2 pairs of my headphones are engaging in a size-shaming and cuckhold relationship

I have a pair of nice bluetooth headphones that I really liked and then I got a pair of cheaper ones to use whenever my good ones were charging. The nicer pair have these soft flexible ear tips that are comfortable and shape to my ear. The cheaper pair have a more rigid texture with a slightly larger tip.

Sometimes i fall asleep with the cheaper pair in and after a few months, I'm noticing that my nicer ones don't fit as nicely anymore. My ear holes have actually been stretched and gaped by those cheaper headphones to the point where I use the cheaper ones more than my nice ones because the nice ones don't fill out my ruined whores of ear holes anymore.

Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?

I know I'm not the only one who feels like I'm getting visually assaulted everytime I drive at night. It was bad 10 years ago but now, it seems like headlight manufacturers have a deal with insurance companies and optometrists to make the lights as bright as possible. Is this ever going to stop or is there some kind of race in the headlight industry to see who can reproduce the power of the sun first?

Is there a word for people who will mess something up and blame the victim for it?

For example, my car is parked in a single lane driveway, mom's car is in the garage, she opens the garage door, zooms backwards and puts a hole in my front bumper with her trailer hitch. Then she comes inside to wake me up and yell at me. Is that just an extension of narcissism or what words are there to describe someone like that?

Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?

As an early 90's millennial, I've never noticed a "gen z stare" as described in news articles like a "blank face that shows lack of social skill or ability to think". The only times I've witnessed it happen and seen the older person accuse them of "gen z stare" is when the older person says something off hand or dumb but isn't self aware enough to realize they're being weird. Hell, I've given people a blank face countless times because I was taught it was better to say nothing at all sometimes. Especially when it came to talking to older people at work.

I remember when I was 16, some middle aged guy at work accused me of having no personality. In reality, I kept all conversations short as possible with him (like almost everyone in the store) because they were casually racist and misogynistic.
