  • 100%. This is the true "voter fraud" if there is any. Voting for parents, voting for significant others, voting for kids, but doing so on a mail in ballot and usually with their approval.

    (I have to admit that I do this with my wife. She says "just fill it out and I'll sign and turn it in", so I do. But this could easily be done with coercion also.)

  • I hope this is satire. If it's real I feel sorry for the guy. To be sold a vision of what's cool and to spend a ton of money on it, and then to be made fun of is quite painful. I can understand that and have empathy for the guy, even if Musk is a piece of dog shit and I'm rooting for Tesla to crash and burn.

  • This is just Trump and the Central Park 5 all over again. They're guilty because Trump feels they're guilty. The fact they're not actually guilty doesn't matter.

    If you're against authoritarianism, you should demand a trial and not just some schmuck politician labeling you a criminal being enough to send you to your death in some foreign prison.

    The fact that there's not a uproar from the don't tread on me crowds just reinforces the idea that they don't see these people as like them. If this was some redneck that was randomly pointed at and said he's a criminal and then deported to a foreign prison they would be upset. The fact that there aren't just shows you that they see these guys as "the other". And why do they see him as the other? That's the question this cartoon is trying to answer....

  • I'm kind of glad. I want the Supreme Court to realize sooner rather than later that Trump won't listen to them and that they're not his friend, just useful patsies.

    I'm sorry for all the people that are caught up in Trump's bullshit. That guy is fucking evil.

  • You never have control over your childhood, but you have control over your life. My dad was the unemotional 1950's style dad, but my mom was a 1970's style loving mom, so I had at a reasonable upbringing. However I feel the real win was in creating my own family with the right partner and raising kids in a much more loving environment. Create your own corner of the world and give your kids the love and care you never had. It's not a replacement for what you've missed in your own life, but in it's own way, it's even better because you're passing it on to the next generation. It will also help heal your own wounds.

    My 3 kids are all teenagers now and I'm going to be releasing them on the world pretty soon and even now I still go around at night and each kid and I have our little routines of hugging each other and saying good night to each other. I'm happy and I feel lucky that I've been able to give them a happy supportive home to grown in. And in the end, what more can you ask for?

  • I'm kind of surprised that all the institutional investors haven't bailed already. It doesn't take much to look at the fundamentals of Tesla and realize it's all smoke and mirrors. The emperor has no clothes and the stock is 10 times more expensive than it should be.

  • It's crazy how few times in an average man's life he gets real compliments on clothing or looks. It happens so rarely most of us can tell you about the times even when they're 20 years ago.

  • So... Over the phone doesn't count? Texting doesn't count? Email? Those don't count? I would think that in this day and age texting would be the normal way to ask a girl out for a first date.

    You know it's REALLY hard for someone not super social to ask a girl out in person. I'm 50 and i think I've never asked a girl out for a first date in person.... But then again, I am an introverted nerd so that's probably to be expected. Hell, I asked the girl I ended up marrying out over email....

  • I’m glad, but I’m still pretty damn irritated that we’re all seemingly “ok” with the fact that we just have “liberal” and “conservative” judges.

    The thing I've realized as I've gotten older is that the difference between liberal and conservative in the US is almost more a question of how we think rather than what we think. When I was younger I thought it was simply that conservative people had one set of values and liberals another, but that's flat out wrong.

    The way information is presented to a conservative in their media is much different from how information is presented to a liberal is their media. This leads to a difference in how people think (or maybe the difference was there to begin with and they self selected their media of choice). Try having a conversation with a person of the opposite political persuasion, it's really hard because you both try to convert the argument to your own structure. Both people end up arguing over the structure more than the issue because once the structure has been agreed upon, the topic almost answers itself.

    Once you realize that "liberal" and "conservative" is the way someone thinks and not just if they root for team R or team D, it's much easier to come to terms that judges are "liberal" or "conservative" at a more intrinsic level.

  • If it translates to massively less Tesla sales, then it means something. Tesla's valuation is so stupidly high because of musk. The big financial institutions are betting on him because they've done very well by him in the past. If tesla crashes and burns hard enough, his toxicity will spread to all his other ventures as well and his bullshit smart guy persona will be left in the dust.

    I don't mind CEO's high pay; I see them as a the last working person in the pyramid

    I see CEO's as the last working person in the system. They are at least putting in the time and effort to make money. The are "the last working man/woman" in the chain up to the owners. The real travesty is the owners who get all the money without doing any actual work.

    If the CEO makes less money, do you think you'd get more? The answer is no. A company will control costs and not pay employees more than they have to. Your salary has nothing to do with the CEOs salary and at least in theory you have a chance to become CEO... more of a chance than you have of becoming an owner.

    The inherited wealth, the hedge funds, the owners... they get all the return. They get all the rewords. Even my boss, who started the company I work at, he makes his money by being an owner. His salary as a CEO is pennies vs his salary owning the company. The success of the company should be shared amongst the employees who made it happen, and the truth is they aren't. That's the real kick to the
