I drive a subcompact hatchback. It's itty bitty. The roof of my car is equal to the hood of some of these gigantic trucks nowadays. It SUCKS when they are behind me and all I see is blinding lights.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

my family usually does ham on christmas, but we also do crab legs for new year's because they're in season and that's when we can afford them
it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).
I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.

so i realized i haven't come out on here about it but I've realized i'm grey-romantic. Means I don't really understand dating because it takes me a whole lot to get to the point where I'd consider someone as a romantic partner. Things don't go in the normal progression for me.
