Besides allergens and physical makeup, there is little difference between a toddler and a dog. Your position is inconsistent, and my conclusion is that you really just personally don’t wanna see dogs in stores and you’re cherry-picking parts of legitimate arguments not because they’re important to you, but because they’re convenient for you.
If you really want these rules enforced, send your complaints to Walmart or Delhaize, not Reddit. S’not gonna happen on current wages and benefits.

You are correct, name calling doesn’t alter facts. However, your “facts” are inaccurate and you are still wrong. More evidence here

Do you not see that there's a massive difference between a human and a dog?

What’s worse is people don’t realize you can buy SAE DOT approved LED lights so you CAN drive with them on, legally. The lens typically has a different diffusing pattern to allow for on road use, but people don’t know any better and run the off-road only version instead.

Why don’t you have them on auto?

> Is this relativity common for others, or am I just being overly dickish about it?
It’s way too common.
I travel a two-lane road very often between 8-10pm and in my 4 mile trip i usually count half a dozen cars with no lights on and don’t know it because their DRL make them think lights are on.
Why don’t people put lights on auto? I turned my lights to auto when I bought the car and haven’t touched the switch since.

Yep Maine had some of the cheapest housing in the country for the last decade.

The point is that if you’re making this argument, you should agree that 1. we should consider having similar legal constraints in place for young children and 2. that employees of these establishments should be incentivized to take the risk enforcing existing laws, which they are not.

I think it's a combination problem, I have a hrv. At night even with thr headlights off the instrument cluster lights up. There were more than a few times we got out the driveway and went oh..

Similar issue with always illuminated dash boards. If you look down and can’t see your gages you realize pretty quick you don’t have your lights on

Rear fog lights are the best.
My Saab used to have them, and Volvos have them as well.
Someone tailgates you? Turn the rear fog light on and they’ll either think you’re brake checking them, or it’s so bright they back off cause it’s annoying to look at, either way, you get the space you need.

a few of the more savvy brands have a threshold setting which allows more or less darkness to trigger them. each one hides it somewhere different and calls it something else in the UI. Fords used to make it easy and had a sensor, low down in the center of the dash by the windscreen, and you could just put small pieces of black electrical tape on it to make it trigger earlier. sensor was black anyway so if you were careful, you couldn't tell it was applied.

Good point, that's way worse than a dog eating poop and then licking stuff.

My problem is when I put my lights on auto they don’t usually switch on in twilight or on an especially overcast or low visibility day. So maybe he would have that problem with the auto setting.

It's happened to me a few times in rental cars. I haven't owned a car without auto lights in 15 years. When it gets dark and I can still see the instruments and road ahead is lit it never occurs to me that the lights aren't on.

I've seen it too. Cars should just have the tail lights on all the time as basically rear daytime running lights. I can't really see a reason not to do that.

you drive a vehicle, "not knowing how to use it" is not a good enough excuse for unsafe operation.

Way too common. We all have our moments where we might forget once, but I swear I see the same cars with only the DRLs on every morning, even if it's cloudy/dark, raining, snowing, whatever, they NEVER turn their actual headlights on. Drives me absolutely mad.

Reply to 🔥 TIL loons can't walk very well. by WWACrowleyD
It’s a not very fun fact tbh. Loons sometimes mistake parking lots for lakes. They than land and can’t take back off because they need a running (swimming) start. Another thing is if you see loons fishing near where your fishing don’t keep fishing, wait for them to go by, they’re going to scare the fish off anyways and you don’t want to catch a 10 lb pissed off bird.
