The tipping system is fucked, but that doesn’t at all change the fact that it’s baked into the system. EVERYONE (in that moment) expects you to to tip; so if you don’t, you’re effectively stealing from the server.
If you don’t want to tip, your only options are to either not eat out at restaurants, or to find restaurants that have “Hospitality Included” service (a trend which I’m thankful to see growing – albeit slowly).
Both can be true
Unfortunately Tesla is up 34% from its low in March (I know because I shorted them before their earnings)
I’m at least relieved to not have lead poisoning, for my gay brother to be safely out, and for my interracial marriage to not be scorned by the community.
Saw him in real life once… he yelled “shut your mouths” to his fans chanting for him to come outside. His whole appearance that day and how he treated those around him has forever made me dislike him.
Yeah we’re far from perfect, but for better or worse we would be the smallest culture shock (it would kinda feel like moving to a new state).
Small correction: Bounce rate going UP is what you’re trying to achieve
Oh, okay fair enough. I meant in this comment section in particular.
I don’t see any comments from progressives arguing that this is a good thing or that Democrats shouldn’t have effective fundraising.
You only talk like that when you know you’re being overheard (and maybe plan to leak it too)
I hope it popularizes the idea of algorithmic control.
Canada (Ontario) here. Was taught explicitly to say “point three two”
Cornstarch!
Me too. Invested in my setup last year :(
I’m still glad they wrote the piece.
Every time we come up with a technical term to describe people with medical impairments to their intelligence, people begin using it as an insult.
I guess here’s hoping “intellectually disabled” doesn’t catch on (hopefully too wordy).
Well I don’t give passes to Nazis (and the world is a bigger place than just the US). I guess I’ll just vote in favour of policies that we both support, rally against policies and parties that we both hate, and continue to advocate for a more equitable world.
You might not call me an ally, but I’ll call you one. (at least based on our limited interaction)
You’re fighting me for some reason (a self described liberal), who also wants to move the world forward to build an equitable world. By your definition I might be a leftist, but I (and others) don’t identify with that label.
“self-identifying liberals as they exist in the world today”
The world is a big place. Not sure if you mean “liberal” in the US context, “Liberal” as in the Canadian political party. “Neo-liberal” as in Economic position of Friedman economics, etc…
Leftist is also a relative term and isn’t very useful. You likely believe in important structural reforms surrounding minimum wage (perhaps UBI), environmental protection, universal affordable/accessible healthcare, strict banking regulation, drastic progressive taxation, harsh penalties for white collar crime, etc… But “left” of what, I doubt youre pushing for authoritarianism or communism?
My point is there are literally Nazis we are fighting right now. Maybe stop with the infighting as a result of ambiguous labels.
Okay, then at the very least when you walk in you should declare your intention to not tip. Still shitty towards the server that gets stuck with you, but now it causes conflict amongst the staff and brings the issue to a head.
