That's fair. But when you're arrested on suspicion of committing a crime, your identity is made public. I guess I'm more wondering why this guy's name and image are withheld in this instance.
Sorry for any confusion. I don't consider McDonald's a tipped server. I'm talking about restaurant workers whose hourly wage without tips is below minimum wage.
The "tip everyone working any service job" is something else entirely.
Obviously a single customer not tipping doesn't hurt a server financially, but this isn't really about a single customer, right? You have to get to a tipping point (no pun intended) to affect change. If we all just gave up on tipping without a solution in place, who suffers? The servers. That's it.
Fair enough on raising prices, but with chains I was thinking less about the increase coming from paying employees and more from "look, people will pay more!"
A little while back in another thread, someone was arguing that the only way to force the US away from tipping was to not tip. That is just...that's not going to work.
Okay, let's say that enough people stopped tipping servers to the point that the employers have to start making up the difference to pay them minimum wage. Then what? Small businesses already operating on a thin margin close. Chains raise prices. Previously tipped workers probably make less than half of what they did previously. And the government? They do nothing because, heck, everyone is getting paid enough. Because we all know that US minimum wage is definitely something people can live on.
Increased prices and closing of some small businesses seems inevitable no matter how you go about it, but we can't just rely on restaurants paying servers up to $7.25 an hour and expecting them to survive. It's a massive change and needs to come from the top down. And I can't see that happening.
My dude, it was the 80s, not the dark ages. We didn't normally have to use a voice recorder to dub tapes. Component systems made taping off records, cassettes, radio, or whatever else easy. Every one of my friends had a dual cassette deck somewhere in the house.
I can't think of a single person - my grandparents included - who DIDN'T have a dubbed copy of an album or a mixtape someone has given them.
Ha! Personally, moving my family away from whatever is on their phone for is damn near impossible. So I use Proton for my email, calendar, and passwords. Photos and contacts are on my NAS.
But I'm guessing that the $5 a month isn't getting you a fully managed solution. You're still on the hook if your users have trouble or if you flip a switch that breaks something. Just because you aren't hosting it on prem doesn't mean you get to be hands off.
Unfortunately can't find it online right now, but there was a piwer-pop band from Portland, Maine in the late 90s called The Troubles who did an excellent cover of this on their first album. The lead singer has some natural grit to his voice, so while not as rough as McGuire, you still feel the emotion.
Whoa, dude. Not everyone is comfortable managing their own solution. There is nothing irrational about that. I'm hosting like 25 services over here and I'm also unwilling to host certain things like email - especially for anyone other than myself.
On the list of things wrong here, I'm not sure "posting photo of what someone does in public" even ranks.
Which is where I am and where this happened and where the article is being published, sooo.... I guess my question still stands?

Why are they blurring his face? Fuck that. You need to let people know who these idiots are.
Edit: Okay. I've been properly chastised. I'm not entirely swayed, but you all have given me pause and things to think on.
PUSA will always have my upvotes.
I don't understand the how or why it works, but it was life changing when I started tapping that little magic button.

Back about like 30 years ago when a coworker introduced me to the Guyver anime, I was fucking PUMPED to find out there was a live action version.
And then I saw it. I should rewatch it. I recently watched the second one.
I like to believe that his name is Logan or Patch and he has left superheroing behind for a simpler, quieter life.

I have never heard of this band before, but I like it. No idea if it's true or not, but it sounds like a huge influence on John Danielle's style.
Thanks for introducing me to something cool and new (to me)!

Not a bad deal then!
Family of 5. We stayed at an Airbnb in Salem, MA that was Harry Potter themed. Kids loved it. Good experience.
Generally though, hotels, please.

WHAAAAAAAT? NO! HOW CAN THIS BE??
This game was too much for my simple mind when I tried it. Maybe I should give it another shot.
