US has a very opportunistic culture, to an irrational degree apparently. If there’s less cars on the road people take it as an excuse to drive more recklessly.

You can definitely say lethal fart and nobody would think it weird.
They’re the same meaning just about exactly. Maybe lethal is a little more “fancy” if that makes sense. There’s a lot of pairs of words in English like that, where one synonym came from old germanic/norse languages and the other came from old french/latin languages.
That’s why wedding vows say “to have and to hold”, for example. More educated people back in the day would use “have” (from habere in latin) and more common people would use “hold” (idk exactly from where but i assume old german or something.) When there was a wedding they wanted everyone to understand what was being said.
I used it since netscape navigator XD
Why would you trust an oligarchy of politicians (the State) to decide which goods are useful “for a community” and which don’t?
Because we voted for them. We didn’t vote for the board of directors of private companies. There’s plenty of waste and corruption in private enterprise. It’s not voluntary if they lie cheat and steal just like bad politicians.
If the headlights are higher than another driver’s eyes, the light will go straight and downward into their eyes. There’s just no way to highlight the ground without blinding drivers in front of you if the headlights are so high.
