I have never understood people’s weird obsession with going to Macca’s at the end of a night out, instead of the obviously better choice of literally any local kebab shop run by whoever

I feel like a single line through would have been the correct design choice, still, because in practically every other context, that’s what’s used (no smoking signs, for example).
Seems like many, many other places around the world put a line through for road signs (though a couple outside Europe don’t, and even some inside Europe do): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibitory_traffic_sign
My 2¢, Europe is wrong on this one, despite being right on so much else haha
come from the Christian crusades originally
To me, this is equally as bad as Nazi symbology
This sounds good, but is still dumb, somewhat less incestuous inbreeding.
America, you need to riot. Like yesterday. Do not let this happen. You’re too much of an imperial power, it’s gonna fuck us all over.
Fight them in every arena. Stop rolling over.
Too much to lose to fight back? Just wait, you’ll live to regret it. And so will we.
Right, the imposition to you putting a seatbelt is so high, it outweighs all we’ve discussed?
You’re out of touch, bud.
And yeah, if somehow we could help people not be morbidly obese, that’d would be great. Just listen to people in their position, no one is seriously suggesting (well, sane people) that being morbidly obese is pleasant. And “enforcing” it would be ridiculous, what, surveil people at every meal? This is a strawman argument. What’s the equivalent we do for seat belts? Speed cameras sometimes snapping someone not wearing one. Police officers seeing you not doing it. It’s pretty minor. People just do it. It doesn’t need much enforcement.
Partially yeah, because it’s the law.
Have you been to countries where it isn’t the law, or hasn’t been law long? I have, funnily enough, they have much less of the habit as a society (where it hasn’t been law to wear seatbelts in the back seats). That translates into children not doing it either or getting the habit to. I have to remind people to wear one.
I don’t have to do this in Australia, where it’s been law for decades. We all just do it. Partially from very hands off enforcement.
I’m not even sure why I’m trying to convince you though.
You’re a lost cause if you’re whinging about seatbelts. And then digging your heels in, coming up with ridiculous strawman arguments like policing BMI.
Don’t come to Australia, you’d be a liability to the voter base.
It’s much easier to wear and police seatbelts, and totally worth it. If you could feasibility do the same for high BMI, yeah, that’d be great, but they’re not really comparable. The imposition on the individual would far outweigh the benefit to society.
Seatbelts? Wooooooow, must be so hard to put it on, right? Such an effort!! Seriously, what a whinge.
People who whinge about the “nanny state” really need to get a grip.
The cost to your “freedom” here is negligible, whereas the benefits are undeniable.
Seriously, get a grip.
Edit to add: from Australia. So don’t lump me in with your right-wing liberals
Do you also think it should be the law for car manufacturers to provide seatbelts? If you don’t, then you’ve got an even worse take
Wearing a seatbelt should 100% be the law. It affects others, you’re just doing mental gymnastics to pretend it doesn’t.
If you didn’t mandate seatbelt usage it would take up extra valuable hospital resources, extra valuable emergency response resources, and simply expose more people to death of someone they know.
Go live outside of society, if you truly feel this way. Honestly.
Take your downvotes as a small microcosm that the vast majority of society is not with you on this, and maybe reconsider.
The 3 down voters didn’t get the implied /s
If they keep not complying, which is my understanding of what apple has been doing, they should absolutely be bankrupted. Or something drastic.
A warning, which will make other companies self-Police, bringing down the cost of enforcement.
Countries are so permissive of corporate bad behaviour it’s not even funny.
Tesla being terrible not withstanding, electric vehicles require less maintenance than ICE vehicles, I believe.
That being said, fuck cars anyway, all my homies love walkable neighbourhoods with public and active transport
This is exactly what I expected in the second panel haha
Tangential: my friends made fun of me when I pronounced every syllable in phenolphthalein including the “f” of the second ph.

Maybe you should try 7 hours straight + 1 hour gay. Everyone has their own chromo type
Made an edit for clarity.
QR codes are great, linking me to a website where I need to provide my email and phone number to get food is annoying
Oh sorry, I was referring to when the ordering is through a website, where you provide your email and phone number in order to pay.
Often times, they’re harvesting your personal details.
I really wish it were possible to mask my number, but in my country that’s not really possible.
The one thing I’ve done, is get an alt number as an esim, that I use to receive codes, or whoever you’re required to provid a number.
Mean I know with certainty any call I get on that number is spam, or any text I receive I haven’t initiated it spam.
I’d much prefer it I could get throw away numbers though
I hear you but what cranked it up to 1000?
I unfortunately am not versed enough in the topic to give a full answer on this, I’d guess upbringing, then personal experiences?
I suppose it’s similar to people who are arseholes in general.
Sorry for the very underwhelming answer haha
The #1 reason I hate QR codes (edit: directing to a website to order & pay for a restaurant online) is because they make you agree to further terms and conditions like collecting data on you.
All just to fucking order food.
Shit should 100% be illegal.
I’m not against the concept of having digital ordering as an option. But it must be an option, and without any data collection
Maximum password lengths at anything below 64 characters grinds my gears.
Signed up for a bank account once that limited you to 12 characters. 12. And you could only chose from like 4 special characters.
No 2FA. No no. But the customer service agent pointed out they require you to also use a 6 digit second password!
That’s a 18 digit password where 6 of them must be numbers.
Absolute travesty.
Is it? We (all countries) need wayyyyy more storage, and we need it yesterday if we’re going to transition in time to avoid catastrophic climate change.
Using substantial resources on solar panels that just end up getting curtailed, on roofs not angled in an optimal way, is a huge waste
