[The service charge is] an added fee controlled by the restaurant that helps facilitate a higher living base wage
Great! I don’t need to tip because they already pay their employees a fair wage.

Great! I don’t need to tip because they already pay their employees a fair wage.
Alternative option: the service fee is the tip because there’s no way I’m paying more than what’s on that bill.
Restaurant: $11 cannelloni and $6 beer.
Lemmy: fuck the rich for paying these high prices!
He took records to Chinatown? Like, he went for noodles at lunch or something?
it was competitive with basketball 30 years ago
Bettman supporters keep saying how much the revenue has grown under his leadership while conveniently forgetting that every other league has grown its revenue faster than the NHL. As you say, the NHL used to be competitive with the NBA, and in fact, had higher overall revenue 30 years ago.
Bettman hid most of his underperforming league revenue by expanding the league. The new teams didn't perform well, but they boosted overall revenue enough to let Bettman keep his job. Now we're left with a league where 6-8 teams should die in order to improve overall league health. It's unlikely that Bettman or any future commissioner will admit how massive the problem is, so we'll just get teams that are always threatening to become bankrupt, dragging down the rest of the league.
They truly believe that any gay symbolism is pushy.
It is in your face, especially during pride month. But that's the point. It's in your face so we can talk about how gay people are treated, what they've overcome, and show that they are being included in places they previously weren't. You can't do that if it's not in your face.
So, they've got a point when they claim that gay symbolism is pushy. I'd ask them why they think it's useful to be pushy.
I hate ads as much as anyone and have been blocking them for almost as long as ad blockers have existed. I still acknowledge the fact that ads are the primary revenue source for a lot of things on the Internet, and I selectively enable them for content I want to pay for.
How do you think Youtube is supposed to survive without ads or subscriptions? When they puts ads on their site, the unsaid agreement is that you exchange your ad views for their service.
I can envision a world where the search bar is an AI prompt. What a time to be alive that will be!
I wonder if we can also browse other peoples' prompts. That would be cool.
Staying inside is no defence against bears.
I'm currently working with a client that doesn't have a health endpoint or any kind of monitoring on their new API . They say monitoring isn't needed because it will never go down.
Naturally it went down on day two. They still haven't added any "unnecessary" monitoring, insisting that it will never go down.
I'm sure google will never pull the same stunt as Amazon. They're the good guys!
Bell TV in Canada doesn't support Samsung TVs because Bell is stupid. The only option is to use an external device. It's a good thing I don't care about their TV app. I only have access because it comes free with fibre internet.
I empathize with your story, but I'm not sure why it became about anti-women doctors. Men constantly have our complaints misdiagnosed.
The problem is that most GPs aren't very good. People who do the best in medical school often choose to become surgeons or specialists, not GPs.
How is he an alt-right pipeline when he also had people like Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders on, and even endorsed Sanders?
Yeah, Joe Rogan describes himself as a liberal. He has guests who he thinks will be interesting, not who he agrees with. I understand the idea of wanting to know what makes those people tick.
There is still a great point to be made that he's giving awful people a large platform to spew hateful or wrong messages to millions of people, and while Rogan often plays devil's advocate, he doesn't do much to delegitimize people who don't deserve to be taken seriously.
Ultimately, I think that Rogan does more harm than good because he allows hateful and stupid people to influence his audience.
Good cops are usually punished for calling out bad cops. The system is broken.
You called him a pedo, but he doesn't appear to be one. Correcting your mistake doesn't mean anyone is defending him.
There are also pedestrian safety laws. I'm not convinced that the Cybertruck is less safe than any other similar-sized pickup truck. If anything, the nose is a bit lower, so it'd let a pedestrian fall on the hood more than if they were hit by another truck.
Either way, the stainless steel isn't going to be a factor, and the pickup market is flooded with vehicles that are less safe for pedestrians than lower cars.
anyone who can’t comply can’t serve you.
That's not true. If the company isn't doing business in the EU, they don't need to comply with the GDPR. What I mean is, they're entirely outside the jurisdiction of the EU and are not required to comply with any EU law. If the EU decides they want to force a non-EU company to comply, they have no ability to do so.
Cookie consent is the tip of the iceberg for GDPR compliance. If you're not collecting any user data for any reason, such as account creation, then you're probably ok with cookie consent, but GDPR is non trivial to comply with for companies collecting personal data.
That sounds like the exact same amount of steps as tipping.
