Me, but with these new car headlights that are ridiculously bright and blue.
I get it that you want bright beams, but do you understand how many people are out there driving with night blindness? Old people with cataracts, or just people with nearsightedness or astigmatism, or vitamin a deficiency (alcoholics * cough *), do you really want to risk your life?
As someone who has to drive to work before sunrise, FUCK THESE HEADLIGHTS. I've even seen people with the old style incandescent headlights just having their high beams on as default. People stopped caring about others on the road long ago, but it really accelerated post-COVID.
The combination of this topic and your display name reminds me of the Professor using his high beams to search for Pazuzu.
Pazuzu you ungrateful gargoyle! I put you through college and this is how you repay me?!
I've been wondering if it was just me aging but there does seem to be sharp rise in selfishness after covid. Probably both I guess.
