Ok but maybe was there a map to a treasure printed on the back of the hard drive?

I think the joke is that management thinks the jobs replaced will be the workers. But even CEOs work for the capital class.

Starting and ending every prompt and response with Sir probably doesn’t help.

There’s dozens of us

Also, kicking down the door leaves evidence and usually require some sort of justification or approval. If they have a key to a backdoor, they don’t have to tell anyone they were inside, or ask for permission to use it.

Then this conversation isn’t about you. Many places have exceptions to minimum wage for tipped employees. That, plus tip-out policies means that serving a customer that doesn’t tip can actually cost the server money.

We’re talking about the problem of tipping culture and complaints about being expected to tip too much. If you live in a country that pays waitstaff well, then this conversation isn’t about you. You can self select based on context clues.

I agree with you, and I don’t have a job that relies on tips. But I live in a place where tips are the source of income for servers, so if I use their services, I tip. I also vote for politicians who want to raise wages for servers and eliminate the exceptions to the minimum wages.

Tipping culture sucks. You and I agree on that. Servers should be paid decent wages, and tipping should be optional.

That ain’t the system we got, though. And you don’t change the system by abusing the victims of the system.

Did someone say this, or did you imagine it? 20% is standard for good service, but anything less than 15% is message that there was something wrong with the service. If you cannot afford to pay for good service, you should not seek good service.

Edit: Lotta downvotes, but all I’m hearing are the same tired arguments from cheap keyboard warriors who hate poor people. Nobody can point to anybody saying 40% is standard, and nobody has a solution to tipping culture that doesn’t involve victimizing tipped employees. You want to fix the system, let’s do that, but until we do, pay for the services you asked for.

They covered the Epstein files and nobody had any consequences.

No.

No, it’s better to have awareness of both. What needs to be done, how long it takes, and what dependencies exist. I feel like taking a nap, but I have work and house chores. So I’ll take care of some small things that aren’t too taxing while I drink coffee and regain some energy.

If I press the brake, it should brake. ABS systems work well, but otherwise there should not be any logic built into not braking when I want to brake. Add all the automation into braking for me if there is an imminent collision detected. Extra braking is good. Less braking than I have asked for is bad.

4 in 10 are fucking dipshits.

How else do you think they stay on?

Among Greeks, if you say Alexandros (or Philip for that matter) then people will know who you are talking about. But basically, those names are still in use. Caesar became the word for leaders rather than a name, and it’s relatively rare as a first name.

Charlemagne is actually Charles le magne which means Charles the Great. If you called him “King Charles” you’d need to be much more specific.

I can’t speak for Attila, because I don’t know if the name is popular in any particular cultures. Certainly in the USA, the Hun king is the most famous Attila.

Slim Shady is an interesting example, because its’s basically branding for Marshall Mathers aka Eminem. One of his first widespread hits was a song essentially saying that he’s the only real Slim Shady, and anyone else using that nickname is a copycat poser.

A government that will kidnap, mutilate, torture, and kill innocent civillians for any reason will kidnap, mutilate, torture, and kill innocent civillians for any reason.

If ads weren’t obtrusive and deceptive, I wouldn’t feel the need to block them.

Ok, you’re ill-informed.
