I DON'T WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE APP TO PAY FOR PARKING. I DON'T WANT TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT TO SEE A MENU. I DON'T WANT TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON A 30 SECOND INTERACTION. I JUST WANT TO EXIST IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD WITHOUT A DIGITAL LEASH.

I bought tickets to a jack white concert. "no phones allowed" policy at all his shows, no problem, I'll just leave it at home. tried to print the tickets in advance, can't, digital only, need the app. so I was forced to DL the ticket app and bring my phone in to the venue only to have it locked in a bag for the duration of the show. make it make sense!
You choose for choice to keep disappearing. You decided anti-intellectualism is worth it, you asked for the world to keep getting more retarded, that's what you get. I'm tired of you tribalists bitching about what you wanted.
I never said you created it by naming it, I said you created it by being anti-intellectual and tribalist. You're wasting my fucking time, and your own, and everyone's. If you want to stop having a shittier world, stop making the world shittier. If you want to keep fucking the world up, at least shut the fuck up about how it backfires on you

“Anti intellectual” from a guy who’s thrown four insults and zero arguments. Physician, heal thyself.

You sound amazingly intelligent
Parking should always have an in-cash option, or at least a credit card. I don't think a municipal agency can legally require you to "download an app."
Was on holiday in the uk recently. Had to download an app to pay for parking only I couldn’t because my App Store account is not Uk based. What a shit show.
The future will be full of friction aka third parties that all have a claim to "their" fair share.
Just do not have a bank account. Do not consent/pay. If you don't have a bank account the system doesn't have a grip on you.
```Junghuhn saw an immense field entirely covered with skeletons, and took it to be a battlefield. However they were nothing but skeletons of large turtles, five feet long, three feet broad, and of equal height. These turtles come this way from the sea, in order to lay their eggs, and are then seized by wild dogs (canis rutilans); with their united strength, these dogs lay them on their backs, tear open their lower armour, the small scales of the belly, and devour them alive. But then a tiger often pounces on the dogs. Now all this misery is repeated thousands and thousands of times, year in, year out.```

FUCK YEAH!!!! PREACH!!!
I just wouldn't comply with them. No app is going on my phone that is mandated to me, they probably won't like the fact its rooted anyway. If I have to create an account to see the menu I'd probably ask for a physical menu. If I then get told there is none i'd walk. For the parking if there is no physical way to pay I couldn't pay since I don't have mobile payments to begin with.
