The tipped wage allows unskilled workers

It allows conventionally attractive young white unskilled workers in dense enough areas to do that.

It really just depends on where you work and your demographics.

Young black male in rural city? Lol you’re fucked. Attractive young white woman in dense urban center at trendy expensive restaurant? Absolutely crazy amounts of money.

I’ve known people who graduate, get a job in the field they wanted and then quit and went back to serving because they fell into the right demos and location.

The tipping floor is the lowest it can possibly be but the ceiling is extremely high. And it’s largely based off unfair reasons.

Lol what the fuck is that petition, there is no way 4.5k people work at Casa Bonita who would be affected by it when they don’t even have 350 staff.

That means at least some part of the signatures are not employees but outsiders trying to speak for the employees.

Which also means that they might not even represent many employees to begin with! For all we know 99% of workers don’t want to go back to tipping.

And going off the line at the bottom (although it is quite possible they are lying, management does lie often), it seems like that could potentially be the case. After all the article only identified two people who were upset.

Of 256 employees, 93 were a part of the shift and only two said they were unhappy about it, management said at the time.

The petition claims to have more than this but it also claims to have almost 5k signed on so it’s pretty unreasonable.

The idea that Mao had regressive views on women should not be shocking in the slightest. Modern women’s rights are really really recent developments across the world.

One shocking fact I like to bring up is that women weren’t even allowed to own their bank accounts till like the 70s/80s. My mom brings that one up when talking about how much things have changed since her childhood.

But it’s also not particularly relevant. People don’t listen to Mao for his views on women’s rights. It’s the same way we don’t dismiss electricity just because the society back then owned slaves.

There’s a fun irony where when it comes to bigotry and racism it just “needs to be exposed to sunlight” and the “the free marketplace of ideas” but leftist ideas are brainwashing that need censoring.

Huh, I wonder why those double standards exist

You can tell how bad this guy’s discourse is because he has to use the term “cultural appropriation” and not just the much better fitting “appropriation” on its own because he doesn’t understand what the words actually mean.

Carnist Catch 22, if it hits the beans then they’ll be destroyed and you’ll have to eat the pig to survive.

Weirdly enough I liked having the one on one aide. I was basically out of the running for friends in most of my classes anyway so having someone on my side that I could talk to and an adult that was basically guaranteed to step in when I was bullied was a positive IMO. A lot of special ed classes can get fucked though, disrespectful and treat you like an idiot who can’t even remember your own name.

Anytime people say something like this, just read it as “when I grew up I didn’t pay attention to the news and other people so it all seemed awesome”

Why would an anti LGBT group want lots of support from LGBT+ members? Seems like an easy way to fall apart once you let the mask slip and you won’t have any backup because all the other anti LGBT people would have left.

Wasn’t the chastity belt hacking story a fake? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEM6SHbjY7Y

Edit: looking into it more, seems like there was a (maybe) real story about it perhaps and then the YouTuber messaged the writer of the original coverage and pretended he was a second victim.

Modern Warfare 2 (the first one). When you’re climbing the ice wall and you fall and get caught, the level of detail on the face was astounding to kid me. It was like watching something in real life to me.

Probably helped that it was off of my sister’s high def TV.

To be clear here, while they advocate for UBI this isn’t really a study on the topic as much as it is on direct cash payments to the homeless. Which has been supported by tons of different research in Canada, London, so many places I can’t even remember them all.

but that probably cannot be said about Canada.

Depends on what you’re eating. Even in the most insanely priced areas, beans and rice tend to be pretty damn cheap, and North Americans do not eat a lot of rice or beans or chili or other cheap foods that are staples in lots of Asian diets.

Butterflies are just crazy animals in general. Back in the 1800s there was even a naturalist arrested in Chile because they thought he was spreading lies about them https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/insect-metamorphosis-evolution/

The government literally had/has a program to give out cheap smart phones, tablets and laptops to poor people during Covid.

The idea of this technology being inaccessible to those in poverty is like 20 years out of date.

I was told landlords did a lot of work to earn their money? If he’s clearly well enough to do such intense labor like owning property then he must be in good mental condition.

This sub is probably mostly cops and maybe some law students.

From what I remember almost all of the moderation team are cops yeah.

I don’t think it’s particularly unreasonable to conclude that any decent approach to the first will also include the second. That shit is literally designed to be addictive, even the best teachers are gonna struggle to compete.

It’s especially concerning when it extends to global/political issues (this is why I said this might be controversial). Reading a quick Wikipedia summary and/or article can go a long way

One of my favorite examples of people getting things embarrassingly wrong is the “Taiwan is not part of China” crowd. Both sides historically disagree with this. Taiwan being a part of China is not some point that has been in dispute until very recently.

The disagreement has historically been over which is the “rightful government”. Sure sentiments in Taiwan have been changing but even this year there was a former Taiwanese president saying this explicitly

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/we-are-all-chinese-former-taiwan-president-says-while-visiting-china-2023-03-28/

Any of the dumbass Americans who proudly declare “Taiwan is not and never has been a part of China” can be easily dismissed.
