The employer doesn't care if you don't tip. All you're doing is shafting the workers.

Oml yes it does. Some always gets taken which is super fucked up but they make up part of the wage. 60% of my income is tips and that's how most American service workers are. Please tip. It's a shitty system but it's the system. You're not rebelling by hitting no tip.

If you want to protest the owner's business model then boycott businesses that have tips. But refusing to tip at a tipped business is still giving 100℅ of your money to the owner, supporting their business, and leaving the employees out to dry. It's not morally righteous, it's cheap.

I worked at a coffee shop and 40% of my wage was tips. I wouldn't be able to afford to live otherwkse. Please tip your barista.

Tipping isn't really a social norm as much as it is a social imperative-- the food is considerably cheaper than it should be because you're expected to make up the cost difference in tips.

NY to LA will never be 14 hours with current or near future technology. Its 50 hours from Chicago to LA with the slow trains and while high speed rail is a significant improvement its not crazy enough to get speed increases like that.

Kate is great!

Everyone is recommending Tails but I feel like that's a lot more intense security and privacy wise than GrapheneOS, since Tails runs in a live environment only.

It feels a lot more snappy, clean, and modern. I think most of that is because it hasn't accumulated a lot of the bloat and feature creep that Reddit has over the years. The biggest downside, though, is that the community is much smaller and there isn't a lot of the niche content that Reddit is so good for.
