EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.

I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.

Yeah being unable to open… checks notes local news websites from the US has been a real deal breaker

Sometimes its relieving when you go to do something and you find out that you have already finished, lol.

I have run into this recently on several non-US, non-news sites. I have actually never run into it on US local news sites, so I don't know what you're on about.

Yeah it’s a tragedy

In my experience it seems to be medical websites and recipe websites

Frankly I wish I could fit more US politics into my life, so it's been hard, I tells ya.
