Just a social norm. Allegedly keeps the water cleaner with less hair and detritus. However, you’re still expected to wear one if you’re bald. I certainly didn’t agree with it. I think it’s more important just to shower up before swimming.

When I visited Spain, they wouldn’t let you swim in the hotel pools unless you had a cap.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 4 weeks ago:
Sorry, I should have said living wage. Like what an actual minimum wage should be, calculated based on the average cost of basic necessities. (Food, housing etc…) With geography included. Pretty basic stuff. Like how the minimum wage in CA is 16.50$? Of course some servers would be upset - if you’re valet or a server at a fine dining restaurant you’re making significantly more than a server at a working class chain for doing essentially the same job. That’s dumb. Also, I’d posit there are a lot more people against tips than for tips, which makes legislation a possibility.
How/why would inflation be out of control? The cooks don’t get tips, the managers don’t get tips, the dishwashers don’t get tips. They’re paid a wage. Some restaurants in the US already do this. I have one near me.
I do know what the server’s wage is where I live - It’s $2.83/hour, with a maximum tip cover of $4.42 to bring to minimum wage, which isn’t even close to a liveable wage, since minimum wage hasn’t been adjusted since '09 and it was too low then. Plus they have no health insurance or other benefits (average cost is $9k for solo/$25k for families).
I’m not inclined to tip when I visit Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Switzerland, Denmark etc… because their servers make liveable wages and they have healthcare and other benefits provided by their governments.

I’m an American and I hate tipping culture. I don’t believe your solution to getting rid of tipping culture is viable. I think we collectively as a culture would need to agree not to tip, which isn’t going to happen. A much easier way would be through legislation and forcing employers to pay fair wages. I don’t think customers would be inclined to tip someone making a fair wage. If this thread and hundreds like them on Lemmy and Reddit are any indication, people are generally guilted into tipping because wait staff makes $2/hour or whatever in the states.

I disagree. You’d have to organize a national movement with a majority of the relevant population onboard. Can’t even get people to vote. Good luck.

Unpopular opinion, but I got used to eating hot dogs growing up with regular sliced bread and I might even prefer it. The bun/dog ratio is good. However, I know it’s more bread and is contradictory, but Danish hot dogs are my favorite.

I think they just failed. The Wachowskis aren’t writing or directing.

I truly believe Resurrections was a purposeful flop to demonetize/kill the series to prevent WB making additional sequels or maybe remakes.

- Comment on What TV series suffered by introducing an unnecessary romance between characters? And in the reverse, are there any TV series that suffered by NOT introducing a romance between two characters? 5 months ago:
Community with Troy and Britta and Annie and Jeff. After Dan Harmon was fired and replaced by David Guarascio and Moses Port, they decided to ruin the show in season 4 with awful writing and character choices (probably at the behest of the network). This included a sudden nonsensical Britta and Troy relationship and weird romantic stuff with Annie and Jeff in one episode, which may have been the worst Community episode imo. The whole of season 4 mostly sucked with just a couple of bright spots. Fortunately Harmon came back on board, righted the ship and wrote 2 more enjoyable seasons.

I’m sorry this happened to you. It seems to keep getting worse.

If it’s getting bad, use it to do a deep clean on your pans. Let the half lemon soak in the pan and scrub with the rind.

I wanted to like it. I used it for couch co-op a handful of times but always had so many issues. After troubleshooting it for the 10th time, it became ewaste and I just setup chairs next to my small computer monitor. It’s a shame.
