  • It's to a point my recent Google searches have -tiktok next to -reddit. Annoying that I have to sift through this trash.

  • Bulldozers kill man in tent in Atlanta clearing homeless camp near MLK’s church

  • They needed a bulldozer to take down a few tents? They couldn't just hire a few folks to deconstruct the area? What the fuck.

  • I'm talking of modern day peasants, you know, the 99%. If it's a "luxury", then why pray tell is it served everywhere and dominates the ingredient list of most processed food? A loaf of bread is cheap, but meats, fruits, vegetables are through the roof.

    It was a nice stop gap as things progressed, but now it's a handicap.

  • Bread made feeding people cheap. That isn't civilization; that's dominator culture. It's slavery with extra steps. You've all been eating peasant food. Break the cycle.

  • I'm sure they've seen what he did to Xitter. "Uh, no thanks, we're good."

  • And one naturally says the reason why we are in such a mess is not simply that we have wrong systems for doing things—whether they be technological, political, or religious—but we have the wrong people. The systems may be alright, but they are in the wrong hands, because we are all in various ways self-seeking, lacking in wisdom, lacking in courage, afraid of death, afraid of pain, unwilling really to cooperate with others, unwilling to be open to others.

  • Absolutely there's a minimum, but it all hinges on how their service was. All I'm saying is if you're in the service industry, you're on stage and I'm going to judge how you perform. The actual food has very little to do with it.

    Only once did I leave a waitress a single dollar, mainly because she couldn't get my order right and wouldn't take the food back for the correct order. When asked why, she said she didn't care because her shift ended 15 minutes ago. If she doesn't care, well, neither do I. It's a two-way street.

  • Actually, I have: line cook, prep cook, server, and dishwasher. I know my way around the kitchen, both at home and in a commercial environment.

    When I say presentation (you're thinking of plating the food), I'm talking about how a server would present food, drink, and other accoutrement to guests, including how well they dress, cleanliness, even grace. It all matters. Presentation is the server's main responsibility, including front end representation for the backend. Have you worked in the industry?

  • I'm going to assume you are referring to the food quality being part of the tip. While the server isn't directly responsible for that, their presentation and delivery of the order, as well as attitude and reaction to what I might send back and the resolution thereof, is. If they go out of their way to make me happy, for better or worse, they did their job correctly and deserve the tip.

  • I am a big believer in tipping and always tip the same way: I start at 18-20% and go down from there, based on service, friendliness, and food quality.

    That said, I go out a lot less post-Covid, as the quality of the experience isn't what it used to be. I tend to stick to poke and sushi nowadays, as it tends to be fresher and the service better.
