I would rather they felt the pressure to move on to different employment (if they can find it) than deal with the uncertainty and fickle nature of tippers

Where I live some restaurants have started requesting no tips because they pay their workers what they're worth. If those are around when I go out, I go there. In their absence I don't tip

Other countries of the world have it figured out, why can't the U.S? We can be better. Sometimes you have to take a hard stand that feels counter-intuitive to the causes you believe in, in order to push things in the right direction. Do I feel bad about not tipping? Certainly. But I want change for the better and that requires applying pressure to the right places

I always pack as light as possible. IDC if I have to wear the same 3 pairs of pants for 2 weeks. Undies are what really matter and they're small and easy to roll

It doesn't seem to mind

I strongly prefer it on the left, but I'm stuck with it at the bottom presently. It just feels more natural to me there, like turning a page

Whichever is the lesser of the evils. It seems that's been the majority of our choices lately.

To be clear I'm all for the people: whoever will create the least amount of suffering, and retain the greatest amount of human rights. It feels like we've stopped making progress and the best we can do for now is cling desperately to what we still have

So... not republican. Obviously.

I used to think that way as well. But really, if spit in my food is being used as a threat to tip someone isn't that extortion?

I'm polite, easy to serve, and even if the food is over-cooked and way too salty (as it was for the single taco I ordered last time I was out) I don't ask for it to be returned. I'm a model customer, except I won't tip.

I'm not doing it to be cheap, or out of spite, or in disrespect for the service personnel. I'm doing it to apply pressure so that things will change for the better

Think of it as passive guerilla tactics against a broken system

Interesting. All of my cats have had their own unique personalities. I did have one that was like the one you mentioned above, but he didn't live long. Almost all of my cats have been indoors only for that reason

How over-weight is over-weight? How old are the women you're trying to approach? How are you approaching them? Which career did you choose?

That'll help in enlightening us as to the cause of your rejection

If it makes anyone feel any better, those being eaten are often sicker, weaker, and/or older than the rest (which makes them easier for the predator to capture and strengthens the heard by removing the unfit who continue to consume if not taken out)

It's sad, yes, but it's how life on earth has evolved. We all need a source of energy. Life is as brutal as it is beautiful

I'm now imagining falling asleep around a campfire, and there's... a shadow

I see! As a person who is a cat person (and not a dog person) I get it. To me dogs fall under the "cute but not for me" category.

One of my cats lightly pats my eyelid when she wants me to wake up. When she wants kisses, she'll pat my lips. If I talk to her, she meows back. She has different facial expressions, tail twitches and other body language to communicate with me. I pay attention to her, and she pays attention to me. If I'm anxious, she rubs up against me to give me love

Cats respond to their owners. You have to first learn their language before you can understand them. If they see that you can't understand them, they will treat you accordingly

Huh. I'll try the turkey necks out. I feel bad for the turkey's (we have some wild ones around where we live) but I love my cats more

Cute :)

It would absolutely have worked on me... back in the day

IDK. If you read the tweet in a BDSM light it all becomes clear...

I don't think that's what he meant, but it's funnier

I used to be a consistent tipper.

Now I refused to tip at all.

I want workers to demand what they are worth to their employers, and I'm willing to be the asshole to help them accomplish that.

If we all stopped tipping, they'd have no choice but to turn the low wage issue around onto their employers. Then employers will have no choice but the pay their workers more, because otherwise they'd leave their industry for something else.

I don't care if that means we, as consumers, have to pay a bit more for the food and service. I don't care if that means that some businesses won't survive. I want fairness all around

I think the idea here is that babies (and likely women) aren't part of Hamas so there is 0 justification for killing them. Of course innocent men shouldn't be killed, either, but they could claim they are Hamas militants whereas babies can't be soldiers

Hell no. Keep that thing away from me, the fate of the world depends on it :p

Read it. It's short and easy and it will stay with you for a lifetime

Yeah, that's hoarding
