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 tried Jellyfin out on my most recent build - don’t think it’s quite as good as Plex so far. Still using it though - I think either is perfectly fine for a simple home media server.

Probably. As others have said here no one seems bothered by female leads in good stories - but the focus on gender when it’s a bad story is probably sexist.

I’m likely guilty of this myself, grumbling about “woke nonsense” and blaming the ideological messaging for the bad writing rather than just the bad writers.

It’s not all doom and gloom though - check out this list of books. Lots of highly rated entries there with female protagonists - many of which are targeted at a broad audience, not just women.

Isn’t it still a straight line from the perspective of someone travelling it? It just appears curved because you’re looking at it from outside the curved surface.

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.

It’s so much nicer travelling in places where service workers are valued by their employers.

I still support the anti-tipping people though - it’s the single best option they have to effect change. It’s something small, concrete, and moves things to the desired end-state.

Stop tipping and donate the amount to community organizations fighting poverty instead.

Why not? He was personally seeing to their security.

If you outsource your work, you outsource your reputation. BYD is absolutely responsible for the conditions of the workers.

Spills and dropped items are kind of expected in a kitchen, no? Wouldn’t most of this damage be categorized as normal wear and tear? As a tenant it’s not expected that you hand back the property exactly as it was when you took possession - it’s up to the landlord to budget for normal maintenance.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous is an amazing game if you can look past the politics though. Also, the spyware thing is pretty standard now - it’s usually called “telemetry” in most EULAs. I haven’t read it closely enough to know if they’re overreaching any worse than others, but they did walk back including the AppFlyer tool after pushback from users.

You might need to try a different therapist.

I can’t tell whether this is supposed to be advice on what to do or not. I can certainly see people getting upset at all of them for putting your feelings and perspective at the forefront however.

Any possibility, no matter how small, becomes a certainty when dealing with infinity. You seem to fundamentally misunderstand this.

Why would you need to buy your own crypto? The only purpose of these trades is to mislead others.
