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

Do people really want wifi these days? Why would i trust some random sketchy wifi if my own phone has a plan with >5gb.
But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.
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!
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.)
I never use any public WiFi on my phone, why would you use wifi like it's 2005?
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
Everyone was wrong.
whispers
It's "French".
I think it's the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.

But what why would they be riding their loud motorcycles in a coffee shop?

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.
"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).

This sign goes hard in countries that belonged to former Yugoslavia.
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..

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.
Happy 30th anniversary
Almost to the day - it was July 11th 1995.
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.
