  • Yes. But there is no other alternative in America. If you stiff servers, they get hurt. If enough people do it, they quit and your favorite places die. You can encourage places that don't allow tipping and pay a living wage but those are so rare as to be pointless.

    Only assholes refuse to tip for service in America.

  • but what happens if Cara get’s sold and the new company decides to change it

    Same thing that happens if a federated instance goes bad: you leave?

  • Hmm. How much? I've got a few extra lying around.

  • I do that too. Get draft beer, pizza and then a bunch of cans at a brewery. 60% was prepackaged so I'm not tipping 20% on the whole bill. Did my own math and it was like 10%.

  • Is clover getting money for cc transactions? I thought it was the cc companies charging that fee.

  • Yeah. The blurbs examples are places you really need to tip. They are providing a direct service to you. But pretty much every digital pay interface is asking for tips now. And a lot of them aren't even offering 15%. They start at 18% and go up. It is really souring me on going out at all.

  • Why does that Bible have restrictions on textile blends? I can rationalize most of the others as generalized health restrictions but that one baffles me.

  • Wow that's a lot. But how many pounds is a note?

  • How can Israel attack another country and not be at war already?

  • I haven't been to TJ Max in forever. Aren't they a low cost clothing store?

  • No one would even set foot there. NATO would just bombard them with missiles for a month until their government collapsed. Russia wouldn't though. It likes it's little border fief.

  • Others? What others? Who's going to just start shooting missiles at NATO countries? That'd be a very short war for whoever that is.

  • Republicans would go out and get rabies in solidarity. They'd say it wasn't dangerous. It'd fuck up medical stats so hard.

  • So the penalty for insider trading is $200. That's just a Pay to Play fee for illegal market trading. Let's put some jailtime on that act, FFS.

  • I'm so glad Israel is taking criticisms of genocide seriously...by enabling them for all to see.

  • Internet is not a base requirement like water. Without food, water, shelter, you die. Without internet and electricity you are left behind, you don’t die. It should be regulated like electricity

    Yes because being homeless and without power will definitely ensure you can stay alive. This whole argument doesn't make sense. Electricity doesn't need to be regulated like water because for the most part, there can't be tainted electricity. But you can still get your water cut off just like power so clearly the government doesn't ensure you have ready access to it.

    Oh and shelter is a base requirement but we still let people die in the streets. And for those people we aren't supplying them with water: they can drink from what few public fountains exist in parks...if the cops don't beat them for "loitering".

    No, internet should be a requirement to be provided to everyone like we regulate water and electricity and (used to) telephone service.

  • I got Tidal since I read they pay artists a bigger share per track played.

    Not a significant amount and they, along with all streaming services, have massively cut artist payouts in recent years. There aren't really any good platforms for artists. Only labels get any amount of meaningful money.

  • Still, raising the tax nearly 2.5% on working people is bullshit. Hey guys, we know inflation is hitting hard and most of you haven't had a meaningful raise...ever but how about if we lower your current and all future earning potential by 1/40th?
