or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life.

It seems so stupid that I’m like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don’t want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don’t want to “sign up.”

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I’m not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that’s enough.

    By giving a big tip you are just telling the employer “Don’t worry about paying your employees a living wage. I got you fam.”

    And what’s the alternative? Giving them nothing and telling yourself that it’s on them?

    Yeah no thanks. I hate tipping culture as much as the next guy, but this isn’t how you change that.

      I literally stated my preferred approach in the last sentence of that comment.

        Oh right so you’re a piece of shit. Got it.

        Maybe if you spent one day working food service, or any other job that makes $3/hour plus tips, you’d get it.

          Maybe you shouldn’t take a job that pays $3/hour and then blame other people for why you get paid so little. My brother in Christ, you accepted the job.

            “Maybe people should get jobs that pay more”

            Yo holy shit, I can’t believe nobody ever thought of that! Wow, thanks!
