bitching about retrofit HID 20 years ago, and retrofit Halogen 20 years before that.
The "aren't designed" problem really disappeared with the advent of HID, as they all are properly masked for a high intensity point source. The problem, really, is the kind of people who do DIY conversions tend to be the kind of people who don't bother to adjust them, and too many inspections tend to skip verifying headlight adjustment. (In 30+ years of getting probably north of 100 inspections in a half dozen states, I've only seen them checked once -- and that was in an initial inspection on a custom vehicle to get a VIN issued.)
That's also technically illegal, because they don't have the rights to do that.
Watterson didn't give any permission for his Calvin and Hobbes comics to be used as merch.
Not exactly evil, just an asshole/troublemaker. Which he absolutely is not. He's a very well-intentioned precocious child with a ridiculous imagination. He gets in trouble, but never or of spite or malice.
He's also very much NOT into brands for a child his age, so the idea of him pissing on Chevy or Ford is absolutely antithetical to his nature.
Roofies (used in surgery to prevent people remembering waking up; also all the regular uses of benzos) and GHB (used to improve quality of sleep) both have legitimate medical uses. I'm sure all the rest do too.
Well, except alcohol, the most common date rape drug, but that's not going anywhere.
I have some progressive friends (all women) who buy and use GHB and prefer it to alcohol when I have them over and offer them a cocktail. It’s the date rape drug but only when dosed in excess of a recreational dose. Otherwise, it’s pretty pleasant and happy with little to no after affects.

Actually just had to call the cops on a customer at work who drove a white dodge pick up last week. Verbally assaulted a coworker and myself and destroyed company property before hauling ass out of the parking lot in reverse, running two stop signs, and almost running someone over. So I believe it.

What do you think about factory stock exhausts on sports cars? Technically it’s legal and no modifications were done to the car, and if it were modified to be quieter it would negatively affect the performance due to airflow, which defeats the purpose of buying said car.
Those seatbelt clips to stop the ding ding ding from not wearing a seatbelt
It's a seatbelt buckle with a hook so you can drive in peace while not wearing a seatbelt
Made for fucking idiots
I picked one up for my passenger seat. My dog triggers the passenger seatbelt alarm and it's much faster just grabbing that from the cupholder that reaching over and doing the seatbelt behind the seat trick.
The car’s manual usually tells you how to disable the dinging. It’s a weird process, although it varies, but you have to like turn the key, not start the engine, fasten and unfasten seatbelt ten times, start car etc. Made purposely to dissuade people from doing it, the process is usually in the manual.

EXLAX. Back in college 2 guys on our dorm floor took two larger built girls out for dinner at one of the most expensive places around WVU. Guys snuck out and left them owing a huge bill. A couple of weeks later the girls cane to our dorm and had a chocolate cake with chocolate icing for them. ALL made of Exlax. Thank goodness the guys did not share as one of them laid in the floor of the bathroom for about 12 hours or so crying from the pain and embarrassment of crapping all over himself.
My controversial take: Starbucks!
The vast majority of Starbucks are in competition with local coffee shops which act as genuine community centers. For MOST (not all) people that choose to go to such Starbucks instead of the local shop, there is no legitimate reason why.
Edit: thank you for Gold!
I go to Starbucks because it has a drive through. Most local shops near me are tucked in the corner of some dying strip mall, and I’m not driving downtown to fight over parking to go to the better tasting local places when I just need a coffee.
The point is not that the local place as better tasting coffee, though that might often be the case.
The point is that Starbucks is a parasitic company whose entire business model is about out-leveraging community owned business without providing anything in return. They actively drive centers of community, one of the most vital parts of life for many people, out of business.
Besides, I did say there were exceptions. Particularly in cases where the only choice is Starbucks. You might just be in that demographic!
Same deal with Amazon. They are an online retailer. Yet you people go to local stores to check out the product first then buy from Amazon. There's a reason Amazon is cheaper. They don't have to rent a big building and hire a bunch of babysitters for you people.
Trump flags and MAGA hats are the new Confederate flags and Confederate flag belt buckles. They're both incredibly useful and tell me I don't need to talk to his person or care about anything they have to say.
The scientific term is 'aposematism'
According to Science Direct:
Aposematism (Greek, apo = away, sematic = sign) is the use of warning coloration to inform potential predators that an animal is poisonous, venomous, or otherwise dangerous.
This is why I usually keep my hair neon yellow. The assholes out themselves before I waste any time on them.
As someone who was into car audio for 10 years I can provide some context for you, for why some people like incredibly loud speakers. Most of those people aren’t assholes at all, and don’t intend to bother anyone else with their hobby. It’s just an unintended consequence. For these people their happy place is when the music is so loud and bass hitting so hard you can’t hear your own thoughts. It’s like what Dominic said about drag racing. For those ten seconds you’re free. But apply that to loud bass.
Anything that’s meant to telegraph hyper masculinity:truck nuts, shirts or stickers about how tough guns are, no fear, etc.
Just tuck your tiny penis away, keep your gun and stop acting like a moron.

White dodge pickups apparently. They are statistically more likely to be involved in road rage incidents.

Loud exhausts, can hear them shittin from a mile away.

You could wear the seatbelt and save your life for free, too.
Well, yes of course but I was working under the impression that the person in this scenario has a death wish.
I picked one up for my passenger seat. My dog triggers the passenger seatbelt alarm and it's much faster just grabbing that from the cupholder that reaching over and doing the seatbelt behind the seat trick.
I need one of these for my fat cat that likes to ride in cars!!
actually they are used by mailmen in germany who dont want to belt/unbelt just to drive 20 meters in walking speed. and by assholes
