I dunno, I guess since it's a newspaper comic it needs to keep things relatively light-hearted or something, but it feels too uneven... I guess it's because I read those police justice threads in D&D, masochist that I am.

Though I don't think the Pro & Cons creator is some kind of just world 'anyone in jail is guilty' or somesuch. I remember them having someone on a jury snark at the prosecutor in response to a recent shooting of a black person.

Yeah, and that makes light of people who actually need therapists. In a world where there's too many just world believers and laymen who think psychology is a useless profession, I think it would be nice if more media gave a fairer view of these things.

It's not uncommon for people to have adjustable desks these days so they can alternate between sitting and standing.

Oh, good, for a moment there I was worried there were jobs where you had to stand over a computer in a cubicle for a whole shift. Imagining having to do it in such a small space makes it seem worse to me for whatever reason.

Indigenously created sign languages are kind of a big deal in linguistics because they can reveal a lot about the process of language creation. Guatemalan Sign Language has been exhaustively researched for that reason.

I guess, though my main problem was with the 'every one' in the 'every one in this village communicates this way'.

I guess it's kind of interesting that a whole village know sign language even though they're (presumably) not all deaf.

I read a bit about it, and it seems like there is actually a relatively high occurrence of deafness over there (below 10%, but still). So it makes sense to learn the language to be able to communicate with deaf neighbors/family members.

Remember that this is the same guy who, without his memories, went into a jail cell for the sole purpose of beating up the people inside. Not to get any information out of them or anything either, he just beat them up for sport. Unnecessary violence is ingrained in his being.
