You theoretically could make the cash tips just disappear. The computer where I work guesses based on a rolling average of your card tips and it’s usually pretty close. Which suggests to me that if anyone went snooping they could key in to the statistical anomaly of your curiously low cash tips rather easily. At the end of the day you’re rolling the dice.

Personally I do report, partially because I don’t want to piss off the IRS if they ever do take an interest in me but mostly because I don’t qualify for housing assistance even without reporting them and nobody will rent to me unless I do report them because, get this, I don’t earn an extra $3 for every $1 the rent goes up, especially not in wages. I am actually kind of jealous of apparently everyone else in the industry who somehow get approved for apartments despite making half of what they’re supposed to on paper

Well now I really don’t see what he could have possibly done wrong

That’s the guy who does those funny little cubicle comics, right? I don’t see what he could possibly do wrong.

Lol that’s way beyond dieting

My only agenda here is reminding y’all that all of this could have been avoided. I’m sorry there wasn’t a better party than the Dems. I truly am. But what the fuck are you gonna do about it? How does abstaining from voting further that goal?

Where are all of y’all dumb motherfuckers that were going on about how the two party system is rigged and you wanted RCV, and therefore you couldn’t vote for Democrats because they weren’t adequately enthused about the idea

Where the fuck are you bitches

Do the dolphins aim the pee fountain into the whale urine funnel?

Why would the poors join up if their families didn’t need Tricare? The bennies are a primary draw, they can’t hand that shit out to everyone

You might not see this, but someone else will: Neoliberalism has a definition, and it’s not “fake leftist.” When you find yourself calling Bernie Sanders, of all people, a neoliberal for advocating for voting for a neoliberal in an election against a fascist you need to take a step back and seriously ask yourself if you are lost in the sauce. If you do not know your enemy you will struggle to fight them.

“Everyone is a neoliberal except me”

If you can’t properly identify ideology how can you expect to have meaningful conversations about it?

without looking it up what is neoliberalism and how is it different from social democracy or, indeed, liberalism?

And if he does? Preferring a neoliberal to a fascist does not make one a neoliberal, especially if a neoliberal has a better shot at preventing a fascist from gaining office than a leftist. Bernie is a social democrat and a pragmatist, and if that’s not left enough for you than say that, but don’t get your ideologies confused.

everyone is a neoliberal except me

That one has seven names attached to it

What are they gonna do about it?

I know a guy who did a 180 in the first month. Of course he never likes to remember that he was spreading conspiracy theories about Harris, or calling Trump “the devil [he knew].” He just knows he’s watching his crypto gains vanish into thin air.

The government’s argument that it’s unreasonable to expect them to be able to get him back in a timely manner calls into question what they were thinking when they started the practice in the first place.

I mean, obviously it’s evil and they’re evil. But did they seriously never consider that they might fuck it up at some point and have to try to take someone back? They’re denying people due process, of course they were going to fuck it up at some point. That’s kind of the point of what they’re doing, is carrying out injustice. Then again, what do they care for morality? And when the king commands it, is it really illegal?

I’m a waiter, I’m definitely stuck here.

I don’t have a PhD but I do hate light pollution. And while I’m too lazy to look up a source, I can offer an explanation, at least for one effect. Shitty outdoor lighting produces a lot of glare. Meaning if you’re on a path that is lit with very bright lights, especially if you can see the bulb directly, your eyes won’t adapt to the lower light and anything in shadow becomes invisible. Pools of darkness in brightly lit areas are a terrific place to hide.

Anecdotally, problem people are also afraid of the dark. There’s a park near my house that serves as a shortcut between two streets. It has two paths. One is a brightly lit paved walkway next to the baseball diamonds, and the other is an unlit service road. I usually take the unlit path because glare tends to give me headaches. I have seen more sketchy shit happen on the brightly lit path from afar than I have ever seen on the dark path.

I don’t understand what you could possibly mean by this comment. We, as in the American electorate, directly chose fascism. What the fuck do you mean that we will see it soon enough? We didn’t take the path you say also leads there eventually, the only way to tell where it leads is theory. We are never going to see the real world impacts of the choice we did not make.
