I just took our identical tortilla blanket on a flight and realized as soon as I pulled it out that it just looks like a blanket with gross stains all over it when you see it without it being fully laid out into a tortilla shape.

Cheap Chinese EVs Won Thailand. The Parts Makers Paid the Bill.

Not surprising as this is China's goal, to dangle too-good-to-be-true deals in front of people using their deep pockets, resource control, and slave labor to strangle the market until they dominate it completely. Once that happens, they'll leverage their dominance and rip all the subsidies away with nobody standing in their way.

It's the same thing Walmart does when they move into a community. Americans should be well aware of this pattern and its consequences by now.

The young Americans choosing Y2K cars over shiny new SUVs: ‘I get so much crap from people’

This article seems so out of touch it's funny to read. Young people never bought new cars. Who's supposedly giving these people "so much crap" for not driving a new car? Then they attend an enthusiast car meet and think this represents every young person in the country.

It reminds me of when some 60 year old dude who works for a newspaper tries to write about what's popular with teenagers despite not knowing a single teenager.

We have paper ballots in Oregon and it isnt a problem. Unlike a scantron, the ballot is 5x the size with 5x fewer options so it isn't crammed full of little tiny bubbles to pencil in. They also print on the ballot instructions for what to do if you select the wrong bubble (cross out the bubble with an X and fill in the correct one), so that isn't a problem either.

It seems people in this thread are just giving cover to shitty practices and election fraud under the guise of "I can invent a problem in my mind therefore it's an actual problem and why these deceptive practices must exist."
