    We live in a corporate hellhole so you’ll get a screen just big enough to play obnoxious ads instead.

      Hey, the thoughts I have while I’m showering do not account for the dystopic problems that’ll likely prevent their implementation. My shower is a happy place.

          You’re only allowed to pee in the shower while you’re in the shower. Common courtesy says you need to sneak into the shower behind OP first.

      PSA: At every Exxon Mobil I’ve been to, when the screen on the pump starts vomiting up ads as you’re pumping your gas, if you tap the 2nd button from the top on the right side of the screen, it mutes it.

      Enjoy your peaceful gas station visit.

          There are some around here where you can hit all 8 buttons or whatever is there, and NOTHING will mute! Then I just hide back in my car and hide from the hell that is advertising. Most of the time they will mute. What an awful idea to push on people.

      the screen will be large. Mostly because it was a good idea by some well-meaning soul. The problem is there was a soulless corpo bureaucrat that inserted themselves into the implementation process.

          And some, I’ve noticed, actually started labeling the mute button. I couldn’t believe it!

          (Its usually the third button down, on the right, labeled or not.)

      assuming the charger works… which I’ve heard a certain charger company seems to have trouble keeping their shit functional.
