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.

Skill issue

Maybe you should try 7 hours straight + 1 hour gay. Everyone has their own _ch_romo 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

I honestly want to fight businesses who don’t have a website.

Website hosting is dirty cheap, domains are dirt cheap (relative to other costs of the business).

If you’re a retail/hospitality venue your traffic is so low.

If you point me to a Facebook or Instagram page as your only web presence (meaning, no organisation at all, just bloody chronological posts, and maaaaybe some useful information in the page bio), I’m gonna be annoyed.

The number of times some business or organisation updates things on Facebook and Instagram, and not on their website, is frustrating.

Has happened to me many, many times, where I turn up to something that isn’t happening because they’ve only posted it on Instagram

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.

Personal experience from when I was newly an adult, and chatting with a female university classmate and somehow got on the topic of games and I started explaining what Steam was, because I just subconsciously assumed, her being a woman, didn’t know.

She politely pointed out I had mansplained to her.

I am very thankful to her for the experience as it’s stuck with me and saved me from making a fool of myself on more than one occasion since.

I’m sure there are possibly small things like this, that you may have been been “guilty” of in the past.

These men, are engaging in similar behaviour cranked up to 1000.

However, it’s even more malicious with them, because it’s not like the last 30 years or so haven’t had constant and increasing messaging (in the anglosphere, at least) about feminism and ways in which women have been treated unfairly.

So, it’s not like they haven’t had the opportunity to reflect, and change.

In summary, yeah, it is kind of baffling, but I will say society, while largely better than 30 years ago, still does have structural as well as conscious and unconcious bias towards women.

So I’m not surprised people like this exist.

Then it’ll just be so in my heart

This feels like a Lemmy OC, is it?
