If nobody is interested in them, they will go away. Your choice!

Why not the idiots who worship them?

Looking at you BP

Grrrrrrr . . . . . .

Counterpoint... It's possible that there's some merit in career politicians. How have we gotten to the point that any unqualified idiot that can get elected can run a country? There's something to be said for having the qualifications for the complex and nuanced job of administering a country/province/county/city, etc. That being said, I'll agree that lifetime appointments, (US Supreme Court Judge, or Canadian Senator come to mind), are probably not the best idea...

Why does anyone feel the need to do this? There is already so much I don't want to know about you . . . .

Totally. Here's something for you to think about: Obediently using businesses that don't pay business tax, like Starbucks means that they don't contribute anything to society, like funding schools and hospitals, whereas if you bought your coffee from reputable places that do pay tax, we'd have better services.

Illegal in Europe.

We can wish, but we are (the majority of us) stuck in this hell forever . . . .

YASSSS ! WAR shouldn't be an option.

That is because you don't have a functioning press. Journalists are supposed to call out the politicians by asking critical questions, not just be a mic-holder that uncritically helps spread their hollow promises and baseless accusations.

If we started using the correct term I don't think they would be as popular. S*x reveal parties doesn't have the same ring to it...

Ought to be a way to punish the websites that encourage this. TikTok, I'm looking at you.

Nah, this problem is only going to get worse

you should get paid a normal wage and then the tip is just a bonus

Let the rich tip. I don't have the money to spare with these crazy high prices. so I don't go anywhere that tips are customary.

I refuse to use DoorDash or GrubHub for the simple reason I am expected to tip PRIOR to them providing a service. Do you tip your hairdresser BEFORE you get your hair cut? Do you tip your waiter BEFORE he even takes your order? Of course not. I will drive to our favorite pizza place and pick up the order myself. Gal at the counter LITERALLY turns around, takes FOUR steps, gets my pizza out of the warming oven and takes FOUR steps back to the counter. I put my card in the machine and click "No Tip". She gets this really pissy look on her face, but before she can say a word I put up my hand and said, "Don't bother. You did absolutely nothing worthy of a tip. Nothing. A trained monkey could have handed me a pizza".

So done with the tipping for nothing b.s.

Call your congressional representative and demand that food service workers be paid full wages.

if servers got a decent wage, then I would not need to tip.

It's very simple. If you choose not to tip, feel free to do so. HOWEVER, kindly announce at the START of the transaction /interaction, that you will not be tipping. This bar, restaurant, coffee shop, etc... Is not a hospital. I am under absolutely no obligation to serve you. Next, please. When you slowly realize that you are getting absolutely no service, or the barest minimum, you'll change your tune. Because face it, you're not "standing up for the underpaid", you're just cheap. Cook at home, and get a six pack from 7-11. Problem solved, cheapskate. 😊

How dare you!

Guns in general, with the exeption of those who acutally need such tools in their daily lives, e.g. hunters, hikers (in bear-land) or farmers that must protect their flock from wolves etc. They are not toys, and can be dangerous when uneducated people handle them incorrectly, or don't think things all the way through.

I agree to this plus mobile phone ads that blatantly lie about the content of the app they are advertising

Listen, if the person they're helping is actually helped, then it's still a net positive. I'd rather see this type of content than pranks or potentially wasteful/harmful challenges or conspicuous consumption.

It should be renamed as the cost of existing.

Only people who want this are those who rent the office space and middle managers who’ve realised how superfluous they are to things.

The world does seem to be getting dumber and dumber. Imagine how much we could do if we worked together, were kinder and shared more equally.

Gyms are making themselves a no filming zone now because of the amount of trouble it causes. Two of our local gyms have put a lifetime ban on anyone caught filming on their premises

yes, its very bad near my school, and every corners is filled with people with signs, and tents underneath the highways. its sad,

The US needs to outlaw this perversion.

Racism has always been around, unfortunately

Alpha males full stop. Very fragile egos.

unfortunately you won't convince the rich to stop being rich. They believe that it is in the correct hands in their own hands. and that giving it away to people it would be fettered away on useless things. No we plebians are too stupid to have money and be equal. Must stay squashed and quiet under the boot of capitalsim,

Organized religion in all of its forms always leads to violence. You want to worship magic space man in your own house that is fine, but stop talking about who has the better one in public. No one f*****g cares about your own internal delusions and the stockholm syndrome ticks you have developed from being indoctrinated into the largest cult on Earth. STFU.

The corrupt US is run by the oligarchy!! reboot the entire corrupt system!!!

Plastic surgery should only be done for medical aid and not to just look better

There’s no point in cropping a jacket or a jumper. Hard to imagine people who want a frozen stomach because of odd fashion

Regardless of whether I agree with the first statement or not. The arrogance behind the second sentence really pisses me off.

Just press the X and go do something more pleasant!

This! Washington, DC gets slammed a lot, but the problem is all the idiots that the rest of America sends there. Meanwhile, the residents of DC have zero representation in Congress and the passing of legislation.

They are understaffed due to covid. People seem to start valuing themselves higher (like you know, what their time might actually be worth) after covid and big boss billionaire doesn't want to shell out money for the post covid economy

I keep telling my dad to either hold the phone to his ear or text but he’d rather have a facetime out in public in front of everyone

And claiming to have been bullied just because people dared to disagree with you.

I question this one as a generalisation. Even if child abuse and date rape were "acceptable" or at least not talked about in public until rather recently, that's no reason to ignore how they impacted people, as well as the people who claimed they were just "edgy" during the heyday os these practices.

Tempo dust and a puffer. Works for roaches too. Cheap and (relatively) easy.

Never had it, never will.

Yep, I stopped updating my windows when they tried out the concept of making it a subscription. It is a sneaky way to slowly drain people's accounts without them noticing it, so I am very carefull with anyone offering that kind of "service".

I would rather work five, eight hour days than four, ten hour days.

sorry remakes make sense guys I had to say it ( I know ill be downvoted but honestly I don´t care)

I see you and raise you planned obsolescence.

Granted, some professions deserve to earn more money than others; however, when CEOs are raking in obscene amounts of money and NOT PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES while the people doing all the actual work are pinching pennies till Abraham Lincoln begs for mercy, that is not acceptable!
