@notThatAlxJones @TheNotoriousHRT You're delusional buddy. I take clients and large groups to restaurants all the time and roll my eyes at how much an 18% tip is on a $700-$1000 bill. Their tip goes up $40 because of the bottle of wine they bring over. Exact same work but $40 more because of the brand.
English
i think this is a fair practice given that tipping culture isn't going to be solved in the next 2 months and European tourists are fucking assholes
World Cup HQ@WorldCup26HQ
Some restaurants have planned an automatic 20% tip for U.S. visitors. 💰🇺🇸

@serenitynow2020 @TheNotoriousHRT 👏🏼 Then 👏🏼 cook 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 food 👏🏼 yourself 👏🏼
Why are you acting like you're a victim? You chose to go to a restaurant
English
@notThatAlxJones @TheNotoriousHRT It was like 5% at most that went to the kitchen. The servers got almost all of it TAX FREE. They make ridiculous amounts of money for the work done.
English
@serenitynow2020 @TheNotoriousHRT Tips also go to the people cooking your food, cleaning your dishes and wiping your table. If it's too much to pay for just eat at home...
English
@TheNotoriousHRT I think servers making $100/hr in tips is criminal. Oh you hit some buttons on your tablet, brought me a plate 30 mins later and filled my water cup once. Here's $25. Fkn joke if you ask me.

@Faj1791 True, but that was based on unusually terrible early exit polls that said Hillary would win in a landslide while doing better with whites but worse with latinos than Obama.
Precinct data proved that wrong immediately
English
Hillary's performance with latinos was also seen as very disappointing in 2016
Roll with Reagan ✝️ 🍷@PunishedRWR
Mitt Romney's 2012 performance in Suburban America was seen as very poor at the time

@dazi180turtle @No5mallf3at I think he's purely referring to leftists agreeing that there was a romantic and sexual relationship between the two, which right wingers deny, not the erômenos vs erastês debate, which is far too nuanced for the American electorate
English
@No5mallf3at I’m not familiar with the leftist narrative. Do they all converge on Achilles being the Eromenos? No woke Patroclus twink theories?
English
It’s so hilarious that the leftist historical narrative is the reading of Achilles and Patroclus’s relationship that Plato gave lol
The Warrior Philosopher@TWarPhilosopher
These two books were disastrous for humanity and study of the Ancients. Miller convinced leftists Achilles and Patroclus were gay lovers and Wilson translated the Iliad to implicitly hint at this. Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is the final straw to ruin Homer.
English
When the same judges looking at the same state with the same census data come to a COMPLETELY different decisions just 3 years later, their legitimacy crisis has nothing to do with Democrats.
It's entirely bc they treat their own decisions like celebs treat their marriages
Drew Savicki@DrewSav
SCOTUS overturning their own decision in Allen v. Milligan is embarrassing.

@JacobRubashkin Same thing happened with Doug Jones. Won statewide by 1.5% but only won 1/7 districts
English
He’s a better model than anyone else but Edwards also underscores the impossible task Dems have now.
In 2019, he won reelection by 3% but only managed to carry 1 of Louisiana’s 6 districts — majority Black CD2. He only came close in 1 other, the rest he lost by double digits.
Sam Stein@samstein
Ok. So. What would the Democratic Party actually have to do, like on a granular level, to win congressional races in the south in a post VRA world. @Lauren_V_Egan surveyed folks on the ground there. it's.... not easy thebulwark.com/p/a-democratic…

@plant_xbasedx The comments to her tweets are all people suggesting different vegan proteins that are all very accessible...
This is not a true ideology formed from reason, this is a want/desire that has been reverse engineered with progressive buzzwords into an ideology

It’s funny to me how Kari Lake has (correctly) earned herself the reputation of being one of the worst major candidates in recent history but somehow the AZGOP managed to simultaneously roll not one but TWO additional candidates that managed to significantly underperform her.
English
@Eweather13 Congrats! Does this mean you'll finally stop cropping out Maine?
English
@lymanstoneky Mostly bc of strategic retirements in competitive states they hold (MI, MN, NH) - get a newcomer to win in an easy year so they can have incumbency advantages in a harder year, as well as not have as many incumbents in general vs 2018
English
They have only *one* incumbent senator running in these midterms????
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
Pretty striking contrast in the ages of Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate this year vs. their last midterm against Trump in 2018.
English
@TylerDinucci I wonder if the Dems popularity problem is weighing down the GCB but the named candidates aren't being brought into it. "The Democratic party is SO corrupt, but [my dem candidate] is fine"
English
@mitsugazer @Cykalol_cl @orphcorp Are you seriously saying that people who don't want to work have a "skill issue" because they don't mooch off their parents??
And you're suffering while all of your bills are being paid for you?
Any suffering you're no longer enduring didn't go away, it went to your parents
English
@Cykalol_cl @orphcorp I live with family and don't pay rent. My circumstances allow me to do this, I know. But that's my point. It's not "the human condition." I still suffer, sure, but it's not the same kind of suffering as when I worked for a living. Nowhere close.

>looking for the root cause of my suffering
>ask if it's due to capitalism or the human condition

I just really, really hate the concept of capitalism. I don’t want to work my job every day. I want to make art. I want to be in my garden. I want to feel something.

@AssasinofEire @realcopeaganda @keithdorejel @Wilson__Valdez Wow sounds like one side is more likely to listen to the demands of protestors, so we'd probably be better off electing them
English
@realcopeaganda @keithdorejel @Wilson__Valdez yeah, one group will never listen to those protests (republicans) and the other group is supposed to (Dems).
Very Smart and Insightful conclusion here dipshit.
English
This is such obvious cope bullshit... If there's an ongoing genocide happening, that took precedence over every single progressive issue you ever cared about, you don't just suddenly stop protesting when there's a new president.
You help spread apathy and help defeat the previous administration to send them a message, and then when the message is sent and we are dealing with the results of that message, you disappear?
Total coward shit.

@WaifuverseAI Because you're not just buying the eggs, you're paying for:
-shipping the eggs to the store
-some rent/utilities for the store to exist
-someone to put it on the shelf
-the cashier & bagger
-admin needed to run the company
-taxes
-profits to investors
Only the last one is greed

Why am I not seeing 25 cent per dozen eggs in the store
