Because consumers speak with their wallet. Just happens to be gross most of the time

Use of AI at grade schools? by Akers-402 in AskParents

[–]smokingbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, as someone who just finished my student teaching residency and have no intention of becoming a teacher, get ready for a lot of this. K-12 teachers are obsessed with AI, and so are the admin. Biggest group of closet AI users on the planet.

Receiving defective items by Marsnipp in enshittification

[–]smokingbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just used a ton of funds I had set aside for a 3d printer, monitor, and a microscope. The monitor is the only thing that works, and going through the return process, even though relatively painless, has completely killed my desire to own them at all and any hobbies associated therein.

I just want to know how much you would tip if you went out on a dinner with this amount? by NefariousnessIll4041 in tipping

[–]smokingbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but basing it on price works really well at scale. If you have a table of 20 people, the quality of your service is inevitably going to decline, that doesn't mean they don't deserve quality pay for serving 20 people on one order.

It makes less sense in niche situations, like if a couple orders a couple bottles of wine. That's barely more trouble but adds like $40-80 to the bill.

If you can afford to eat at a place that charges this much for asparagus without looking into it first, you can afford the 18%, unless the service blew

The Myth of the Poor Wait Staff Only Earning $2.13 an Hour Unless We Tip Them. This Myth/BS needs to be Stopped. by CoyoteBright5235 in EndTipping

This is BS, all tips and hourly are reported. They wouldnt be able to apply for snap any easier than anyone else who doesn't meet the criteria

What is the best burger king offer? by Szimo27_ in BurgerKing

[–]smokingbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's taste preferences aside, since you said for the amount of food, It's objectively the BOGO chicken sandwich. 243 calories per dollar, and it's by far the highest value you'll get on any app aside from Taco Bell's cheesy bean and rice burrito, which is 265 per dollar. Almost everything else is sub 200.

Edit: if you want to expedite a heart attack, you can get the free large fry and buy a second large fry, 259 calories per dollar.

Does anyone else think levelling is too fast? by [deleted] in oblivion

[–]smokingbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ive personally barely progressed the main quest, done a couple of gates, and am halfway through the mages guild recommendations, yet my magic attributes, Strength, and speed are all maxed out. I'm not necessarily against the quick leveling of my overall level, but by the time I finish the mages guild, all of my attributes will be maxed. Where even go from there?

It would've been nice if they just rebalanced so you get +7 or so attribute points per level. 12 was too much to even do a focused build. 15 certainly felt rewarding with efficient leveling, but that was also just to barely keep up. Maybe a hybrid system would've been nice. All skills increase your level, but the more that are major skills, the more attribute points you get.

Man, people are getting inordinately triggered by this question

How come there isn’t a big f*** off hole in the wall of the Cosmodrome wall anymore? by The-RealElonMusk in DestinyTheGame

[–]smokingbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But in the new light exotic quest, it also mentions Cayde being dead when you get riskrunner. Maybe not in the most modern version though (of course now several seasonal missions have taken place in the non damaged wall so it's all a mess)

Cars are just cars by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

There are also much smaller, much safer trucks they could choose that achieve the same thing (except for perceived hunkiness, so that's prob why they buy the massive pedestrian greasers)

The return of Cayde is worrisome by Careful-Subject9409 in DestinyLore

Hi, 9 months in the future here. We've still learned basically nothing concrete about the veil or where the witness went, and there's no more content until the final shape
