The single best thing people can do to end tipping culture is to just stop tipping.

Vote for social safety nets or make donations to care for those who will be harmed by this.

But right now it's people like you that are perpetuating tipping culture.

And yes, I am an asshole - but it's not solely because of my stance on tipping.

Your advice would require people to drastically change their lives right now. Everything's tipped.

Telling people to stop tipping requires almost nothing from them.

And yes, it will make things worse for the exploited workers - they'll have to find new jobs if they're not happy with their agreed-upon remuneration. But it's this that will convince the employer to pay more - if they can't attract staff they'll have to offer more

Stopping tipping also puts the burden where it should be. You are the one saying your pay isn't enough (and thus need tipping) - you fight for it yourself.

If you outsource your work, you outsource your reputation. BYD is absolutely responsible for the conditions of the workers.

Quite liking it so far, though it's a bit like stepping back 20 years with the fiddling to get some games working. Next step will probably be ditching the Nvidia card for something else.

Parents, copyrights, and trademarks are grouped together as Intellectual Property. They're all quite distinct however.

You guys should really think about changing your voting system.

Our voting uses something called a Single Transferable Vote. You can rank candidates in order of preference - last place gets eliminated and any votes they got are instead transferred to each voters' next preference. Repeat until there's only one left.

It cuts out most of the stupid games and you get to see people's positions more honestly.

In this case it'd let people vote for an anti genocide candidate and still indicate that they'd prefer Biden over Trump.

I've always heard them described as seagull managers. Screams loudly, shits everywhere, leaves.

That doesn't really come across when you're framing being single as a problem.

And even if you do have the talent internally you can still seek specialised feedback on your work - most authors work with editors for example.

The only reason this case is notable is because of the reactionary response to the "woke" games industry (and games journalism in particular). This is just another round of nonsense in this culture war, so people on either side are staking out ridiculous positions.

Exactly, so the use of "crash" would generally be far better for these sorts of articles.

"Accident" starts addressing intentions or expectations.

We could just add easily refer to them as "vehicular violence" but then we'd end up distorting things in another direction.

I'd prefer titles that more accurately described the content - they don't necessarily have to quote the content.

Brutal. Her clan's still being fucked generations later.
