So basically the history of tipping comes from post-slavery times. When frankly whites were trying to keep blacks down. It has a terrible history, a terrible purpose. They were trying to not have to pay people who deserved a living wage.

So while I’m not certain, I think the practice should be strictly illegal, it certainly is bullshit. So I have a hard time disagreeing with you LOL

I don’t mind paying a seedbox company to provide me with a box with qbittorrent and emby and other stuff I don’t use

Exactly. I’ve had my own domains since 1996.

I’m an American. I was born here. I’m used to the taxes and the tipping and all of that stuff.

I don’t find it confusing, sure. But I’m also used to it.

But as an analogy, imagine that the posted speed limit wasn’t the actual speed limit. Well, in fact, it sort of works like that because you can usually but not always go 5 to 10 mph over.

But let’s say that it was a little confusing. That it was more like 20%. Or it depended on some sort of. I don’t know how to make this analogy work, but maybe sometimes it was 20%, sometimes it was 25%, sometimes it was 15%. The point is that having to calculate that all of a sudden when you never have before is difficult and a pain in the ass.

And if you come from a country with a speed limit, is the speed limit or it’s like always like five over would be safe or something like that. This percent thing is bullshit to you because you’ve never had to deal with this stupidity before. Doesn’t matter that the natives have no worries about it, this is weird and different and bullshit and there’s no good reason for it.

Not the greatest analogy, but if you try and use it to you know get an idea of how they feel about it. I hope it helps a little bit

It’s worse than that. It comes from racism and slavery. When you started having folks freed up from slavery who were doing jobs like being a waiter, Rich folk set the system up under the guise of saying good service gets good tips, but really it allowed them not to pay them. And so they had to work really hard for whatever tips they could get.

And that basically continues today. The system is absolutely bullshit.

You’re complaining that they’re trying to basically ban nazis?

That makes sense. Or even as simple as perhaps renting out the car or something like that. But with extreme restrictions about cleanliness and such or something, I don’t know. Thank you, your ideas absolutely helped

Shit comment? I resemble that remark! :)

The bad news is that I definitely am not. In brief, when I was diagnosed with diabetes back in 2007, that was about the same time. I got my ADHD diagnosis and I didn’t have health insurance because I struggled to keep work.

When I got that diabetes diagnosis, they put me on metformin and when that didn’t kick things down they’ve increased the dosage. But that didn’t work, because when you’re poor, you eat carbs and well. I need to cut out sugar. I didn’t know about carbs, they said well. I’m sorry that’s what you can afford.

So I went unmanaged for a decade, till I had a saddle pulmonary embolism in 2017. We had been stuck in a small town where I absolutely could not find work, so I convinced my wife I had to look. So moved from Florida to Virginia because I found work up here, got insurance. I’ve been working on getting my health under control and doing pretty well with that these days except.

Because of all that damage from 10 years of unmanaged diabetes, I’ve had seven heart attacks, my kidneys have failed, so I’m on dialysis, and have had a bologna amputation on my left leg. Among other lesser medical issues. LOL. I’m a wheelchair user these days as well.

So I definitely have much less life expectancy thanks to this fucking country and these fucking fascists who keep us as the only developed Nation out of 33 who doesn’t have some form of universal healthcare.

I’m a little bitter. LOL

So will last, I’m not surviving all that well. Although, considering all these issues I’ve had, I’m doing relatively well health-wise. Although I’m writing this from the hospital where I’ve just had to have a procedural on my leg because I was having some blood flow issues there. Thanks to all of the damage. And I really can’t afford to lose that leg because I’ve already lost part of one.

But in case you think I’m trying to ask for sympathy, I’m not. Everyday. I’m glad to be here. I’ll take whatever days I have left. I still try and have a positive attitude, and make people smile when I can. It’s just life.

Well I’m disappointed in Neil gaiman and his choices be icky towards women, I still love the sandmam series and the character of death. When a character in that series died, and asked death, is this all I get? Death replied. You get the same as everyone else, one lifetime.

I get one lifetime. You get one lifetime. We all get one lifetime. So make of it what you will

Very very much so :)

Why wouldn’t they just put them up on a dyno and just spin the tires?

Your last line caused my downvote just so you know.

Heh. I like that. He certainly does appear in the Bible in certain places, just not the places he would like you to think he does. LOL

Speaking of which: fuck the president of Puerto Rico. Heh

Nowadays?

I’m 51. The only thing that might be making it worse is that Internet allowed more echo chambers so more specialty stupidity might spread more.

But stupidity has been this bad throughout humanity.

We just manage to do good stuff sometimes, too

At least if the fart was made out of helium it would rise quickly and so be in smelling range for much less time. So it is kind of… Beautiful in a… Sort of a way… Hehe

Fuck Israel.

And fuck anyone who misreads that as “fuck Jews”

Yep, the name is ironic. I didn’t catch you were joking but I knew it was possible because I also find the name ironic. Lol

They will claim that they will, but in all the times I’ve seen where rich people claim they’re going to leave, I’ve never seen them actually leave. I’d love for you to show me some statistics showing that a significant portion of rich people leave after they claim they will. Until then, I don’t believe you. You’re just falling for that propaganda. I’m sorry to say

DRR DRR This shithole was made for me!
