I refuse to tip on anything except things that are traditionally tipped, e.g. haircuts, non–fast food establishments, delivery, etc. I think it’s ridiculous how seemingly everything is expecting a tip now.

But, that being said, when I do tip, I tip exceedingly well. Typically a minimum of 80–100%. I know how much they rely on tips, and I love seeing them smile when they see the tip quantity. :)

Downside is I can’t afford to go those places or do those things very often. But what can you do? ¯*(•_•)*/¯

Reminds me of the latest Adam Something video. Russians are raised from birth with ridiculous amounts of “Russia Fuck Yeah” that’s just pure triple distilled victory porn, and posts like that are the consequence.

Or Chinese, or Americans…

olafurp ,

You should check out some American movies. Those are also pretty wild

ByteOnBikes ,

As an American, American jingoism in films does make me laugh. Like we are the only ones who can save the world.

Does Russia have films like that?

My favourite line from any of the Grand Theft Auto games is from a radio ad for some movie that ends with “Rated PG for Patriotic Garbage”

SlopppyEngineer ,

Start from American movies, then add a bunch of historical rewriting and fighting Nazis everywhere and you’re getting close to Russian level movies from what I’ve heard.

Schal330 , to lemmyshitpost in Olympic Sneaking: Qualifying Round

I decided to give the gold place breaking video a watch and although these people are skilled, I just don’t quite get the “this is the current peak of human physical fitness/skill” that we see from other sports. Diving, Rowing, BMXing, even synchronised swimming were all really impressive. I wonder if Breaking will make a return?

ChicoSuave ,

It needs more time for specialist coaches and athletes and training to develop.

postmateDumbass ,

The next Olympics are near the filming locations of the epic Electric Boogaloo 2: Breakin’ Boogaloo.

So they will have cultural tradition on their side.

Zipitydew ,

It was the local event Paris got to pick out. It won’t be back thankfully.

For 2028 we’re getting flag football (kinda meh on) and Lacrosse (will be awesome) as the local choice sports. Much better options thankfully.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

TIL lacrosse isn’t already a sport. I could swear that it got popular somewhere outside of America and Canada!

Or maybe I’m just thinking of cricket.

Zipitydew ,

Pumped for lacrosse being in finally. It’s a sport I think could go much more international than it is now.

Geobloke ,

It’s played here in Australia, but the only people who I know that played went to super fancy private schools

nova_ad_vitum ,

Subjectively judged sports have existed at the Olympics forever (artistic gymnastics, figure skating, etc). The problem here appears to be that the judging and scoring format actually stifles the performers rather than pushing them to new heights. Maybe that will change, maybe not. For now the best break dancing definitely doesn’t happen at the Olympics .

In my experience if Windows decides it doesn’t want to talk to your hardware because of some undecipherable 20 year old spaghetticode reason, You’ve no recourse except reinstalling Windows and it might suddenly work. At least with Linux you can debug and get things working

It was never about cost for me. It’s always been about freedom. And the harm and exploitation of the capitalist system.

Context: Israel released a list of so-called Hamas they killed during their recent terror bombing at the school. Turns out israel just made everything up as usual

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/78fb9284-7989-4bc1-95c2-ed8fc6191896.png

The Israeli army released a statement containing the names and images of 19 Palestinians in an attempt to justify the massacre. The statement claimed that the individuals were members of Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and their military apparatuses. The Euro-Med team’s preliminary investigation found that the Israeli army used names of Palestinians killed in Israeli raids—some of whom were killed in earlier raids—in its list, and took their photos from the Israeli-controlled civil registry

Following the initial review, it was discovered that three of the 19 names listed by the Israeli army as “terrorists who were eliminated” in the Tab’eeb School massacre had already been killed in earlier Israeli bombing attacks. These three include Ahmed Ihab al-Jaabari, who was killed on 5 December 2023, Youssef al-Wadiyya, who was targeted by the Israeli military two days prior to the massacre, and Montaser Daher, who was killed on Friday? in a residential flat with his sister, one day prior to the massacre.

NegativeInf ,

“He was so Hamas we had to kill him twice! Just to make sure it stuck…” Or something. Idk. I’m not a fascist.

Yes, that is what owner-class media is for—to mostly push duopoly and establishment talking points.

That is why it is important for us to make sure to check out independent journalists, since they are the first to debunk the status quo and they are not afraid to go against the mainstream narrative.

I'd be inclined to agree but since it looks like one of your valued sources is jimmy fucking dore of all people, I'd say you're still not getting anything close to the facts, unless you're looking for a new silver grift to follow, our how to mix a drink under a desk.

@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

All is well.

We all feel strongly about certain topics and people.


Edit: added below

I’m pretty sure genocide by the duopoly is much worse than what Jimmy Dore or others I share can discuss on their channels.

I would double-check your politics and world views.
