After enough people kept asking me how much to tip because I was working/worked as a delivery driver I created the following

Consider how much you don't want to go get it yourself. Put an actual dollar amount on that. If it's just a buck or two, bite the bullet and just go get it. Otherwise, tip that amount.

I think a lot of people $10 don't want to go get their own food when they're considering delivery.

d% is what I usually see

I always divide by two and round up for d3

No lizard?

Maybe Conn? They let Wesley do it

I don't know that I'd be thrilled with any of them as doctor honestly. I'd definitely take Mikey over Raph though. Your lineup is definitely superior.

Didn't I read this headline a few years ago?

Yes but he serves a different community

I found him but then he got deported and now I've got no idea where he might be

I think the two of you are having different arguments together.

You're saying it's a contributing factor and they're saying it's not the cause. Both of these things can be true.

We are taught in school that planes can fly because of the shape of the wing. That isn't necessarily true even if it does have influence. It can happen without the wing shape. It may happen more effectively with it, but that wasn't the claim.

You can both be right here.

It began with the forging of the Great Rings.

Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.

Seven to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls.

And nine...Nine rings were gifted to the Race of Men, who above all else desire power.

For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race.

But do you recall... The most famous one ring of all

This lacks a lot of nuance that is needed.

George Carlin, who I think is still widely regarded as one of the greats, had a "rape can be funny" bit that I doubt would fly today because a whole lot of us have a better understanding of how rape jokes harm victims. Doing harm to such a group is, or at least should, never the goal of a quality comedian. That's why they're not generally made by comedians except the "you just can't take a joke" type.

You can absolutely criticize without doing harm to open wounds. There's space between not being allowed to criticize and not being allowed to joke.

Maybe you need something like the more power a group has the more they need to be able to bear being the target of joking. That's why a white, Christian, American man is a far cleaner target.
