People will just say a thing on this site. "Apple pie is bad." "Key lime pie is bad." Presumably they're allowed to drive, or even have children. Makes you think.

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

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.

Much of the South supported the Confederacy, but that only accentuates the heroism of those who remained loyal, despite their environment. A narrative of the “true” South being the heirs of the loyalists, not the Confederates, is exceptionally powerful at damaging the lost cause.
