  • Turns out you think everyone had kids at the same ages. You've just reiterated how foolish you are. Just stop jumping to conclusions. Talking down to someone because you think you are older than them is also a sign of desperation.

    To assume just aging somehow makes your opinions right. All you did is not die. Congrats. The news is full of wrong people older than us.

  • Well, now you just sound like you wanna shoplift! 😆

    Seriously, though, what does this have to do with shoplifting? It's like you're making up excuses to be mad. Just say you don't wanna pay and leave it at that. No excuses are needed.

  • Yeah, they don't care. They want everyone buying to have a membership, as it's been for decades. This isn't some new crazy way they're screwing people. It's making sure the rules their members agreed to are followed.

  • It's actually not saying that at all. I specifically said that I expected her to dislike it.

    The rest of us, less emotionally invested in the person as a person and more as a deceased performer, will have differing opinions.

    The creators of this and articles around it keep referring to it as an impression that speaks to their motives a little. This is why i used that common colloquialism. I suspect that the timing of this may be motivated by recent news surrounding the actors' strikes.

    Demonstrating how this could be used to convincingly create content from an actor without any of their intentional input (evident by him being dead) should make people question these capabilities more, just like they did when people first started seeing convincing deep fakes.

  • Meh, I disagree with what you believe the focus of the article is. That's probably why we have different takes. You're upset because you want the article to be about 1 thing, but the author was writing for their audience instead.

    Letting someone say mean shit and posting their name to the public is absolutely shining a light. Kids having fun and doing whatever is good, but not an interesting article. Also, you can't interview kids and post their names or anything without parental consent. Your expectations from the article would have possibly put those kids at risk, and responsible journalists shouldn't do that, so I'm glad you didn't get your wish there! 😉

  • They can. Make it mandatory on any new construction and require it as a part of remodels while offering solar incentives for their covevered parking lots.

    Governments exist to help with stuff like this.

  • All business is like this, which is why we average our earnings in these discussions.

    When I managed a grocery store where tips were super rare and never % based, the slow days were about $36k earnings, and the busy days were about $92k. Unfortunately, a server still has to be present on slow days, which may be low earning days, but often that's balanced with another preferred shift.

  • It does. That's how taxes work. Musk's taxes don't benefit everyone equally. The server's taxes will be split, and the portion that goes to their state may be one that a billionaire doesn't pay into.

    But it doesn't matter since you've created a straw man argument. I don't disagree with anything you've said about taxing the rich. You just take exception to me stating that servers also pay taxes for some baffling reason.

  • That's at the minimum. My friend clears 100k working fine dining, but I know that's an exception.

    Considering a 4 top will be guaranteed, get a bill over $100 their averages have risen. And since I am in California, they get their county's minimum, which is $17/hour plus tips. So my friends who serve part-time make about 60k annually here. Not bad for part-time work.

    This is why I think most states should be moving our direction, as the article states.

  • It's been a long time since ither of you've been a server, huh? They're doing better than that unless they are part-time.

    Your point stands, that taxing billionairs is good, but a full-time server is probably doing 50k+ in all but the lowest cost of living areas. Because a tipped employee earns a % of goods sold, they are hurt less by inflation. The rising prices people pay result in higher tips. But since most places aren't cash, only the vast majority of their tips are via card and thus recorded and reported.

    TLDR, they aren't as bad off as people think, and they are mostly taxed correctly.

  • Is Jodie Foster a well-known liar? Seriously, I have no idea.

    If not, you're just being weirdly defensive of people you don't know. Her anecdotes are as valid as yours, and since she probably works with more teams, they may have a bigger data source than your own.

    I've had her experience and yours at different workplaces.
