LED headlights can be many times brighter than incandescent bulbs with no significant impact to life expectancy. Physically, incandescent bulbs produce light by heating up an element which decays relatively quickly. LEDs directly convert electricity to light.

In the US, there ARE regulations limiting how bright headlights can be, but aftermarket LEDs can be bought which exceed the limit. I've heard the EU and Asia already widely use adaptive headlight technology so it's a uniquely american car problem

they use proprietary file formats (MOV and HEIC) that need to be converted to a universal format like jpg or MP4 to be viewed on android (I think this can be changed in iPhone settings), and the conversion looks like shit

As of now the law seems to be that you'd still need to show a physical ID to police, this wouldn't be seen as valid. Tbh this doesn't seem useful

the cold war turned every civil war into a proxy war with at least one large power (the US) prolonging conflicts and fuelling large death tolls by supplying weapons to the right-wing, if not directly intervening

vietnam/cambodia/laos, both afghanistan wars, angola/namibia, liberia, sierra leone, syria, ukraine, both congo wars, occupation of lebanon, libya, yemen, and the years of lead are some examples of this

less nations legally declare war on each other now because declaring war requires UN backing, but the cold war was a violent extension of imperialism that never ended and a lot of people have been killed

oh they mention it sadness-abysmal

Almost all children’ need mental health support Crickx also said the mental health of children in Gaza was being severely affected by the offensive, and that a million children in the Gaza Strip require mental health support.

Children in Gaza “present symptoms like extremely high levels of persistent anxiety, loss of appetite, they can’t sleep, they have emotional outbursts or panic every time they hear the bombings,” he explained.

Before the assault erupted, UNICEF estimated that more than 500,000 children in Gaza needed mental health and psycho-social support.

Apartheid south africa had nukes but never used them, even while losing a war against Angola, Namibia, Cuba, and the ANC. Israel won't necessarily use nukes against its neighbors if the zionists are given some sort of deal where they won't be completely wiped out (ie allowed to leave to Europe/the US)

it appears the leading opposition party is a russophilic communist party, so hopefully the voters switch to them

Party's 2019 programme introduced the following points:[43]

Free universal health care.

Free education including higher education.

Increasing the size and scope of disability benefits, maternity benefits and retirement pensions.

The creation of modernised collective farms to work alongside the private sector. A Active state intervention in the spheres of infrastructure, transport, energy, communications, housing, pharmaceuticals, etc.

The nationalization of foreign-owned energy companies.

A commitment to law and order including both reinstating the death penalty for particularly dangerous criminals and addressing the underlying socioeconomic issues that may cause crime.

A commitment to Moldovan independence and military neutrality.

The opening paragraphs of the party's 2008 election programme stated that it viewed the average person's quality of life as superior under the Soviet Union when compared to modern times. It further stated that it viewed Moldova's alleged socio-economic problems as relating to Moldova's negative relationship with the Russian Federation.[44]
