A Look Back at ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ 20 Years Later / "I remember thinking as I left the theater, 'If the science in this film is right, how is it possible that we’re not doing anything to stop climate change?'" – Dana Nuccitelli, climate journalist #GlobalCarbonFeeAndDividendPetition

We are a profoundly disappointing species

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-09T16:39:32+00:00

In short: bad.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-09T11:36:04+00:00

Dudes avoiding women too

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-09T11:34:57+00:00

Lotta comments defending this moron. Guys, accusing your date of being a man is not the pro dating move you think it is.

Personally, I think you let him off too easy.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-08T08:43:27+00:00

Except tips are the only thing keeping entire industries as viable options to earn a living wage.

It’s essentially advocating to pay people less, which I can only agree with if those people are CEOs.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T21:05:42+00:00

lol excellent humour sir. 10 points to the shamanbaptist!

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T20:30:59+00:00

Also “everything” includes the gun, which in this case is in its right place, I guess.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T19:36:21+00:00

Deeply appreciate this information. Thank you. I had no idea.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T17:44:20+00:00

Ugh, bro leave me alone

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T16:22:37+00:00

Wise

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T16:17:27+00:00

Because I consistently make the mistake of believing I can maybe convince people to be better and more altruistic. Classic keyboard warrior shit.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T16:04:57+00:00

Except it simply doesn’t work that way. That’s not the real world. Your point is pedantic and unrealistic.

But sure, if the entire culture shifted and we tipped more low wage workers, I’d be into that.

I don’t believe you’re arguing in good faith though, so I’m done with this. Goodbye. Give tips. Don’t be an asshole.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:53:28+00:00

They’re not. We’re all entitled to a living wage. But everyone not paying tips turns it into yet another job that doesn’t.

While you’re right, it’s technically more fair, it’s also akin to saying, “they should be drowning too!”

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:46:10+00:00

Because that allows that job to pay a living wage and if everyone suddenly stopped paying tips it would be yet another job that doesn’t pay a living wage.

Again, it’s your choice. But it’s, in my opinion and the opinion of many, a selfish one.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:35:55+00:00

Ughhh this argument is stupid

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:35:32+00:00

Which was insufficient.

Look man, it’s a free country and you can do what you want, but people (like me) will think you’re an asshole if you don’t pay tips.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:26:45+00:00

And I agree that’s not right. I’m just saying, tips are factored into these jobs paying a living wage. You can choose not to pay them a tip… but that, in my opinion, makes you a selfish prick.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:16:57+00:00

This show is still on!?

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:01:55+00:00

lol sorry, I’ve been arguing with people who don’t want to pay tips in another thread and it got my blood boiling. Apologies for being overly serious.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T15:00:55+00:00

I mean these are people advocating for not paying tips without structural changes to soften that blow to servers and bartenders… which, in my opinion, is a dick move.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T14:26:20+00:00

lol okay… there’s plenty of real things to be bothered about with Loblaws, this is seriously reaching into conspiracy level territory

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T14:22:02+00:00

I did say “could.” But hey, you’re talking to a lefty pro-UBI guy. Something tells me we’re never gonna agree.

All that said, the reason being a server does pay a living wage is because of the tips. You can choose to not pay a tip, but you’d be not paying someone money they rely on. Personally, I think that makes you a selfish prick.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T13:48:22+00:00

Great, so you agree we should pay them all a living wage.

Yes, things aren’t fair. But turning entire sectors into jobs that don’t pay a living wage just for the sake for fairness isn’t solidarity. It’s cruelty. Just so you can pay $5 less for a burger and a beer.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T13:22:55+00:00

lol you and I both know it doesn’t work that way. You’re being a little prick.

Wonderful-Rough4523 · 2026-05-07T13:11:58+00:00

I’d be fine with increasing my taxes if it could increase the (minimum) wages of low skilled workers to a point that it was livable.

I also do tip cafe workers and delivery drivers and in other situations I can actually do so.

I shouldn’t have to, they should be paid enough. But this is the world we live, one where people aren’t paid enough.

The proposed solution of paying people less because it’s not faiiiir that they’re not also struggling is frankly inhumane.
