  • When you put it that way it kinda sounds metal AF, like an episode of Deathklok.

  • Mental Illness is a pretty vague thing to define. My general understanding is that it's anything that would prevent someone from living a full and productive life, the individual can form friendships, relationships, maintain healthy romantic relationships if they want, work a job, have dreams and aspirations, generally make plans, take care of themselves and their hygiene, and so on. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Sure but that wasn't what I ever argued for. Doing work for no pay outside of a volunteer position or something like family is a bad situation no matter what.

  • It's like you didn't read my comments at all. I never said anything about not tipping at all outside of the circumstance where I never went to the restaurant to begin with. If I don't go then the owner gets $0 and the server gets $0 since I didn't use their service or purchase their product aka they both get 0%.

    The scenario you're bringing up really has nothing to do with anything I've said this entire time.

  • So getting a 15% tip is worse than getting no business at all?

  • Maybe on an individual level but if no one goes there won't be a restaurant or that job for long. Getting something is typically better than getting nothing.

  • I tip what was once normal or even generous a few years ago and generally avoid places that push this behavior so the business owner and the employees get nothing from me. Mostly though if I eat out it's at places where tipping isn't customary.

  • Yes, I'm aware. Workers in certain restaurants make quite a lot, even more than some engineers with degrees I know.

  • Its just entropy, challenging views is a higher entropy activity. Not changing them, the mind literally requires less energy and thermal dissipation.

  • One way to win would be to have a restaurant where the workers are paid and all tips are refused. Seems like there's a big fat glaring hole in the market for such a thing.

    Either that or people can just choose to not go to places with a default tip higher than they want to pay. This would ensure the business owner is getting $0 alongside the workers.

  • Neither do they, that's why they build up forces and create fancy narratives to justify the shooting. No one kills anyone, you're just stopping a terrorist or the enemy. Nice and mentally easy.

  • Called someone in the next room to bring me something.

  • Human minds are simple. They aren't good with probability, statistics, volumes, or anything not linear. They are though amazing storytellers, fundamentally a human mind may just be that, a persistent story. In storytelling we simplify things into a finite set of groups, namely the groups we belong to and the ones we do not. Typically anything involved with the self is good and anything opposing the self is bad. Anything affirming one's view or story is accepted easily, if not automatically and anything opposing one's story is nearly impossible to accept regardless of its validity.

  • It's unfortunately still engagement and it feeds the algorithm all the same.

  • Good shit. Hopefully you backed up anything important before the switch. Generally good to have backups anyway and use the 321 rule to never lose anything. That's three copies, two different media (hdd & DVD / cloud), and one copy off sight. Although that may be a little excessive for everyone but it will ensure you never lose anything important.

    I usually suggest people shop around / distro hop a little. Get a USB, install ventoy, download a few iso's and try a few different distros on their live boot. There are a lot of different paradigms for a distro, different user interfaces, different kernel compilations, proprietary driver options, audio driver options, package management options and so on.

    That said for someone new it is literally just easier to use a more widely used or common distro, usually there's better wikis and active forums and it's more likely someone has already had whatever issue you're having when trying to fix something. I usually suggest Fedora or Linux mint (lmde). Although with flatpaks and immutable OS's things are getting easier, more copy paste if you will.

  • I'm still pinned at 15% although I mainly stay out of the country somewhere where tipping is what it used to be aka totally optional and highly appreciated. Tipping everywhere even 5% would be very strange behavior here.

  • Gender always was a statistical word that some people forgot was a statistical word.

  • Are you team red, yellow, neon yellow, orange, or teal? Funny enough you could probably do nearly the whole flag with power tools.

  • It's a bit more difficult when your building gets bombed and now your wife and child are dead and it will keep happening unless you do something about it.
