  • Most people who work the service industry don’t claim cash tips, but credit tips are required to be claimed due to the whole being electronic and traceable thing.

    If, as a service person, most or all tips are in cash, you just claim whatever brings you to minimum wage for that pay period.

    This is obviously heavily dependent upon where you work - some places want you to claim all tips (but you still don’t claim cash usually) others, especially if you make above min wage like most bartenders, don’t care.

    However, if you don’t claim those tips you can’t use that as income when taking out loans and applying for housing and whatever else. So it’s fucks people over pretty regularly.

  • Imagine being a doctor telling a couple their fetus died because of a sonic hedgehog gene mutation, tho. (This does happen)

    Like, it won’t matter in another few hundred years, but culture is difficult right now.

    Makes me wonder if the romans did meme shit like that. They graffiti shitposted and whatever so..

    Luckily nobody asks me what I would name shit because my pets are testament to my complete lack of creativity. 😊

  • I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?

    Changing timestamps and creating empty files..

    Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔

  • The Y chromosome is also deteriorating over time as it gets passed down with errors and doesn’t have a backup copy nor relevant genes to swap with, and men have less robust immune systems (iirc partially because of testosterone). So that’s fun.

  • Mirrors don’t exist in my dreams, I don’t think.. I’ve never seen one that I’m aware of, anyway.. and I have a quite extensive lucid dreamscape.. interesting.

    I find the easiest thing to do is check my pulse. I don’t replicate that in dreams, so I don’t feel anything where my heartbeat should be.

    Only downside is I’ll never realize when I’m actually dead.

  • Yeah, aircraft carriers are only allowed to dock at certain ports that are equipped to handle them. They are really quite large ships. Floating cities, really. They have more people on them than the towns I grew up in. Combined.. crazy, really.

    The only reason I know any of this (beyond being in the navy; I was never on ship duty nor at a carrier base, tho I was 30 min from the carrier base in San Diego) is that for a while my zombie survival plan was to hijack a semi (which I don’t know how to drive), back it into a grocery and load it up, and use it to high-tail to one of the ports that docks carriers (which I also don’t know how to drive), and try to steal one. They have enough deck exposed to the sun to grow crops, and can lose enough internal equipment to make up for the weight of soil, making them workable for emergencies. So I’ve looked into it a bit.. That minimum number of crew is a huge deterrent to commandeering one for this purpose though, cuz I’ve met military boys, and they would absolutely be infected early on, unless they were on deployment during the outbreak, in which case they wouldn’t likely come back to shore..

  • I had a similar training selling stuff for a remodeling company.

    I quit on the second day of training. It felt gross, and I told them I was really uncomfortable with their tactics and that’s 100% why I was quitting..

    I also don’t watch tv and go out of my way to avoid ads :) pihole on the network, Plex and physical media for media needs.

  • When I was young we averaged moving every 4.5 years, but for reasons, I got very accustomed to changing environments every year or so, and as an adult I’ve struggled to stay in one place for the clean start it offers, but moving is so expensive now, and I don’t like driving anywhere near enough to be a nomad van dweller type.

    I can maybe do it one more time in the near future, assuming money and housing values don’t tank first, but that’s probably it for the rest of my days. I hope it really scratches the anxious itch for change, cuz if not..

  • Probably because a skeleton crew for one of those is an absolute shitload of people (Nimitz-class carriers have a standard compliment of 3,200, not including the air division, so pilots and mechanics and such).. and like sure you could probably get rid of some stuff and cut that in half, but it would still require a lot more staff than a super yacht (20-50 crew), including nuclear technicians/engineers and stuff which would probably be expensive.

    Plus you’d be spending a ton to demilitarize and make the below-decks spaces comfortable, as that’s the vast majority of the ship. But in so doing, you may actually alter the ballast of the ship causing it to float higher and become unstable..

    Why bother when you can get a status symbol custom made for you, you know?
