  • David Hansson is absolutely a racist xenophobic piece of shit.

    Yeah, that’s what a Nazi is. Acting like it’s not akin to Nazism is what’s actually pissing on the graves of people who died in the war. “Erm, actually someone is only a Nazi if they were a member of the National Socialist Party in Germany during WWII” is doing them a favor. Don’t let them hide.

    Coming from someone who was raised in the southeast US, a huge part of the Lost Cause of the South movement wasn’t to erase what the Confederacy did, but to just paint them in a slightly more positive light. Rebranding, so to speak. Acting like some specific breed of ultranationalism isn’t technically “a Nazi” is just the same shit. In the minds of many people that live near me, there is absolutely nothing odd about celebrating under the world’s largest Confederate monument with fireworks. Despite the fact that it was finished in response to Brown v. Board of Education. Despite the fact that Stone Mountain has historically been and still is associated with the literal KKK. It’s the same shit.

    Being pedantic about the terms helps them.







  • Gosh. I remember working with this back in 2019 and earlier. Our legacy products ran on it. I remember a new service we made (before Spring Boot really took off) used TomCat. It was so much easier to mess with. I asked why we don’t use that for our main product. Imagine my surprise when they said we actually used to.

    I’m sure they had their reasons, I was a younger dev at the time and didn’t have insight into why they changed it. But still. Everything is so simple now. Java to run your jar. Your jar has your server built in. Done. And that’s not even including containerization.

    I do miss Jenkins though. GitHub Actions seems to be the new hotness. Maybe I just don’t have the muscle memory yet, but it can be annoying.







  • Here’s the thing, you say stuff like this,

    Naw fuck that. They get tipped what they earned. If it’s 5$. If it’s 30$. It in the rare case, 0. You don’t deserve a tip unless you provide the service to go with it. If I see you once or twice, and I have dirty dishes and have to call over another wait staff to refill drinks. Get fucked.

    totally unprompted, because nobody here ever suggested that someone always receives a 20% tip regardless of the level of service. But when you follow it up with things like this,

    Nope if you read my comments I never said I love to pay nothing. What I said specifically was that if the waiter or waitress is an ass then they get nothing.

    It certainly sounds like you enjoy tipping nothing. It reminds me of the way people get excited about revenge/vigilante fantasies, where people get so excited to see someone who has done something wrong suffer. You definitely sound excited to talk about how a lazy server who ignores you is going to get no money and how the other server who did will get their tip instead. (Which, as an aside, is fine, nobody suggested people who don’t serve well should get a 20% tip.)

    Tipping is not a right tipping is not required tipping is not something that I have to do tipping is not something I need to do.

    Nobody is compelling you to tip, but just totally choosing to ignore the societal standards of how wait staff are compensated by throwing a tantrum is so weird, because you do say you tip. So I guess the real question is, who hurt you?? lol. Did you have some sort of life altering experience with a server that was so bad that you can’t help but point out that bad servers exist and don’t deserve tips??





  • The standard is 20%. That means average service (from a bell curve perspective) is worth 20% of your subtotal. That’s what society has agreed on. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, I dislike how servers are compensated as well, but it’s the reality we live in.

    Saying that “20% isn’t appropriate” and insisting it’s instead “what is earned,” when nobody but yourself suggested it, is just odd behavior that makes you sound cheap. Everybody knows tips are earned. When someone says a 20% tip is standard they aren’t saying you must leave a 20% tip even if the service was awful.
