at a lot of places tips are split between front and back of house and those tips are based on the price of the meal, not the “tip” that was given. This results in many servers losing money and having to pay coworkers out of their own pocket on big groups or expensive bills that either don’t tip at all or only tip something like 10%.

I’m not advocating for this system at all, I just wanted to share some more info on how/why tipping works the way it does (in the US at least).

I saw someone on Lemmy recommend Backpack Battles yesterday, its pretty simple to pick up but takes a bit of thinking to start to optimize. I played a couple hours and had a lot of fun.

I think anyone who knowingly fires rockets into civilian populations should be held to account for their war crimes. I am pro-peace.

I also believe any people, if backed into a tight enough corner, will retaliate by any means they deem necessary. I do not blame them for their actions but I also do not condone nor support them, and if they kill civilians should be held to account for their war crimes. I am still pro-peace.

I can’t help but to think about the mental gymnastics required to support Ukraine while screaming about how Palastine is actually evil and needs to be stopped. Do they honestly think Ukraine hasn’t killed Russian civilians during the war? War is messy and when your options are to fight or face annihilation the answer is always the same, and it’s always messy.
