And you know what's the worst part. It's the owner refusing to pay him proper wages that forces this tipping culture in the first place. It's absolutely atrocious and we shouldn't even be responsible for making sure they get a living wage. That should always be up to the owner

To what extent do you think education has played a role in allowing kids to critically analyse these types of people. Because in my history classes, we learned about ways people influenced others in nefarious ways and I'm wondering if kids see the same common pattern and know when to avoid.

Just a thought 🤷

Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?

For me it has to do with this

  1. I want a feed that updates based on my subscription
  2. That subscription content could be anything, blog posts, updates on a Wikipedia page (to keep up to date with a news story that is out of the limelight), or get updated with a XKCD comic

RSS meets both these, dead simple. It's also low in data usage, but it's for those reasons that I recently started using RSS after leaving it years ago.

P.S. I believe some blame goes toward "fragmentation", i.e. we still need to check a couple of websites for something new. RSS solves that by bringing all that into one place
