Spliffs (weed+tobacco in a joint) is pretty standard in Europe from what I understand.

However, “cones” like that shape aren’t only used for spliffs, people roll normal joints with them too

$17/hour isn’t a living wage anymore.

Also, don’t be obtuse. I’m talking about locally owned restaurants. It would be really stupid not to consider the owner of the restaurant as part of the supply chain.

The cat looks concerned lol

It almost sounds like you need AI to not go away for some reason.

Hope you get your money out before the bubble pops, hoss

I don’t know what the ai scam is.

Clearly.

FYI, you don’t have to have it automatically skip segments. You can have it label the segment in the seek bar (different color depending on type of content), and when the video reaches that point, a little option to skip pops up. So it’s entirely up to you each time.

It just seemed like an observation to me. One that personally rings true.

I didn’t read it as being pro-ad or anti-adblock. Just more of like, “have you noticed this?” type thing.

Was honestly surprised when I saw that so many people here are taking this to be some kind of anti ad blocker message. I just don’t see it.

There was actually a successful campaign to get the FCC to force the volume of ads to be the same as the programming.

But that’s the FCC so it only applies to broadcast TV. As soon as they could do it with streaming content, they went right back to blasting the volume for ads. Because fuck the spirit of the law, this is capitalism.

I’m with you, I refuse to use it. If my comment gets downvoted because of that, then so be it.

Why try to be funny only to immediately compromise it?

I don’t think that was the message at all. Where does it imply that you’re worse off? It’s just a (in my experience) true statement about how ads are even more annoying when you’re not so accustomed to tuning them out (like we were in the cable TV days)

How is that the opposite? Is that not like the whole point of the meme? That you can’t tune it out and that sucks?

Yeah it’s just annoying to have to keep paying attention anyway so you know when to unmute. So you end up watching a little bit of silent ads anyway.

The person making the exchange is arbitrary.

No, it’s really not arbitrary. That’s how commission works, it’s paid to you by your employer, not the customer directly.

It’s not a good analogy.

Didn’t you see their reply?

Well if they all said “I’m not working for that shit wage” or they joined a union, did literally anything at all. NMaybe they would get paid more. Instead they do nothing, and bitch

Duh, just unionize and shut up. Because it’s really that easy.

Nevermind that Servers make more money than every single person in the supply chain.

FYI, the restaurant owner is in that same supply chain. So no.

Also, I think commercial fishermen make decent money in the US.

Cool. That restaurant, also being in a HCOL, could afford to pay those people a living wage without tips. You’re advocating for them to not have to do that.

How to tell everyone that you’ve never worked in food service without actually saying it.

We understand how it works, we just think it’s bad.
