It’s called fashion. look it up.

I feel like an alien or something. I just feel so disconnected from my fellow Americans.

And what’s next after that? People having traditions and celebrating things the way they want to for their enjoyment? -___-

What is my purpose?

I assume you are in the Dalton area? Maybe Trenton? No need to answer, it’s just interesting to see a fellow lemmyite from the same general region. I’m in the Chattanooga area and have heard similar things. These wait times seem odd this early, but I’m really happy it seems early voting turnout seems to be exceptionally healthy so far.

99 percent of “office chairs” are the same poorly constructed garbage that “gaming chairs” are. Actually good chairs are 400-1000+ which most people cannot afford unfortunately.

Cunk on Britain / cunk on the world

I couldn’t find the answer but I’m gonna guess Tokyo. If anyone finds a source I’m interested to know as well.

This sounds like an interesting hobby? Care to share more about how/why you are into dumpster diving for lightbulbs?

I hear “leverage” thrown around a lot where I work. I now hate that word.

How do you know that he isn’t?

I kinda get what you’re saying but that’s not why he’s celebrated

GAS! GAS! GAS!

I probably just wouldn’t use lemmy as an indicator of popularity/activity levels.

I think you’re missing that lemmy is a pretty tiny slice of the internet and niche(ish) communities either don’t exist or are mostly inactive. Just because something doesn’t seem to be making waves on lemmy, doesn’t mean it isn’t popular. The community for it just isn’t really here (yet).

It’s almost like they could have also said something more than just “hey”

I installed Linux mint on my laptop the other day because of various sustained long term annoyances with Windows. Despite some minor hiccups it only took about 30 minutes. It’s been such a great experience so far.

I tip and tip well when I patronize these businesses. You seem to defend the business owners while placing all the blame on this fictional group of people that are gleefully “fucking over wait staff.” Also your tone is really hostile and confrontational.

You’re assuming that it’s my responsibility to directly pay these people’s wages. I do but it’s a dumb argument that I disagree with. “let the businesses close and new ones open with better practices” is tantamount to saying “let these people find better jobs that don’t rely on tips to make a somewhat livable wage.”

I get what you’re saying and I still begrudgingly tip every time unless the service is terrible which is rare. But if people boycott these businesses instead of going and not tipping wouldn’t that be just as bad if not worse for service workers than not tipping at all?

For example, if 80 percent of the people who regularly patronize restaurants stopped going, wouldn’t a lot of these businesses close resulting in these people losing their jobs entirely? It’s not a likely scenario but it’s an interesting thought experiment.
