  • I agree with everything you are saying about the implication and the position it puts people in. I’m not sure that its preferable to always include a tip option.

    However, people do complain about its existence. I have worked at places that have a tip option, and people do complain to the worker about the option being there. Nobody working there has asked for the option to be installed, just press “No tip”.


















  • They need a hug and to feel safe enough to be vulnerable. The identity of masculinity, the prohibition of displaying or feeling any emotion (other than anger), maybe is what contributes to people being underdeveloped husks. They’re empty shells and the way they didn’t learn to deal with emotions. Lashing out and compensating by “having” (things, people, being feared [‘respect’ to them]) because it makes them feel powerful. But real power is knowing who you are, being able to connect with yourself and others. They’re not allowed that, though. Connection requires being vulnerable and having a strong enough sense of self to not be threatened by that.
