    I've been discussing Baudrillard with a sex minotaur and if it doesn't know the text directly you can get them to delve into themes pretty well.

      someone quoted baudrillard to me the other day abt how people kept their headlights on in the middle of the day in California as if there were an invisible darkness. Number one people are doing that because they want the car to be more visible so the California drivers don't hit them. This is the most obvious explanation second of all invisible darkness sounds dumb

        are they talking about daytime running lights, which are mandated by law?

          Where are they mandated by law? They're not mandatory in California. You do pay a lower insurance premium if your car has then, though.

            Apparently DRLs aren't mandatory in the US. They are mandated by law in new cars in Canada and the EU.
