@cutiieepie6 Tips are usually 15% to 20%. You girls didn’t even leave a 10% tip. If you are going to eat at a nice restaurant and run up a large bill, you need to give proper tip. Usually all the people serving share in the tip, not just one person. You ladies need to have manners.

My colleague and I left $20 on a $309 bill at a Michelin star restaurant last night, and the waitress looked at us like we’d just insulted her grandmother.We split it—$10 from me, $10 from her. The service was fine, nothing exceptional but nothing wrong either. Just standard polite service at a place where the cheapest appetizer was $24. When she picked up the check folder, she opened it right there at the table, saw the two tens, and her face actually dropped. She snapped it shut, forced a smile, and walked away without saying goodbye.We were barely out the door when I heard her telling the hostess something that ended with “…can’t believe it.”I know Michelin spots usually expect 20%, but we’re talking $60+ on food that was good but not life-changing. Am I wrong for thinking the tip should match the service, not just the prestige of the address? Or was I supposed to empty my wallet just because they got a fancy plaque from some committee?

@RobertG65472467 @Sxnt1_Sxndxval Jesus says to love your neighbor. This is not “I will love you if you love me” with family. True, don’t let outsiders take advantage of you.
English

@KayPearce357732 @Sxnt1_Sxndxval False, you are not obligated to help. Family is #1 priority only if they make you their #1 priority. Many families abandon members or use them as an ATM. Some friends are closer than family members. Do what is right for you.

La semana pasada le negué la donación de un riñón a mi hermano mayor, aunque somos totalmente compatibles, y ahora mis padres me han desheredado oficialmente. Mi hermano ha llevado una vida de excesos: fumador empedernido, mala alimentación y un consumo de alcohol que destruyó su salud a pesar de que los médicos le advirtieron durante años que sus órganos estaban fallando. Ahora que necesita un trasplante urgente para sobrevivir, la familia da por sentado que, como yo soy el "hermano sano" que se cuida y va al gimnasio, tengo la obligación de entrar al quirófano y entregarle una parte de mi cuerpo.
Mi respuesta fue un "no" rotundo. No voy a arriesgar mi propia salud ni a someterme a una cirugía mayor para alguien que nunca respetó su propia vida y que probablemente no cuide el órgano que yo le dé. Mi madre me gritó que soy un "asesino" y que el amor de hermanos debe ser incondicional, incluso por encima de mi integridad física. Yo les dije que mi cuerpo no es una pieza de repuesto para los desastres de otros, sin importar el apellido. Mi hermano ahora dice que lo estoy condenando a muerte por puro egoísmo. ¿Ustedes creen que la sangre te obliga a sacrificar un órgano por un familiar que se autodestruyó, o mi cuerpo es mi decisión final y nadie tiene derecho a exigirme tal sacrificio? Los leo en los comentarios.

@EvaMariaWalter4 @Sxnt1_Sxndxval Life is not an organ for an organ. Life is love and kindness and forgiveness.” He who is innocent cast the first stone”, said Jesus. All walked away and dropped their stones.Lady, are you innocent?

@KayPearce357732 @Sxnt1_Sxndxval The freaking alcoholic brother could never donate any organ to them

@amazing13_13 Cats are awesome. That’s why they are my favorite animal.

@russellbrunson I agree. Less is more. KiSS. Keep It Simple Silly!

@ThrillaRilla369 If she calls it off, Yes. If he calls it off,no.

@dreneehawkins Adopt her. What is money but to be used as a tool. Your husband sounds like a tightwad. How have you lived with him? Stand up for what you want. Don’t let your husband control your desires and dreams.

I told my nephew something last week that he didn’t want to hear, and I stand by every word of it.
He had a long-distance girlfriend for about a few years, Lovely girl, the whole family welcomed her immediately, she was the kind of person you meet and think your nephew somehow got luckier than he deserved.
She flew to visit him every single month, her money, her time, her effort.
My nephew never once got on a plane to visit her, Not once.
I pulled him aside multiple times and told him he needed to start making the trip, the foolish boy said no.🤦
His mother didn’t help. She kept feeding into his reluctance, saying she was worried about him flying.
The girlfriend was even willing to relocate, she said she would move countries for him.
One condition.
He had to be willing to fly to her occasionally, he said no.
He started saying he had no interest in traveling anywhere, not even for holidays.
Last week, he told us she broke up with him.😂
I went on her social media.
New guy already.
The family started speculating about whether she had been seeing someone else before the breakup.
Maybe she was. Maybe she wasn’t.
What I know is that she spent years showing up for a man who couldn’t be bothered to buy a plane ticket.
I told my nephew plainly that he deserved it.
That she made the right call, and I hoped he learned something before his next relationship, because effort is not optional.
His mother is furious with me.
My nephew isn’t speaking to me.
I’m not apologizing.
Some lessons only land when someone is honest enough to say them out loud.
Have you ever watched someone lose something good because they were too comfortable to fight for it, and felt no sympathy when it was gone?

@DrHoenderkamp Yes I will pray. Prayer with belief in God works. I had 2 Siamese cats growing up and they lived 20 & 22 years. I wish the same for yours.

@multiplanet1 Yes Elon is a great person. Terrible that a lot of people don’t see it.
English

Elon said something that stuck with me.
He said the hardest part of being him isn't building the rockets, it's caring about everyone he can't save.
That single line changes how you see him.
Most people think the secret to Musk is intelligence. Or work ethic. Or risk tolerance. They miss the real thing.
His edge is that he has a heart.
In a world optimized for cold optimization, where every CEO is trained to maximize shareholder value and minimize emotional exposure, Musk does the opposite. He builds what moves him. He fights for what matters to him.
A 15 year old girl named Liv Perrotto designed a Shiba Inu plush in 30 minutes. She had cancer. Stage 4. The plush was her contribution to Polaris Dawn, the SpaceX mission that flew higher than any private spaceflight in history. She named it Asteroid.
The plush flew. It became the mission's zero g indicator. The first thing that floated when they hit space.
Liv died in January.
Before she died she wrote eight wishes for Elon. The eighth one was simple. Make Asteroid the official mascot of SpaceX.
She knew she wouldn't see it happen. She wrote it anyway.
When the request reached Elon, he didn't have to respond. He's the richest man alive. He gets thousands of dying wishes. Most go unanswered, that's just math.
He answered this one. He said yes.
Asteroid is now the SpaceX mascot. Because a 15 year old girl drew a dog and asked the most powerful man in the world to remember her.
This is the part nobody understands about Musk. He could have ignored it. The optimal capital allocation move was to ignore it. The brand calculation said ignore it. The lawyers said ignore it.
He didn't ignore it.
People debate whether he's a genius or a clown, a hero or a villain, a savior or a scammer. They miss the point entirely. The reason he keeps winning isn't his intelligence. It's that he hasn't optimized away his humanity.
The other tech founders are smarter at certain things. They have better processes. Better PR teams. Better political instincts. None of them would have made Asteroid the mascot of SpaceX. Most of them couldn't tell you the name of a child who died of cancer last year.
That's the gap. That's the moat. That's why he beats them all.
In a world that rewards detachment, Musk's superpower is that he still feels things. The Tesla mission was personal. The SpaceX mission is personal. Neuralink is personal because his son was non-verbal until eight. Even the Twitter purchase was personal, his obsession with free speech tied to his own censoring.
Every project is downstream of something he actually cares about.
That's why he can work 100 hours a week for 20 years without burning out the way normal people do. Burnout comes from doing things that don't match your values. He's never had to do that.
Liv didn't get to see her plush become the SpaceX mascot. But she wrote it down before she died, and the most powerful man alive said yes, because somewhere underneath the rockets and the satellites and the AI companies and the trillion-dollar valuations, he's still the kid who cried watching cartoons.
Most people lose this by 30. They call it growing up. It's actually atrophy.
@elonmusk kept it.
That's the whole secret.

@Cd_Julian_ Yes . It was your father. You should be loyal to family. If the estate can’t pay the deceased debts, then the family must.
English

Mi padre murió y dejó una deuda con un banco. Mi hermano mayor, como hijo primogénito, decidió solo que yo debía asumir la mitad aunque nunca firmé nada.
Me presionó durante meses con que “era lo correcto por la familia”. Le dije que no. Me llamó egoísta frente a todos en el entierro.
Contraté un abogado que confirmó lo que ya sabía: yo no tenía ninguna obligación legal. La deuda era exclusivamente del patrimonio de mi padre.
Mi hermano tuvo que asumirla solo o renunciar a la herencia.
Renunció a la herencia.
Perdió más de lo que debía. En navidad me llamó a pedirme que “hiciéramos las paces”. Le dije que las paces las hacía con gusto, que yo nunca había estado en guerra.
¿Debí haber asumido la mitad para no romper la familia?

@Kristinartz Keep him. Cats can be noisy . He was getting used to his new home. You have a mean friend. I wouldn’t be friends with an animal hater. Besides what do you care what your friend thinks. It is your life. Your friend isn’t your boss. Stand up for yourself!!
English

@fwBen_ I agree with your husband. You were wrong to get offended. You are the adult . Your love is conditional . Anyone who gets pleasure repaying anyone especially a child is not a good person. If I were your husband I would push you .
English

@elonmusk I agree. Altman is dishonest and cares about no one except himself and the Almighty $.
Elon, you are a true humanitarian and proud to call you my friend!😍

@CrazyVibes_1 Yes it is your obligation to clean up after yourself at fast food. Only at a nice restaurant can you leave your mess and a tip. You are acting entitled & selfish and not considerate of others. Have some manners & stop being a slob!
English

Got yelled at by a stranger for leaving my table like this, and now I’m wondering… is it actually my responsibility to clean up at a fast food place? Honest question—when you go somewhere like McDonald’s or KFC, do you clear your own tray? We finished eating and left the table messy (we literally just ate there), and some random guy started going off on us for not throwing everything away. We defended ourselves—because we’re paying customers, not employees—and somehow the staff ended up kicking us out over the situation. I genuinely don’t get it. I’m paying for the service, so why am I the bad guy for expecting staff to clear tables and clean up? Isn’t that part of their job? Make it make sense.
