  • Your argument isn’t grounded in reality which is my argument, propose a plan that will actually have impact past screwing service workers.

    I’m not sure what your point is with labor demonstrations, those people got change though very bloody(not voluntarily bloody) organized protests, not tipping isn’t even close to an accurate comparison. A little more profit to the working class is a crumlet and just doesn’t do shit for service workers, let’s focus on taking the pie back which again not tipping isn’t doing.



  • This only works in an idealized perfect scenario which doesn’t exist. You not tipping only hurts the delivery driver and doesn’t touch the man whatsoever. Furthermore companies are only required to pay 7.25 federally unless state has other laws, which many don’t. So best case scenario you are bumping people up to 7.25 which isn’t even close to a living wage and wouldn’t do a thing for vehicle maintenance and gas.

    You are welcome to believe that you are sticking to the man not tipping but the reality is that you are fucking over hard working people short term. Even if everyone unilateral agreed to stop tipping it would take years for the system to fully catch up and again you would be fucking them over during those years.



  • Never really thought about this but reflecting back on it nonsexual intimate conversations with women when I was a teen definitely gave me a lot of insights on a woman’s perspective. Not only with friends but cousins around my age too, that was especially great around middle school because I was pretty nervous around girls then.

    That being said I don’t think it will help a ton with getting a girlfriend in the first place necessarily, but it will definitely help once you are in a relationship afterwards and just in any interaction with a woman.

    Successfully starting a relationship is hard as fuck. It’s a mixture of confidence, reading cues, timing, perseverance, and a ton more. The only sure way to learn how to do it is to try, take no for an answer, don’t be pushy, accept rejection it will happen a lot, and TAKE BREAKS. It’s pretty soul crushing when it doesn’t work out and it probably isn’t going to a majority of the time for many reasons. After getting consecutively rejected for so long you can start to develop some negative thoughts. When you start to feel like this just stop trying for a few months until you’re mentally right again.

    All that said I would 100% advocate for having a personal platonic relationship with a woman, it just may not be too helpful in learning how to get a relationship started.





  • plead the 5th on VAS haha. I love my TM2 it’s my favorite most used device! I am getting a ball vape in soon and I’m super excited to see how it lives up to my expectations.

    I really like how these devices open cannabis up for people who have issues with smoking. My dad has mild asthma, he and my mom smoke occasionally. I turned them on a vape and it made it much easier for him.

    I love seeing people’s whole setups, the variation is wild!






  • Yes to both lol, the cult is toxic af but on Lemmy I think it’d be great! I’ve spent a frankly embarrassing amount on cult bud so I could contribute a shit ton to a cult community if we had one. I also try to keep up on the news for them and there would be 0 shilling here probably.

    On to the vaporents side, I have a mighty+, (sadly collecting dust, I need to sell it so it gets used, great unit), a tinymight2, and I just pre-order the vapvana screwball that I am super excited for. So I could also make some OC content for that side but not nearly as much as a cult sub. Like you said that one’s dead currently and I don’t buy vapes like bud.

    I suppose for now we could just do all of this on trees? I thought about it but I think long term it may be better to start these communities? Not sure TBH but I would love to see em both!
