We Do Not Have
WiFiUse The Hotspot On Your Phone Like A Normal Person
Or Get A Data Card For Your Laptop IDK Or Care
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..

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
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.

When my family goes out we usually have to put our phones away. It was my rule, but now I break my own rules and my kids have to tell me to put my phone away. I guess my kids are better than me now.

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.
Remember playing pool in the 90s, I didn't even smoke but I feel I will have copd.

I never understood why Starbucks became big in the US, but I always assumed it was something like that.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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).

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?

Gaaaaaay!
(Am I doing it right?)
No and that’s pretty fucking queer, buddy. /s

except that in america at least lots of data plans somehow block you from using the hotspot function, i do not fathom how the fuck it's possible but people keep talking about it so i have to assume it's a real thing..

Portable … toilet?
I too own a bucket.
this made me look up "bucket toilet" and actually you can very much make an actual toilet like that, which is good to know.
big bucket, plastic bags, some sawdust in the bag, and a toilet seat ontop.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Former police officer stole the winning pieces for years, made $24 million for him/friends/family apparently. Was supposed to go on trial September 10 2001. The next day 9/11 happened and no one paid attention to what happened.
3 years prison for postal fraud or some shit. One year he sent the pieces into a charity, that may have been 1996 like you asked

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.

Yeah, I think there's about two games you can download to your phone that will run without an internet connection. Even fucking Balatro—what do you need internet for? People have paid for the game!

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.
