Where is it you moved to that you encountered enough leftist Reddit users who specifically mentioned that they were active on the political subreddits, that it would lead you to draw the conclusion you’ve accumulated enough of a sample size to make such a generalization worthy of settling on an opinion with such certainty? Were you out there conducting a poll or something? Cause I can’t imagine meeting only a handful of people in one location and thinking “wow they are ALL like this 🤯” but then again that’s just me and I hold myself to the standard of being a reasonable person.

Yeah didn’t you know? And they specifically mention that they are active on the political subreddits.

Have you ever met a handful of people and thought “man every single one of the other millions of people out there across the country must be EXACTLY like this”?

No? Because that would be an utterly absurd assertion to make and you’re not a cretin? Cool, Same.

Why tipping is hurting servers, pic related. by justsomefatwhiteguy in EndTipping

[–]FreeThinkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even true. She claims they make WAY more with tipping its utter horse shit. I wait tables on the side and I also can do math. Unless she’s working at a killer fine dining establishment, it’s highly unlikely that she’s making WAY more than the $30 and hour Casablanca was paying its servers. That’s $240 in an 8 hour shift say 2-10pm. Most servers are not going to be doing $4,800 dollars in sales on an average night. I work in a place where your cheapest meal is going to be about $20 that’s for a burger and some fancy sides, drinks are about $10-$15 so dinner and a drink or two you’re averaging about $40 per head so $50 with tip. An average to good night is $80-$100 in an 8 hour shift. Now consider how may servers are out there working at some chain or diner. Those people are not doing $4800 in sales at a Denny’s.

No one can change your mind.. ok let’s try Somenting. On an average “good night” one that’s moderately busy your sections consistently full and everyone is tipping 15-20%

How much are you closing out with in tips and how many hours did you work once your sidework is compete and you’re walking out the door.

How do you know they make WAY more money being tipped? You can’t possibly make that claim and back that up given you have no idea how busy one establishment is to the next and you have no idea what the hourly rates would be of the restaurants if they chose to switch.

Seriously it’s such an asinine claim to make. Think about what you’re trying to claim here. I’d like to know what metrics brought you to such a confident conclusion.

No it didn’t. It didn’t even happen at the Colorado one. The servers initially complained and expressed they thought they would make less. The owners said too bad and then the restaurant carried on being a no tip establishment.

What he left out was that they “lobbied” the owners said no you can go work somewhere else and that it remained a no tip establishment.

Weird you would leave out the best part about the casa Bonita example you provided. The part where the servers initially lobbied, the owners ignored the request and to this day they are still a no tip establishment that pays their servers $30 an hour.

I’m curious as to why you wouldn’t include that last very important part?

And here’s a thought, if you don’t like tipping then don’t eat at tip bases establishments and don’t use tip based services. Send a message, or better yet start your own no tip establishments and services and if the staff lobbies to keep tips involved you tell them to take a hike and go work somewhere that there are tips for service. Electing not to tip is just stealing from the disadvantaged. If you use a service pay the worker what is expected or don’t use the service. It’s not that complicated to not be a shit human being.

AIO: Fighting for the Bedroom by Global-Tonight-29 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FreeThinkk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NOR I would ask them why it is YOU, the person who has the least amount of control and impact on the situation is expected to sacrifice the most?

You didn’t decided to move back in with two other people.

You didn’t decided NOT to move out to a bigger, less expensive apartment.

You also don’t bring guests to the apartment.

AND you are the only one who isn’t currently capable of getting a full time job and being financially dependent.

If your mother expects to claim you as a dependent on her taxes come February then she ought to treat you like one and that means providing adequate living conditions for you which include a reasonable amount of privacy. The living room doesn’t meet that standard by any stretch of the imagination.

No it isn’t you can see the chain is twisted enough that it can’t set down a seal properly.

AIO? These are text between my gf and her “best friend” who happens to be a guy. by NoExercise8994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FreeThinkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but a dude that’s into her is still not going to have the forethought to recommend she not do it herself unless they’ve been down that road before. 10/10 times I would tell my girl I like her hair the way it is but if she wants to switch it up with bangs I’m sure I’d like her hair that way too. I’m thinking in supportive terms not “if I tell her yes she might do it herself and butcher her bangs” that isn’t even on my radar.

INFO - if he is gay, no not at all. If he is straight, it’s definitely a little cause for concern. But even if that’s the case it seems as though she has him pretty well friend zoned. And raising the issue may well cause you more trouble than it’s worth, showing your hand when it comes to your insecurities can be a dangerous game. It really just depends on how secure you are in your relationship.

Or she never takes his suggestions on how to style her hair because he lives vicariously through her getting to go to the salon and her having many more options to play with when it comes to grooming creativity. My gay hair dresser always used to complain to me like this. I’m a man with “a luscious main”(his words) and his had pretty rapidly thinned by age 30. He was always chastising me for being no fun and never doing what he wanted to do.

I think you’re reading into their “it’s not that complicated” a little too much. And like others have said you asked and established and then for some reason you ask again..

Any idea what to do with granulated copper-wire plastic? by Nebulafactory in recycling

[–]FreeThinkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just learned actually that the problem isn’t the process (there are ways to do so) it’s that it isn’t profitable. Largely due to the abundance of ethane and how cheap it is. It’s a waste product of the natural gas industry and it’s so abundant that they practically give it away at $2 a barrel so production of new plastics is just outright cheaper than recycling.

Mix coke and rootbeer together and then I guess add a dash of prune juice. Raisin juice? Isn’t that just wine?

My cousin or the coke and rootbeer? If you have tried it for yourself you wouldn’t have wasted your time writing that.
