    Unfortunately, I think this is probably correct. I saw the news and thought, for a moment, that maybe

    could say they accomplished some vague goal and get the fuck out of Gaza. But yeah, that's probably not happening.

  • as a USian, where do you consider tipping most important and/or mandatory?

    Jump

  • No, totally valid. I used to drive pizzas, so I always make sure to at least fork out $3 because of gas, etc. The nice thing about the job was it was very minimal on the kind of "playing nice" shit - I'd show up, give the person the pizza, get the money. Once I started working as a driver, I realized how much goes into the other tipping professions that I wasn't responsible for (i.e. small talk), so I made sure to take care of them as well. Even though pulling a beer off the draft isn't nearly as difficult as driving to someone's house, the bartender also has to keep an eye on me, make sure to offer a new draft, etc. I think that

    at the end of Bullshit Jobs really hits things home with the emotional labor/care work stuff. That's the real value of the waiter - a robot could easily move food 50 feet, but it couldn't tell the customer what's good or not, etc.

  • as a USian, where do you consider tipping most important and/or mandatory?

    Jump

  • The waiter is doing emotional labor/care work in addition to the transport of food. It's a different kind of work but still work

    We should value both. Indeed, that's why there's always. 3 dollar minimum, even if I'm only getting ten bucks delivered - to recognize the gas, etc used.

    Also, remember, in some states those waiters/waitresses make submininun wage and thus need the tip to make up the difference and pay their rent.

    Basically, I value both the care and emotional work of the waiter/waitress and the car costs of the driver. As we should as marxists.

  • as a USian, where do you consider tipping most important and/or mandatory?

    Jump

  • Here's my rules of thumb:

    Table service 20%

    Bar: $1 per drink minimum. If I'm ordering cocktails, usually 2 bucks

    Delivery: usually 20%, but with a 3 dollar minimum

    Coffee: tips for drinks that are made (latte). For a carafe pull, if I have change I'll toss it in the jar, but no tip off card etc.

    I should note that

    has a great episode on this. Remember that even though we should hate tipping because it allows the boss to surveil employees and leverage tips against them, refusing to tip is not praxis. We should strive for change where employees are paid more and no longer need tips, but not tipping will not achieve that.

  • Suzaku's arc in Geass is kinda like this. Of course it's all insane but there's definitely an element of what you're talking about.

  • The Stanford band's halftime show yesterday had a girl dressed up in a cardboard Cybertruck that kept losing control and running into things.

  • Stanford band is cool overall. I'm sure there's some libertarian edginess in there, but I am familiar with their game and broadly respect their shit posting

  • AI really is making everything shit

    Jump

  • Yeah sadly you won't get no man's sky, where they work to fix what is broken about the process.

    Btw, I feel like the NMS arc is very similar to what ppl will have to do w AI slop. Like, you could take a prompt but then the amount of work to make it good is going to be massive.

    Credit to those devs tho, they've really delivered (years later) a great space experience
