Naw, I'd probably still tip 20%. People who are shit at their jobs still gotta pay rent, utilities, buy food and some recreation and all that. You'd have to be downright rude to me to lose a tip.

Resistance is fertile

I always tip 20% tip wait staff regardless of service unless it was incredibly poor, but I simply haven't had terrible service in around a decade.

Businesses should pay their fucking workers, but until then, I feel it's only right to help them make sure they have a decent wage.

Be the change you want to see and buy me a bike. The government and fossil fuels industry won't make changes to the infrastructure that enables and protects their investments until they see a critical mass of unarmed cyclists, at which point they'll throw their hands up in the air with a wimpy utterance, "Aww man! Shucks!", press a button, and poof! Bike lanes everywhere and SUVs 2/3rds their current size. People will magically work within 5 miles of their home and no need or service will be further than that either.

So quit your winning, quit being a bum, be the change you want to see and buy me an e-bike!

Oh there's gonna be a fifth season? Kick ass! Lower Decks is great and I love living in a world with two simultaneously airing great Trek shows!

I'd love to be able to bike to work, or the grocery store or anything else, really, but the infrastructure here really doesn't permit that. There are a few shops within walking distance and I make a point to buy things there, even if they're a little more expensive and while I may be able to speed up those trips with an e-bike, it's probably far less environmental impact for me to just use my two legs.

Even if I COULD bike for these trips... I'd just get a dang bicycle. No need to make further waste and use rare earth minerals by getting an e-bike. Plus, far cheaper to buy and maintain.

Aww that's sweet of you to say! It's often such thankless work, so it's nice to be appreciated.

Oooh nice! A surveillance device that also functions as a gateway to endless ads AND a "please bully me!" sign.

I reckon a lotta these pricks are gonna get tripped and smash their expensive spywear and I ain't crying about that.
