I wanted to joke and say "black mirror is a documentary" but apparently there's an actual black mirror episode where the plot is *exactly* this.
We really need to hold @Roblox and the studios doing this garbage accountable. We need this crap to be regulated if not illegal.
Все эти обсуждения о том, что народ вот поднимется когда-нибудь и как что-то сделает абсолютно нереалистичные и ошибочные. Население приучено к покорству, избеганию политики, а ещё очень запугано. А если и будет протест, то он будет ликвидирован всей мощью полиции, а в крайнем
I went to park my car yesterday and the sign said "Download the app to pay." No coin slot. No pay station. No option to just hand someone some money like a normal human being. Just "download the app."
Well what if I don't WANT an app? What if I don't HAVE a smartphone? What if I just want to pay with cash like we've been doing for the last hundred years? Apparently that's too much to ask. Everything's an app now. Parking. Ordering food. Paying bills. Checking into a doctor's appointment.

Cash just... works. But apparently that's not good enough anymore. We have to "modernize." We have to "go digital." Well I'll tell you what. If my cash isn't good enough for you, I'll take my business somewhere else.
Because I'm not downloading an app just to pay for a parking spot. And I'm not going to be forced out of society just because I don't want to carry a computer in my pocket everywhere I go.
