Tipping is indeed assumed, even with sub-standard service (8-10% in that case -terrible service, not so much, but if it was bad enough to not tip it was bad enough to complain to a manager).

Because in most states, tipped employees are on a separate tier for minimum wage. Even in states where the minimum wage isn't tiered, restaurant servers command higher incomes than statutory minimum, especially outside of the low-end diners and chains. The restaurant isn't paying the bulk of a server's pay, the guests…

I have no doubt that you prefer your safety razor, but let's not act as though if the 100-year-old technology was universally superior it wouldn't be in use. I have a safety razor and a Gillette Fusion razor which I use with a high-quality shave soap. The Fusion shaves me closer, quicker, and there's a considerable…

You're missing the point. You claim that because restaurant workers are guaranteed minimum wage, they don't rely on tips. At no point did I say I or anyone else wasn't paid enough, just that minimum wage is a stupid yardstick to use for being paid "enough."

People in the service industry don't really have a single tear to shed for people who think they deserve high wages solely because they have a bachelor's degree, either.

"Restaurant workers don't rely on tips"

"I'm against tipping because I don't always get service above what I've already paid for in the price of the service."

I'm happy to stipulate that Gabe was wrong, though I would point out that he's apologized about as comprehensively as is possible.

And yet we still have no method of specifying third-party default apps, Nitro JavaScript for third-party apps, widgets, and so on...

Gold star for reading comprehension?

That analogy just doesn't hold water. The fact that bodice-ripper novels exist doesn't create some kind of equivalency. I don't want to have to state the blazingly obvious, but there's also quite a bit of pornography that's targeted at men; it just so happens that men generally prefer their porn to be more visual.…

We aren't discussing the game on its merits because the article is about the backlash against the game, not the game itself.

Have you read game website comment threads in the past 10 years? People don't care about objectifying women. People care about complaining about how women don't like being objectified.

Upon rereading your comment, I don't see how I misunderstood you. My (sincere) apologies for the snarky remark.

I'm envious of you. You get to insult my country in multiple posts, but when I make what I thought was a pretty obvious sarcastic jab at you (and not your unspecified country of origin), I'm being racist.

Yeah, okay. According to you, I'm gay, insane (x2), racist, stupid, a child who uses his mother's computer and at am least partially responsible for the cultural demise of the United States of America.

"I also have read that black people are intellectually inferior to white people."

Oh! I get it. You're implying that I'm homosexual. It only took me a second to recognize because it's 2013 and gay panic isn't really a thing anymore.

So when you wrote that comment that you apparently don't agree with, you were just letting everyone know that you read something? I'm not sure what the point of your comment is if you're not publicly endorsing the idea behind it.

Or it's just an idiosyncracy, but don't let that stop you from thinking that you're smarter than everyone else.
