I remember my FIL asking each one if they were trying to supplement a living or if they were purely a for-profit capitalist venture taking advantage of an opportunity at an anti-capitalist protest.
Out of curiosity, how would he draw that line? When does it stop counting as a living and start being a purely for-profit venture?
Not tipping doesn’t fix this problem, it just makes someone get payed less.
Just in case it wasn’t clear, when one is not tipping, they are very literally not giving people money. The only “people” you are giving money to are the owners of the service, not the wage workers you may otherwise have tipped.
Nothing on Lemmy is posted on basis of “needs to be mentioned”,
Literally everything on Lemmy was said for a reason. Bad reasons exist, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Tipping causes lower wages because it relieves the employers of the obligation of paying their workers. Also, I am talking about systemic change,
Tipping doesn’t “cause” lower wages. Tipping becoming an expected social norm can cause that, or exacerbate it. But you as an individual choosing not to tip doesn’t really impact that. It certainly doesn’t effect systemic change. If the norm is already present, all you’re doing is literally lowering one individual’s wages by not tipping them, and if it’s not then what you’re doing is making a statement to that individual (ranging from “I come from America” to “you were really exceptional”).
Tipping occasionally doesn’t cause this problem either.
Being vocal about never tipping implies that it’s an exceptional stance for some reason. If that’s the norm where you live, why does it need to be mentioned?
Not tipping doesn’t fix this problem, it just makes someone get payed less. If you want to fix the issue, regulate it out of existence. You aren’t changing the culture, you’re just being a bit of a dick.
There was a picture of him in the link you shared, he looks almost exactly like the director guy in that movie. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was the model they based it on
Kreacher really wants to be a good slave, he just wants to be a good slave for the bad guys. So it’s okay to abuse him, see?
…is Chuck Palahniuk the director of the Truman Show? The show?
That’s okay. Did you know it has sequels?
Yeah, but how do you qualify that?
Just maybe don’t chew those ones.
They have a high alcohol diet?
I’m asking how people intend to use that number.
Do you have a clear way of defining “clickbait” or is it just vibes?
- Too many typos, spelling mistakes, emojis, or grammatical errors
Got it, no writing like a senator on Twitter. Or X, or whatever.
Um, I think you mean octopodes.
Fun fact, there’s a Wikipedia article that comes up for “plurals of words ending in -us” with a section jus for octopus.
I can post without images all the time, on boost on Android.
Sounds like a more concise description of my same strategy, yeah.
…AI generated jeans spammers? What did I miss?
L stands for leap year, so that tracks.
