So... If i read this correctly.... The net difference is zero? Except when I'm being an asshole and I dont tip.

So in the end, this boils down to offering the option of being an asshole to your customers.

As an european I always find this discussion weird. And when visiting stateside I never really can "gauge" what I should tip. Am i in a joint which underpays the server? Is (s)he fine? Is 10% enough? More? Should i just make it whole? I just never know. I sometimes even have resorted to just bluntly ask the server or a patron what is customary. (my weird accent helps getting an honest answer)

It's quite honestly a shit fest. There is an amount on the billl... But that isnt the real amount, except when you're an asshole. And if you over tip you're still an asshole, just a stupid one, and if you're undertip you're also an asshole.

Come to think about it: it really boils down to which kind of asshole do you want to be.

I dont know what you're talking about. My dumb brain just completes this with:

mushroom, MUSHROOM. A snake oh no its a snake it's a.....

Its very simple. Sex is boring to look at. Even porn. Whats the longest you watched a porn movie? 5 minutes? 15? Let's top it off at 30 minutes. Just to be safe.

Violence is not boring. Stuff like John Wick grabs you by the ass and puts you on a roller coaster.

Want proof? Look at gaming. How big are the dating sims? Now compare that with call of duty/etc.

So, me? Yeah, stop with the xxl steamy sex scenes in movies. Very rarely do they add anything more then an interlude. A time to get coffee. To look at your notifications. At best.

To be clear: I love sex. My sex.

Prometheus good? Your not a minority, you're alone.

So many unanswered questions. So much alien lore down the toilet, hours of backstory takes with guy Pearce and Charlize Theron cut and thrown away. Scientist looking like mercenaries and making worse decisions then a five year old. The little clues pointing to a blade runner connection going nowhere. If david was called weylands son, what does that mean for his daughter?

I guess it works as a generic non alien body horror film.

Prometheus wasn't cut, it was butchered to be just that. A generic scifi horror story.

Nobody of the normal populace knew. Do you really think the jews would get on those trains without putting up a real fight? Bringing their belongings, jewellery in suitcases to Dachau, Auschwitz?

Does that sound like actions of someone who knew what was going to happen?

Yes, a lot of people knew what was going on. A lot of people, more people, didn't know shit. The problem was not that. The problem was that they didn't care.

If you kill several thousand people to make a point you're a terrorist.

The end.

No. Lemmy posts are always left leaning. There is no right and no center. Thats disheartening. Next to that most communities are too small so no viable discussions follow. Most communities die in months.

Then again, reddit.com doesnt exist anymore because some schmucks have taken over, resulting in obtrusive ads, profiling and tracking.

I dont post on reddit anymore. Still follow some subs though because they just dont have an alternative.

I went from 1 source (reddit) to several(lemmy, mastodon, 4chan, 9gag). And still it feels empty. Mostly because while some memes are nice, 4chan is filled with morons and 9gag... That's a "racist app" according to its own users. But it doesn't stop there. A lot of posts there are just vile. Not just right wing nut job, no, they are worse. And masto is mostly the same as lemmy.

Fuck it, there is no substitute.

Semi professional wifi(networking) at home (TP link omada or ubiquiti) and just buying excessive amounts of access points in my home.

Fuck you, low wifi signal. Fuck you, crashed router.

Hello fellow 50ish year old gamer.

You forgot homeworld.

Disco is terrible, lazy writing. It's just endless word vomit.

I like literature, smart word play. but this ain't that. This is just throwing everything including piss, vomit, semen and feces on the wall and see what sticks. And in a lot of early game scenes it's this quite literally.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that Disco is not for everyone. You love it or it makes you nauseous. There is nothing in between. And you only know which one is you when you try it.

First you do what you, reading, learning. Then you start building stuff, repurposing old hardware.

Then you find that something breaks, the old fan in that old system quits, that linux version does something horrible to its ext filesystem because you made a configuration error. And then you look at the 100+wh it uses, 24/7.

That's the moment I just bought a qnap which fitted my budget. (or synology or asustor)

And these run, in your use case, for decades.

The end.

Ps: dont forget a backup solution.

Edit edit edit: decades? Yes, decades. I've a TS-210 to prove it. Still churning along as a backup target. I've never had a qnap die on me, except one time, an external ac/dc power supply died.

Edit edit edit edit: muh security! Qnap, synology, asustor bad! Yeah yeah. Don't use the (qnap) cloud services. They are neat though and quite safe. As long as you keep thinking for yourself.
