You can see rain on all the water in the background, it just looks concentrated on him because they're using lighting.

I don't think anybody is hooting and oh my god-ing at a fake spectacle, they're doing it at this guy out in the storm in skinny pants with his half buttoned shirt flapping around

I would like to request just enough flooding that I get a couple days off work, but not so much flooding that people lose their homes. Thank you.

People are idiots and think high beams = more see good and somehow never realize that they're just blasting all that light right back into their faces.

It just makes me think of these dumb accusations with weather reporters because most people have no idea how anything works at all.

light helps to see in the dark, so when you can’t see well that must mean it’s dark, so more light solves the problem

I'm pretty sure the point of highbeams in the rain is to make yourself more visible so that someone doesn't turn you into an oncoming pancake or so that you don't turn a pedestrian into pink mist, but what do I know?

If the downpour is so extreme that the rain is literally a wall of light-reflecting water, you probably should be pulled over and otherwise not driving.

The true idiocy is when people have their high-beams on in dense fog, but nowadays in the HellWorld in which we inhabit, the general rule seems to be "gently caress everyone else, it's only important that *I* get to see."

When I turn my high-beams off at night when seeing an approaching car, and they do the same for me, it's one of the few remaining vestiges that there's some measure of decency remaining in *some* people's souls.

what the gently caress

You should never be using your high beams so other people can see you because you should never be using your high beams when there are other cars around. You're not going to increase your visibility, you're going to blind oncoming traffic and cause an accident.

any kind of HID light should be illegal on vehicles taller than a sedan because the cutoff shields are effectively worthless to stop them from blinding other drivers

The poo poo part is that my Subaru has those useless lenses over the low-beams, so every so often I'll get someone flashing me because the light gets focused in such a way that makes it *look* like a high beam.
