Bartenders are a case that you’ve missed. A standard cash rate is $1 per drink. Bartenders have a lot of leeway when it comes to how quickly you’re served, and how strong your drinks will be, so tipping well may be in your interest.

“Unskilled” always seems like a slur - there’s a fair amount of skill that goes into loading trucks properly and efficiently, same as any job.

Seen the video - it looks like he has a panic attack (probably because his boss is standing over him saying how dangerous it is), but they said he overdosed from touching it / potentially inhaling it and “nearly died”.

They’re great work laptops, as long as you treat them as basically disposable. If I have a problem, just turn it into IT and grab another, pull down the repos and I’m off. Wouldn’t buy one with my own money, though.

Mostly hate and misery, with a good dash of racism.

For a more serious answer, “tory” is the nickname for a member of the Conservative party, the UK’s major centre-right party. Much like in the US, they’ve been shifting further right in the past few decades and focusing more on “culture war” BS.
