I think it works well in Switzerland.

Haha same despite not being active at all for months now. In any case, the email explains only residents of the USA are eligible.

I think their point was that martyrdom does not in fact work.

Libraries existed before any licensing or copyright even existed lol. The entire point is to 'copy' information, which is exactly what happens when you let many people look at the same clay tablet or whatever. Peer to peer.

You could literally sit there and copy from someone else's scroll on to your own scroll.

The logical conclusion of libraries is piracy anyway. Like that's their entire point, the dissemination of information freely.

People definitely request it specifically for the high it provides.

Sequels too. A perfect movie can't benefit from them, but shitty movies might be able to.

Which bill? There was no bill.

When did it even come to a vote? My understanding is they just glossed over entirely.

I'm leaning towards NDP over the others, but depends what they promise closer to the election.

All I'm saying is the Libs will never gain my vote for election reform. They may win my vote in other ways, but not that way.

I'm going to try voting for a party that says they will end first past the post voting, if there are any. Except the party that already have made that promise and not delivered. Fool me twice and all that.

Imagine thinking anyone 'deserves' to be alive when literally everyone ends up dead.

Like if someone deserved to be alive, wouldn't they...you know, stay alive?

Which is why it's a good thing suicide is a human right we all deserve and have available to us, should we wish to take it.

I agree we don't owe anyone else anything, which is why is see suicide as a right.

And even when they do, they eventually still die.

It's almost like we all deserve to be not alive, as evidenced by the fact that everyone is eventually not alive.

While serving, I highly disliked the wildly inconsistent pay I received due to the tipping system. It makes paying rent on time hard. It's honestly a really shitty way to live, which if you worked as server you would also know. Yeah getting $100 tip randomly is a cool surprise, no disagreements there ... But it can't be relied upon.

Also, still no comment on how the rest of the civilized world does just fine without tipping?

And lastly, no thank you. I'm going to continue to go out and not tip. Not only that, I'm going to continue to encourage others to do the same.

It's working. Growing numbers if both servers and customers are becoming more and more sick of this bullshit and the tide is shifting.

Me not tipping probably the most meaningfully personal action I can take to help to bring a change to the system, namely ending tipping.

It's certainly more effective than continued tipping is at trying to end tipping.

Yep, having worked both sides is probably part of why I see tipping as so silly.

I didn't ignore the material conditions you stated, I actually reaffirmed them.

You however did ignore my point about the rest of the world who manages without tipping.

Hard to call them stupid when they got to use it for free within the return window. Seems like a good deal. I agree with all the other points though.

Yes, because I'm against the inconsistent pay I experienced and want it to end so others do not experience the same.

Heartless is continuing to encourage such a system.

I'm against tipping specifically because of having worked in food service jobs. I'm sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative. And neither of you have meaningfully responded to why the rest of the world manages fine without tipping, which really says it all.
