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.

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.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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).

I don't know but I've been stockpiling canned food in my basement and I bought a portable toilet just in case.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Portable … toilet?

I too own a bucket.

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

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

collapsed inline media"Toast of shame" - Mladic and Karreman drinking together

Happy 30th anniversary. Cheers to the Dutch Army.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

what am I missing? why is the picture titled the toast of shame?

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 6 points 1 day ago

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.

I never use any public WiFi on my phone, why would you use wifi like it's 2005?

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 24 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] polle@feddit.org 7 points 12 hours ago

Do people really want wifi these days? Why would i trust some random sketchy wifi if my own phone has a plan with >5gb.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Just page me.

[–] hash@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cool. Lemme just paint the ceiling with my brains so I can approximate what it was like when I wasn't around.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Just kidding. I'm a millennial. I don't own a lawn.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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..

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

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 didn't like talking to other people in 1995, and I sure as hell aren't going to start enjoying it now.

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago

what did coffee cost in 1995 ?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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!

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.

But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago

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!

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

who talked to random strangers at coffee shops even before phones?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

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

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
