someone quoted baudrillard to me the other day abt how people kept their headlights on in the middle of the day in California as if there were an invisible darkness. Number one people are doing that because they want the car to be more visible so the California drivers don't hit them. This is the most obvious explanation second of all invisible darkness sounds dumb

are they talking about daytime running lights, which are mandated by law?

I'll try to find what year the quote was from

Where are they mandated by law? They're not mandatory in California. You do pay a lower insurance premium if your car has then, though.

Apparently DRLs aren't mandatory in the US. They are mandated by law in new cars in Canada and the EU.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
