It's worth pointing out that feeling like you work in a pointless, meaningless job doesn't necessarily make it true. This paper is solely about people's perceptions, not facts.

A light breeze is enough for Google to lock accounts, and they make it nearly impossible to re-access. And they have no reliable customer service you can call or email.

But the final straw for me was when they started this bullshit of saying "tell me your phone number so we can make sure it's you". They never had my number in the first place, so it was clear that this was pure bullshit of them trying to associate real world identities with their accounts.

After that, I said "fuck em", changed to other providers, and haven't look back since.

Go ahead and delete my accounts - your service is pure garbage anyway.

You won't find that level of detail in typical articles, because they are intended for the general public and are intended to be an overview that a layman can comprehend.

However, the paper itself, which the article links to, has more detail including deformation testing.

This entire topic is about shortening the work week without any loss in pay.

Have you not been reading articles on this topic? Yes, we are talking about a 32 hour work week with no loss in pay.

Changes have to be made in the pay scale first, and then we can remove tipping...

I understand what you're saying, but that's just not how things work. As long as tipping is the norm, that pay scale will never change.

The only way it will change is if tipping stops and restaurants find themselves with no staff because they can no longer hire anyone for $2/hour.

Sometimes, communal sacrifice is the only way to get bad practices to change. I agree with you that it hurts, but the simple fact is that restaurants will not stop underpaying staff unless they are forced to.

And attempts to put this into law was fought by the servers themselves because enough of them make more money off of tips than they would from a straight salary.

So it's just not going to happen unless society forces their hand by saying "no, this is ridiculous" and stops paying extra for everything.

It shows 5 if you scan w14.monkrus.ws.

And this is Quttera's analysis here:

Whether there is a real problem or not, it might be something the monkrus admins want to look into in order to address it.

But if anyone else has a better understanding of what's going on with their site, I'd love to hear it and it's probably good information for the rest of this sub.

That's an excellent point and very true.

Who actually gives a fuck?

A lot of people do.

What Reddit has done and is doing is very big news due to their size and the role they play on the internet. Just because you have a teenager's snarky "who cares" attitude doesn't mean that this isn't important to a large portion of the online population, including many of the people who left reddit and came here.

You and everyone else in the fediverse needs to stop with this fanaticism that anything centralized is automatically a bad thing.

A number of years ago, they stopped recommending and teaching tourniquets because they were concerned about people losing limbs unnecessarily if tourniquets were to be applied unnecessarily.

However, then the Boston Marathon bombing occurred and the California nightclub shooting and they realized that they had made a tragic mistake because a lot of people lost their lives when they could have been saved.

So now, tourniquets are once again recommended and taught.

This is not reddit... Lol

You know what, reddit was filled with people who got upset when others tried to help them improve. Let's not take that with us here.

I, for one, am grateful when others point out a mistake because it helps me to become better. That's the mentality we should encourage here.
