I miss the days when the waiter or waitress would give you some privacy after dropping off the check, allowing you to decide things like how you’re paying (cash or credit card), which card to use, and how much you want to tip.

Now, everything feels rushed because the waiter or waitress stands directly over you, holding the POS terminal. They purposely don’t let go because they want you to make a quick tip decision based on their predetermined options: 18% = OK SERVICE, 20% = GOOD SERVICE, or 23% = GREAT SERVICE.

They don’t want you to have the time or privacy to customize the tip. It’s basic pressure dynamics, and it’s on full display.

So, if you find it difficult to ask the waiter or waitress to leave the POS terminal with you, I think the easiest thing to do is simply say, “I’m paying the tip in cash.” That way, they know you’ll need to select “No Tip” on the POS terminal. You can then tap your card for the regular bill, and the waiter or waitress will walk away.

Now you have the privacy to leave a cash tip for as much or as little as you want, without being pressured by the percentages on the screen.

Preferably 15%. I’ve never understood how everyone suddenly decided that 20% is the new norm.

Any other way you guys handle that situation without feeling like you’re being rude?

It’s amazing that there’s always one of the Kardashians at a major sporting event. And it’s never because they truly like the sport. They’re only there because of the man they’re with. That makes the Kardashians tag-a-longs! They’re like TOFU and take the flavor of the guy they’re with. Kim did it with Kanye by absorbing his fashion taste. She has poor taste before him. Kylie was never seen at basketball games until dating Tim, and now she’s at the World Cup Final because of him. They’re TOFU

Sony is clearly trying to move away from physical media. But what if they waited and got rid of the disc drive and game discs for the PS7 instead (I’m guessing that would be around the year 2037)?

We can’t expect discs in 2037, right?

The bandaid clearly has to come off, but would it hurt less if they remove it for the PS7, or should discs never go away?

It has been confirmed that production for season 3 of The Last of Us is on a hiatus from June 1 to June 28 for reasons unknown. The news was confirmed through the official British Columbia directory for productions currently taking place.

It’s pretentious to insist on calling God “she.” Not because God is a man (that’s just as silly) but because the whole “God is a she” thing is so obviously forced. It’s not spiritual enlightenment. It’s not deep theology. It’s a linguistic stunt meant to make everyone else in the room notice how enlightened you think you are.

Using “He” for God isn’t about imagining some bearded sky‑dad with a Y chromosome. It’s the same as using “mankind” to mean “humanity.” Nobody hears “mankind” and thinks “only dudes.” Nobody hears “He” for God and imagines a literal male body. The capital H exists specifically to separate it from the everyday “he.”

The whole point is that God (if you believe in one) isn’t a person with pronouns. The anthropomorphism is already a metaphor. So flipping it to “she” just makes the metaphor louder and weirder and makes you sound like you’re giving theater-kid energy. Knock it off!
