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…
the US is completely fucking insane, all the stuff we hear about countries like china and north korea basically actually happen in the US and no one gives a fuck, and americans just find it so normal that they don’t realize others would think it’s fucked up
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

Yep, Americans have less freedom than North Koreans because we can’t tether our phones data service to our laptops. /s
I fully support net neutrality, but there are bigger problems than not being able to tether your phone’s data plan to your laptop.
