Pretty sure a pedestrian-stepping-in-front-of-a-normal-tram’s day isn’t going to be any better.

Perhaps they shouldn’t be operating dangerous machinery if they’re not fully involved in what they’re doing.

I’ve been using a GameSir Cyclone 2 for about a year. Have the occasional issue where a game doesn’t detect it properly, but is great when it works.

That jukebox scene is about the only bit I still remember. The Prey from 2017 was much more my style and has an amazing opening sequence as well.

Given our stance it’s probably for the best this time.

Their moderation approach is a big part of why it’s a great place to search for answers.

The single best thing people can do to end tipping culture is to just stop tipping.

Vote for social safety nets or make donations to care for those who will be harmed by this.

But right now it’s people like you that are perpetuating tipping culture.

And yes, I am an asshole - but it’s not solely because of my stance on tipping.

It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

So one of his examples is that he bought stolen goods and when they were returned to the original owner he felt he deserved them as well? If he didn’t submit a charge back he’s complicit in supporting this fraud. The vendor should have offered to sell him a copy for the price he paid to the scammer instead.

I think port forwarding is more important for seeding when it comes to torrents. Someone has to be able to initiate the connection.

Yeah, I’m okay with discouraging abbreviations. But a blanket ban is silly.

Comments on a post about a New York Times article regarding the United States should probably be fine to use NYT & US.

Comments talking about the best computer role playing game going on and on about PoE2 deserve a ban however.

Good luck getting getting them to pay for a trans operation.

Cool. Not at all what I was arguing - too hard to see from up on your high horse?

I was hugely impressed by how well Caves of Qud handles controller support. Definitely worth a look if you’re interested in how these types of games can maintain access to so many different functions.

Speaking as someone who has been subjected to slurs and violence for who and what I am - why should simple exposure to slurs be where we draw the line? For me it was almost always about the hatred behind them; discussions about someone else’s hate for me are going to hit the same whether the words are printed or not.

I don’t think the word should have been censored here - either print it or drop the quote.

Nor do I think a report critical of someone using slurs is normalizing the use of them by quoting them. This isn’t the casual use of slurs in everyday language as a synonym for bad.

Servers make the same federal minimum everyone else does, their employer just gets to claim ~$5.50 an hour from tips in order to pay it. More in states with a higher minimum.

If no one tips the employer has to pay the full minimum wage themselves, not just $2.

I don’t understand how this is any different to just not tipping? Both situations lead to the worker needing to look for another job, right?

This is just wrong. If tips stopped tomorrow you’d still get whatever your state minimum wage is (or at least the $7.50 federal minimum).

The standard federal minimum wage still applies. If tips aren’t enough to get you there then the employer has to make up the difference.

Tips are literally a subsidy paid to your employer so that they don’t have to pay you (just the $2.13 federal tipped minimum wage).

Your advice would require people to drastically change their lives right now. Everything’s tipped.

Telling people to stop tipping requires almost nothing from them.

And yes, it will make things worse for the exploited workers - they’ll have to find new jobs if they’re not happy with their agreed-upon remuneration. But it’s this that will convince the employer to pay more - if they can’t attract staff they’ll have to offer more

Stopping tipping also puts the burden where it should be. You are the one saying your pay isn’t enough (and thus need tipping) - you fight for it yourself.
