But sadly this world really rewards the "dark triad" personality traits. Your version of Hitler would never ever reach a hint of power.

I'm a very tall wardrobe with a resting bitch face syndrom that is also nocturnal. I learned a long time ago to just slow down when behind women and never to speed up. Or just change sides or so.

It pisses me off to constantly being seen as a violent rape-ape instead of a person, but imagining being a woman (or whomever else is frightened by me) in such a situation makes my worries seem more irrelevant.

In a better society this would be totally unnecessary, but here we are.

How eloquently summarized. Sadly so.

Controller yes. They suck (for me) for nearly everything. But gaming on a 240" screen? Hard to beat... I do that on the couch with mouse/keyboard. Just a bit less precise than at the desk

I made a tool for pausing every game (except online games, obviously). There are some free ones that do that, even on steam. If that's what you mean?

If pausing the whole pc á la standby is what you mean, then you could simply try hibernating (maybe after pausing like above). Most games actually can be resumed afterwards. Pc is totally off.

But yes, that's probably the only thing a switch (wifey has one, hence i know) can do great. Besides total portability...

  1. We could probably argue about "living wage" of a supermarket cashier. Here they all, at least, make minimum wage. So tipping cashiers should be equally fine as tipping waiters.

  2. Yes, the system is bad. Not the customer that don't wanna tip. If 100% would not tip, the system HAS to change as noone would work as a waiter anymore. Doesn't happen, so no change will ever happen. Except maybe paying them even less coz the customers compensate it willingly. Not ideal too, yes. Hence i would stop eating outside if i would live in such a system.

  3. Yes. Sure. But obviously it works great, so where's the need for change? People still wanna work waiting and people still tip. And considering you guys vote billionaires for your representative, it's all working as intended. There's even wiggle-room to milk you for even more... But i would hope for u guys that there ever will be some good change.

Oh boy, i was so happy when the first lcd surfaced. No more 2-people-to-carry and radiation of my eyes. No amount of nostalgia (i started with green monitors) will ever make me go back 😁

Stop going to such places. I don't go there (because we don't have that silly system). Why tip at all? Do u tip the cashier at the supermarket? Your IT-guy? Your mechanic? Your docs? The cops?

But for the sake of the argument: if noone would tip, noone would work as a waiter anymore and employers would have to pay decent salaries. You know, like everyone civilized would do. Instead you support a disgusting asshole employee by paying the staffs salary AND food. What's next? No salary at all and you should double-tip for rent too? It seems to work. Why not.

If you would've actually read the comment, you would've been in a clear advantage.

Where i live and eat, staff is paid fair and tips are given. But, as everywhere in this country, for especially good service and not because the customer is forced to because the employer doesn't pay wages because the system is broken.

I also said that at my restaurants, waiting staff is paid way above average, which is probably multiple times of your weird country's mininum. Do you even have a point?

While I'm totally for the workers being paid great, it's not really MY job to do so (unless i own the restaurant I'm eating at. And at those the waiters are paid way above average and don't need tips). Here we tip for excellent service, not the bare minimum to get my food on the table.

If you tip to pay salaries, YOU are the actual asshole that keeps a system alive that is the absolute dogshit in dystopian shitholes with no worker-rights like the US.
