I disagree - it means you expect them to earn a wage regardless of how much you tip. Bosses should pay their workers a living wage, period. DD drivers shouldn’t have to rely on the kindness of strangers.

I agree, but if you pay for a service knowing that worker is underpaid by the boss, you are exploiting the worker just as much as the boss is.

The system is broken, it’s unethical to exploit the broken for your own advantage as well.

There are real humans who have effectively been turned into “anti-woke” internet spammers who never watched Star Trek and are suddenly pretending to be very invested.

Just like all those man who thought women’s sports was a joke, but are suddenly incredibly personally invested in women’s sports whenever a trans women is involved.

I’m weak for hard men.

Krogoth - Total Annihilation Core Contingency

It has extremely durable armor, capable of withstanding seven nuclear missiles. Its main weapons are the Gauss cannons mounted on either arm, its secondary weapon is an Annihilator-type laser mounted on its head and its third weapons are two Starburst rocket launchers mounted on its back that are used as effective anti-air weapons. A single Krogoth can destroy a sizable ARM base if it isn’t well defended.

An absolute beast of an RTS unit.

Which is silly because the enshittification of the entire US government will long-term lead to an unstable and impoverished society that is also bad for rich people.

Nobody is going to win out of this in the end. It’s a lose-lose for everyone.

Absolutely, most of the Cyberpunk genre is meant to entertain. The dystopian setting is used as a foil to a hyper-individualistic power-trip main character fantasy.

Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it’s good to be aware of. You don’t want to live in night city, you want to be the invincible god-like merc that lives in night city. You don’t want to live in the matrix, you want to be the bullet time kung fu Neo.

It’s for fun, it’s a fantasy.
