Yes, it wasn't until the third panel did I notice the arms of the chair and suddenly the person was bald

Reaching out to catch the falling hatchet I'd just finished sharpening. 13 stitches...

Or Canada could fix

Surely you mean "and"? I may not have been clear in my previous comment but my point is there is a very small minority that can't be helped in the other ways. That doesn't mean you shouldn't also do all the other things since it's just a very small group that can't be helped that way and that'd be silly.

A few years ago I would've been pretty disgusted with this, but now with frequent contact with entrenched homeless I think it's needed.

There are those few that just seem to be stuck in addiction and anti-social behavior and permanent incarceration or exile are about the only other options. You'd need some robust safeguards though so that it's only used as that last resort after exhausting other options.

If only

I basically agree, the only difference is that it's something you put into your body with potential side effects (extremely rare of course) which feels like it's crossing a different line than PPE.

Combine that with many employers never requiring other vaccines before but adding the COVID vaccine as a requirement for employment not just for new hires but people already employed and I think it was just a bit too far. Maybe if people had the option of really masking up or something instead and they refused that too would I feel better about it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm like triple or quadruple vaccinated for COVID at this point, but that's because I felt it was the best course of action. I would've not been a fan of my employer requiring it even though it's something I was going to do anyway.

Whoa o black Betty

The number of "reusable" bags I now encounter in the environment that contain way more plastic than the disposable ones (and can't be used as garbage bags so now other disposable bags are created/used instead) makes me really skeptical banning plastic bags helps at all

I already do. I also want to pay my way.

The problem is what I'd like doesn't exist (I'm not going to subscribe you a million different websites and still not even be ad free) and probably can't. How much do all the ads I'm blocking cost? It'd be ripe for abuse but I'd essentially like a taxi meter, but it would charge me for website use from just one central account that I top up or is part of my internet bill or whatever.

I want the whole business model of using ads and tracking to pay for the internet to not exist.

Anyone notice how the thumbnails for each row are essentially the same, even with their order?

Yes I'm also the same way with ads. I'd happily spend more for internet if there was somehow an "ad surcharge" that would mean I'd never see ads or be tracked. Let me pay whatever the advertisers pay.
