They’re not supposed to be rear-facing headlights.

Blindly backing up in the dark is how you hit/run over things. Back up lights are supposed to provide enough light so you can see where you're going.

The sample for "kids dance party" wasn't something I ever thought I'd hear again.

Here's one, though several others offer the same functionality.

Custom mode:

Easy: use a user agent switcher that uses blacklists. Mine only spoofs chrome for youtube.com.

The Dems have run relative leftists in the past: Bernie Sanders was on the primary ballot in 2020 ... and lost.

If you want to blame anyone: look at our fellow "voters". Asking my under-30 coworkers if they voted in the primary and/or the general election was depressing as fuck.

It isn't "terrible", it's ugly because of purely aesthetic design choices: specifically that Fiat Multipla style "forehead ridge". It's a styling problem -- not a form factor or price point one.

It's great Citroën is making a small, cheap EV ... but why did they make it look like a cross between a Fiat Multipla and a pug?

That thing is ugly.

A private company is absolutely more efficient than a government. The boss simply says "this is what we're doing" and that's it -- it's just a question of what goal they're efficiently pursuing.

The problem is that intelligent, empathetic, and selfless people rarely rise to those positions. The few that do usually get pushed out of business by ruthless assholes.

Or the adblock could buffer the video and play it on a delay ad free. People will be fine with doing something else for a minute.

Better yet, have it done in the background -- particularly for new videos on channels you're subscribed to.

It's a lack of negative reinforcement. Normal people face negative reinforcement every single day: if you screw up you lose something. Relationships, jobs, money, etc.

After a certain amount of wealth the negative reinforcement starts to disappear. You don't need to give a shit about what "little people" think when you can always find an audience that agrees with you. When people will put up with your shit because you're the one footing the bill. When expensive mistakes are pennies to you.
