  1. Do you speak from experience? Sorry about your bad trip man.

    I tried fmms and found it pretty flaky. Yes, I treat my USB very gingerly and worry all the time that it will finally give up the ghost.

    I'm still using my 8 year old Nokia N900. I might not get mms messages but from what I've seen I'm not missing anything else.

    Might depend on the party I suppose. Little "f" free is like someone giving you a free beer, big "F" free is like someone giving you a recipe for beer. The former you can consume just once, the later you can improve on and consume forever.

    How good the service can get for the waiter to get a huge tip?
    Does he have to go full monty?

    Not spilling my food and being prompt and pleasant is generally enough.

    The waiter will earn less than the flirtatious waitress, have you any doubts about that?

    Since I nearly always dine with an intimate guest, flirting would subtract quite a bit from the standard tip.

    The black waiter will get stiffed?

    On the other hand, a flirty black waitress may get more. I do have a thing for women of color.

    All you are promoting is discrimination, shaming underpaid people and excusing slave wages because we need to reward excellence Lol ... What does that even mean? Nobody said not to reward excellence, we said minimal wages should enable people to live decently like human beings!

    What happens when automation replaces waiters and waitresses?
    Put the poors against a wall and shoot, just because they were asking for bread they could not afford? Problem solved, right?

    All among the reasons I firmly support a UBI.

    Actually I am totally for a UBI that covers all the basic needs of survival. I also believe that traditionally tipped workers should be paid the same minimum wage as non-tipped workers. If you want more than the basic minimum though, yes, you should earn it.

  9. "A future where everyone has no opportunity to work in order to survive, and has no other means with which to secure the necessities of survival, is a hellish future for the human race.

    I agree, it could be very nasty if the necessities of survival aren't provided to everybody. History is chock full of bloody revolutions.

    What makes you think the owners of all the businesses that employ all those robots will willingly support the rest of humankind?

    What makes you think the rest of humankind will support the owners of all those businesses?

  10. Every person freed from mundane repetitive tasks easily performed by machines is a person who is free to contribute to the intellectual and spiritual growth of mankind! A future where everyone is not required to work just to survive is a bright future for the human race.

  11. Only beavers are allowed to alter to suit their needs.

  12. Re:Tipping on New York Plans To Force Uber To Add Tipping Option (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Because a minimal wage increase in this case would ignore performance? I'm all for UBI and such, but some people just perform better than others when providing service. Should those peoples excellence not be rewarded?

    Has it occured to you that the american system of prostituting yourself for tips is wrong and that the companies should pay their employees fairly instead of relying on the state or the customers to allow them to survive?

    I take it you don't believe in the concept of "earning your keep" then, or that your compensation should be based on the perceived value of the service that you provide?

  15. So long, goodbye, auf weidersan good bye. Dot dot dot dot dat doi, dot dot dah dot dot dot dah doi, dot dat dah dot dot doi, dat dat dah dat dat dot dat doi.

  16. That's right. Get robbed at night? Too bad! Police only work 9-5. Get sick at night? Too bad! Doctors and Nurses only work 9-5. Only special "snowflakes" are awake and alert after the sun goes down.

  17. Found the asshole with loser hours (i.e., waking up after the rest of the world is already up and doing something productive).

    It *is* conjecture because it's based on actual sleep patterns TODAY, when classes start at 8 am. If classes started at 11 am, losers like yourself would stay up later and still be losers.

    So you don't think there is any need for night owls, that they are all losers? As someone who has worked nights nearly all my adult life I can assure that the world doesn't stop at sundown. As a matter of fact many of the most devastating and life threatening injuries people suffer occur at night. If everyone followed a 9-5 schedule who would be alert enough to help them?
