You’re not really grokking what I stated. No one should ever rely on tips. They should rely on a fair wage. Tips are a thank you, a gratuity, and no one owes them to anyone. The rich bastards not paying a living wage and turning this into an “us vs them” discussion are the problem here, as is the mindset of tips being earnings.
Eat the rich, not your clientelle.
You don’t work for tips. You work for a wage. And yes I worked years in the service industry and still have many friends in it.
I think you’re missing the fact that the bosses of the establishment aren’t paying their employees fair wages and thats the only reasonnthe tip is needed. Im not paying 25% for shit service. Tips are a GRATUITY for doing a good job and equate to a BONUS. They are not, nor were they ever, a defacto part of someone’s earnings.
Lol, Niantic coding anything that actually works well is hilarious.
I’d also argue that Ingress players likely gave them way more useful data than PoGo
When the side you are negotiating with is a bully that keeps “negotiating” after invading more of your homeland and will just do that again in a few years, you stop negotiating and take what is yours back and make sure they remember that.
Sometimes negotiating amounts to enabling.
This atitude a modern day public entitlement encouraged by tabloids and selfish fans. Its unhealthy for the public and the entertainers. The fact that this attitude is what the public defaults to is the primary reason the “truly wholesome professionals” are gone from entertainment and we’ve been left with folks like Trump. You’ve created an environment that is actively hostile to the average person maintaining their sanity.
Similarly, the obsession that people have with taking pictures and knowing everything about an entertainer and invading their lives is why there is such a ridiculous level of fortune associated with these roles. No one in their right mind would do it otherwise.
This attitude drives the very principal it purports.
It’s an interesting culture difference, but I live in Campbell River on Vancouver Island and have lived in several areas of rural Canada but generally when celebs come here and they are out to eat, as humans do, people let them be.
Yes cause god forbid he should be able to exist outside his house with his family. Fuck this attitude is self-centered. When people are out doing their thing and not at work being a star, leave em the fuck alone.
Still not ready to trust AMD/ATI again. I used them exclusively right up until they bought ATI and then decided fuck open source and the drivers for Linux tanked.
I hear all the issues folks have had with Intel/NVIDIA but I have yet to experience any of them. From where I’m sitting they are still working great. And their open source has not been perfect but its consistent. Instead of going from being golden to fuck you Linux folks overnight.
named a TV show after it
The Springfields?
As much as I love Vulcan, AB… based on the qualifiers for this post, it is disqualified by Dildo, Newfoundland.
Dildo, Newfoundland, Canada: 803 people as of 2021.
Someone here mentioned Vulcan, Alberta - however given the qualifiers of country and size, its 1769 people disqualifies it.
Also, though I am a Trekkie myself and know that Vulcan is well known in those circles, it’s virtually unheard of outside them.
Meanwhile, Dildo:

I have never seen this and thank you for sharing it because good god I needed it.
Gotta weed out the weak ones with the fall.
First time I’ve seen it.
I’d go back to the Yukon Gold Rush and make sure Fred Trump never made it out of Canada.
Edit: Doh! No consequences… huh. I’m not really sure it would be worth the trip then.
Time to build a new one and this time, dont tell investors.
In Canada, it must contain cream. Milk based desserts are labelled ice milk, and anything using oil or solids is a ‘dessert’. The primary determining factor of the definition is the milk fat content.
Absolutely, especially with ADHD in the mix. When demand aversion kicks in, your brain literally tries to undermine any attempt to focus unless you can force it to cooperate. Music usually helps me with this.
And with inflation, I can’t afford to tip. If I to go to a bar I budget for it, but these minimum tip barriers preventing me from tipping without breaking the bank lead to me saying no tip if they wont allow me to customize it.
That said I go to a bar once a year now because of the cost. I mostly hit this BS on the rare occasion I need to drive my wife to a doctors appointment and I stop at Starbucks or the closest coffee shop and get a brewed coffee. They take thirty seconds to pour a cup and pass it to me and then expect a 25% tip. Meanwhile their CEO flies his personal jet to work everyday.
I tip at bars because servers are providing an experience. But even then, if i cant get the persons attention for half the night, and they are just on their cellphone talking to the bartender… no tip. I worked in bars. I watch. I reward good service. I wont reward half-assery.
