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

Yeah, I got it wrong on purpose for comedic effect. Plus it's a great excuse to share some of the deeper "lore" of that meme

You weren't kidding

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.

Granted, it's probably my favourite wallpaper app too and I only learned about it yesterday. It's also my least favourite for the same reason. I've never used it, or any wallpaper app, or even knew they are a thing so it wins by default.

Someone did a surprisingly good job shopping those hats in

The recent AI generated videos are such an accurate portrayal of dreams that there must be some parallels there

These just seem mean and depressing for the sake of being mean and depressing

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.

I'm hoping it's just political grand-standing fluff and no (further) damage to the health system. You can already refuse vaccines.

That said, employers requiring vaccination as condition of employment outside of some select sectors during COVID did feel like a line was crossed

Interesting, never knew they were doing a remaster.

I kind of agree with the article; something about those PS1 graphics implies more of a crunchy texture that's lost in the remastered models. Now it looks like a cuter more palatable version, like if it was Kingdom Hearts.

Yes I'm thinking areas where it's more common to just walk to the local store and buy groceries every couple of days have less food waste than ones where you do bigger trips less often

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.
