See, your problem is you’re programmed to respond this way. Like we’re supposed to look at tipping as the future. Get past this desire to fuck yourself and push for a smarter way to get paid because acting like you’ve no recourse but to depend on someone’s kindness is insane. I’m a 20%+ tipper, but I’m telling you…

I think you’re missing my point. The model itself sucks, but that is the accepted model, and plenty of folks choose to work inside it. I am not given a choice as a customer—I am expected to subsidize your wages with tips. I do not understand why EVERYTHING that goes into delivering a $20 burger is more valuable than…

I am not understanding how this differs from the average Restaurant Server pay model. Of course, I’m one that constantly says “I’d rather the restaurant hike prices by 15% and pay their staff, because I still don’t understand why Bistro Bob deserves $5 for bringing me my $25 burger, while Casual Cathy only deserves $2…

I’m usually not on the side of the “Stay the fuck out of my private life” opinion when it comes to almost anyone who’s chosen to be in the public eye as a career. That being said, I agree with you and Kyrie here too, because what I do hate is rampant “National Enquirer” style unfounded speculation and straight up…

This hurts me to say, but I actually agree with Kyrie here?

I don’t really know anything about racing cars, but I know the business concept of sunk costs. Once you’ve invested in it, and used it for it’s purpose, which is probably one race or one season, those funds are sunk/spent/gone. As a race car builder, you don’t want to go seek more funds to keep it around, you want…

There’s definitely no right answer, but I’d still think GMs would rather he play it safe. If the most unique skills he brings to the NBA are being a tank and jumping high, then rushing back from a knee injury could jeopardize that knee long-term, especially if he’s the next Barkley getting leaned on by Embiid or AD in…

I think most NBA teams would rather he “quit” and save himself for a long, marketable future in the NBA than play a few more bullshit games for the horny NCAA

Agreed. And to add on to that, sometimes these cars are sold to privateer teams and eventually just end up aging out of any level of competitiveness. By that time these cars tend to be pretty used up as you might expect from a used car that saw several owners and and was “well used”. So they if they were not stripped…

You are literally the first commenter I’ve seen bring this up.  Unions are typically by trade, not by employer.  There is very little a union would do here to prevent the firing off non-essential staff in these layoffs.  A union of game developers would be great, but wouldn’t have changed those 800 lost jobs by very…

To be fair, that is how capitalism is supposed to work.

In the first movie she froze the surface of an otherwise still fjord. A beachfront with actively crashing waves would have significantly more kinetic energy.

Nope

They do it all the time.

How do you think police get to an actual accident that has shutdown all lanes of traffic?

I did some math.

My grandfather, after returning from WWII in the Army Corp of Engineers in Italy, went to work as a microwave engineer in the 50s-80s. He was engineer as an engineer could be. Pocket protector, slide rules, etc. Magnetrons that he was awarded patents for were on bookshelves throughout the house. We made incredibly…

Counterpoint - making an asshole pay for their assholery probably won’t teach them a lesson or otherwise improve their driving, because assholes never learn from their mistakes. That’s a great way to define an asshole, actually. It will however likely piss them off, and already being an asshole, drive with even more…

was just gonna say; I wish people would pay attention to following the person in front of them this well in everyday traffic situations.
