Lots of people in this site are sympathetic to any tyrant as long as they aren’t ruling over a western country.

The Iranian protests against their Supreme Leader dwarfed the Gazan protests against Hamas.

The dynamics are way different.

Irans government will implode, nobody will need to be deployed there.

Why would I celebrate stock buybacks?

Also spacex lost like 20 or so Falcons before their first successful mission. Maybe they will explode as many Starships, but they have hit that number yet.

It’s ok to hate Elon, and there are many valid criticisms to make regarding spacex, but they’re the best in the world right now and it isn’t even close.

The biggest issue with Spacex is that Elon needs to be removed before he ruins it like he ruined Tesla.

How has spacex had very few successes? Their Falcon 9 rocket is basically operating like clockwork. They launch more rockets than the rest of the world combined.

The starship failures are higher profile but even those failures are typical when testing new vehicles, especially one as experimental and complex.

SpaceX and Starlink basically have no competition, and if they did, said competitor would also need to be heavily subsidized.

Allowing for activists to freely own handguns means that counter activists will which makes everyone less safe.

Order of operation is a bit mixed up here.

You felt bad for JJ because he brought back palpatine?

He’s a fucking hack and doing that was a choice. Single-handedly ruined any potential the sequels had.

How shocking that the guy who can’t write endings couldn’t write an ending.

I mean here is a comparison between a minivan and a 3 row EV SUV:

Not every SUV is a Suburban or Escalade.

Also, a wagon is not a replacement for a Minivan, the station wagon jump seats that I grew up with were firmly in the crumple zone, and would prevent any cargo from being loaded.

The person who wrote this comic never shopped for a family hauler, or has shopped for a family hauler and ignored their lived experience to make a quip.
