No the ones i’m thinking of are sfw! It just happens to feature a body swap plot, and the characters that got body swapped are very different (in terms of both gender and species)

I think I know of some comics you might like

unskilled labor

I hate that term. All labor is valuable.

It’s the reason some people make a whole career out of being a server

Ah, yes, painting working class people - usually women - as being greedy because they want to “have a career” (a.k.a. earn a livable wage).

Servers don’t make too much, billionaires do. All jobs should pay enough that you could continue to do them your whole life.

I can’t speak for those emoloyees, but since it seems like the pay structure seems designed to make tipping optional, I assume they’re anti-mandatory-tipping there

Yep. Continuing to patronize that establishment, whether or not you tip, perpetuates tipping culture.

Not true. There’s a restaraunt in my town (and not even a very large town!) that pays all staff the same (relatively decent) wage and splits any tips they do happen to get equally among all staff. Obviously people will still tip, because that’s the culture here, but if you didn’t tip it’s not like the staff won’t be paid at all.

Places like that are rare but they’re out there, and the principled thing to do would be to spend your money with establishments that are doing their best to be part of the solution.

It makes lots of sense when you realize that it makes more money for the owning class, so they like it a lot.

Also it got started right after slavery ended, so you can imagine who was getting told “sorry you didn’t make any money today, better luck tomorrow.”

Unless you have a degree or work a skilled trade, it’s pretty hard to find a job that out-earns serving. Most places, good servers and bartenders are actually making enough to live on (after tips), which you’d only get in retail if you’re management. (Sometimes not even then!)

There are plenty of ways to get faster table turn that don’t involve rushing your customers, like making sure the food is prepared quickly and accurately, or taking payment earlier so that customers can leave whenever they would like.

Obviously, yes, more tips makes more money than less-but-slightly higher tips, but a good server will manage to achieve both high quality and efficient service.

But yeah, everyone needs to make a livable wage, and tipping culture only helps the owning class.

As a server: I literally do care though. I love my regulars and it makes my day when they come in.

I’d still care just as much if I got paid a living wage, but like, don’t say we don’t care when many of us absolutely do.

Boycotting the restaraunt is the actual solution.

Not tipping just makes you an asshole.

Or, don’t eat places that don’t pay their workers

Because we’re an uneducated shithole, obviously 😝

That sounds eerily plausible 😥

Honestly? Mission accomplished

Tetrachromats wouldn’t have an advantage here as digital displays only have 3 color channels

No one is saying that individuals of any ethnicity can’t be bigoted. The point being made is that, in our current society, the societal structure that we call “racism” - the social machinery that empowers white bigots to enact violence against people of color and get away with it, and disadvantages non-white people in all sorts of other ways - lends a certain weight to the prejudices of white folks that just isn’t true for the prejudices of other people. Disadvantaged people who hate all white people just aren’t a threat to white people the way that even well meaning white people are to people of color.

In other words: the prejudices of those in power are a much more pressing social ill because the ruling majority ethnicity/culture has the power to actively cause harm via those prejudices.

That one would be better for us, I think, because we could always pop home to grab anything we forget.

I’d never arrive anywhere on time though

I suppose that depends on how resource intensive it is and how long it takes.

If you have to go to the teleporter building and wait in a long line, it’ll be more like “oops I left <thing> at home.”

If teleportation is basically free and you carry the device on you, it’ll be only slightly worse than walking.

The real bad time is if teleporting is portable and easy to do, but expensive. Then we’ll really get ourselves in trouble.

It’s pretty easy to tell whether or not something is a language or gibberish using statistics.
