  • The service I got was slow. I come here all the time, so i should know how things should be around here. My waiter sucks, I demand that he be fired.

    [Paraphrased, but this is actual feedback I got the day before mothers day, when our dishwasher was broken. And yes, he stiffed me, because of course]

    I’ve also had a father tell his children that “tipping is optional and they should be happy with 5%” after I spent an hour and a half busting ass for his family’s ridiculous requests. After taxes and tip out 5% can literally be less than zero into your waiter’s pocket, fwiw.

    Y’all suck. I assume anyone I see bitching about waitstaff getting tips, or implying they dont tip, is an asshole, because IME those are the complaints of an asshole. Tipping culture in general is a whole other topic that there can be reasoned and nuanced discussions about, but if your take is “tipping sucks and I don’t have to,” then you are willingly taking advantage of a system that denies people of the fruits of their labor.



  • They could replace it with an area that has a bunch of different modes of transit and gives you a scavenger hunt of bus stops as a goal, maybe with flavor of the week interactive futurism/science exhibits at each one they have to write down a fact about. It could handle thousands of guests, and have infinite replayability. Collect all the badges. Kids would love it, parents would see it as STEM enrichment, and everyone would secretly be learning how to read timetables and routemaps. Then again I have an agenda so of course I would like them to build world’s biggest model trainset in order to indoctrinate the youth


  • It works well, until it doesn’t. That first part lulls people into complacency. I rented a Kia last year that had automatic cruise control and lane keep assist and it kept me on the road far past when I should have pulled over and taken a nap from being sleep deprived after a redeye flight. Dangerous? Yes. Skill issue? Maybe. What I took away from the experience is that it is frighteningly easy to get used to a thing “just working” and forget about its limitations when it is convenient. I also learned that I do not want lane keep assist or automatic cruise control in my personal car.







  • Eh, it’s a distinctive style. If you workshop it and you like the result, great. If you don’t, thats fine too. They’re funny and now that I know what to expect I can read the nose for what it is. I happen to like your comics quite a bit even if I have been wondering why your characters are so smug and/or content all the time. I thought it was part of the humor ;-)

    For me I think part of the problem is my brain fails to notice the nose in panels that have mouths, and therefore I expect to see a mouth but not a nose in panels woth no mouths. Idk if that helps or even makes sense
