All your explanation is neat and all, but I'm going to stop engaging. You're refuting/attacking points that are systemically related to what I'm talking about, but aren't actual values I hold, nor have I indicated I hold them. I will however address 2 things you said, just for fun:

I believe you didn't intend to. I also believe a lot of those who upvoted you totally think you did.

Argue with them when they comment with incorrect interpretations then? Why are you arguing with me about how my (in my opinion) incredibly clear non-endorsement of a system could have been interpreted by some people that left upvotes?

It is bad. Destroying families bad.

Yes? Again, nominally I agree with everything you've said, you just dont understand the north american tipping system, or that saying "how it works" is not the same as saying "how this good and well designed system functions"

Oh and for what it's worth, I promise you that the upvotes on my comment in fucking 196 weren't because of some imagined endorsement for tipping culture or capitalism (again, we're in 196). They were most likely because you are being truly insufferable.

Hey, for what it's worth, I appreciate your efforts to remain nice with an insufferable old man yelling at clouds. Thanks 🙏

And I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing, this stuff is actually being read by more people than we know. Correctness matters. Even if that makes me beyond annoying to you.

I hope you have a great day and I wish you all the best. 🙂
