Uhhh, so they did their job? I had to make 30+ delivery orders a day, some of them with over 50 items. NO TIPS because it was my job to do that and make sure everything the customer paid for is in the bag.

This new restaurant opened up behind my house and the food is amazing according to reviews.
First time we go in, we order at the front, PAY, then wait for our food.
I’ve never been here, why would i tip you BEFORE i get my food? I left no tip on the pinpad and gave them cash when we left. But the whole premise of tipping BEFORE a service is something rich people do to get better treatment at a country club or spa, not when we are buying food.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 2 weeks ago:
I personally don’t like soundbars so i go with an AV setup with 5.1 speakers for now. I got my AV recievers on nextdoor, craigslist, ebay, etc. I get them used because people constantly upgrade and i was able to get really nice Onkyo, Denon, and Pioneer AV receivers for under $80 each. Then i got REALLY lucky and found some Definitive Technology studio monitors at goodwill for $5 each and a center KLH platinum center speaker for $4. I found my other surround speakers in my attic from past friends and they are Sony or Bose. But best buy open box and outlet stores are your best bet for subwoofers and front speakers as they can be 30-40% off and still new with warranty. Monolith/Monoprice also makes some decent quality speakers and i love mine.

I spent months on Rtings looking up ratings, pricing, checking out tv sub’s and i came to the conclusion that you have 2 options.
-
spend $1500+ and get a Sony TV, the model doesn’t really matter as they are all better than their counterparts. I wanted MiniLED- but they were about $2,000.
-
Go the budget route and get a Hisense/TCL TV for $600-800 and use the other $1000 you saved for a home theatre system/ 4k player, etc.
I have a TCL 6 series Mini LED and love it. It has Dolby Vision, little glare, and it’s bright AF (not sure of the NIT rating). I also have a hisense U75 series mini LED and the picture quality is fantastic. The OS is buggy and it freezes, crashes every month or so. But both my TCL and Hisense have buggy OS’s and freeze randomly, just the cost of a cheaper TV.
I didn’t have my TCL hooked up to the internet for a couple years and used my computer for everything. Then i realized my computer cannot process 4k with HDR, so i connected them to the internet and set up Plex and they both look fantastic with 4k HDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision.
Their build in speakers are the worst i have ever heard, even the Hisense with it’s supposed 2.1 speaker setup, they both sound horrible and you WILL need a good AV home theatre setup, or at the very least, a good quality soundbar.

- Comment on Chairman Comer Invites CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit to Testify on Radicalization of Online Forum Users - United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is not a normal thing to do and clearly another way to try and make anyone who isn’t MAGA, look like a criminal.
I’m sure they will find the majority of the hate speech is from right wing extremists, but then they will not post the research, or they will do their best to hide it from public view.
The administration has zero intention of being honest and helping society, so i really hope none of these CEO’s do anything to coddle the crybabies in office. Let them cry themselves to sleep.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 2 weeks ago:
Nope, if you talk to anyone on the right currently, everything the administration is doing right now is fine and they have broken no laws.
Oh the democrats have done much worse. When i ask them what things democrats have done that are close to what republicans do, they always bring up forcing kids to become trans or giving them hormones in school.
People really are that out of touch with reality.

I’ve been meaning to mod my Wii U, but i never play it, so it’s been on the backburner. I heard it’s almost as easy as modding the Wii.

This is so disgusting when you realize the amount of criminals at that table and they are all against us.
Also notice how the word “innovation” is used so often with these tech idiots? It’s a way to cover up all the sinister stuff they are doing to us while they give you more brain rot apps to harvest your data from.
This is a dictatorship, thanks republicans. The last nail in the coffin is being driven in.
- Comment on A conundrum 4 weeks ago:
You can’t even get an apartment here without making a ton of money. Cheapest studio apartment here is $1,500 a month. I have to prove i make $4,500 a month just to barely qualify, which i don’t. Then they charge you so much for application fees, and then utilities they overcharge for, it’s all a scam.

Yeah, they are doing their best to hide donny and their buddies from being outed on national television. I mean we all already know he is a pedophile and it’s been proven in court, but his base will need it to come from his mouth. Which means nothing will change and MAGA will be the downfall of america.
- Comment on Americans have the gun industry so far up their ass that they don't even notice their asshole is gaping. There is no other country where uneducated morons are allowed access to guns easily. 4 weeks ago:
If you were every heavily involved in the gun community, everything the president is doing, they agree with. They only care about non republicans coming after them, they don’t care if it’s their own team hurting them.
I don’t miss those assholes or the hoops they had to jump around to convince themselves they weren’t huge hypocrites.
Also many of them drink and carry, which is a felony.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 4 weeks ago:
Probably depression, online dating ruining the entire dating world, and the economy sucking.
I remember growing up, you could go to a bar with friends, meet some people and there was always someone hooking up quickly. Or you grabbed a phone number and you were good for later.
Now it’s more “are you 6 foot tall?” “do you make six figures?” “what’s your snap or insta?” “are you a racist nazi that will murder me in my sleep?”
Then they can always say, ehhh, your not attractive enough for me, i’ll go on tinder and DM one of the 60 guys waiting for me. BYEEEEEEEE
