@GigaBasedDad Leonor's first act as Queen. "To align more closely with the EU, I will invite millions more migrants to culturally enrich 🇪🇸 Spain. We are a progressive, feminist, and future minded nation. To make our new populace feel more at home, we also formally adopt Shariah law today."
@JamesRLandrum@HSMommy16@Monica55dzrh I don’t think anyone is arguing servers can’t have high earning nights or sometimes prefer the system. My point was just that the restaurant industry is structurally built around tips supplementing wages, which is objectively true.
It’s technically and legally true, and when people argue that it’s imperfect it ignores that people earn minimum wage and will only ever earn minimum wage.
It’s the difference between “$13/hr even if you don’t make enough tips, but you might have a few $20/hr days” and “$13/hr and you’ll never make a cent more”
We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic..... 🤔🤔
@dane001@Marcel68nov@memegenny@Monica55dzrh Choosing not to go back to places with mandatory gratuity is a more reasonable protest than just tipping servers poorly. The system is what it is right now, and servers didn’t create it. Punishing the worker instead of the business model just feels misplaced and cruel.
@Angelxotu@Marcel68nov@memegenny@Monica55dzrh We as Customers shouldn’t bear the burden of ensuring that the Employees of a business are paid. To give a $100 for bring food to a table is ridiculous. I have paid high tips. Gratuity was included in those cases. The service wasn’t the best. I stopped going to those places.
@JamesRLandrum@HSMommy16@Monica55dzrh That’s technically true, but it ignores how the system actually works. Restaurants are allowed to pay servers far below standard minimum wage assuming tips will cover the gap. That’s literally how tipped labor is structured in the U.S.
@Richie10015@Monica55dzrh Nobody said servers are brain surgeons. But managing large tables, customer complaints, timing, multitasking, and dealing with entitled people all night is still valuable labor. I disagree with tipping culture, but in this economy why would I punish someone else for that?
@Monica55dzrh Listen you greedy servers. You are not entitled to a tip. You do not dictate what people tip you. Is it more work to serve a plate with a lobster tail over a burger? NO! FYI you are not a brain surgeon; you are doing a job that anyone can do with litle training.
@Marcel68nov@memegenny@Monica55dzrh People happily spend $500 on dinner, expect full service for a large group, then act morally outraged when someone expects the standard gratuity attached to that kind of service. Disagree on tipping, fine, but taking it out on servers instead of the system is misplaced anger.
@memegenny@Monica55dzrh Whahahaha, I would insult you and laugh straight in your face. What a joke! Get a job that actually pays for your labor and don't expect people who already paid your work, to pay for it twice.
@TScatteredFlock@cessonmute Nobody said men don’t sacrifice for their families. The original post is about the physical and social realities women carry in pregnancy and childbirth. Acknowledging that isn’t “scaring women,” it’s the just reality of it. Turning it into a competition is the weird part.
A man’s dream of fatherhood is often carried in a woman’s body... through pregnancy, risk, recovery, and the quiet reshaping of her time, health, career, and freedom.
Yet when a woman asks for stability, care, and a life that doesn’t cost her everything, she’s often told she’s asking for too much.
@lancisvelle@herhush_ However, the original post was talking about a specific dynamic, some men preferring younger women because younger people are often easier to influence. Pointing that out is not the same thing as saying women are innocent victims in every situation or incapable of harmful choices
@Angelxotu@herhush_ ... Ill accept that.
It is a specific frustration. But like many you could name, it is a lifelong one.
Im frustrated at women cheating and following the call below their waist, only to turn around and claim victimhood status for it, while pretending to be adults.
@lancisvelle@herhush_ This is a much more reasonable response than where you started. I agree there are absolutely people, men and women, who hurt others, avoid accountability, cheat, manipulate, and then frame themselves as victims. That frustration is valid.
@QueenKennylla@herhush_ Great question! Why do insurance premiums drop and rental car companies suddenly trust you more after 25? Society already acknowledges that judgment and risk assessment continue developing into your mid 20s-30s.
@lancisvelle@herhush_ Interesting that the conversation was about younger people being more impressionable and your mind immediately jumped to single mothers and women avoiding accountability. Feels like you’re responding to a very specific frustration rather than the actual point being made…
@herhush_ So by that logic I should see a rapid falloff in the numbers of 25 and over women who are single mothers by men who advertised their unwillingness or inability to be good fathers and partners...
Right?
Cause its all male manipulation and youre an innocent victim in everything.
@RenaldoRuffinTV@herhush_ Nobody said women have zero agency or accountability before 25. The point is younger people are generally more impressionable and easier to manipulate. Ironically, the same men mocking this are often the ones obsessed with younger women for that exact reason.
@herhush_ Brain fully developing? Liberal women say the dumbest shit ever to shy away from The terrible things done when it's younger and all the bad men that they chose and especially manipulation
@01Archangel@Fatal_banana@flash101808@GlobeEyeNews (2) Progressive taxation is not proof that everyone outside the top tax brackets “doesn’t work.” That’s you confusing wealth with moral superiority. You can criticize the budget strategy if you want, but the “communist handout” line is just ideological theater.
@Fatal_banana@flash101808@GlobeEyeNews Deal? A deal benefits both sides. He took a handout. Just like those benefiting from this bailout that live off handouts. The people that funded 57%✓of this are the real working class.
@01Archangel@Fatal_banana@flash101808@GlobeEyeNews (1) You’re acting like NYC is some parasite on “real workers” while ignoring that NYC is one of the largest economic engines in the country and subsidizes huge portions of the state economy through taxes, finance, business, and tourism.
@dctindall@factpostnews Delayed cord clamping absolutely has benefits and many hospitals already do it. But that still does not replace the Vitamin K shot. Babies are naturally born with low Vitamin K because very little crosses the placenta. Those are two separate issues being blended together here.
@factpostnews If the doctors would stop cutting the cord until after stopped pulsating then K shot would not be necessary. They cut it to give another shot, and then to sell the placenta and cord with all moms stem cells for 70-100k a pop. Baby's need the k, immunity and stem cells from mom.
The rate of newborn deaths is surging as American babies bleed to death from vitamin K deficiency, which is preventable with a single shot at birth.
Widespread medical disinformation has caused more parents to refuse vitamin K shots for their children.
@tufpraise I think child free weddings are more a response to a lack of parental oversight. Parents want to let loose at a wedding and that’s understandable, but they let their kids create absolute chaos too. I don’t know if everyone’s kids are behaved or not. So child free makes sense. 🤷🏽♀️
@tufpraise 1) Totally within her right to not have kids at a wedding.
2) I still find the practice abhorrent.
3) I'm glad someone didn't listen and this person had to deal with it.
Good.
@exquisitebizoun@tufpraise Maybe the 1000th time for you but it’s special for each couple because it’s THEIR day. What if the vows were being professionally recorded and all you hear in the background is a screeching child after you paid over 5K for a videographer?
