Beezlebub. The short-lived Marvel off-shoot series in the early 90's about a clone of Wolverine's. While this Bobby Knuckles character's ghetto demeanor put most white readers off, he accurately plotted the career course of rappers such as Snoop Dogg, and the advent of 2chainz, portrayed in the comic as a wizard with powerful magic and little control, ironically named LMFAO. Cited as major inspiration by 50 Cent, Waka Flocka Flame, and 311.

Sometimes, I really, really just want to stab people right in their stupid faces. I posted a thing on Facebook about how the tipping system is poo poo and we should move to a system where waitstaff (and other profession)'s wages aren't dependent on their customers not being utter fuckfaces. Of course, the loving Libertarian I know posts "I don't tip."

Well, of course not. Tipping would indicate to the plebian that their choice of career is viable, rather than encouraging them through crippling poverty to find a better career, perhaps in investment banking, law, or engineering? I mean, they made it on their own, with no one but their parents paying their entire college tuition to help them, so why can't that other person?

Tipping is literally serfdom. The idea that a person can be paid lower-than-minimum wage based on the possibility that they might get enough tips to bring them above it has always been abhorrent, right up there with the law that allows businesses to pay employees with disabilities a lower wage based on the employer's assessment of how much work they can do. Which has led to some businesses paying workers as little as 22 cents an hour, with little oversight regarding whether or not the assessment is actually valid.

In most developed countries, wait staff are paid at least minimum wage and then tipping is what it's intended to be? i.e. You can give a tip if you think they did a really good job but it's not expected, right?

In Australia at least, tipping is done rarely if at all and any tips are pooled to be split amongst all the staff. Waitpeople are paid a decent wage at higher end establishments and they get penalty rates (So double time on Sundays, Triple time on public holidays etc). e: I should note the minimum wage here is around $17 an hour.

Yes. The way it works in my country is that wait staff are paid minimum wage, then management can either add a 10% service charge to the bill which by law has to be distributed to the wait staff (and you can still tip on top of that), or they don't and the customer may or not tip because the wait staff still gets paid minimum wage even if you don't. The first time I read about how labor was structured in the US I was fairly shocked (on top of the lack of things like maternity leaves, vacation leaves, sick days, overtime pay, allowances, and so on)

Tipping is literally serfdom. I know - I hate the tipping system and will happily rant just about any day of the week about how terrible it is. At the same time, it's a system we are unfortunately stuck with at the moment, and not tipping is scummy because it's become part of the expected price of restaurant food, and not tipping is actively stealing money from the waitstaff at an establishment. Tipping vs not tipping (in modern America), tipping is the lesser of two evils. I'm actually having that discussion with someone else on Facebook who got the impression that I'm pro-tipping because I've been railing on this Libertarian moron that he needs to stop being a sack of scum and tip. At one point I used Humble Bundles as an example (for anyone who doesn't know, Humble Bundles are when game developers, through Humble Bundle Inc, put packages of their games up for sale for whatever price you feel like paying for them - they're great bargains even if you pay like twenty bucks a bundle for them, not to mention that large chunks of the money go to charitable organizations), and said that not tipping is like buying Humble Bundles for a penny each. He immediately started defending buying Humble Bundles for a penny each. I just can't win.

Guavanaut posted:The nice thing about an-caps is that they are usually the biggest examples of why their system wouldn't work and would instantly turn into an exploitative pile of poo poo. I actually opened trying to appeal to that kind of thinking - my first argument was that by not tipping at a restaurant, you help drive away skilled waitstaff who will then be replaced with less qualified individuals, thus degrading your own future enjoyment of that restaurant after the service has gone to poo poo. The problem, as I discovered, with that is that an-caps are imbeciles. He literally just did not seem to comprehend the idea that his behavior impacts the world around him, so I switched over to trying to bludgeon him to death with that idea with a moral/ethical argument.

Why do truthers not try to learn how heat conduction works? It's loving space, where is all the heat going to go? You don't need heating beyond a basic balance to radiation, right?

If you think their understanding of thermodynamic properties goes beyond "When it's cold outside, I get cold quickly -> Space is even colder than outside -> Anything in space must need super heating to not freeze instantly" then you are sadly mistaken.

Being as it's so unbelievably cold, I wonder if there was a way for them to store oxygen in a form that is more compact than a dive tank. Their logic doesn't even act consistently with itself.

So someone from my fencing school has some very interesting (read: gross) opinions on how women dress, feminism, personal responsibility, and rape. Namely that if you dress a certain way, you can expect to get raped because reasons, and it's all your fault because testosterone. edit: It gets a little confusing, but Marion Gaze is Anna Lytics. Not sure why it changed his name.

Since the theory of tipping is that a part of the server's wage is left to the discretion of the customer to encourage better service, if your friend is a Randroid, ask him what Dagny Taggart would think of someone who felt entitled to receive professional, competent service without paying for it. It's really no different from hiring a person to do the job with the promise of pay afterwards based on quality, then saying "nope, not good enough, you get zero" regardless.

It'd be 'us' cause you don't do something with we, you do it with us. She can be immensely infuriating sometimes (I do not ever talk politics with her, she has a really weird line of politics that is kind of Liberal with a lot of latent racism that she cannot bring herself to acknowledge, and god help the person who suggests she's being racist because she will take the ragecannon in that picture, dial it up from 6 to 10, and smash you into the wall, but that's a whole other can of worms), but she's mine, she's really great on the whole, and I love her to bits. Honestly, I really, really want the an-cap to respond. My mom has waited tables, tended bar, and worked sales in her life and fully understands just how lovely and soul crushing service industry is and will shank a mofo for suggesting that service industry deserves anything less than a comfortable living wage. I'll screenshot the whole thing and post it all once it is done, because god this is going to be glorious if he responds and she continues to hammer him into the dirt.

My buddy's girlfriend is a huge moon landing denier. When pressed for a reason she claims there's a lot of convincing information out there. We were having a laugh about it the other day when he reveals he believes in loving chemtrails. I had to break it to him that moon landing denial is more legitimate since there was at least a reason to fake it (show those Reds who's best) while chemtrails is basically babby's first conspiracy theory.
