I've heard cases of rejected prompts, or glitched ones, but which count against the limit you can have, in the context of AI. I haven't bought any AI services like that, but I know of the idea.

Assume that one did pay for it in this thought exercise. And assume the issue is on their end not your end such as asking it to do something wrong like request a deepfake of a celebrity or someone else.

Service charges are in no way any kind of substitute.

People somehow get it in their heads that a service charge that is the rate tipping once might have been (often 20%) is a solution or consequence of getting rid of tipping, and I mean getting rid of it, zero exceptions allowed. Not even legal to accept a tip if offered.

There are a number of reasons why this is incorrect. For one thing, you do not raise prices anything like X% in order to get enough money to change the pay of employees. Employees do not serve just one customer in an hour and any increase in pay necessary to pay them more remuneration is distributed over all the revenue the enterprise gets. They are supposed to be paid out of the common bank account of the enterprise, whatever the revenue or revenue per bill is. That is what a wage or salary inherently is.

Also, a service charge, tax, or any other fee for that matter which might be part of this (such as the ones related to compliance with some particular regulation or paying for health insurance or whatever other madness someone does), makes comparison shopping much harder to do. You are supposed to be able to know what one would pay even before getting in the shop, given menus and price lists are not secret, and in fact many places advertise what the price of something would be in advance. You know what other places charge in comparison, and competition will limit the degree anyone can raise a price. It can be so limiting in fact that it can make it impossible to fully offload the cost increase of employee pay to customers and can mean they have to save money internally like the profit margin or not redecorating something just to keep up with some fad. It isn't legitimate to have these as separate expenses delineated, the price you owe them is to be the entire cost of what you had bought and no more and no less.

This, ironically, is one thing gas stations have going for them, the price you see is the only amount you ever pay them, and also accounts for any amount of work done by an employee if you live in New Jersey or the Pacific Northwest where you literally can't pump your own gasoline.

This is also one benefit of bringing cash in small denominations. You can much more easily reject a service charge or other fee from any place which dishonestly imposes them. You can give them what you genuinely owe and leave immediately and there is nothing they can do about it.

I am getting better at it, and I've had an interest in chess ever since I was a little kid and I first played it on Chess Titans, somewhat decent at it by the time I was ten, then I rediscovered an interest in it last year's January. It helps that I can play against computer bots that do not care at all what time it is, how often I play, or what else is going on, but it still leads to problems. Especially if any takeback system ceases to work at stalemates. This is already a difficult game to master, websites don't need to make it arbitrarily harder.

There is a video parodying tip inflation where two people, at least one of whom is a woman and i think both are, who get some bill to pay after they are done, and they get a card reader from the server. They feel somewhat annoyed with the options seeming to be higher, but then they scroll over and see even higher options. They scroll again and get even higher options. Eventually they get the option to give an organ. Throughout the scrolling they talk about the typical things about tips and whether they have given enough or if it is out of control. Find the video.

He needs millions of people to combine their efforts in order to be forgiven over the seventh commandment.

Oh please, they're a modern country just like the others. The proletariat go to jail and the rich get mansions.

Assuming someone is not a denialist of the genocide, and is at least moderately familiar with the idea, one of the first things they probably will bring up is the use of poisonous gas, although often people don't think to cite the gas vans as well (I guess it technically isn't poison but an asphyxiant, same result either way).

Upon closer reflection though, why did such a large part of the memory of it come to be characterized by this method? When people usually discuss genocides in general, such as the Armenian one, it usually seems to take some time before someone brings up the specific methods of it, often starvation and bands of troops or militia gathering up who they can in a given town and shooting them en masse. They often talk more about the way that the perpetrators had some kind of hatred or fear or other alienation from the victims, the desire to get rich by stealing their things, or the way such prejudice had taken simmering.

The only idea I have in mind is the way poison gas became so notorious in general in the First World War that made it relatively easy to see the Second World War's use of gas in this way more of a horror to tell people back home as something they might be more familiar with.
