With mandatory voting, do you actually have to vote for anything or just turn in a ballot?

Well since nobody tracks what you write on your ballot or what box you tick off, you could show up, write "gently caress ALL THESE FUCKERS" on your ballot, and turn it in, and provided at least one person in your district turned in a proper ballot they would have no way of knowing who did it. So, um, just turn in a ballot. All mandatory voting means is "show up"

Radish posted:Did Scientology do something recently? there was a documentary on it published through HBO a few weeks ago called Going Clear. It's pretty good, though there's not a ton of novel material if you're already a Xenuologist. Some worthwhile interviews with both celebrity and hoi polloi former members.

Thanks, I've fallen off paying attention to Scientology since I assumed everyone who wasn't already in deep at this point knew it was a scam.

In Australia you don't even have to show up if you have an excuse (no evidence required) like "I was sick" or "my grandma died" or "I was out of town" or "I forgot YOU BASTARDS DIDN'T ADVERTISE IT ENOUGH" and they'll let you off the hook for the not-voting fine also tons of people write "gently caress you" on the ballot or draw penises or write long screeds about dumb poo poo that nobody besides the vote counters will ever see Democracy in action

Every other conservative cartoonist will emphasize what a rare, out of control evil killer this guy was, and how it does not reflect on the profession as a whole, and certainly was not part of a pattern.

Xenochrist posted:This cartoon also touches on the "more reservoirs would stop the drought problem, but it's the evil environmentalists fault we can't build any new ones" argument that was strutted out by carly fiorina yesterday. Because reservoirs magically create more water. I remember during the GOP clown car debates for Election '12, Michele Bachmann trotting out some nonsense about how the EPA was the real tyranny. One day later, Ramirez cross-hatches a comic explaining just that. Shining the poop of wingnut idiots and grifters. Well done, Michael.

Meanwhile in real life Jerry Brown called for reducing water consumption by 25% (with farms being exempted), and left it to local water agencies to work out how, with the possibility of fines on local water suppliers who don't meet that target. But let's just pretend that the California Water Police are going to come after you for taking showers, because it's easier for hack cartoonists to draw.

I'd imagine it'd be more for that being the target of fines rather than millionaires watering their grass in the middle of a desert or agriculture taking the lion's share of water reserves in the state. If you were to institute an effective tax would you start taxing junk food or Fritos? Edit: Wait nevermind checked the cartoonist names. Dollars to donuts its "government wants you to be stinky".

It's going to be real depressing when we start hearing stories about people wasting water on purpose to "stick it to the government". At least California is trying to do something about it, all the other water-doomed states don't really seem to care. (I wonder why?)

Just a friendly reminder that upwards of 60% of residential water use in california is put towards "landscaping" (aka grass)... welp seeya.

Yeah, I guess the anger from the right wing comes from the fact that they don't think environmental causes are worth taking up people's time with. They don't think there's a problem with water, just like they don't think there's a problem with climate change. Plus if there is, the government doing something about it is bound to be the wrong way to handle it because the government can't do anything right.
