If you put this passive agressive bullshit up ima gonna smoke indoors and pay 25c for my drink.
Maybe drink too much, assault a woman and call the bartender the f slur. Feeling cute.
What the fuck is the f slur? Other than fuck
I think it’s the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.
Is faggart like a new slur? Or do you just have questionable rhyming skills?
Taggart sounds more like maggot than fan-art. Two example pronunciations here, the first closer to the latter but I think the second sounds closer to maggot: https://youtu.be/pb0CEn5YiIQ?t=94
Seems like an American thing to pronounce it “tag-arrrr-t”.
Gonna start calling my gay artist friend a faggart now thanks.
Imagine a bundle of sticks all rolled together….
Fascist?
Same thing. Check the mussolini party
But what why would they be riding their loud motorcycles in a coffee shop?
“Faggot”, slur used for homosexual men.
Everyone was wrong.
whispers
It’s “French”.
1995… The peak of humanity. Industrial clubs everywhere, fun cheap bars, bright clothes, danceable music, computers you still had a chance of understanding somewhat, home appliances and lightbulbs didn’t need firmware updates or spy on you, affordable housing and groceries, relative worldwide peace…
I think I’d burst into tears if I saw this sign IRL
Do you think McDonald’s has the monopoly picks for the 1996 Olympic Dream team yet? There is no way they can be as good as last time right… Bird, Jordan, Magic, there wasn’t a bad player on the team!
The 1996 McDonalds Monopoly game was one of the games that the sweepstakes company fixed, right?
That sign looks like it really blocks access to those refrigerators. is it even necessary to be so obnoxious about your lousy cheap lack of WiFi? Just have a little sign that says “no WiFi” if that is even really necessary, without being sarcastic about it.
I don’t know about you, but I would probably go around the counter, instead of climbing over it and through a sign, if I needed to get to the fridges behind.
Oh that’s a counter lol. The perspective is weird here to me. Almost looks like a little bench or something.
Just page me.
Or just don’t be a broke bitch and get unlimited data, it’s not expensive 😅
Bro, it’s literally the $50 tier at metropcs, since when is this expensive? I thought this was the normal price for a monthly phone rate
How much are you paying for that?
50 a month at MetroPCS, it’s not rocket science, and I’m not rich. I literally live on the streets.
I pay about half that per year for my data plan
What plan is that?
That price doesnt include any data, and seems to be way more expensive than getting local esims. They seem to massively upcharge for the networks they use too. On one if the networks I see advertized, its 11USD for 30 days@10GB/day, but Silent charges 5.50/GB on the same network.
The network I use, which also happens to be the one with the best coverage in my area, is about $1/GB
100$/month and a one time purchase of a 200$ wifi router
Wait are you just using wifi while paying 100/mo for internet?
1200/year isnt insubstantial.
50 a month, you absolute goon.
We’re assuming a business location here. This is the maximum it should cost pretty much anywhere in the world. So, trivial compared with just one day of business expenses. Functionally free
Why would they need wifi when our phones have 5G /hotspots? This whole conversation is just silly 😅
For the people with no service and exploitative ratioed service.
I don’t need wifi I have 100 gig of fast data and “unlimited” after that which I never use.
But my brother has 3 gb and then he loses internet access. You do it for him, it’s common courtesy if you’re operating a business which you expect people to hang out at. They are the content that attract your drink-buyers.
Is that Lighthouse Coffee?
“Here’s the $0.85 for the coffee, thanks!”
Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.
I never understood why Starbucks became big in the US, but I always assumed it was something like that.
It’s actually because they started offering syrup filled, whip cream and caramel covered drinks directly on the menu. They were briefly infamous for like 1000 calorie macchiatos.
Little espresso shops had flavor shots before, but the rest were pretty much donut shops that sold regular utility coffee, and the sugar and fat was external (donuts sandwiches and pastries).
ohfuckyes
I’m sold
Remember playing pool in the 90s, I didn’t even smoke but I feel I will have copd.
Gaaaaaay!
(Am I doing it right?)
Yeah exactly. It’s not the real 1995 unless you can get called a slur for not hyperbolically performing your agab like it was a Tony award performance.
No
I guess you had to be there.
And happy to not still be there.
In 95’ a different Seal was performing
I was there, but the time you’re referring to is 2005ish
So, a white bread is USD0.77?
What do you want me to act like my kin circa 1995? Because if so you may want to get out of the way cause I’ve got a weed sprayer filled with diesel and a little cigarette!
i hate phones
(i have no other comment.)
But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.
Am i the only one who wishes this was common? Put your stupid phones away. How have we not matured enough to not be so addicted to little flashy lights.
i guess i am getting old. but i really think it is sad, when a group goes to the restaurant/coffee/bar and everyone is staring at their individual screen
and they just swipe around to see stuff that are 95% useless information. It’s nothing but addiction.
I feel the same ! Like are we this brainwashed ?? Plus theyre not even reading articles or anything to improve themselves, it’s endless TikTok scrolling. Also, im not old, and I can still see it. So it’s not really an old person thing. More of a “have we literally become idiots addicted to a shiny screen” type thing.
McDonald’s STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People “back then” didn’t just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.
Yes, there’s a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it’s not cause we have electronics, it’s cause people don’t have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.
i partially agree with you. but most social media is carefully designed to make you keep interacting with it. because of phones, you can bring a nearly endless stream of distractions everywhere you go. the newspaper you can read a maxim of once.
it was impossible to get more than a “Mmh” out of my grandfather, while he was reading his newspaper. so i know what you mean. but when he was done with it, he was done with it. after his 0.5 h per day of newspaper, he was an amazing conversationalist and always had time for whoever wanted something. so i would say there is a difference.
Exactly. Keep the poors in their dumb little walled garden social media so they don’t ever learn everything. The average person now is terrified of the Internet if it isn’t Google or meta. Ironically, the things they trust are the most evil of all by far.
Yeah, and who said all these kids could be on my lawn???
I spend most my time on the phone socializing anyway. I’m addicted to feeling connected with people I care about not “little flashy lights”. I’m not at coffee shops to meet people I’m there to change pace for a minute and reset before I move to another task. If I’m specifically with someone then sure I talk to them but usually I want to be anywhere else because coffee shops in Seattle are so loud I can’t hold a conversation
You have a good point. But it’s there in your post; “feeling” connected. But for many people, they actually aren’t. They feel connected because of notifications and little dings that give them dopamine, much like a rat in a test lab hitting buttons for treats. Thats why I am surprised no one sees this.
That stupid little flashy light? Do you think of tamagochis? Because my phone has access to all the knowlege on the planet.
who talked to random strangers at coffee shops even before phones?
I did this at multiple coffee shops I hung out at. This is how you met people. Also no one smokes anymore. That was also a big part of socialization.
never been a thing here. cafés are where you go with friends.
Well Jimmy, people used to be humans and converse in person hard to believe I know.
then you and i must be in different parts of the world because here, most people in coffee shops just used to read the paper.
