I can’t see any news that you can ‘pay to remove ads’ but lots of “how do i remove ads in solitaire” with settings instructions or registry edits so i think op is only half right
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
i got curious and looks like PEGI is somewhat similar at least. The ISFE is a self-regulating/co-regulating (w/e that means) body. There seem to be some kinda independent audits but… Looks like they don’t audit so good, if this article is evidence

For people scratching their heads:
Cecil George Edwards
was getting arrested in Sydney for CC fraud in the 90s, it was recorded, and he was hilariously belligerent about it.
Mister, you just assured me that I could speak. Look, I’m under what? Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest. Have a look at the headlock here, see that chap over there? he- GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS! This is the bloke who got me on the penis people. Why did you do this to me, for what reason, what is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chinese meal? Oh, that’s a nice headlock sir, oh, ah yes, I see that you know your judo well. Good one. And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis? How dare – get your hands off me! Ta-ta, and farewell.
He died this year btw.
Farewell to a true King.

Yeah… You’ll find those types in every industry really, thoughtlessly accepting boss-mans self-serving lies… like if you’ve been working any length of time you see they’ll step over your corpse for a nickel but they are paying me less… for my benefit? This is for me? Maybe if it has ever seemed like any of my bosses cared that i was a human being with needs, but naw. Maybe i’m the weird one. Maybe im too prideful. Maybe im just untrusting in general . But im not wrong here, as a rule. Why would anyone believe they have our interests at heart when we live the way they treat us every day?
Answer? Lots n lots of people.

Ive written a couple other responses itt, now idunno where to start. is there anything in particular you’d like to ask? :)

We only had the drivers report credit card tips and cash was left alone
Where i worked mgmt claimed the irs would come after them and us if we didn’t claim our cash tips. I don’t know if that is true though since mgmt would come have a talk with you if your cash tips claimed were less than 10%. Even back then cash was such a small percentage of my daily sales that i didn’t really care bout it.
In only 10 years of experience i got to see the business change for the worse.
My first waiting job (at red lob in '97) was so so different from the last one i had in '10. In '97 there were no mandatory tip-outs. When i came back to the business in '04 i was shocked that i had to tip the bartender, the busser. I have since witnessed the restaurant business getting only worse. Expo/host tipouts, full pooling, you name it. One time i went to a restaurant where they shifted staff between front and back of house so everyone got 2.13/hr. Its only gotten more dire since i got out.
I don’t have personal experience with delivery but there is a guy i know who works for himself delivering wood. He would often get tipped even so, for doing a great job or placing the bundles exactly where the customer wanted. I’m just guessing but its kinda likely you’d have gotten those sweet tips even if your boss had paid you well.

See, I don’t need to think hypothetically. I lived it. This “you’ll akshually make more money this way” is simply untrue
- Comment on Anon creates a business plan 3 weeks ago:
If youre interested, id be happy to detail the realtities of waiting tables. Here’s a big one non-waiters don’t always know: all your tips are claimed these days. Your gross tips are taxed, after which your tips are split (either required tip-out % or full tip pooling) between the other staff.

Oh my God you guys you need to watch The Naked Man
I’m telling you it’s fucking hilarious. I swear. Look:
Estranged pharmacist’s son who is a savant at chiropractor by day/underground pro-wrestler by night goes on a murderous rampage to avenge his father’s murder at the hands of a quadriplegic pharmacutical ceo and his elvis impersonator bodyguard.
He uses his knowledge of wrestling and the human skeleton to commit devastating chiropractic attacks on his enemies.
He’s chased by a detective who’s a genius but also clinically depressed and…You must watch this movie. I’m not crazy! It’s amazing!
Please!

Yeah if the DNC really gave as much credence to the vote power of racism and misogyny as they do after election losses, then why would they deliberately step on that landmine by selecting kamala only 8 years after HRC? It’s not like we think idealistic dreamers run the DNC right? That’s silly

The term “algorithm” in this context is simply a convenient term hiding the intentionalright wing radicalization of users to push them towards pro-business policies and
I’m quite tired of “algorithm” standing in for the intentions behind the owners who write and maintain it.
It was also an “algorithm” that inflated rent around the country, right?
An algorithm, yes. Written with the intention of inflating rent.
It’s not an accident.

I actually heard a story (friend of a friend but whatever) where their American friend got oidashi beya’d and loved it so eventually the company did release him. I think it’s such an interesting cultural difference when japan and us work culture, in many ways similar has this huge difference.
I wonder if it’s more effective because of the mandatory after-work hangouts? I suppose if i were the work pariah that part would suck
