Seems unnecessary given the size of the user base

The new mask trend in my area is wearing it on your chin. Which apparently isn't uncommon. We've had a few thousand new cases since reopening

My insane roommate is back and seems to have acquired marijuana. He's not yelling and stuff so I'm torn by my desire not to be a narc and my understanding that this can only end badly in like a week

I thought we could use an article that didn’t discuss the painful death of millions of people

Rumor is the studio cut the budget after the trailer reaction so you're probably right about leaving in the buttholes. They wasted a lot of money removing them. Wasted all the money making the movie in the first place really

I started that like a month ago

Commenting on this website for the first time in like two weeks to point out that Elon Musk is a massive dipshit who should have his wealth seized for the betterment of society

What happens when late stage capitalism has to market its failures

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that most billionaires and politicians know this and act accordingly. Also that global warming is real and can't be stopped so just buckle in and prepare to be a feudal lord when society collapses. Like the survivor class is already mostly set in place so run interference with abortion debates until the sea takes away Florida

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Pizza was good but also disappointing. Too much crust. The crust was good but Chicago deep dish is ideally a fairly thin crust with cornbread and a fuck ton of cheese. Not terrible and I got to see family. Also my step dad found these socks for me

That's probably a toxic amount of strawberries.

What could you eat 14 pounds of in one sitting and survive?

Can't say why but I've liked this since I took it

I've basically given up submitting news about this shitshow election as I've harped on it enough. We also have reports of voting machines registering votes for the wrong (republican) candidate. I'm going to try to vote tomorrow. 🤞

I'd like to be in a career track position. After attending grad school or stumbling into something. I'd like to have my behavioral/emotional issues under control, be sober or able to drink responsible. All of those are intertwined as far as I can see.

I post these to Facebook whenever Fox is completely out of line with the actual news

Subtle trolling of the many republican Facebook friends I've acquired recently. This mysteriously happens whenever there's bad news for Trump

I've been low key depressed for a couple weeks. It's preferable to the depression I get sometimes where I only move to go to the bathroom or smoke but it's still pretty shitty. I'm not even working my way out of it by being an adult a few times a day as is my general strategy in this situation. After two years of bullshit, disappointment and discouragement I might be stuck like this for a while, not wanting to do anything or having energy to do things I enjoy. It's very meh and there's not any solace in the fact that crippling depression and manic psychosis are worse.

Might as well just dump the finer points of tipping here and assume you may be interested. I'm in front of a real keyboard.

Servers tend to make $2.12 an hour. I've only made that once. I've worked delivery three times and those jobs tend to be in the minimum wage area. But I've known a lot of servers. The law is that if you make less than minimum wage then your employer has to lift you up to minimum if your tips don't cover the difference. How many companies do this and how many servers request this? I don't know. Doesn't seem to be many.

Tips are like being paid under the table if the tips are cash. Fuck those credit card tips; they leave a paper trail. So if you start asking for your three dollars an hour you have to claim all your tips and who wants to be taxed on cash payments? So servers or drivers tend to just eat the loss for slow periods and make it up later during peak hours. It's just easier than chasing an extra three bucks (or fiveish bucks now, hmm...) for a slow shift.

The rule of thumb is 15% of your total from the meal. But some restaurants have the servers split their tips with their busboys. Not all restaurants. How can you know? You fucking can't know if this is the policy at a given restaurant unless you ask. The server wouldn't mind. No one working for tips is ever offended by a big tip and if they're splitting tips they probably maybe also want the bussers to get their share.

So you make good tips by working the busy weekend dinner shift at Cracker Barrel or at a high end restaurant where 15% is easily at least $15 per table. This gives management leverage to punitively give you a shitty shift if they desire. Because your performance isn't great lately. So this is an argument for tipping. It incentivizes good performance. It also gives the scheduling manager the power to financially kneecap you for any number of petty reasons by sticking you on an afternoon shift where no one is there or just cutting you off from peak performance days of the weak. Maybe you didn't share your fishscale coke with him and he's salty.

It's a really shitty system. But not for the reasons you were concerned about. I'm broke as fuck as a rule and I always try to tip more than 15%. People appreciate any extra because it's a grueling, precarious payment system.

Life is shit. Will report back retrospectively when things improve

I'm tired of using my allotted NYT articles I get without a subscription on this guy. And I don't see a near future where I can subscribe so that I can read Brooks' and sexual marketplace guy's takes that usually either piss me off or annoy me.

That may sound pithy and annoyed but I'm actually frustrated because I want to kindle my superiority with the words of David Brooks.

Everything is fucking killing us. Plastic. Microwave radiation. Traffic. Red meat. White meat. Fish. Tainted produce.

I think I'm unusually unafraid of death. The circumstances of mine, its cause and its inevitability. Fear mongering death is a great way to grab attention but that doesn't mean every attempt to do it is sensationalism. It just means if you read it you gotta be critical and ask if the information is at all useful

The Republicans excoriated Bill Clinton for less. And their voters lined up behind them in agreement. You're full of shit
