Your experience/statistic there is very different from my experience. It definitely depends where you are and how high-end the place is.

Place I work now, most tips are cash, by a substantial margin. Even when paying with card about half of our customers tip cash, and most transactions at this place are cash anyway. Places I worked previously were like a 50/50 split if people paid more often with cash or card, and again about a quarter of people paying card still tip cash.

Maybe because this is a low cost of living area, and everyone knows moving claims cash tips, maybe because it’s all small town stuff, idk.

Most people who work the service industry don’t claim cash tips, but credit tips are required to be claimed due to the whole being electronic and traceable thing.

If, as a service person, most or all tips are in cash, you just claim whatever brings you to minimum wage for that pay period.

This is obviously heavily dependent upon where you work - some places want you to claim all tips (but you still don’t claim cash usually) others, especially if you make above min wage like most bartenders, don’t care.

However, if you don’t claim those tips you can’t use that as income when taking out loans and applying for housing and whatever else. So it’s fucks people over pretty regularly.

Imagine being a doctor telling a couple their fetus died because of a sonic hedgehog gene mutation, tho. (This does happen)

Like, it won’t matter in another few hundred years, but culture is difficult right now.

Makes me wonder if the romans did meme shit like that. They graffiti shitposted and whatever so…

Luckily nobody asks me what I would name shit because my pets are testament to my complete lack of creativity. 😊

I mean I’m sure that’s the logic or something but…

Man it just feels wrong. Like the sonic hedgehog gene feels wrong. You know?

I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?

Changing timestamps and creating empty files…

Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔

Honestly there’s several weird pseudo-deep lyrics in that song so… maybe. He does use graying to describe the tower at the start. I think it’s probably just happenstance and pronunciation tho.

Hmm, would you consider this an iron overdose instead?

Requires medical attention and all ;)

I had a similar training selling stuff for a remodeling company.

I quit on the second day of training. It felt gross, and I told them I was really uncomfortable with their tactics and that’s 100% why I was quitting…

I also don’t watch tv and go out of my way to avoid ads :) pihole on the network, Plex and physical media for media needs.

I’d rather not have robot bees. I’ve seen hated in the nation (black mirror episode).

I think I might be going on a quest in middle earth…

My local pd sends someone out even if you tell them it was an accident.

This may only be for woman-type people, I don’t know, but the couple times I’ve accidentally called they always sent someone by to talk to me just to make sure I really don’t need them.

Kinda obnoxious, since I would be very unlikely to call the PD even if they were needed (only call the cops if you are ok with the possibility someone innocent will die), but I guess good on them for… being proactive… I guess.

On iOS, 5 quick presses doesn’t call emergency services, it reverts your phone to a pre-login state and gives you emergency options, so you can easily call 911, but it’s not required to use it.

This is super helpful to know if you have biometrics enabled. So cops can’t hold your phone in front of your face to unlock it if you do this.

Try it if you have iOS. 5 presses quick, you’ll feel a vibration to let you know it worked so you can do it from your pocket.

I’ve only used genAI once, to re-write my resume. (And I played with image generation to sort of see what it can do and be a muse for me because I’m aphantasic, but I was wiiiiiildly disappointed.)

It spit out something less good than what I fed into it, hallucinated a ton of skills and experience I don’t have, and it looked like AI slop when it was done. So a lose-lose.

Might be good for people who don’t know things or who can’t write for shit (so your average first year college student, IME) but… honestly it’s garbage if you aren’t average or below already. So I’m not surprised it’s ruining people’s ability to function.

Ai is a tool for dumb people (sorry. not sorry.) to land good jobs that dumb people shouldn’t hold or be hiring for, and that’s about it.

Hahaha I had the same experience learning Russian. It’s so hard to find simple stuff like dick and Jane, but in another language.

Interestingly, comic books, especially those which have been translated into multiple languages (marvel, dc, etc) are almost easier. They usually have short, less-complicated sentences, and the context is pictorial. Plus it’s not boring af to read, which is ultra-helpful. Maybe that’s why people like manga and anime so much…? Idk.
