Yeah that’s not what it is.

It’s only “terrible” because it’s an accurate reflection of the political climate (just barely counting as parody/satire because that’s apparently the world we live in today)

Okay, then at the very least when you walk in you should declare your intention to not tip. Still shitty towards the server that gets stuck with you, but now it causes conflict amongst the staff and brings the issue to a head.

The tipping system is fucked, but that doesn’t at all change the fact that it’s baked into the system. EVERYONE (in that moment) expects you to to tip; so if you don’t, you’re effectively stealing from the server.

If you don’t want to tip, your only options are to either not eat out at restaurants, or to find restaurants that have “Hospitality Included” service (a trend which I’m thankful to see growing – albeit slowly).

Both can be true

Unfortunately Tesla is up 34% from its low in March (I know because I shorted them before their earnings)

I’m at least relieved to not have lead poisoning, for my gay brother to be safely out, and for my interracial marriage to not be scorned by the community.

Any chance he got all the data and access that he actually wanted, so now he’s good?

Me too. Invested in my setup last year :(

I’m still glad they wrote the piece.

I think it could be more tactical than simply not using the correct word. Trump has been a grifter his whole life; selling people things and not delivering on them…entering into contracts and not honoring his side of the agreement.

Being a grifter is a pervasive and consistent theme in his life, so when he accuses others of grifting, it indirectly softens those same accusations when levied at him.

“Grift” not grit. Trump is bad-faith arguing that these public broadcasters offer no value and are just stealing from the public.

In reality this administration just doesn’t like them because journalism and facts fly in the face of their misinformation, disinformation, and political propaganda/spin.

Every time we come up with a technical term to describe people with medical impairments to their intelligence, people begin using it as an insult.

I guess here’s hoping “intellectually disabled” doesn’t catch on (hopefully too wordy).
