  • I agree, in principle vigilantism isn’t good for society. It opens the door for, let’s say heavily misguided, people to carry out whatever justice they want. Yes, it is also dangerous for the individuals with good intentions.

    However, if the “proper” system does nothing, who will?

    In the case of Roblox, I’m going to compare this to a public park;

    In this park some adults set up a free candy van for kids. The park rangers/owners (moderators) see this, and choose to ignore it. Some other people at the park report their concerns to the rangers, yet a week later they find 3 more vans have shown up.

    Finally, one person steps up and calls the police directly. The police can do nothing with the information, as there’s “no evidence”. Desperate to stop them, the person disguises them self as a child (don’t ask) to get the evidence. Police show up a apprehend the perpetrators.

    The rangers are now angry that the person called the cops to their park, and bans that person from the park for “pretending to be a kid”.


    If Roblox is unwilling to participate in the justice system set by society, they have no place in it.

    As for schelps making YT videos, I say keep doing it. Not only does is help spread awareness to issues like this, it documents the “vigilante” actions. Society can decide from there what to do with that information.














  • It certainly shouldn’t be the default “pre-caluaclated” amount, but if I have a gift card or something, I’ll still tip based on the pre-discount.

    Say the bill was $100 for a group of 4 and we use a $50 gift card, I’ll probably still tip the $20. Seems kinda scummy to only leave $10.

    It’s a terrible system that exploits people. I can’t change the system, but I can do my part and tip someone fairly for the hour they’ve helped me out.





  • I lead small teams doing construction/remodel type work.

    It gets real screwy when people start leaving at different times. Those who take lunch end up stuck with extra clean up or fixing last minute issues that pop up.

    It also sucks when the office folk leave early and we’re stuck in the field with questions or issues that they need to decide on.

    Once in a while, it doesn’t matter, but every day of people working slightly different schedules gets annoying.

    For independent work, yeah its ridiculous people are forced to work specific hours for no reason.



  • The DNC has also been actively socially pushing away one the largest voter demographics, white men.

    All the messaging about white guilt, all men are toxic, and should pay reparations for the sins of people who did bad things 200 years ago is insane. Imagine telling a child “you parents did crimes, so you must also to go to jail”.

    Who’s gonna vote for a party that seems to hates you? That’s like asking the lgbt community to vote republican, a party activity trying to erase them.

    The choice was vote for a party that hates you, or vote for a party that hates your friends.

    If they truly wanted to win, they’d have to focus less on skin color and gender (but not ignore) and more on economical inequality. It shouldn’t matter what skin color you have; if you need help, you get help.
