Why do you guys think that POC's tend to gravitate towards that hustle culture bullshit so hard?


t's class not race, you grow up in a rat race with nothing but the idea of hustling to get ahead. You see rich fucks doing it with no repercussions and take the wrong message.
it's fine for you to do because you deserve to get ahead unlike everyone else that didn't suffer like you did.

I'm bad at being woke, what's the take on Airbnb? In this case, we have three actors: landlord (bad), hosts and guests. Aren't the hosts just being sublandlords and the guests are enabling it? Is it just bad guys all the way down?

I recently found out the unit two doors down from me has been hosting via airbnb for the entire pandemic. Hotels are not even legal here in Melbourne, nor is travel more than 15km (5km until recently).

I only found out because their dumbass guest lost his keys and rang my intercom at 620 in the morning, then did it again at 1030pm, then proceeded to smoke inside.

So I've been exposed to covid cooties this entire time apparently.

They will absolutely give you a bad rating but I bet you could appeal through airbnb with evidence that the host is selling a room where guests are not welcome. Then youre putting your faith in airbnb that they will do the right thing (lmao)

Assuming it actually goes to the server, I would guess it's to avoid the assholes who "show off" by getting a big meal but skimping on the tip.

I'm sure it tastes room temperature while it sits there and the chef spends twenty minutes cranking into your steak before putting the gold leaf on.

I would definitely spend $400 on steak if I could, but it wouldn’t be Medium & $5 worth of Gold Leaf steak

Yeah that's what it's for but traditionally reserved for parties of 8 or more, I've never seen it applied to a table of two. Either it's the restaurant policy or the server thought they looked like cheapasses.

If the restaurant uses tableside payment systems (which it is, in this case - that's that "Powered by Toast" at the bottom) there's just a button you can mash that auto-adds however much gratuity you want and puts it on the receipt like that.

Full Disclosure: I only know this because Toast is a direct competitor to the company I work for. Please use our thing instead of theirs if you're a restaurant rear end in a top hat. I don't actually know what our thing is called, I don't work in that department, but you should use it, thank you.

The part of it that really hasn't aged well is the late-century conviction that the Japanese are going to take over the world. See also Sondheim's Pacific Overtures, Crichton's Rising Sun, Blade Runner, and of course Gibson's Neuromancer.

They could have been doing absolutely nothing, because bitcoins are mined using special chips that can only do one thing and that is mine bitcoins. The entire thing is useless purpose-built waste all the way down.
