Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Today in the tipping thread: Quid gonna stab a bitch.
It really doesn't help that the OP was such a douche in his story. A discussion on the economics of tipping is hard enough without starting out with a douchey attitude about it.
I was doing that thing where you try to catch it before it hits the ground, you see.
What, with your teeth?
I think a better story would have been that you reached for it but ended up grabbing her thigh or something.
I did a sitting dive. You know, when you lean out of your chair left/right while still sitting. What, did you want me to catch without moving, just with my arm, like some movie ninja dude? I'm not a movie ninja dude, buddy.
How high are your damn chairs where you had the room to bend so far as to mack ass contact before your hand hit the ground. Or were you diving ahead like Superman?
Like, there have been times when I've been selfish and not tipped well because I was low on cash. If I was low on cash, I shouldn't probably have been dining out, and I recognize the selfishness of it.
To not even recognize the social structures, and think that your individual selfishness will have an effect, is pretty fucked up.

Now I'm trying to visualize all these different descriptions of Elki's dive and they're getting more hilarious as time goes on.
Edit: What course Andrew?
Constitutional law. I just realised I haven't really paid any attention to the cases, though I more or less know the rules.
Funny story about tipping. Whenever we leave cash, my girlfriend insists on hiding the bills under the bill - not for security, but because it looks like we left a measly dollar until the server moves it. Drives me nuts. Sure, the server only temporarily hates us for those few seconds, but still.

Well, I could be wrong, but I think of Aspergers as more a disorder of perception, and thus any social dysfunction arises out of obliviousness. But these people who think they should never have to tip aren't unaware of the reasons for tipping or anything, they just don't care.

Ah, neat. Which reminds me that I should probably study for my PoliSci exam on Friday. Ugh, so much pure memorization.
Also, I love how so many people each tipping thread base service on "refill my drink."
Isn't that part of service or do you see that as the domain of a different person in the restaurant?
No, it is. Water should be done by the bus boy.
Two reasons for it though: a lot of times they mean free refills. That's pretty nasty, and a lot of times managers will hold back their waiters if this is the case.
If not, I always find it funny how essential drink refills are to a nerd's dining experience.

Yeah, I rarely eat out and if I do it'll usually be somewhere where I'll get something much better than what I can cook. Which means that I'm prepared to drop what's a pretty massive tip since as far as I'm concerned I'm blowing cash anyway. Otherwise I generally avoid eating out since I see it as too much of a luxury for me and I know I'll feel bad if I have to give an average tip when I got good service.
If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

Yeah, many people don't get that eating out is a luxury. You are there to be pampered or impress (like on a date or something.)

I would think that you'd have to have waiting experience to know about that.

Stab a bitch with your tip!
Hrmm...

I think the tipping thing (and this ties into the objectivism threads) is less about aspergers and more about being selfish.
I read that as Sab a bitch and then wondered how exactly that would work.

Nah it's definitely the 'spergers
Haps likes to play "just the tip"!
That is a good theme :^:
Only you can tell and if you can't... well, I got nothing.
Maybe if Poldy was a little more selfish he'd be able to eat, and wouldn't look like a smack head with TB.
Yup. And now the forum will be overrun with randroids
reap what you sow, whiners
Wrong, Irene. I don't play, I'm all grown up... :winky:

Ugh, studying not going so well . . .

I'm not your [chat], guy.
Nooo! Change it back!
But really, don't be a pussy. Since when have you buckled to peer pressure. Do you want your crown royale now, Mrs. Clinton?
But the doctor told me I'm not infectious!
And Rand? Fuck that noise. Autism all around.
shhh!

Oh god, me too.
Funniest one I've got has him moving like Napoleon Dynamite.
*headbutt*
"God! Stupid butt!"
Ahahahahahahha no I will cut you

DrSammyD is basically to civics what MadMorlock was to science class.

It kinda stopped being funny to me after about a page or two.

man someplaces though you could bean the waiter with your empty glass and the fucker still wouldn't refill the damn thing
No, it is. Water should be done by the bus boy.
