      It gotten to the point every time a see a political add and it’s like

      “Do you want puppies to be happy? Then vote yes on prop 106b to stop people from killing puppies with chainsaws”

      So I go look it up and it’s like “106b passing would mean Elon musk can personally kick us in the balls every morning… I feel like that advertisement was a bit misleading… he nearly got me that time… why does he want to kick me in the balls so bad? It’s getting weird “
