I might be wrong, but didn't Einstein say something about WW3 being fought with a club? Maybe this is the beginning of that developement back to the roots.
I admit I don't know a lot about this type of stuff, but there must be some (probably super involved) way to get this enforced. I mean it is written in law so there must be some way to fight it, but you'd probably have to sue the Ordnungsamt or the city some shit like that.
Calm down. I didn't say it's not what's happening. Yes it is happening, especially in bigger citys. Yes it is incredibly annoying. But that doesn't mean it's legal. Have you tried to do anything about it?
No it's not. You can't park your car on the sidewalk unless explicitly allowed by a sign. If you park on the sidewalk you have to pay a fine, if your car is blocking something you also get a Punkt in Flensburg.
I hate that version with a passion. It takes away the simplicity of the original and turns it into an overproduced heap of garbage. I can hear the Autotune running hot to make it perfect. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with other people liking it, but I have to turn off the radio when it's on because I just can't stand it.
I don't think it's about intelligence. I knew All Star before Shrek came out, but I still think about Shrek when I hear it because I just watched that movie a lot as a kid and built up that association. Does that make me stupid?
in your example thenproblem is the purchase method, not the payment method. Same thing would have happened if you payed with crypto.
