i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

And kids should be allowed to use the restroom when they need to.
Which shouldn’t be an outlandish statement yet here we are.

Tampons and pads should be in all public restrooms - ESPECIALLY schools. Stock them like toilet paper.
Scotland, New Zealand, even Kenya do it.
But not the USA, where men (and even some women) are so aggressively sexist that they fight AGAINST period products in schools.
