If you know Howell’s history it’s easy to guess it’s there, but it’s a shame. Cute town.

I think “single for a reason” is what all that attachment theory shit is trying to help contextualize. It specifically sets the context as “single for a fixable reason” if you have the courage and humility to do the work.

Awesome, thank you :)

Did you learn it from a meme on Lenny and have you verified that it’s true? I didn’t, and I’d like to believe that stat.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this written about so -

The reason these tipping prompts are so egregiously inescapable now is that those point of sales systems are handed out by Clover and the like when the business starts using them for POS and inventory and credit card processing.

For each CC transaction, the business pays something like 2-3% of the transaction and so the CC processor becomes incentivized to make that transaction amount higher. That’s how we got here. You’re being guilted into tipping a shitty tech company.

Carry cash. Pay cash whenever possible. That’s how you avoid that screen.
