  • That’s not. How. Tipped. Wages. Work.

    Why do people insist that you get paid 2.10/hr? That’s 2.10/hr + Tips IF AND ONLY IF that wage equals more than minimum wage. That’s how it’s always been.

    If minimum wage is 7.25 (in a lot of states, it still is), then they are paid 7.25x40 OR 2.10x40+tips, whichever of those two numbers is higher. They CANNOT LEGALLY PAY YOU less than minimum wage.

    So when people say “If you stopped tipping today, all that would be hurt is the tipped workers” I’m less inclined to believe them if they also parrot absolutely false information without a second thought.

    But I do agree with you, tipped wage jobs suck, and the tips seem to be the only benefit. So, let’s ensure they get a proper wage from their employer, stop tipping, and if service sucks until things are figured out, I guess I’m eating at home or eating shitty-service burgers because I’d rather the system get un-fucked than continue to engage in that system.






  • Loops…kind of sucks. I get the point of it, but I tried using it like 15 minutes a day for a couple weeks to get used to it, but the features are lacking and the content is…well it’s filled with people who would abandon tiktok and other apps, so, it’s kind of boring.

    Not in a ‘there’s no brainrot’ way, in a ‘this is the third video in a row of just random AI slop and then it’s just some dude filming a tree for 20 seconds’.



  • I disagree on such a wholehearted level.

    ‘He’s had serious pull in the democratic party for almost a decade’ - do you mean 8 years ago when the DNC yanked his spot and went full force behind Hillary, and then relegated him to a ‘radical leftist’ camp away from the core groups like Schumer and Pelosi?

    He’s been on the fringe of the party for as long as he’s been in the party. Consistently standing up for issues that are later accepted. He’s CONSTANTLY fighting for human rights and taking stances too far left to be mainstream, making all of the pushes seemingly moot because he can’t get bills to the floor in a republican congress because SOCIALISM and he can’t get bills to the floor in a Democrat congress because we never get to have one, and when we do, they say they’re not ‘bi-partisan enough to pass across the aisle’.

    Is he effective at getting laws passed, no. Is he a solitary and stalwart voice of reason almost every. single. time? Yes.








  • I’m with you on intent. He had no place being there, and it surely wasn’t to protect anyone.

    But the guy above is correct in regards to the event’s timeline/order of action. Rittenhouse sucks, he was a child who was radicalised to hate and to fear others, and then he cried (like the child he was, at 17) in front of a panel and got brought into the conservative media fold where he now, as an adult, is an absolute shit stain for not recognizing his actions or the vitriol of the people around him. I pity 17 year old Rittenhouse, no one is adult enough at that age to be carrying a gun in that kind of a situation with that kind of mindset. The 22 year old he is now doesn’t get that pity.
