But could he heat up a burrito so hot that even he could not eat it?
If not, that’s pretty weak. But if so, also pretty weak.

Some krill are basically the same size as a grain of rice though.

Beans are delicious. Potatoes/fries are also delicious. They are in no way comparable forms of deliciousness.
That would be like trying to replace my love of alpine skiing with gothic literature.

I really want someone to sell legit butter but marketed as ‘I can’t believe it’s not margarine!’

In my experience many recreational motorcyclists specifically seek out curvey roads as they are fun. Am I missing something?

$900 a month is quite affordable compared to hiring a private chef. It’s all relative.
I’m cheap af, but that doesn’t make me ‘right’. If I made $1000/h or something it would make complete sense to pay $30 for a $10 meal each day if it saved me even just 15 minutes of effort that could be put towards working instead. In that case, I’d argue it would be ‘wrong’ and wasteful economically not to use the service.

I discovered a nice Thai place in my neighborhood recently… Although yes others knew about it, it was still a new discovery to me.

Your music taste just never matured. It’s ok though.
- Comment on Millennials are old now? 8 months ago:
Yes, we did. But “was” is the keyword here. Classic rock has for many decades now often included things such as rock, folk and metal within it. Adding Nu-Metal more recently isn’t a huge stretch.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 8 months ago:
While serving, I highly disliked the wildly inconsistent pay I received due to the tipping system. It makes paying rent on time hard. It’s honestly a really shitty way to live, which if you worked as server you would also know. Yeah getting $100 tip randomly is a cool surprise, no disagreements there … But it can’t be relied upon.
Also, still no comment on how the rest of the civilized world does just fine without tipping?
And lastly, no thank you. I’m going to continue to go out and not tip. Not only that, I’m going to continue to encourage others to do the same.
It’s working. Growing numbers if both servers and customers are becoming more and more sick of this bullshit and the tide is shifting.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 8 months ago:
Me not tipping probably the most meaningfully personal action I can take to help to bring a change to the system, namely ending tipping.
It’s certainly more effective than continued tipping is at trying to end tipping.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 8 months ago:
Yep, having worked both sides is probably part of why I see tipping as so silly.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 8 months ago:
I didn’t ignore the material conditions you stated, I actually reaffirmed them.
You however did ignore my point about the rest of the world who manages without tipping.
- Comment on Apple fans are starting to return their Vision Pros 8 months ago:
Hard to call them stupid when they got to use it for free within the return window. Seems like a good deal. I agree with all the other points though.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 8 months ago:
Yes, because I’m against the inconsistent pay I experienced and want it to end so others do not experience the same.
Heartless is continuing to encourage such a system.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 8 months ago:
I’m against tipping specifically because of having worked in food service jobs. I’m sorry if that doesn’t fit your narrative. And neither of you have meaningfully responded to why the rest of the world manages fine without tipping, which really says it all.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
Again, the vast majority of places don’t have this issue of tipping at all.
Capitalism brutally forcing people into work they would otherwise not choose sadly happens almost everywhere, but tipping does not.

Literally anyone (with taxable income) is eligible to write off a charity donation, including billionaires. But it’s not only for billionaires.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
So perhaps consider changing your approach to something that actually might accomplish something? Instead of just asking nicely over and over without results?
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
I said owners, but should have been more clear and stated both owners and politicians are not taking action. I don’t expect them to anytime soon without incentives.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
Yeah, guess people shouldn’t vote in elections either since their vote doesn’t single handedly settle the election. What an absurdly stupid position to hide behind.
Relying on restaurant owners to ‘do the right thing’ without any incentive to do so is extremely naive. And they just, don’t. Look around. They could but they don’t.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
You guessed wrong. I have a strong opinion against tipping specifically because of working in restaurants including as a server.
I did not like the inconsistent pay and would have preferred consistent pay. I’m sorry if that doesn’t align with your worldview.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
I’m saying they need to have some respect for themselves and refuse bullshit ass pay like that. And the vast majority of civilized nations have servers just fine without tipping/bull shit poverty wages. Service is better too.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
You should, by not tipping, which will help create positive social change.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
No fucking way someone with an understanding of Marxist sociology supports tipping. Not a fucking chance. I’m so confused right now.
