Who keeps deflecting them?!

They needed a bulldozer to take down a few tents? They couldn’t just hire a few folks to deconstruct the area? What the fuck.

The last person in the kitchen.

Estradiol is a pill I take twice daily. It is hormone therapy to make me more feminine (I’m a transgender woman). The side effect is it makes me really happy about myself and life. Chronic depression is a thing of the past.

My estradiol alarm. Starting the day has never felt so good.

Absolutely there’s a minimum, but it all hinges on how their service was. All I’m saying is if you’re in the service industry, you’re on stage and I’m going to judge how you perform. The actual food has very little to do with it.

Only once did I leave a waitress a single dollar, mainly because she couldn’t get my order right and wouldn’t take the food back for the correct order. When asked why, she said she didn’t care because her shift ended 15 minutes ago. If she doesn’t care, well, neither do I. It’s a two-way street.

Actually, I have: line cook, prep cook, server, and dishwasher. I know my way around the kitchen, both at home and in a commercial environment.

When I say presentation (you’re thinking of plating the food), I’m talking about how a server would present food, drink, and other accoutrement to guests, including how well they dress, cleanliness, even grace. It all matters. Presentation is the server’s main responsibility, including front end representation for the backend. Have you worked in the industry?

I’m going to assume you are referring to the food quality being part of the tip. While the server isn’t directly responsible for that, their presentation and delivery of the order, as well as attitude and reaction to what I might send back and the resolution thereof, is. If they go out of their way to make me happy, for better or worse, they did their job correctly and deserve the tip.

I am a big believer in tipping and always tip the same way: I start at 18-20% and go down from there, based on service, friendliness, and food quality.

That said, I go out a lot less post-Covid, as the quality of the experience isn’t what it used to be. I tend to stick to poke and sushi nowadays, as it tends to be fresher and the service better.

Maybe filter it first through a Brita or similar water purifier? I’m lazy and just been buying distilled water off the shelf because my well water isn’t so hot and I don’t feel like replacing four humidifiers every year. The buildup is gross.

So much for freedom of speech. This is the beginning of the end.

This isn’t news. There’s wars going on, corruption in the U.S. government, LA’s in a literal firestorm, and… this? By the way, it happened last week, no one cared then, certainly don’t give a fuck now.

It’s like George Orwell was a prophet.

Antiques Roadshow.

Maybe it just sounds like you’re advocating for Reddit posts because your Lemmy feed isn’t congested with trash. And, who’s checking reddit every two seconds? Not this cookie.

Also, on a personal level, I found most of the trans communities on Reddit cringeworthy and deplorable. It’s a major factor why I left. I find people here more intelligent and open-minded, regardless of the lack of content.

I think most of us know why we’re here.

I don’t know, I burned that bridge for a reason, mainly Spez and the whole API debacle (RIP Reddit is Fun). I also don’t want to contribute to sending traffic to Reddit nor pulling posts from it.

I also don’t use X nor Instagram. If Lemmy becomes like that, I’m gonna make like a tree and fuck off.
