The fuck? You don't have to pay people to attend a funeral...

Especially not with taxpayer money...

They don't have to be.

If they make more with tips, then they don't get to complain when somebody doesn't tip them.

plus the minimum 20% tax tip

Where are you eating that has a 20% minimum tip? I've only seen stuff like that for big groups.

You got a lot of people from the 'pro-tip' crowd glad to say "I make more with tips!" whenever someone suggest replacing tips with fair wages.

If they make more with tips, then they also have to deal with not getting tipped from people like me.

I never tip. Tipping culture should die.

Misleading title, the company must still pay its workers.

That blows.

I recommend watching Undone especially if you liked Bojack Horseman; it's created by the same guy.

You can stream it for free here: https://hydrahd.com/ or check out the c/piracy wiki for one that suits you.

Mushishi is fantastic.

Undone, it's created by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.

I think most people haven't seen/heard of it because it's an amazon streaming exclusive, but you can watch it (and most other things) for free here: https://hydrahd.com/

 

It seems like they're leaving a lot of money on the table. I don't think a significant number of people would jump ship if Twitch updated their policy to give 99% of donations directly to streamers while taking a 1% cut for themselves.

There might be some initial grumbling, but it would probably fizzle out in a week when people move on to other things.

Of course, there is no direct admittance of "we knew it would be cheaper to let them die."

Instead, they say "we had no legal obligation to rescue them." That's the answer for the people who were born yesterday.

Big oil truly is a disgusting thing.
