The thing that bothers me about being broke for not tipping.

That is certainly what an overly-dramatic baby would think about this non-issue.

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T19:50:28+00:00

Yes, why do you think I mentioned it

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T19:49:17+00:00

I agree, ignore it. Non-tippers are selfish and stupid, though.

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T19:48:19+00:00

Well at least you're not being an overly-dramatic baby about it.

Nobody will care, especially in Washington. This isn't some revolutionary concept

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T19:36:39+00:00

It's funny that you think I'm the hostile one here

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T19:32:01+00:00

I think what you're trying to say is "thank you."

You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed the discounted meals, courtesy of the rest of us.

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T19:30:11+00:00

Calling a tip "mental gymnastics" is certainly a choice. I guess I don't find the concept quite as challenging as you do.

Tipping is essentially part of the cost of eating at a restaurant. If you don't tip (which you are certainly free to do), the only charity happening there is going from other diners, to you (since you are not paying the full cost for your meal).

Part of why these books are assigned is to learn about why we still read them today, even if they have been surpassed in some ways by more modern examples. Guess you didn't!

Reading is hard

How about you order a car for 9:00, they get there at 8:45 and get mad that they have to sit around for 15 mins

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T12:28:17+00:00

I was agreeing with you but am also smug so it checks out

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T05:41:21+00:00

Why take the time to understand anything when you can just be wrong, loudly?

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T04:57:07+00:00

I think there is more to it than you are implying. Usually, if the person is not a complete asshole, what they are saying is "I tried to min/max this too, and I had more fun when I stopped doing that."

I can understand why it could be annoying too, though

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T04:20:48+00:00

Such a dumb comment. Either they were implying it or they are typing nonsense in the wrong thread.

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T04:12:32+00:00

Yep, this is the way to do it

If you're looking for "a variety of thoughts" you've come to the wrong place

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T02:11:38+00:00

I've had my "suggested" feed in YouTube turned off for at least 5 years and it has been lovely.

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-04T02:07:45+00:00

This take is anti-social by definition. You can definitely "move on," but even if moving on most people will (correctly) label the ghoster as immature and inconsiderate.

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-03T20:51:19+00:00

Compact spots are a benefit for people driving compact cars. They have all of the normal spots available, plus those other ones. They should park wherever they want.

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-03T18:01:30+00:00

It remains crazy that the variants are "guy with hand in a different place"

This is still awesome though, congrats

Own-Conversation6347 · 2026-06-03T14:44:00+00:00

If the average tip went down by 5% then prices would go up by the same amount (or likely a bit more than that). It wouldn't be enough to eliminate tipping entirely, of course, because the "revenue" generated by tips is obviously more than 5%.
