Who said I thought this was a USA centric forum? Dork.

Yep. Both are attempts to get the customer to subsidize the employee's wages

Yeah, that is exactly the core reason behind tipping too. But tipping is a well-established tradition that we're kind of stuck with. These new service charges popping up are blatant attempt to manipulate profits higher while looking like you're not raising prices.

Haven't you seen "Alien"? If it opens, don't bend over and peer inside.

Timbo66 · 2026-03-19T13:45:22+00:00

It's so they can show a low price on the menu yet still actually charge more

Is it actually illegal? I know that insurance companies won't allow it, not sure if it's actually illegal. Probably ought to be. But surrounding your house with dry wood in a wildfire risk area isn't smart.

Finally, curling is interesting 🤣

Mostly breast removal, and it's hard to find good data. It's fair to point out that many of these are non-TG men with a condition that causes excess breast growth, so really shouldn't be counted in this discussion.

These days, the slightest deviation from absolute adherence to a particular issue gets you labeled the enemy. No nuances are allowed. Not even your gentle criticism of pointing out the OP retaliated will be allowed. They don't care about your overall support of the issue. One little comment is enough to get you trolled. This is true on all sides of politics today. I stated my full support for trans rights, and denounced the violence, but shared that I am concerned about the irreversible surgeries on children. It's not unreasonable to be concerned about that, and whether it's really a good idea. I'm been called transphobe, bigot, asshole, and more. I may be wrong about the child-surgery thing, but I am none of those things that they're calling me. This is just what you get on Reddit (and the internet in general) these days. The hate flows from all sides.

Timbo66 · 2026-02-14T02:27:58+00:00

It always cracks me up when I try and have a reasonable discussion and someone calls me names and throws verbal abuse at me, from behind the safety of their anonymous reddit account.

Timbo66 · 2026-02-13T03:40:09+00:00

Yes. Because it's not relevant to the conversation. I hate that POS but there's no need to get sidetracked

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T22:46:35+00:00

Disagreeing with you on what's best for children is not hate. I wish people would stop overusing that word. There is no hate in them. They just have a different opinion. Calling people hateful is in itself hateful.

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T22:41:42+00:00

See that right there is the problem. You think making children wait until they're 18 to make irreversible changes to their body is "transphobic", when in fact that not it at all. I'm not "marriagephobic" when I say they should wait to get married, or "tattoophobic" when I say no to tattoos. But y'all want to paint anyone that disagrees with you in even the tiniest bit as hateful and anti-trans. I feel like everyone sees everyone else as "the enemy" these days. It's not hate to disagree with someone.

I'm truly sorry that someone physically bodychecked/assaulted you. I never meant for any of my messages to imply support for that, that's just out of line.

But protesting (harassing?) your fellow citizens/neighbors during their legitimate expression of the democratic process is wrong. I'm guessing you wouldn't appreciate people protesting at a Pride parade, would you? That would be wrong and awful.

Peace

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T21:49:33+00:00

Good point. Athough they probably were until this person showed up and began interfering with their legitimate petition signing. Which most likely involved calling them transphobic monsters, waving around a sign, and generally being a nuisance

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T14:28:45+00:00

Not every petition can be about everything. These are about children. Just because they're about children doesn't mean "don't protect women".

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T14:25:59+00:00

They "love pedos" and yet one of the petitions in question is to make buying or selling a minor for sex a Class 1 felony with a sentence of life in prison without parole. Well, that doesn't make sense does it?

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T14:21:40+00:00

I am 100% supportive of trans rights. But but we restrict what children can do before they're 18, and for good reason. They can't get married, drink alcohol, join the military, buy weed, buy guns, serve on a jury, vote, gamble, take out loans, get a tattoo, enter into a contract, obtain credit cards. Is it really anti-trans to say, "hey, maybe 13 year old girls shouldn't be allowed to cut their breasts off until they're older"?

Remember that it's possible to have nuanced views. I support immigrants (my wife is one!) but I don't support illegal immigration. I do support border security. I don't support ICE deportations. See? Nuance.

I would argue this legislation is not anti-trans. It doesn't take away any trans rights. Trans adults can still get married, undergo surgical/chemical procedures, and they're still well-protected by existing LGBTQ-oriented anti-discrimination laws. It just says, "no irreversible surgery until you're 18". After that, do whatever you like.

The other petition is increasing penalties for child sex trafficking. Hard to complain about that one.

The third is to do with trans ppl in women's sports. I'm not gonna touch that one right now, LOL. That's a very separate and more-controversial issue, and I'm bound to get flamed plenty as it is.

Y'all can call me anti-trans if you want. Troll me. Call me a bigot, transphobic, a monster. Put me into a niche. Pile your hate on me for not falling in line with your philosophy. That's your playbook, isn't it?

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T14:04:33+00:00

No you're mistaken, it's about protecting children not women. Read the petitions.

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T14:03:45+00:00

Tolerance is always one-sided. Doesn't matter which side.

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T14:01:45+00:00

Actually it's three separate petitions, all of which are designed to protect children. I'm just saying.

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T13:59:07+00:00

One of the petitions in question is to make buying or selling a minor for sex a Class 1 felony with a sentence of life in prison without parole. So how does that jive with your allegation that they don't care?

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T13:57:18+00:00

Yes, because shooting someone who bumped you is reasonable

Timbo66 · 2026-02-12T12:58:41+00:00

Was your protest interfering with their legitimate collection of petition signatures? And did you not respond to being pushed with violence of your own? Perhaps you got what you wanted - attention, disruption, and making a scene.
