    Depending on the country, paying like it's 1995 would be the best power move. Here's, dunno, 100 francs? 5 marks?

    Oh yes. If you're a Dutch soldier you even get free drinks, and it only costs your honor.

      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.

          In the middle is luitenant kolonel Thom Karremans, leader of the Dutchbatt peacekeeping force near Srebrenica, to the left is Ratko Mladic the last of the Serbian forces.

          Mladic promised the to let there population of the enclave to go free, and Karremans believed him.

          They were slaughtered instead.

            The most striking image yet to emerge from the fall of Srebrenica comes in a BBC film to be screened next week. It shows the indicted Serb war criminal General Radko Mladic presenting the commander of the UN peacekeeping force at Srebrenica, Colonel Ton Karremans of Holland, with gifts wrapped in Christmas paper. Mladic was evidently in a expansive mood and he had good reason to be: at that very moment his troops were preparing to massacre the 4,000 men and boys who the UN had handed over to him.

              50 a month at MetroPCS, it's not rocket science, and I'm not rich. I literally live on the streets.

                  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

                    Wait are you just using wifi while paying 100/mo for internet?

                    1200/year isnt insubstantial.

                    It's a business location and they could be anywhere, this is enough to buy unlimited internet basically everywhere there is unlimited internet to buy.
                    Compared with daily business expenses this is basically free for them.

                      Why would they need wifi when our phones have 5G /hotspots? This whole conversation is just silly 😅

                        and they just swipe around to see stuff that are 95% useless information. It’s nothing but addiction.

                          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.

                            Yeah, 50/mo for unlimited isnt terrible, Im paying half that for 2gb/day, then limited to 365kb/s

                                Maybe drink too much, assault a woman and call the bartender the f slur. Feeling cute.

                                  There’s a place near me that I don’t go to very often, and almost never if I’m alone. They have great food and it’s pretty cheap, but they don’t have WiFi.

                                  That normally wouldn’t be a problem, because I rarely use any of my cell data, but it’s a super old building full of interference and I can only get cell signal if I happen to get one of the 3 seats within 10 foot of the front windows.

                                  If I do go by myself, I get weird looks for bringing comic books or video games and just existing by myself, but there’s nothing else to do while waiting for food so..

                                      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.
