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 does it seem like the majority of people think problems are caused by drugs rather than problems causing people to turn to drugs?

I was never heavy into drugs but I smoked weed a fair bit in my 20s, knew a lot of other daily users of weed as well as some harder drugs. I don't think I ever came across a person that randomly decided to do drugs for no reason one day and got hooked. They were all people who had pretty messed up problems in their life that were too complex for them to fix on their own.

So it confuses me when people instantly assume that someone is in a bad situation due to drugs rather than them using drugs to deal with a bad situation. And yes I know drug abuse makes problems worse the vast majority of the time but it's not what I see as the root issue in a lot of cases, the drug use is a symptom/coping mechanism for people that society have let fall through the cracks.

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?
