Alt TextA comic depicting the classic trolley problem in 2 panels

Panel 1: a trolley sits on the tracks with a switch off to an alternate track. On the main track, there is nothing to impede the trolley. On the switch off track stands The Roadrunner (see Warner Bros). At the track’s lever stands Wile E. Coyote who has thrown the lever switching the trolley’s path of travel.

Panel 2: The trolley drifts sideways off the track to run over Wile E. Coyote.

I am illegally blind and disregard alt text because it is not widely standardized.

I'm sure you just made a typo, but I am chuckling to myself at the thought that you are walking around being blind specifically because it's against the law and not because of any biological problems. Like "fuck the police, I'm throwing away my glasses!"

Love using that phrase! It describes me perfectly. Lots of retinopathy, eyes have no lens, can't have IOLs, vision is like better than one point\step away from 1\200 (the big E on the Snellen eye chart). Thus cannot legally apply for any disability pay. 😎

Damn. My sympathies, friend. Life dealt you a bad hand and society said "get wrecked" instead of helping you fix it. Hope I didn't offend. 🫂 🫶

No worries. Gotta live carefree. It's the illegal life for me.
