The fix is to raise the minimum wage. Servers are exempt from most minimum wage laws because the restaurant lobby has carved out that exemption, in the assumption that tips will make up the difference.

Exactly. Why are these young people doing it? Because they’re showing off to their friends. “Look at these Arabs I roughed up!”

Israeli social media today is what social media in the 1930s would look under Jim Crow, complete with lynching videos being posted. The settlers are gleefully posting videos of themselves bullying Palestinians out of their homes.

I have a lifetime pass already but I’ve been souring on the app as they changed direction.

Previously it was the best app for running your own personal streaming service. It lets you share your library with friends and it even had its own group watch feature allowing multiple people to watch the same stream together. It was perfect for remote friends and family, brilliant during Covid…. And they removed it for no obvious reason.

Now the company spends more and more time trying to promote their own ad-laden video streams, they want us to rate movies and presumably sell that data. The company lost its way.

Lifetime Plex was still worth it with those features at $200, not at $750. If I had to do it all over again I’d probably use JellyFin.

Even peaceful protest is too much for Israelis to handle. They shoot Palestinians for nonviolent protest. They shoot Palestinians for not leaving their homes. They called it “diplomatic terrorism” when Palestinians went to the UN to complain and slapped sanctions on Palestinians.

When you do this, you make violent conflict inevitable. Netanyahu knows this and does it anyway. He wants that outcome.

Who said people are listening more to Trump? They’re certainly not taking him seriously despite his yelling to cameras and posting in caps.

And Iran DID agree to stop for a ceasefire. Remember they were the ones first attacked and demanded the US stop bombing them in order to discuss peace despite the Trump bragging that peace talks were a ruse to get soldiers in place.

They were attacked and Trump is talking about and actually bombing their infrastructure, making the other side’s infrastructure fair game. Iran has had a No First Strike policy meaning they committed to not fighting anyone unless attacked first and Iran had not invaded another country or started a war in over 200 years.
