I’m fine tipping, but honestly, this is getting out of control. Mywife and I went into a frozen yogurt shop that we’ve been going to for years, but now, they have a new register and it insists that you give tips to the cashier who does nothing but sit on a stool all day and collect money.
This will be a short one, being Thanksgiving and all, but it never ceases to amaze me just how dumb people are out in the real world. Quick example, coming up below the fold, but I don’t know how these people actually survive day-to-day thinking like this.
I caught a video on YouTube, I don’t know why I watched it, but it was just “kids” (read adults who should be better than that) whining about working retail and… duh? I mean seriously, at your age, why are you working a minimum wage job anyhow? What the hell is wrong with you?
Occasionally I’ll see a headline scroll past that just makes me roll my eyes. Now granted, I didn’t read the article because I’m going to use it as a springboard for a discussion because I see this kind of thing all the bloody time.
Sometimes, I just stumble across things on YouTube and decide to write about them. This is one of those times. Honestly, I could make an entirely new YouTube channel just responding to these people, but I’m just going to do it here. At least this way, I don’t have to listen to them whine.

I ran across a video, while I was waiting for stuff to finish at work, and sometimes, I just watch random crap on YouTube, because why the heck not? Anyhow, it was a video, complaining that young people can’t get jobs.
You can, but you have to understand what employers are looking for and sadly, most young people these days, they simply don’t. In fact, they have spent their entire educational career shooting themselves in the foot. I’m going to explain it and I’m going to speak very slowly because after talking to a lot of these people, it’s obvious that I have to. Continue reading This is Why Gen-Z Fails→
I had a distasteful encounter with a trans advocate/fanatic yesterday. They showed up in a science fiction forum and started demanding that trans people weren’t shown the respect that they “deserved” and somehow everyone “owed” them things and damn it, we’d better pony up, or else!
I think you can understand how that played out. They ended up running away screaming that we were all “-ists” before the moderators banned their account because that’s how so many of these encounters go. They don’t have to, and I figure you can guess what political ideology they were espousing, but I wanted to take a few minutes to explain how reasonable trans people can behave.

I just had this bizarre conversation with a theist who simply couldn’t deal with reality. That’s a common problem, I know, but this guy (or gal, no clue) really illustrates why the religious have so many problems. They simply cannot handle reality as it actually is. They have to invent nonsense to comfort their childish feelings.
I ran into this yet again, in another throwback episode of The Atheist Experience. Matt really has problems not understanding the words that come out of his own mouth.
This is why I object to him the second he walks into social issues because he has every bit as much faith as a theist in the issues that he embraces. But first, let’s link to the video and then we’ll talk more. Continue reading The Failure Never Ends→
I’ve mentioned this a couple of times, but people who are stuck in their current mindset really have problems. I ran across this video from Atheist Experience and, just the very beginning of the call, spells out exactly why the whole thing is so dumb.
