  • I think the T2 was to insinuate that it was “Twitter 2”. I didn’t understand the rebrand, because, even though it’s been a few years, Pebble to me is still associated with the smart watch.

    I actually signed up and used it a little, but I put up a funny post with a Corvette that had a wheel off sitting on wood blocks with the caption, “When Rednecks get Corvettes! 🤣” It was a stupid little joke, but my post was flagged as offensive and removed. At that point I made one more post explaining what had happened, and that I was going to be leaving the platform. I left the post up for a couple of weeks and then deleted my account. If that was considered offensive, my sarcastic self didn’t stand a chance on that platform.

    I’m not surprised they didn’t get any traction.










  • They don’t know anything about those tickets, other than what’s written on them. What if the service was poor/slow? The food cold or bland? Flies flying around? The customer was elderly, and that’s the most they could afford? There’s a hundred reasons why the tip may be low. It’s a gratuity - to express gratitude or displeasure. If they don’t like how I tip, take tipping out of the equation and pay your servers. The dirty secret that most people don’t realize is that, in the US, if a servers’ tips don’t add up to the servers making at least minimum wage, the business is required by law to pay the difference. So this is basically a restaurant acting like a spoiled child - the customer didn’t give them enough, now we have to. WAHH WAHH!!

    I would never again frequent a business that does this. You’re a business that relies on customer satisfaction, but you want to shame customers? Hard pass. I don’t care how good the food is. The other opt-out for me is any place that publicly says the tired, “Nobody wants to work anymore.” Lots of people want to work, just not for you, and you’re turning your poor business decisions into a political issue. Nope.


  • Y’know, I just posted about this in a comment chain on the original McDonald’s hot coffee lawsuit. Someone was arguing that the lady was responsible and not McDonald’s The court can find more than one entity at fault and by percents, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In the coffee case, they found the lady 20% at fault and McDonald’s 80% at fault. In this case, if it’s been reported to Google multiple times and they still haven’t fixed it, I can see the court finding them 10% or 20% at fault, and the entity that’s supposed to maintain the road and the sign 80%-90% at fault.

    Y’all are arguing like it has to be one and only one party at fault.
