I don't expect places to have wifi. If only phones had their own way of connecting to the internet.

Sure, go back to a time where you might have to fight for your life just for wearing the wrong t-shirt out of Blur and Oasis (Pulp btw).
i hate phones
(i have no other comment.)
But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.
I never use any public WiFi on my phone, why would you use wifi like it's 2005?
I didn't like talking to other people in 1995, and I sure as hell aren't going to start enjoying it now.
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.
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?
Imagine a bundle of sticks all rolled together….
But what why would they be riding their loud motorcycles in a coffee shop?
Fascist?
Same thing. Check the mussolini party

We Do Not Have ✨WiFi✨
Use 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..
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!
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..
What? That's... that's insane
the US is completely fucking insane, all the stuff we hear about countries like china and north korea basically actually happen in the US and no one gives a fuck, and americans just find it so normal that they don't realize others would think it's fucked up
Yep, Americans have less freedom than North Koreans because we can't tether our phones data service to our laptops. /s
I fully support net neutrality, but there are bigger problems than not being able to tether your phone's data plan to your laptop.
This sign goes hard in countries that belonged to former Yugoslavia.
"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).
Remember playing pool in the 90s, I didn't even smoke but I feel I will have copd.

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.
Happy 30th anniversary. Cheers to the Dutch Army.
what am I missing? why is the picture titled the toast of shame?
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.
https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1999/nov/17/features11
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.
