Thanks

I don’t have a problem with tipping. I have a problem with restauranteurs taking the profits and the customer being asked for more and more tips. I can’t help people’s life situations, and I’m sure they aren’t all down on their luck any more than someone working retail. Yeah, I avoid places that expect big tips, so the servers get no tip at all instead of some tip.

I’ve started using SearXNG. Are these better?

I’m tired of this excuse. These people took the job knowing what the pay rate was, and are demanding the customer pay their salary directly rather than the employer like virtually any other conventional job does. Customers have had it, they’re being told to give employees raises along with rising food costs, even at businesses that don’t do a damn thing for the customer except maybe hand them a to-go box. 20% for that? F no. Grow a spine and demand real pay, people have had it. IDK how I can travel almost any modern place else in the world, pay for a good meal, and only have to leave the approximation of $1 or so for appreciation of the service, but in America I pay for the food and a separate charge for the employee’s “pay”.

Meme-maker probably didn’t vote.

I mean for the service to block them or eliminate the troll accounts. Not for the user to do so.

Can they not just block these? I get that this is a never ending battle against troll farms and the like, but is BSky already falling to the “more engagement is better and we don’t care if it’s nefarious engagement” trap already?

Couple that with this:

U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans Monday night to impose massive tariffs on Taiwan-made chips in an attempt to incentivize companies to relocate production to the United States. On the one hand, this could reduce American companies’ reliance on Taiwan in general and TSMC in particular. On the other hand, building a semiconductor fab takes three to four years, so the effect of production moving to the US due to tariffs may not be felt for some time.

I can hear the prices falling for consumers already.

Sorry it’s a Fox link, but it was the top result.

Basically the dumbass is knee-jerk undoing everything Biden did because it was done by democrats, and of course doing it without thinking about the results.

So kill the CHIPS act because Biden bad, and slap tariffs on random shit because of something someone told him once that foreign stuff = bad and it makes him look strong, but never actually think that harming your own technology production + jacking up prices on your imported tech might be a shitty combo for your citizens and businesses.

As opposed to all the leaking oil pipelines, petroleum fires, leaking methane, etc? No, this place has a pretty poor track record, but let’s not make it “the industry”.

Only if you ignore all the leaking pipelines, oil refinery fires, leaking methane, oil spills, coal emissions, etc…

Easy for you to say. Most of the time kids will try to be a part of their parent’s lives. It’s really easy to suggest you’d crash out at the first opportunity, but a lot of people in abusive relationships don’t for a multitude of reasons we won’t fit into this discussion. Especially true for kids as parents are a child’s whole world. There’s no shortage of tales of kids spending a lifetime trying to work around a parent who is abusive or destructive.

Better way for the dictator in chief to directly control the government with his latest whim and completely skip congress or any other people actually in charge.

A decade later: My kids don’t talk to me. I don’t get it.

Of course. The people with the problem seeing the left picture are the people on the right.

Absolutely his freedom to say and do what he wants. Everyone else can f’ked.

Their truth.

Their alternative facts.

The actual truth is for snowflakes and liberals to get upset over.

Eh…no. Grinder !=quality. It’s just a feature, maybe it was more common back in the day, but like I said, I’ve never had one. Sure, there are plenty of cheapo dishwashers, but I can assure you if one were actually to purchase a dishwasher that is actually quiet, they aren’t cheap.

You’re simultaneously arguing that history cannot be deflected, yet are offering candidates for hypothetical assassination that would do just that.

Pick one.

Food grinders?

I have yet to have a disposal built in. Also, the noise isn’t supposed to last the entire wash cycle. All dishwashers I’ve had have a screen that requires occasional cleaning to prevent food from getting to the pump because the water is recycled in the machine for efficiency reasons.
