Ran across the same problem recently. Ended up using Bing, of all things lol

I agree, it's a tiny step in the right direction, but definitely too little too late.

Tangentially related but I rewatched Face/Off last night and realised he has a very short role, extremely foreshadowing.

Same, and I also like the channels subscriptions so everything is in one place. But I also pirate a lot so I guess I'll have to do it even more!

It's different here (at Walmart at least), they leave all their reusable bags at the self checkout where you can just buy them. But there is a lot of staff and the area is like a bullpen, so there is only one exit and there are employees looking at the carts' contents.

As for the bags, for sure it's a contentious topic. And I agree with you. As I mentioned in another reply, I see a lot of the sturdier reusable bags for sale at thrift store, they have to roll them up and put them in a bin they have so many...

Yes, and also for the compost. I used to store a few as well but they are so thin now, it's not worth it.

I agree. I have a drawer full and a bunch in my car. I see a lot of them for sale for a buck at thrift stores, it's kind of funny and sad.

Where I live (Montréal, Canada) plastic bags are banned everywhere. You either bring your own or buy a reusable at the cash. Some places (like grocery stores) also sell paper bags. You get used to it. If you have a car you leave a bunch of reusables in the trunk, if you don't you just have to remember to bring one with you. The also sell some super thin ones you can carry in your pockets that are sturdy and large enough for a small run at the grocery store.

Considering the state the world is in, I'm at a point where news like this leave me totally indifferent. I used to feel concerned about privacy and freedom of choice when it comes to consumer goods but right now, with this company? I couldn't give less of a shit.

If you are rich enough to buy one of these abominations, you are rich enough to put pressure on the manufacturer to tell them you are not ok with this (if in fact that is the case).

Works fine here, thanks, interesting read!

 

Looks great, but I liked the first one better.

Lolll so great, glad you had fun :) Corba-Man was nightmare fuel for a while when I was a kid. DPK's face was already seared into my brain from The Warriors, I was so afraid of him!

 

That soundtrack is going to be fire too.
