Yeah, it's happened to me a couple of times.

I worked in food service and retail for a long time, not tipped. The idea that I have to leave a tip for putting my stuff in a bag and handing it to me is ludicrous to me. Employers can pay less because they can tell new hires they get tips.

Business owners need to pay their damn employees and stop using the registers to beg customers for more money.

Just wait until you get a tip prompt on a self-checkout kiosk.

And then have the media (Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest especially) tell everybody that yes, tipping everybody everywhere is the new normal and we need to get used to it.

I've gotten into so many arguments on Facebook with people who tip their mechanics and doctors. People are eating this shit up.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But within the Linux community, the majority seem to prefer Android since it's based on Linux specifically, and it's not Apple. I also like macOS partly because of its BSD heritage.

Yeah, I personally prefer SSH for this task, and I also like that it works with both Linux and Mac wirelessly.

Say what you will, but this article actually does a pretty good job summing up why I don't want to switch back to Android after trying my first iPhone. As a longtime Linux user, I naturally thought I'd be using Android for the foreseeable future, since it's Linux under the hood.

One of my friends got her first iPhone, and she talked me into giving it a try, and while I was lost for a while, I was quickly blown away by how much better everything worked. And knowing that I'll get the latest software the same day as every other iPhone user, for at least five years, is pretty awesome.

Android could be a great thing, but manufacturers rely way too heavily on proprietary modifications to both the UI and drivers and have no incentive to provide updates for as long as Apple does, because they want you to buy a new phone. The fragmentation among Android manufacturers is real too. I don't want to have to root my phone and reflash the OS just to get a usable phone either.

Look, I know tons of people on the Internet are like "lol apple sux" but there is truth to this article. If you love Android, or flashing a custom OS, I'm certainly not going to tell you you're wrong. It's just not my cup of tea anymore.

I was responding to all the people who said "just use a fake email," bub...

Have you tried reading all the stuff below the email field?

I think the point of this post is all the stuff below the email field. Yikes.

Blows my mind how many conservatives think net neutrality is a bad thing just because the TV told them it's bad.

None of them can even tell me what the hell net neutrality even is.
