"If you don't tip don't go out"? Telling people who want to see the tipping culture removed to not go out means that either way, the waiter doesn't get tipped. Europe has restaurants, so clearly tipping or not tipping doesn't dictate the existence of restaurants.

If a waiter works an entire shift and receives no tip, they are entitled to actual minimum wage instead of the reduced minimum wage. So there shouldn't be any moral misgiving to not tipping, it's just social pressure.

I imagine as kids we eventually got through it on accident. Like out of frustration we mashed the down button to make our jump land harder and it actually worked xD

The spinning barrel at the end can be solved by jumping on it and holding Up or Down to match the direction of the barrel. It will make the bounce distance enormous enough to hop off on the down swing.

For example, you jump on the barrel and it naturally goes down, so you hold down. It will go down 20 pixels. As it starts to go back up, you hold up (no need to jump or anything) and it will go up 40 pixels. On the way down you hold down and it will go down 80 pixels. Repeat until the bounce goes so far down you hop off below with ease.

The numbers are made up, but the process is correct.

It's actually more insidious. Blizzard facilitates gold buying by being a middle man. 30 days of wow subscription is $15. Blizzard sells a $20 wow token. Buyers of the token automatically sell it in game to players for gold. Players who sell their In game gold can redeem the token for game time or $15 Blizzard bucks, which can buy any virtual item in the Blizzard store. Games, expansions, and mounts such as this.

If you don't want to spend $90 in real life, you can sell your gold for 6 tokens for $90 Blizzard bucks and get the mount.

The token has been hovering around $170k all month and now it spiked to almost $360k (token price tracker). So now cash buyers can get way more gold for their bucks, and the 6 tokens exchanged for gold (to buy the mount) will net Blizzard $120.

I can see this random tweet from Taylor Swift just fine in incognito mode. I can't look at replies but I can see her posts.

People on Lemmy link to tweets all the time and I can navigate and read them. Not sure what you mean then that it's authwalled. It's an annoying experience and it bugs me every time I visit to make an account or log in, but I can see them.

So let's say on Twitter, someone blocks me and I can't read their post. Can't I just log out and read their post that way? I don't have a Twitter account, so I've never seen a blocked link before.

Very disruptive. Landfills typically bury the day's trash at the end of the day and it's just layers and layers of garbage, like lasagna. You might be able to work on Monday's trash slice, but by the time Thursday rolls around, it's time to add a layer on top of Monday.

Digging could interrupt the entire landfill process if it's still an active landfill, meaning the daily garbage has to be redirected elsewhere, because landfills aren't just a hole in the ground, they are a feat of engineering.

Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn't a "Dems" problem, it's a two party problem.

Even if state and local elections are ranked choice, the presidential election will still be a first past the post election and the electoral college is still designed for a two party system.

Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there's no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.

Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it's battery at some point?

These incidents shouldn't happen with proper checks during registration. Registration should safeguard against this by checking voter eligibility.

Headline makes it seem like he voted multiple times in the same election. It's just stating that he registered to vote 9 times under felony probation since early 2000s.

I thought it was bullshit those Florida felons got in trouble for voting after registration didn't safeguard them, we should think it's bullshit he is getting the same treatment.

It wasn't in the same ejection. Head line is misleading
