Ladies and gentlemen, we have achieved Peak America.

Wait, wait, wait...

Who doesn't just leave the fries in the bag? I don't eat in my car (no commute in my town is any longer than 20-30 minutes,) but just imagining that I did... I just left the fries in the bag. The bag in the passenger seat. Reach over and grab fries. It is peak America, a $5.25 plastic solution to a problem I can't even imagine anyone having.

I hate to profile, but the only people I can envision using that item are the morbidly obese who eat fast food so regularly and in such quantities that such a device has some twisted practicality. Or maybe truck drivers who might more routinely eat on the road, but even then, where does the requisite burger and drink go since the fry holder is taking up some valuable real estate? I might accept this type of thing if it were simply a general fast food tray one could affix in a cup holder, but seeing as it's advertised as solely a fry holder, clearly designed to hold amounts ranging from a reasonable small/medium up to a metric fuck-ton, I can only shake my head.

Never heard or met Baba Vanga outside of the default news algorithms, so she's probably a lovely old lady. But she has got to stop talking shit already. She is out of control bringing in sci-fi fantasy subplots during this time of mourning.
If someone is to rule (or do anything else) forever, they have to live more than just 97 years.

Been applying to jobs and I keep seeing stuff like this. Is that there much confusion about what a Latino/Hispanic is?

As a Black AND Hispanic person, I've often wondered this myself, like, why are they specifically calling for "not" Hispanic or Latino as they qualify the other races? What's the difference? I've never seen it to this degree, though; personally, I would ask which ever potential employer about this. I mean, I'd figure out if I got the job or not first, then ask.

US census questions, mostly. Added several decades ago when a specific flavor of white people started getting antsy that all these new white people spoke Spanish and knew how to use seasonings.
