Literally McDonald’s has this thirty second long ad of people coming through drive thru to purchase their socially distanced, perfectly healthy McGrease with Extra Cholesterol and a side of Diabetes

    I agree, but counterpoint: the amount of accommodation that's been built into transactions now is probably great for people with physical disabilities or mental health issues. Like someone somewhere has been wishing to take care of everything from their laptop or without leaving their car for years and is now finally able to with nearly zero interaction. (Mcdonald's curbside app is weirdly one of the most advanced examples of this: I could probably be mute, blind, and paraplegic and still manage it. Add in driverless cars and you've got yourself a deal. Other places are pretty good, even my mom and ma'am local cafe, but not quite "push buttons, park, and wait" good.)

    Advertising can always fuck off though. Very glad to not have TV ads in my life.

      Oh yeh, some of the solutions to the Covid problem have good applications. Im just referring to the advertisement thing. I only see ads on YouTube or on the sports at work, and it’s still too often.
