On the basic end: because they're cheaper, use less energy, are more reliable, and last longer.

On the fancy end: have you seen demonstrations of Audi's matrix LEDs? They have the ability to dim specific areas dynamically, so that they can track incoming traffic and keep them in a dim-zone while still keeping the road and shoulders well lit.

Keep in mind that there is nothing special about LEDs that make them brighter; they can make LEDs dimmer and they can make halogens brighter, but the manufacturer has chosen not to.

Take the L dude.

Not only is that clearly not the reason in this case, of what you say is true (and I believe it considering your behavior) that's a pretty damning indictment about your collective personalities.

Youre blaming OTHERS for leaving your cause because YOU'RE impossible to put up with. Pathetic. The literal definition of that meme where the dude puts the stick into his bike spokes and then cries about it.

If you hate non-vegans so much then stop talking to them. Simple as.

Sick has had this meaning since like... The 70s or 80s. Its not just edgy teens. In fact I suspect that this has probably fallen out of favor with gen alpha.

So if anything, I think you probably have that exactly backwards

You cannot be so media illiterate.
You think that fighting a Nazi makes you a Nazi? That's the lesson you got from the poem? That is either a mind boggling amount of illiteracy, or, more likely, you're a Nazi apologist.

People who are in a position to stand up to evil and fail to do so bear some responsibility for the deeds of the evil.

Never mind that this post is clearly hyperbolic, you're clearly making bad-faith arguments in support of fascism. If you're a fascist or not, you gotta take a good long look in the mirror, because that's fucked up

Literally one of the most famous poems ever written is about exactly this.

You know, First They Came?

But how much money did he make with the word "the"?

There is a big range between "parents could save up for their kid's college" and "parents own a large successful company".

I'm just some grunt working an office job, but I'm still lucky enough to be able to put away money for my kid's college fund since they were born. I hope that they won't need a job to get through college, when/if they go.

Wow, why are you so triggered just because some people didn't think you were funny?

magical energy, technological wonder,

Could my reheating choice perhaps be a blunder?

My mind races, my feelings are mixed;

Lasagna like magma with ice patches betwixt.
