I think a large part of the competitive pricing comes from subsidies by the Chinese government to produce these cars, not necessarily because China’s innovated some miraculously cheap vehicle.

Granted, Western, Japanese, and Korean automakers placing emphasis on SUVs (at least in North America) certainly doesn’t make the pricing of cars (electric or ICE) any better. It’s also true that Western governments can similarly subsidize EV manufacturing, but keep in mind that a lot of hurdles that exist in the west to pull off such a task don’t exist in China—there is no opposition party that might slow down or kill legislation. Add to that the access China has gained globally via Belt and Road likely makes obtaining raw materials a lot cheaper too.

This is all to say that boiling it down to an attitude problem is a little too reductive.

A miasma of post-Doritos farts, ass sweat, and uncleaned litter box.

The feeling of the spray hitting your skin will be akin to feeling piss aerosols/drops hit your leg when wearing shorts and using one of those urinals that extend to the floor.

Raw?

It’s not that I’m not a morning person, it’s that I hate the realization of having woken up again.

I’ll just book AAF for 10 consecutive shows where they’re only allowed to play the smooth criminal cover.

This reminds me of the etymology of バカ (baka, stupid in Japanese).

I don’t know if that’s what’s intended or not.
