Is there some law that every modern musician has to cover Wham’s song? Because it sure seems that way.

Because you’re on kbin. I don’t use kbin because of the lack of an API and because of weird bugs like those.

Pretty much, but I have no idea who the tip is going to in that case. Last time it happened to me, there was no button to not leave a tip. The options were 20%, 25%, 30%, and Custom, with 25% as the default. I had to hit Custom and type 0.00.

Tipping culture and living wage are not the same thing at all. It’s the owner’s responsibility to pay a living wage.

Plenty of places, even in retail and food service, pay a living wage without resorting to using the registers to beg.

And this, folks, is why tipping culture continues to get worse.

Yeah, it’s happened to me a couple of times.

I worked in food service and retail for a long time, not tipped. The idea that I have to leave a tip for putting my stuff in a bag and handing it to me is ludicrous to me. Employers can pay less because they can tell new hires they get tips.

Business owners need to pay their damn employees and stop using the registers to beg customers for more money.

Just wait until you get a tip prompt on a self-checkout kiosk.

And then have the media (Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest especially) tell everybody that yes, tipping everybody everywhere is the new normal and we need to get used to it.

I’ve gotten into so many arguments on Facebook with people who tip their mechanics and doctors. People are eating this shit up.

Crowder’s a piece of shit who doesn’t even practice what he preaches.

Well, Biden says racist stuff all the time, so… I guess?

And this.

Oh shit…

I get that, but their mission seems to be against the concept of federation. They want a safe space.

The way BeeHaw is run makes me wonder why they even bother with federation. They want a safe space.

The main issue is that Lemmy instances, by default, only know about their local communities and remote communities that the users of that server have deliberately subscribed to. Some smaller instances are running federation helpers which are bots that search for remote communities to fix this.
