Don't take it so seriously you have to call me an idiot when your comment is nothing like what you said, buddy. We can all read it.

poorly worded

Speaking of your original comment and subsequent attempts to rationalize it away...

My day's been fine. Thanks. You don't need to get so upset yourself because you criticized stuff.

They're an input to a computer, but I doubt anyone's referencing the word according to what it means, and are thinking "digital computer."

Analog synths are still computers, though I doubt this is what OP meant.

The top talent aspect comes from creating a sound that we expect to be digital but isn’t.

This isn't actually hard, and this sort of shit has been going on for decades now.

No, I think people are confused as to what "computer" means, because an analog synth is easily a computer. It takes multiple inputs and combines them to produce some output as a computation of those inputs.

To be fair, I'd wager the person posting this didn't make that distinction either, and it's an irrelevant point, but this idea that "analog means it's not a computer" isn't how it works.

You are wrong. "Computer" does not imply digital.

The part that bothers me is "unique" because this shit's been going on since forever.

No, what you hear as a kick drum is just him hitting the middle part of the bucket.

Uh, you mean the bucket the guy's whacking on? The drums are the oldest technique in this whole thing.

"Unique" too, as if nobody ever decided to whack on a bucket before to make a beat.

What do people think electronic music is...? Do people think electronic music never uses guitars or things like in this video?

This is awesome, but there's nothing unique about this at all..? Dude's making the beat in a method older than anyone alive in this thread, banging on some buckets and pans.

That wasn't their claim. Nowhere in the headline at all is anything about DNA testing. Nothing about their comment was saying to take the headline at face value, and their comment was specifically about what the study did.

It's both a dumb system and a system that's beneficial for wait staff, particularly in high end areas.

It's a little convoluted but, the lower bar for income is minimum wage. Wait staff has to make minimum wage, and if someone gets no tips, the business pays them minimum wage.

If they get tips but not enough so that their take home is minimum wage, the business makes up the difference so they get paid minimum wage.

The business gets to reduce what they pay out to something like half of minimum wage (possibly less, I don't recall the exact figure), if that wage + tips yields over minimum wage.

So if you're fine with that person making minimum wage (which is an awfully low number), then sure, don't tip. But minimum wage isn't really a livable wage, and needs to be updated. Wait staff often make a livable amount because of tips, and so not tipping is just harming their ability to make a living.

I don't have a solution for this. If we change that system and the culture to where tipping isn't mandatory, it just becomes another minimum wage job, and a lot of wait staff are against it, because they tend to earn more than that.

At the same time, it's unfair because it's offloading that person's salary to random chance and dealing with assholes like the guy above who chooses just not to tip. Either way it's not much of a benefit to the customer, because prices in meals will change to reflect prices in what the business has to pay out to staff, but I'm fine with that personally.

I'd rather they be guaranteed a livable wage and me pay more for a meal to support that, than their livable wage come down to chance of customers and the variation in take home pay that comes with it. Wait staff who make good money are usually against these sort of changes because it means a likely overall reduction in their take home pay, so it's hard to take a strong stance when so many of the people working under that system support it.

Because it's always been everywhere. You just now have a frame of reference to notice it.

He moved to England when he was 3. I doubt he remembers much of South Africa.

And to the point, he was only born in SA because his English father and mother moved there due to his father being promoted to lead the office of a British bank with a location there.

And? He was still British.

Yea, I didn't mean directly you, sorry about that. It was an impersonal you directed towards people like OP and those defending him. I should have made that more third person I suppose. Sorry if you thought I was directly calling you a piece of shit for not tipping.

Some asshole not tipping though doesn't magically make them get paid properly. I think you're missing the point.

Nobody thinks you care about insults. You openly admitted you're a piece of shit who doesn't tip, so you clearly don't care about being a piece of shit.

Yes. Him being an asshole doesn't make the business owners not assholes.

Him not tipping doesn't magically transform the business into some ideal paradise for the wait staff. It just means they lose out on income.

Yes, it sucks, but that's how it is so not tipping is just you being a piece of shit to your server because they don't live inside your dream world. You can want for a better system, but don't fucking act like not tipping someone inside this current system doesn't make you an asshole.

No, because they're realistic and understand the system for what it is, and not being an ignorant asshole and pretending the system works how they wished it did.

You're peak redditor.

No, the whole eggs in a carton are pasteurized. This is regulation.
