i’ve been on the subway with homeless people that peed, screamed, all sorts of stuff. it was mildly uncomfortable but truly didn’t impact my day in any way. maybe your husband needs to toughen up
daniela@daniela__127

My husband was on a crowded train yesterday when a homeless woman got on, pulled down her pants, and peed all over the train in front of everyone. He hasn’t stopped talking about it for the past 24+ hrs. It is the single most traumatizing thing that’s happened to him in nyc.

@ChowRabbit @marycatedelvey So when the Chinese Communist Party photographed the Apollo landing site, they were just joining in the conspiracy, right?

£12.71. What a joke. Needs to be £23 per hour minimum. Absolute minimum.

@grd8901 @jjmrko @SocialEngland66 Americans are so deluded they don’t see how genuinely insane and stupid the whole system looks to outsiders. You CANNOT hold customers responsible for paying staff salaries. That is CRAZY!!!

American restaurants are legally allowed to pay servers $2.13/hour. In Japan, tipping is rude. In Australia, servers make $24/hour before tips. In Denmark, $25/hour with full benefits. In those countries, a server handwriting a demand for more money on a receipt would be absurd. The restaurant already paid them. In America, the restaurant doesn't. So 20% from the customer fills the gap. That's the system. Leaving less means the server worked your table for two dollars an hour. This receipt is what that looks like in practice. $525 check. The restaurant collected every dollar. Printed "gratuity: $0.00" on the bill. Paid the server $2.13/hour. Then left the building. The customer left $60 in cash. That's 11%. The server handwrote a note: "I was expecting more like $120. Thanks." The note looks entitled until you do the math. At $2.13/hour, a four-hour dinner shift pays the server $8.52 from the restaurant. The difference between a $60 tip and a $120 tip is the difference between $17/hour and $32/hour for skilled service on a $525 tab. Everyone is arguing about the server's attitude. Nobody is asking why a business that just collected $525 is paying its worker two dollars. The server and the customer are fighting over who covers payroll. The restaurant owner is nowhere in the conversation. Already won.

The reason I would like self driving cars is that so many cabbies seemed to have given over control of their brains to the far right.

It's beyond ridiculous that glass is so widely used for as food & drink containers. It breaks easily, becomes sharp & pointy & is already heavy before the contents go in. Aluminium all the way.

@Sam_Dumitriu My local council now also requires pre-booking for residents to use its recycling centre. Apparently ANPR wasn’t enough. It’s faffy, and like a ghost town now. Where do they think all of that waste is going?

Why does the UK have such a bad fly-tipping problem? In the Guardian, George Monbiot blames deregulation and not enough spending on enforcement. To me, the cause is obvious. Britain has the highest landfill tax in Europe. The returns to flytipping are just higher here.

@H4ryB @Sam_Dumitriu @mattwridley Got anything to back up the assertion that "most are caught on camera"? Not many cameras in farmer's fields or country lanes

@Sam_Dumitriu @mattwridley Simple Suggestion: any vehicle filmed involved in fly tipping can be impounded and held until all the clean up and damages are paid. Most of these big fly tips are caught on camera but get stuck in long legal actions. The vehicles are the easiest route

Now that I'm in the demographic myself, I'm completely bewildered by the popularity of Reform among over 65s. How can rapidly ageing ex-punk rockers and mods (or even hippies, for that matter) bring themselves to vote for Farage?

This can turn out to be really bad, seriously. Those M&M's falling thousands of feet to the ground can cause some damage, especially if they hit somebody. People need to use their brain a bit more before doing things for content... 🤬

@anon_opin So here's the thing. I've been to meat processing plants for my work and let's take chicken. Your standard roast chickens are identical for all the major supermarkets and are just given different labels. However, the upmarket ones like M&S come from specialist farms or are...
