  • Everything that Elon designs is made for ONE purpose ONLY: for him being able to sell it.

    If you are asking isn't that the same with all products?

    Well, most normal products are made to be useful. Regarding sale, they are meant to sell themselves because they are useful.

    Then there are some kinds of products that need professional sellers (industrial machines, 'special' brands of kitchenware...). But here it is restricted to the person Elon, yes, he himself. If he believes in it, he makes it, and everything else does not count.

  • My wife asked her brother if we could invite her

    She did the right thing. Congratulations!

    Am I overreacting?

    Overreacting is a term that describes the emotional side of things. We do not know if you overreacted.

    On the practical side, it is truly an option to do what you suggested.

    BUT: you need to talk to your wife about it first.

    The current plan happens on her side of the family, and so you should never try to cancel that plan without her full agreement.

  • They Live is about manipulating the masses to consume and be silent. Work is just a small side topic.

    Fight Club is about personal power over people. Domination.

    Big Lebowski is your typical loser story. A fairy tale.

  • I personally don't even know how to answer this question myself. Like the funeral isn't even for the dead. Its for the living.

    You are exactly on the right track.

    It is only for the living. The dead one is not affected in any way anymore, whatever you do.

    So to me, the question seems like, should the relatives of a bad person be allowed to see the corpse treated respectfully.

    Turn the question around and it becomes easy:

    Should the relatives of a bad person get punished along with him? Obviously not. They deserve the full, normal respect. So let them have the burial as they wish it.

  • If there's too much power the car will start driving you.

    I have learned this from my mother.

    When she was young and already married, it was the time when women could not drive cars very good. At least not as good as all the men. At least that was what the tradition and every man said, and they had many such stories to tell.

    So my dad got a BMW 5 series then.

    People in the village started to warn my mother, for serious! Be careful. Maybe better don't drive it at all. This thing could easily run away with you.

    My mother stayed super cool and told them nothing is going to happen, it needs me first to press down the pedal. And although she really did not drive it as often as my dad did, she was a good and safe driver.

  • they have insane amounts of horsepower and instant torque

    No, no. The car is not driving you. You are driving the car. It must do what you want.

    If you let the car drive you, then no wonder you are dead quite soon. So, maybe these numbers are indeed telling something about Tesla drivers...?
