I like to think this was your brain trying really really hard to remember her name too. Put her right in front of you in the dream and just cobbled together whatever sound clicked when all your neurons tried to focus on her at once. Brains are so silly

Why can’t it be both? You broke down some pretty huge arguments regarding people’s existences into 'tokenism, but ignore the legitimate harm and suffering experienced by those groups at the hands of people who, although may not all be legitimately evil people looking to ‘destroy identifies’, but do have significant complaints about the existence of other groups in society and what acceptance of those seemingly fringe elements means for society. Break it into Rich vs Poor all you want, but I’ve met bigots of all classes and I don’t think it’ll stop anytime soon after toppling a class regime. If we all suddenly had access to the wealth the rich have extracted from us, I genuinely believe that the common asshole would have their tax bracket increase by three sizes, not their hearts.

I’m with the other commenter. There are people in this world born without empathy, and within that group, there is another two subsets, those that can learn it, and those that can not. It gets broken down further to people who can learn it and use it for good and learn it and use it to manipulate.

People born without these emotions aren’t common, but there really are ‘psychopaths’ out there that don’t/can’t/won’t feel things for other people. The only hope for these people is therapy, and even then, therapy is a double edged sword that also teaches them the tools to manipulate. And to a group that already is predisposed to not care how others feel, that’s a risky move.

I’ve had good luck with Sunshine/Moonlight, though I haven’t tried it in the last 6 months or so. Was using it to stream my much beefier desktop to my Rog Ally while in bed when I hurt my back.

There was a slight latency, like, enough to notice that I notice, but hardly enough to catch when fully engaged. But the PC was getting like 200 frames in the games I was playing and that was limited to the 120fps limit I set for Moonlight (i think it let’s you bypass this to go higher, but I didn’t want to at the time).

I don’t, but I thought you guys might

“You’ve never worked a tipped job have you?”

Proceeds to describe an illegal situation

That’s not. How. Tipped. Wages. Work.

Why do people insist that you get paid 2.10/hr? That’s 2.10/hr + Tips IF AND ONLY IF that wage equals more than minimum wage. That’s how it’s always been.

If minimum wage is 7.25 (in a lot of states, it still is), then they are paid 7.25x40 OR 2.10x40+tips, whichever of those two numbers is higher. They CANNOT LEGALLY PAY YOU less than minimum wage.

So when people say “If you stopped tipping today, all that would be hurt is the tipped workers” I’m less inclined to believe them if they also parrot absolutely false information without a second thought.

But I do agree with you, tipped wage jobs suck, and the tips seem to be the only benefit. So, let’s ensure they get a proper wage from their employer, stop tipping, and if service sucks until things are figured out, I guess I’m eating at home or eating shitty-service burgers because I’d rather the system get un-fucked than continue to engage in that system.

But the question then becomes…how many clowns have you let inside you?
