What I have learned to say is "I understand this is new and confusing; however, don't stress out, I was probably more confused than you are when I first learned this." It throws them off a bit, because they think you're the expert, and it clicks that you had to learn it too. If they probe deeper into why it was hard for me, I explain that I'm so used to how things are supposed to work, I have to step back and see how things can work.

I'd say they have been doing it longer or are familiar with the underlying knowledgebase, so it seems to come easily to them.

Someone who has never used a modern computer before will think that someone who has been learning and adapting since Windows 3.1 would look like a genius. Even if all they know is how to do basic tasks and navigation.

Forgetting everything that's happened so far, and taking that statement at face value... That is exactly how things should have always worked...

Make *****, get eXpOsUrE. How in the hell did the internet turn into we pay for access; we use it to socialize, share art, ideas, answers, make connections. And now they are not only making money selling our data, but we're expected to pay for their crap content they scraped from our own data?

I think you forgot a crucial step... Bots steal actual content, then direct other bots to down vote and report said original content, and then direct said bots to upvote the stolen content.

No. I am willing to ignore a lot of idiotic crap on the internet. But no, you cannot compare literal lives lost to a stupid Reddit bot.

LMFAO, I didn't even see what community this was in. I thought I was in one of the many reddit, migration, or tech subs. This was an amazing shower thought!

I think only mod specific bots were immune. As idiotic as Reddit has been, it might still be running, but, how will it remind those of us that erased all comments and then deleted our accounts? I have a feeling that wasn't an official bot, so it was probably programed correctly so it won't spam them with replys to deleted accounts 😢

Onwards and upwards! Sync will rise from the reddit ashes soon!

It always nice when the trash takes itself out.

Servers are paid a sub-minimum wage, as tips are supposed to round out their wages. When I wanted tables my paycheck barely covered the taxes on my cash and credit card tips.

You will want to tip 15-25%wheb you are dining at a sit down restaurant. If you are at a counter service buisness or café, you should only tip of they went out of their way to make your experience amazing. If you will be staying at hotels, you should tip bellmen $3-$5 per bag, concierge 5-10% of what they have procured for you. Cab's, Ubers, or any car service 10-20% (I usually do a minimum of $5 here.) if you get asked for a tip on any self-service screen, just deny it, that's a cash grab for the business owner. You can offer a tip to any employee you want if they go out of their way for you, however outside the service industry, employers will direct the staff to politely refuse.

 

I just wiped and deleted all my Reddit accounts. Lemmy is my new online home.
