Wow, waited half day for that, that’s a little depressing.

It’s super fun, though! Especially when the other person actually has a personality and is willing to mix it up.

No,i just find you personally distasteful and don’t mind that you know it.

Agreed, the entire system of tipping the American way should be fucking illegal. Wait staff should earn a living wage. I think it’s way more complicated than that, and you see pushback from the owners and the servers, and any movements to change it haven’t had enough backing socially to change anything.

But that’s kinda how it works, you choose to engage with it by going to an establishment with enployees that rely on tips. I mean hell, most of the time if you have a bad experience it’s due to something the waiter can’t control. Kitchen issues, staffing levels, poorly handled rushes. Being gleeful about how little you tip because of how things have changed… just don’t go out. Avoid having a shitty experience and being a shitty experience for someone else.

This is for you love! So, at least one of your interactions wasn’t shitty in your life ❤️.

At least that’s something, I doubt you do that cause I’ve already seen your justification. Honestly the person handing you drink after drink at the bar, wondering if they need to finally cut you off doesn’t care. I’m guessing they’re just happy to be rid of you. Eat alone isn’t advice I need to give you… is it?

The expensive part is big. Inflation on bar and restaurant drinks is real. Drinks where I am are a minimum of 15 usd with 20-25 not being outside the realm of possibility. I started tipping 2 dollars a drink a few years ago at bars. But I’m not getting a dozen drinks, or drinking every day at bars, even every weekend.

I can see these tips really adding up if you do this a lot, especially restaurants where two people + tip for a couple that gets two drinks each is 120-150 usd all day. Wages aren’t exactly catching up to any of that.

Game 101? Wow, every comment worse “social pressure doesn’t work on me” you aren’t tipping Batman, you aren’t tipping Joker, you’re just a jerk who should be eating at home.

You should honestly stop going out at all, the person who is broken post covid is you. You’re taking it out on random wait staff you are choosing to patronize. Make your food yourself, drink your drinks at home, then the only person you’re making miserable is the person in the mirror.

Republicans and dems do this all the time in different states, it’s always performative. Both sides always threaten to arrest the other. This time, the Texas Republicans successfully got the warrants approved as of last Friday, so big surprise the dems are back.

Now instead of leaving, they’re having a sleepover to ensure they’ll be there fresh and ready for the vote.

If you want to see Newsome policy, look at PG&E. He talked a big game around 2019-2020 about holding them accountable after entire towns were destroyed, hundreds killed due to poor equipment replacement and maintenance practices. They were gonna be made public, fined into oblivion, etc…

He’s taken hundreds of thousands (could be millions) from them at this point and has not only created legislation to protect them against liability, but to destroy the consumer friendly solar buyback programs. He’s actually actively fucking residential rooftop solar in the state.

When people actually listened to how he thought on his podcast, they hated it. Now he’s flipped to this shit, and it’s working, and I hate it. This is where democratic national money will flow, into the rich boys pockets, rather than a dude like Mamdani.

It’s such a silly and disingenuous argument. The most recent version of gerrymandering arguably began with REDMAP in 2010, which was in response to Obama winning. Before that, it was used almost exclusively to disenfranchise black voters before the voting rights act in 1965. Before that, it was used by both parties in unison to maintain the supremacy of incumbents.

The American system adopted it from across the pond. Rotten and pocket burroughs were frequent in the 18th century and actually started getting outlawed in the 19th century right when the Jeffersonian republicans went hard with it.

The Jeffersonian republican/democratic republican is the father of both major parties, it split into the northern republicans (anti- slavery) and southern democrats (mostly pro-slavery).

Neither of those parties resemble the modern parties, which flipped ideologies during the Civil Rights Movement, among their most recent changes.

So, it would be safer to say that American gerrymandering was created by the precursor to both modern parties.

There’s been an unbalancing of top down power, especially in venture capital, we will pay for these decisions down the line.

That’s perfect for higher ups. They don’t care if what you release has bugs as long as you work on them when they pop up, they consider that part of your job. They want a result quickly and will accept 85% if it moves the needle forward.

These people don’t care about technical debt, they don’t care about exploits until it happens to them, then it’s how bad and how long to fix. No one cares about doxxes anymore, it’s just the cost of doing business. Like recalls.

This is perfect for CEOs and billionaires because they don’t care how something is done at a 35,000 foot view, they just want it now. AI is a nightmare of exploits that haven’t even begun to be discovered yet. Things that will be easily exploitable, especially by other algorithms.

Coders are just as effected by supply and demand, and the demand is for AI products.

“If someone is holding a bat in one hand and a duck in the other, they are a terrorist”

Shit, how about every Asian during covid for a recent example.

This was unironically Maytag, they enshitified with the rest. The Maytag man was a real thing.

Naw, they shitty, horrible kids with bad opinions, but if I felt as strongly as you, and had a much free time, (my god i wish i had your time), I’d spend the same time repping this place and less time trying to gentrify it into another political war zone. But by all means dehumanize these stupid kids until you only see an enemy to safer defeat.

I choose quarantine over spending yours days documenting internet morons.

Edit: I’m so stupid, I just realized that’s the problem. I only have time to be annoyed by this shit to the point where I post about it cause I have all this time on a vacation. Whereas this is what you spend ALL your time doing. I’ll be gone from needling you in a few days, you’ll remain here as a super goofy and chill dude!
