I got rid of Edge entirely on my Windows machine.

No you didn't.

Don't eat the onion.

That's not a good enough excuse to not treat them like the children they are, with compassion and empathy. Scare mongering helps exactly nobody.

Lacking anything close to empathy, every accusation of this narcissist is an admission.

LMAO. No. You can't convince an overconfident idiot with facts and experience.

[–] ElderWendigo 15 points 9 months ago

That's another good one.

That's a lot of mental gymnastics to blame the victim. Not cool.

Like every system? What's the actual distinction you're trying to point out?

I think the more nuanced take is that we should be making "piracy" legal by expanding and protecting fair use and rights to make personal copies. There are lots of things that are called piracy now that really shouldn't be. Making "piracy" legal still leaves plenty of room for artists to get paid.

Not originally, but this does sound like the kind of boundary pushing puny joke they'd make to make the straights slightly uncomfortable.

I don't think so.](https://youtu.be/lY2kC5fZG64?si=uPoB4wzgMdvy6e-J)

Many restaurants have started adding a "service charge" that is not a tip in addition to menu prices. It's super fucking shady. There is rarely an signage indicating the charge, relying of the hostesses to inform you. It isn't always clear on the itemized bill they hand you, since it's grouped down with the tax. It's not the standard gratuity added for large groups. There is a restaurant near me that suddenly started adding this kind of charge. They did not notify me when I sat down and I didn't see any indication of it on the itemized bill and only noticed when calculating the tip, after they'd run my card. I made a huge stink about it because it's a fucking scam and they did discount my bill, but they refused to remove the service charge. I liked their food, but that was the last time I visited and I stopped recommending them.
