who-knows95··on Worried Delivery Drivers Are Eating Orders? You Have Good Reason
Yer, that is a strange thing, if i order direct from the eatery i don't tip, but if i order through deliveroo i do tip.

I will admit, working in a bar or restraint, having automatic gratuity is something i used to encourage, pretty much asking the table if they would like to tip the standard % is easier than digging out change.

Living in the UK i always wonder if i should tip the takeout driver.
who-knows95··on Google Takes Position in Controversial Vaccine Safety Debate
Vaccines are already safe, to the best of our testing.

Google is a private service, and in theory could censor anything they wanted.

Anti-vaccine isn't just a joke, but a serious threat to the survivability of the human race.

who-knows95··on Google Takes Position in Controversial Vaccine Safety Debate
this article is bias, google is removing dangerous sites that spread lies and misinformation.

being pro vaccine is the scientific standard, only people who believe in conspiracy will subscribe to these ideas.

example;

"that could be an act of EVIL if it finally turns out that there is truth in the arguments that the current vaccine schedule is severely miss-reporting the cases of brain damage and death caused by adverse reactions."

this is such a ridiculous argument, "if it finally..there is truth" basically admits to lack of evidence/cherry picking.

not only that, the whole point about "severely miss-reporting the cases of brain damage and death caused by adverse reactions." is such a blatant lie, vaccines are seriously one of the most studied things we do, and there is no evidence of vaccines causing brain damage, expect when the person faints and the fall leads to damage.

Anti-vaccine is anti-humanity.

who-knows95··on Teen shot herself with gunshot through mouth while hands cuffed behind back
there is a very real difference between a terror attack, and a normal call out.

the reason why the area was delegated hot was because of reports of gun fire/ramming.

sadly, your logic isn't correct, we still have firefighters burn to death while trying to rescue civis.

--https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jul/04/grenfell-tow...

"A firefighter at Grenfell Tower prepared to die when his oxygen almost ran out during the attempted rescue of a 12-year old girl because the fire lift failed, the public inquiry has heard."

many people died in this event, not because of firefighters on the ground, but because of leadership/command/govt.

i cannot comment on that, as a first aid guy, i can refuse treatment to anyone. i'm not sure if it's the same with paramedics.

but, of course "ambulance services protocols put the safety of their staff over those of injured members of the public." doing the maths, if those paramedics were shot while doing work, now you just have even more people injured and require more medics.

police can be armed, with direct contact to support, medics aren't.

the ethics, and legal standing around paramedics refusing to treat wounded civi or other are buried deep within code.

this is a mistruth, 3 men didn't receive care instantly as the area they were in was deemed "Hot"

"The inquest has heard that the scene of the attack was deemed a "hot zone" under London Ambulance Service (LAS) protocol, which prevents paramedics from entering for their own safety."

""For our own safety we couldn't go forward," he told the Old Bailey, which is hearing the inquests into the deaths of the eight people killed in the attack at London Bridge and Borough Market."

who-knows95··on Men, commit to mentor women
you are allowed to disagree, but from my view/experience that's the standard.
who-knows95··on Men, commit to mentor women
except, there are a whole bunch of factors that play into this.

it's not just men seeing woman as something other than human, it's fear, misinformation, the idea the men are always the predator, mixed with the fact that both legitimate and illegitimate claims look the same i.e he said/ she said, half the time.

I totally get why men are aware that any misstep, even in it's most accidental way could be seen as harassment, and be career ending.

plus, from a outside perspective, a male boss working closely with a younger female is always going to raise eyebrows, even if their relationship is purely work/professional.

woman carry keys in their fists walking home, in fear that they might be attacked.

men avoid being in "compromising" situations with woman in the work place, even if it's just professional.

though, this is just my opinion.

who-knows95··on Ask HN: Amazon delisted me – what do I do?
Hello, i completely understand your frustration, reading the messages it's clearly some drone on the other side replying.

I would echo the statement to put up your own store, hosted on your own domain, and to stop relying on third party suppliers that are not interested in your well being. (but i have no personal experience)

i have seen YouTubers echo this statement in regards to ads disappearing, and i have seen amazon wipe companies out with these idiotic issues.

i wish you the best, and i love your product design/idea!

who-knows95··on Ask HN: I'm not happy, should I resign from my company or power through?
I'm sorry, i don't know if that is the case. i can find job listings for part time, but it might be something you workout with the employer during the interview phase.

kind regards
