Hey it wasn't all bad in 2020. The restaurant I worked at closed and I made more money on unemployment for 2 years than I ever had working in kitchens.
Relatable. I literally have a bad back because of trying to solo move an old TV in the 90s
That is not relevant to the subject at hand, because the cost of living and social support systems vary so widely between the US and the rest of the world. Without knowing anything else about your locale, I can only speculate that your restaurant industry is either far more exploitative than the US and keeps prices low by underpaying workers, or the people who profit from the businesses are slightly less greedy and allow a more generous portion of the budget to be allotted for pay.
Different things are different, I'm talking about the United States
Tips may have been that way a hundred years ago but I've been in the restaurant industry in the US for over 15 years, and for the duration tips have been used as a means to offload labor costs to the customer. They are not optional for the majority of people who work for tips, they are the difference between paying bills and not.
The practice is antiquated and should be completely removed as the standard way to compensate restaurant workers. But the thing that anti tippers always seem to miss is that the labor costs will still be there and the owners are not going to take it out of their cut. The menu prices will per force go up when companies get rid of tips. The same people will be complaining about that just as loudly, I'm willing to bet.
As I said in another comment, it's a bad system, but if you don't tip, you're a bad person.
It's a bad system but you are a bad person if you don't tip.
You're right, the term has taken on that meaning by now. It's just relatively short compared to the multi hour video essays I tend to consume the most.
Mostly short form explainers about interesting subjects, presented in a sort of breathless British TV presenter style. Like a young Attenborough but less posh. Pretty good channel.
There's not really a general association with fuckwits, the whole thing stems from Apple phones using a different color for Android users in a text, because they have a bunch of proprietary bullshit in iMessage that doesn't work on Android. It's a meme but also I'm sure some people take it quite seriously.
Edit: Apple users are fuckwits though
It's a borrowed word because we don't have a translation, though. Tamales are tamales. Also we say tamale for singular but it's tamal in Spanish. It's a loan word in every way.
Thanks for mentioning trash guides. As I mentioned in my other reply, it helped me get everything set up easily.
Thanks for this! I didn't know about symlinks so with the help of the trash guides site the other poster mentioned I was able to get it set up.
It's not perfect and it'll be a minor chore to refresh the libraries but it's better than it was.
Also, in the process I discovered that I am dumb, and I overlooked the "mixed movies and TV" option when adding my library before. I just added the same one twice, once as movies and once as TV. It worked for Plex but obviously caused issues in jellyfin. Doing it the correct way also gave me the no frills directory structure style that I was looking for. I'm using the symlinks for now but if I get tired of the upkeep my friends will just have to deal with the slightly less aesthetic version.
I only recently set up a Plex server to share movies and TV with friends. It was a painless setup process. I have all my media in the same downloads folder, and Plex was pretty good at parsing which things were movies and which were TV. A few things confused it (one web based TV series showed up as 13 different movies for example) but overall very good results.
Then the news broke about Plex sharing people's porn viewing habits and even though I am not sharing any in my server, I had second thoughts. I'm not much of a power user these days but I do care about digital privacy and take measures to protect it, so I found jellyfin and gave it a shot.
The media detection is embarrassingly bad. It cannot tell the difference between movies and TV at all. The movie aliens was identified as the TV show ancient aliens. The Barbie movie was identified as some direct to streaming kids show. And so on.
The only solution I've found digging around in the app is to edit the metadata of every file that it got wrong. It's time consuming and frustrating. I would prefer to just have a bare bones directory structure but I cannot find any way to make it work that way. Even just the ability to remove files from a category would be good enough but all I can seem to do is delete the media entirely.
I would prefer not to reorganize my directory structure into distinct categories of movies and TV because it is also where I seed my torrents. Is there a convenient way around this? Is this purely a skill issue? Am I dumb?
I have been getting drawn back into the FOSS world with the growing trend of enshittification but my hazy memories of horrible UX and endless annoying tweaks and workarounds from the brief time I switched to Linux (over 15 years ago at this point) are resurfacing and I'm recalling why I gave up on it back then. Furthermore my friends with whom I'm trying to share things are less tech savvy than me and I dread having to troubleshoot their Roku apps remotely. Should I just give it up and stick to Plex or is there a way around all of this that doesn't require annoying micromanagement?
I'm pretty sure the person in the photo is doing the dance from the Wednesday show.
Take your time, it's worth it. I reluctantly finished my "first" playthrough (not counting my actual first attempt when I started as the dark urge and restarted after 20 hours because it was clearly fucking everything up) at around 250 hours played. This patch is making me consider starting again. Best game I've played in ages.
It also semi consciously feeds into the misogynistic trope of calling/implying that men are feminine as an insult. It's just a bad look all around
As a fellow chipmunks hater, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you to check out chipmunks on 16 speed. Truly a mind melting experience.
I'm sorry, you're welcome.
I believe the implication is that these people are part of a psy-op from Russia. It was a common theme of online discourse during Trump's presidency, with some decent factual evidence to back it up iirc. Many pro trump accounts on Twitter were suspected of being operatives, or even just bots, for example.
It's kinda stale as a reference, but there is still a significant chance that these kinds of accounts still exist and engage in spreading disinfo.
That is too much leguizamo for anyone to attempt in a single sitting. Know your limits!
It's a real photograph from the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. It's a racist joke based on a real tragedy, making it double shitty.
Here's the original
My mistake, I assumed you were disagreeing from a creationist sort of position, not a seemingly accurate scientific one. I retract my sick burn.
