It's not solving YOUR problem. It's solving Pizza Hut's problem of slow people in line taking time to select what they want.
Pizza Hut is a sit down restaurant where you're served by a waiter/waitress here in the UK. I don't understand why you'd be queuing up to select your food unless it's a takeaway, but who wants to eat a greasy, sloppy pizza while walking/driving along?
the "pickles ruined my life"-style mental illness,
Oh, thank God, it's not just me. I hate ordering a burger and having to remove the pickled gherkin. And tomato. And sliced onion. And lettuce. And bun.
The "SJW crowd" here is about half a dozen people who think that mutual respect and tolerance are not dirty words.
It's the rabid extreme right wing bigots, racists, elitists and misogynists who moan most about people trying to censor them when they read a comment critical of their ramblings.
Why do people like you think that there is something special about The Internet? You can indulge your racist paedophilic rape-murder fantasies all you want, but you are not immune from the law, which differentiates between badly written fiction and the real world.
The internet is just another artifact of society as a whole, and increasingly just a part of the military-industrial complex's mass pacification programme.
It also has incredible difficulty on issues like race or the Holocaust, of which many English-speaking countries it is illegal to openly espouse certain views.
As far as I am aware, it's only in Germany that it's actually illegal to be a Holocaust denier. You can openly espouse racist views in countries like the UK, as long as you aren't inciting racial hatred.
My MasterCard branded checking card can be run as debit or credit without issue at, well, pretty much anywhere except Peter Luger's Steak House.
It obviously depends where you live. In the UK, a lot of low budget places (e.g. Lidl supermarkets) won't take credit cards, and many small shops won't accept debit cards for transactions under GBP5.
I've been 98% cashless since the early 90s and never have more than a few dollars on me at any given time
If you live somewhere where a natural disaster is a possibility (earthquake / hurricane / tornado) it's prudent to have a stash of small denomination cash that you have easy access to (100 five-dollar bills, for example). Generally when disaster strikes things revert to a cash (or barter) economy.
That would only apply to a relatively minor natural disaster, presumably one which took out power so that credit cards didn't work?
In most civilised countries, minor power outages last for less than a day. Anything more than that, and you're probably talking about a disaster where you're grateful for anything you can scavange and/or the government will be stepping in to provide emergency shelter/food/water, where you few hundred in cash won't help at all.
People get pissed off at me bacause of the interest rates I get
More likely they get pissed off at you going on and on about the fucking interest rates you get because of your financial responsibility, when they're trying to talk about work, or the weather.
For people on the low end, I strongly recommend a ketamine trip. It fixed how I relate to the world, and I no longer need to fake normal human interaction. Dealing with people is now effortless.
Just remember kids, always take your medical advice from Anonymous Cowards on the internet, especially if it involves self-diagnosing mental conditions and using illegal drugs.
They can phrase it how they like, but there is a large extremely conservative element on slashdot who are racist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic elitists. With beards.
Just because someone is good with computers doesn't make them someone you'd want as a friend..
In the end, as I have said before, all I seek is a way to deter stoned people from going out in public. I don't care in the least how stoned people want to get at home as long as they stay there. The alcohol laws we currently have are intended to do much the same for drunks.
I assume you're from the US where "going out in public" automatically means you're driving a car?
Yes, because there has clearly been no difficulty in obtaining voluntary information about the effect of illegal drugs following an accident you've been involved in.
Obviously, you'd volunteer to Officer Friendly that you'd had a couple of smokes before eviscerating a school bus with your truck.

Must be a cultural thing.
the decision on what pizza to order often seems to be one of the most paralyzing decisions anyone ever faces
Christ, and I thought my life was a bit dull...compared to you I'm a Navy SEAL on crystal meth juggling nuclear hand grenades..
the "pickles ruined my life"-style mental illness,

Why should suicide threats be alerted?
Yeah, how dare anyone interfere with the right of mentally ill people to fuck themselves up?
It's literally Hitler.
I thought it was a bit sneaky how they omitted the usual "regular contributor..." early warning sign.
It just encourages people like everyone's favourite Regular Contributor.

He has never denied being involved in the notorious "Black Dahlia" case in 1940s LA.
But above all, he's a Regular Contributor.

To be fair, a Real Doll is almost certainly disease free. Unless you buy one secondhand...
Seriously, its the old 'spectacles testicles wallet and watch' only now its more like, 'keys, phone, wallet and X' where X is whatever else you carry
So in the past people would often leave the house without their testicles?
I've only ever heard that jingle used to remind people of the order they cross themselves in church.
My wallet is on a chain which links to my belt loop on my pants
Only people in biker gangs called things like "The Grim Rapers" can get away with that look.
In what way?

Ayn Rand would be proud of you.

There is literally nothing that could go wrong.

Just because someone is good with computers doesn't make them someone you'd want as a friend..
It could, if natural selection were biased toward intelligence.
Yes, because natural selection works on the sort of timescale between the invention of IQ tests and the present day (i.e. about 100 years).
Doesn't anyone know what the word "satire" means?
Someone please hand me the world's tiniest violin.
Your comment is extremely racist.
I think, without a doubt, you win the "whoosh of the year" award here on slashdot.
