If you're shitty to people who are making you food, they get to smash your windshield with a hammer, this has been established as proper modern etiquette www.kiro7.com/news/local/c...

I'm like, crank, upset and grumpy half the time anymore, but I've never once been rude to the person behind the counter, I'm positive they have plenty of shit they are already dealing with.

that's rude. lots of sites say they're only available in their original area, but pretty rare that they enforce it. (usually just to not get bothered by internet rules in other places)

TBH, it's adorable that they think that their site & microaudience is somehow under threat by the marauding hordes of EVIL FURREIGNORS outside the USA who ARE DESPERATE for their VITAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY!!! Like, I could just flick a switch on my VPN to see their article, but I don't care enough

It's more the site doesn't want to spend the extra money to comply with the GDPR so they make themselves unavailable to avoid getting fined.

(Note: It's still stupid and asinine!)

It's not possible for the EU to fine an American website.

Lots of sites just don't want to follow GDPR, or on the other hand deal with takedown demands from foreign governments, unfortunately.

yep, that's what I'm referencing :) you don't have to block for that, though. You can just post a message that it cannot be viewed outside of the country of origin.

ugh, didn't realize they did that. Between Cox and Sinclair though i guess it's not too surprising a local news outlet is shitty in one way or another

According to their banner, the site is geo-locked to the USA.

bsky.app/profile/voxe... sorry, no idea why it's region locked like that
OTOH, I could just access their shit with two clicks via archive.md: archive.md/WaZiZ

Pfft. It's not your fault, those of us outside the USA are used to dealing with this kind of bullshit.

Retail and fast food workers should get one free felony pass while on shift, every year.
Avatar
That seems a little stingy. I’d say one per month at least. Make sure customers have a real fear that the worker they’re talking to might have a free felony in the chamber.
Avatar
And they should get at least one misdemeanor per week.

My other decree as future god-emperor of the world is that anyone that orders a package to be delivered while living on a one-lane, gated driveway to which they do not provide the gate code immediately gets the death penalty.

Protip: If you're getting bad service at a fast food place, blame management. You'll be right 90% of the time. Understaffing, insufficient training, money-grubbing policies. None of these are the fault of the person making $10 an hour (or less) to slap a thousand burritos a day together.

Mind your manners, or this fast food becomes fast lead

You want this fast food to be your last food, punk?

I know what you're thinking. There's 1000 calories in the standard preparation of a Big Mac. You finished most of your breakfast this morning, but not all of it. Depending on how much corn flakes you left you're either going to be at 100% or 150% of healthy daily intake. Do you feel lucky, punk?

give all service workers qualified immunity.

I’m thinking that giving everybody network-attached camcorders and encouraging them to get famous was ultimately a net negative for society.

When I ran the front end alone I was paranoid of someone sticking a camera in my face and starting some shit.

They ARE armed. This is what dumb tiktok crowd doesn't realise how NICE fast food workers actually ARE to them, instead of pouring hot oil over them before sticking a knife and a fork in their ears and eyes.

Every one of these influencers needs to be sent to live on a garbage barge

No, they should be made to work in retail or the service industry and depend on that job

taters are less lethal and more funny

Give them their choice of weapon. You know some weirdo is going to choose a mace or a cat o’ 9 tails and give those assholes more content than they bargained for.

Can't figure out if you meant tasers or if you have carefully studied all the harm that can be done with a well-wielded potato.

taters was meant but vegetables are even better

The free Chipotle was not worth it. People need to learn to make their own Goddang cilantro lime rice.
