Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

This image is a joke, but this actually happened to me once. Was very confused as to why a delivery was taking so long, especially since the place I ordered from wasn't too far from me. Turns out the driver was planning to deliver mine last on their way back to their store, but got hit.
I didn't have to go retrieve my order from the wreckage though, just had to make the trek out to the store and leave an extra large tip for the driver.
Tip culture is so weird. Like, I get feeling bad for the guy...I was that driver once (my car slipped out of park on a steep driveway and rolled backwards into traffic)...but he didn't do the one thing he was supposed to, and you paid him extra for it.
I'd be worried even more of the tip not going to him
Yep, tips can credit towards minimum wage.
Depends on state, but it means the employer may go as low as $2.13/h if the employee gets enough tips.

So, you might just be tipping the employer.
FTFY
Jesus that's extremely illegal in most western countries. Minimum wage is minimum wage, you're not allowed to include theoretical tips that the server might get.
It's the same with performance bonuses, which is essentially what tips are, the base salary has to be declared on the job listing and has to be paid. None of this "with gratuity salary is equivalent to minimum wage" nonsense.
Sums up most of what I know about the US, really.
Doordash has been repeatedly caught stealing tips, hasn't it?
I mean there's always the chance, but it was a local place and I'd like to imagine a mom and pop wouldn't do an employee that shitty
