I’ll start:

Idaho - when people think “racism in the United States” their minds go to the Deep South. The Deep South is absolutely pretty bad, and there’s of course the whole history with the confederacy so it makes sense that’s what we think of, but Idaho is let off the hook way too much given that it’s a hotbed of Nazis and Christian nationalists trying to form a white ethnostate. Idaho needs to be more closely linked to virulent racism like the Deep South currently is. And tbh I’ve been to the Deep South, I like it down there, it’s actually pretty diverse in many areas, if I had to live there it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. You couldn’t pay me to set foot in Idaho.

Gen X - look, if we’re gonna do generational warfare gen x needs a lot more hate. Sorry to any xers out there but boomers have been punching bags for a while, millenials are starting to get a good amount of hate, and they’ve always been made fun of for their Harry Potter and office love, tbh a lot of millennial shit is just considered cringe these days, gen z obviously gets all the “ugh what’s wrong with the youth” hate and this new media cycle has them being portrayed as pretty much the new hitler youth. Gen x needs to start getting some more hate, especially now with all these weird gen x venture capitalists influencing the trump admin trying to realize their vision of a neo fascist network state

LED headlights on cars and LED lights in general.

LED headlights when aimed properly are amazing. LED headlights when aimed poorly are the devil. Also fuck trucks with their high ass headlights that are blinding even at a reasonable following distance.

But I'd like to add that LED bulbs in halogen housings aka "poverty beams" should be made 200% illegal. If you commit this heinous act just go straight to the gulag. Halogen housings don't have the sharp cutoff needed for LED headlights, and pair that with the type of person to do this not being the type to aim the headlights properly and they're a legit hazard to the roads.

I will endure being called a fucking luddite for the rest of human history if it means banning LEDs from the earth.
