  • There are quite a few restaurants and breweries around me that pay their staff a living wage and dont have any tips. You can tip if you want but they specifically have signs up saying you dont have to.

    And they all seem to be doing great - theyre pricey but not holy shit expensive.

    It depends which servers and at what restaurant or bar or place youre working. Not all of them make more on tips, and that always fluctuates.

    Also having benefits and vacation time makes a huge difference. The places near me Im speaking of all give their servers and cooks and etc multiple weeks paid vacation and full benefits.

    I know this because im friends with a lot of the bar staff and waiters at these restaurants/bars/breweries and I talk to them when im there.

    I agree that this is hurting the workers, but what youre suggesting also just keeps the status quo the same and changes nothing. The entire system needs to be torn up, and that requires everyone in this country demanding better.



  • No it really doesnt. It reads as though they used Grok in the shooting of 2000 missiles. If you thought they just gave Grok control of the missiles and Grok went off like a 10 year old on Call of Duty then idk what to say.

    I would say this is just as bad as Grok having actual control though, as I doubt these fools in charge double checked anything Grok put out about targets, hence the killing of 168 school girls on the first day.

    But for months they’ve been reporting theyre using AI to choose targets im not sure why this would be any different.




  • You need IDs to vote in the US as well. Most people register to vote when they get their ID, and for most people, that is your Driver’s License or State ID card. Those already have your information.

    The issues here are they are tightening the ID requirements. Most people in the US dont have passports. In addition, the changes they are making require you to have the passport match your birth certificate. If you get married and take your spouse’s last name, and have that on your passport, you now do not have a valid voter ID.

    This is an easy way to wipe off quite a lot of women, minorities, and poor people from the voting rolls.


  • You need it in the US too… you cant just rock up to a voting booth and put in your vote. You have to have your State ID, Drivers License, or Passport ready to show, and it has to be checked against the voter roll (which you register for when you get your ID) to make sure youre eligible to vote.

    The thing is that a majority of people in the US dont have passports. A majority of people in the US never even leave their own state, so they dont need one.

  • Thats fair. I wouldnt expect it to be plated like a chef at all, I cook a fuck ton and im fairly decent at cooking and I cant plate anything in a presentable way to save my life

    Idk it just looked very bland to me, but it is good to know there is some additions to it.

    Still wouldnt want to eat MREs/frozen foods all the time though but thats a completely different thing all together its not like they have a choice
