Up, down or in the middle?

Definitely not. He did the job he was asked to do, by Trump, during the pandemic. Remember “operation warp speed” was Trump’s crusade.

It is the doom of men that they forget.

How did you bounce back from Worf, stabbing you to death?

Lesser warriors would have slowed down at that point.

Are you referring to the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. I hope it is not free, ahead of schedule, of we’ve all be coping with a 0.75 inch rise in sea levels!

Think on

What are you talking ‘bout?

Those two love birds are head over heels!

Oh yea. Was wondering when you’d have nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a back on.

Please bring back the Du, Da Daa du-du, DA Da,.. Du, Da Daa du-du, original #wbd music (our boy) nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj

The hat, was stupid.

Brim, so wide her darling husband could not kiss her fair cheek.

And, you don’t wear a hat indoors!

Do you think Trump will encourage Musk to have a worse hairdo? 👱‍♂️

Relieved Trump is now a lame duck. He can’t run again, can’t campaign again. It is the beginning of the end of him. Relieved. Who is likely to succeed him, do you think?

Why is Raoul not on Nostr? Surely it is the blockchain decentralized future he keeps talking about? What “pill” do you call #nostr? If #bitcoin is #orangepill

At least this term he doesn’t need to worry about getting re-elected and fund raising, rallies and other BS. He can dedicate himself to helping the hard-working American people. Fight inflation, predatory pricing for medical and home insurance. He will be… the peoples’ President. That can be his legacy. Right…?

Thinking the “rapid unscheduled disassembly” of the SpaceX starship today… was Elon’s eye off the ball. Bigger things on his mind. Attention diluted?

Bullish as f**k!

Why Tipping Culture in America Undermines the Dining Experience:

Tipping culture in American restaurants fundamentally alters the way dining experiences are perceived and delivered. Rather than fostering a collective effort to create a seamless, enjoyable experience, it shifts the focus to individual performance. Here’s why this approach misses the mark:

1. Individualism Over Teamwork

When tips are the primary source of income for servers, their focus naturally becomes self-serving. This creates an attitude of “I did my part, so tip me accordingly,” even if the rest of the dining experience—food quality, ambiance, or overall service—was lacking. Instead of working as a cohesive team to ensure customer satisfaction, the responsibility is fragmented, with servers prioritizing their own actions over the bigger picture.

2. Disconnect Between Experience and Accountability

In a tipping-heavy culture, customers are often asked to evaluate only the server’s performance when deciding how much to tip. But dining out is a collective experience—great service cannot compensate for bad food, unpleasant decor, or a noisy environment. Yet servers may still expect a generous tip for their individual efforts, regardless of whether the restaurant as a whole delivered on its promises.

3. Unnecessary Pressure on Customers

Tipping places an unfair burden on customers. They’re asked to essentially pay a server’s wages in real time while also being the arbiter of their performance. This dynamic can be uncomfortable, particularly when servers aggressively hint at or expect high tips. Customers should be able to enjoy their meal without being made to feel like employers conducting a performance review.

4. Erosion of Hospitality Values

In many countries without tipping cultures, hospitality staff are paid fair wages and work collaboratively to create a welcoming and memorable experience. The focus is on the guest, not the server’s paycheck. In contrast, American tipping culture reduces the act of serving to a transactional interaction, undermining the genuine hospitality that makes dining out special.

5. It’s Just Bad Business

A restaurant’s success depends on the collective impression it leaves on its customers. Tipping culture misaligns incentives, creating an environment where servers are rewarded individually while the restaurant’s reputation as a whole can suffer. It’s a short-sighted system that doesn’t prioritize the long-term success of the establishment or the happiness of its patrons.

The Solution?

Paying fair wages to restaurant staff and eliminating tipping as a norm would align incentives, foster teamwork, and improve the dining experience. When everyone—chefs, servers, hosts, and managers—works together toward a shared goal of customer satisfaction, the result is a more cohesive and enjoyable experience for diners. It’s time for America to rethink tipping and adopt a more sustainable, equitable model.

Dining out should be about enjoying food, ambiance, and hospitality—not navigating an outdated, awkward system of performance-based gratuities.
