but it might cause some employees to quit who were making a lot more than that

Wouldn't this, in turn, create a competitive advantage for restaurants offering higher base wages (and including what used to be tips in menu prices to begin with)? Or, if they are too stubborn for that, and good employees are lost to the industry forever and quality declines, maybe people go to restaurants less. In general I don't like the food service business and go out of my way to avoid it altogether, but I think that paying into an exploitative thing like tips just because you and the worker have been put into that kind of manipulation isn't the right decision. That said a campaign to stop going to restaurants that do tipping seems like a good idea also.

I think it would still help even if only some people stopped tipping, you don't need full coordination to make it a less viable business practice.

If you set up qbittorrent with the built-in search you can torrent stuff without ever opening your browser

I frequent a small imageboard and supposedly there is currently a wave of this shit across basically all such sites. The leading theory is it's being posted by feds as a honeypot or to drive people away from decentralized online discussion, everybody hates it.

I don't think it has to be a sad thing. Without that sort of structure you can be more imaginative, which has many advantages. Again, I don't want to be an engineer, I feel that would suck all the joy out of it and just isn't my style. That isn't to say an engineering approach to programming doesn't exist or isn't useful/necessary in some cases, but I would say it isn't the norm and probably shouldn't be.

What makes something engineering vs not? Personally what I do doesn't feel like engineering because I imagine engineering as being about following a particular process and doing things in a very cautious and structured way, where programming is normally way more chaotic.

Programmers mostly aren't really engineers and that's ok. I don't want to be an engineer.

I would expect him to run against Biden in the democratic primary and not pursue the office as an independent if he lost, like Bernie did.

I'd vote for him
