All guns should be ugly to discourage people from being weird about them.

The 2000s were the worst decade for movies but the best for music.
edit: This opinion is too based to be removed for not saying main
The 2000s were the worst decade for movies and also the worst for music. And fashion while we're at it. Pretty much all art in general
The OEM reflector style ones are mostly fine, IMO. It's the projector style lights, and when people jam LEDs in a reflector that wasn't meant for them, that are the problem.
These are the projector lamps: They rely on a little piece of metal covering the top half to keep the intense and evenly diffused light from blinding you, which doesn't work if you're not on flat ground.
Reflector style led lights diffuse the light unevenly, no differently than halogens, other than the color temperature.
The absolute worst are when people take led bulbs in jam them in headlight housings that are meant for halogens. The light doesn't leave the bulb in the same way affecting the diffusion pattern, plus they're more bright than intended.
The new matrix style LEDs could be a game changer. They allow some of the lights to turn off when there are oncoming cars, and darken just the areas where they are. The only downfall is the computer hardware needed, but the same hardware that tracks cars for automatic emergency braking systems can do it. If past is any guide, those systems will be mandatory in new cars at some point.
People that go into a job field like IT or healthcare should only be able to pursue the career if they are passionate, willing to stay up to date in their work, actually be skilled, willing to follow standards, (mainly IT-specific) actually be strictly thorough with their work (I'm talking Linus-Torvalds-level strict), not be a chud, not be a pyscho/sociopath, not do it for a paycheck or for power over people, etc. I'm so tired of dealing with shitty doctors and IT people hogging jobs because they had the money to afford the degree and the friends to get hired via nepotism, especially jobs where they can't even do the basics, like creating functions in a programming language or knowing black women under severe pain aren't simply having menstrual cramps.
I swear we live in a parallel universe where everyone's job roles have switched and over half of the people are incompetent at their jobs. The only benefit in this universe is that I look forward to the West collapsing because the politicians are such fucking dipshits they don't even know how to easily maintain their rule as the bourgeoisie.
Of course this is political, because everything is.
Music doesn't need that much bass mixed in it, even some of the stuff that's on the heavier end. And I'm not even counting all the cars rattling my windows that I want to destroy.
A lot of contemporary sound equipment, especially in cars, really does seem tailored to "how much of an asshole can you be to people trying to sleep" over other priorities.
The majority of USian dog-owners are negligent jackasses who should not be allowed to own any pet, especially any animal large enough to maul or kill somebody.

Fight clubs should be legal. We need a place to beat each other up for a little bit then go have a beer after. At least, that's how it works in frostpunk.
Edit: bear, beer. Same thing we'll just have a good time
Theres a triangle shaped table at the library that would probably fit in my ass, in my opinion
All mechanical (fully non computerized) diesel engines are the only internal combustion engines which should be produced and automatic transmissions should be outlawed on new vehicles, and on board computer systems should be kept to an absolute minimum. Under a planned economy all cars will be tanks designed to keep running for 50 years with routine maintenance and anything else is counterrevolutionary.
A large majority of pet owners are actively abusing their animals, either through neglect or through the inherent space limitations of their living space, or through isolation or through mistreating it. They in general don't have any regard for their animals except as far as they are cute or entertaining to the owner. This especially goes for anyone who keeps dogs in crates, but also any dog and cat owners who don't have space for their animal to roam- you have no business owning a pet. "B-but my pet loves me!" Of course! You are almost it's only source of food, companionship or any form of support
Almost every single animal and plant needs to have its scientific and often common names changed (excepting animals like "ostrich" or "cat" where the common name is known by the vast majority of english speakers) to reflect the indigenous people who lived there 300 years ago

Cars shouldn't be safe, they should be dangerous to the occupants in an accident to encourage paying fucking attention
