I know of HR lady that actually got fired for not telling people they were hired.
The job needed to fill a larger role; after interviews and such management was ready to hire someone…few weeks later management asks wondering when candidate starts. Turns out HR never told them they were hired.
Candidate already took another job.

It certainly shouldn’t be the default “pre-caluaclated” amount, but if I have a gift card or something, I’ll still tip based on the pre-discount.
Say the bill was $100 for a group of 4 and we use a $50 gift card, I’ll probably still tip the $20. Seems kinda scummy to only leave $10.
It’s a terrible system that exploits people. I can’t change the system, but I can do my part and tip someone fairly for the hour they’ve helped me out.

- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 5 weeks ago:
I’ve never had a problem with ads made in this way.
This form of “passive marketing” (I’m making up terms), I.e a poster on the street that you can easily walk past is fine. If your poster catches attention enough that people start sharing it because they liked it, the marketer has done a good job. In the internet space, I’d consider banner ads “passive”. If they actually filter out the scams and malware, and if someone wants to sponsor Rod’s Radical Recipes with a banner ad, who cares.
I do take issue with I’ll call active marketing. This is an ad you’re forced to engage with, like an unmutable gas pumps that’s playing audio, a commercial break or a pre-roll add If I’m getting something for free, then sure an add or two seems reasonable (well, 15 years ago it did), but I’m already paying for the gas, shut the fuck up and let me enjoy my 3 minutes of stress watching the numbers go up without some guy screaming about beef jerky.

Now the ads are 60sec? instead of 2.5min. Right now the time pressure to do your business is the hardest its ever been. Until they increase the ads again.

- Comment on The Batpoon's First Appearance: was World's Finest Comics #9 (March, 1943). This is from World's Finest Comics #163 (December, 1966) 1 month ago:
“No time to duck, but I did think this whole sentence. I could have dodged if I thought faster! Wait it still didn’t hit me? Is that thing in slow motion? I think its slower than a bullet. Thats funny, and what kinda name is Batpoon, its so silly. Should I call my strength “super strength”…oh wait, I d- OW I forgot to move!”
- Comment on Make it stop 1 month ago:
Really need some term limits and total service years. Pick your numbers, something but like 6 for congress, 4 for Governor, 20 max in public office.
Also their salary is based on their represented area. For a Congress representative, the national average is their base pay. If the area they represent is below average, a 30% of the difference is deducted. If it’s above average, 30% of the difference is added.
After 1 year, the percentage increases by 10 every year you’re in office.
So by year 6 if your doing a shit job your pay will be -90% the difference. If the national average is 50k, and your area is at 20k, the difference is 30k, 90% of that is 27K, so your salary is 50k-27k, which is 23K.

TBF, some of the edits are a step above of low-effort. And there’s a bit of creativity involved in coming up with the puns.
But, yeah they’re all annoying after the 3rd one, but it’ll blow over a week or so. All that will remain are obscure references about Sheeran sharing beans in jeans on a plane.

I can see an international trip costing money, either funded by participants or fundraiser.
Sounds like you had a cool time traveling, in the states your lucky if they have the funds to bus some kids to the public library
There were a lot of after school stuff that had travel, mainly sports and music. The foreign language dept sometimes was able to an abroad trip with like 7 students.
But the history class that wants to go to a museum can pound sand.
