Super Duper Burger,
epitaph said:
Yelp is the mafia. They can offer you 'protection' against bad reviews for a steep advertising subscription. I can't believe that they actually won that extortion lawsuit.
I refuse to go to their website at all and recommend everybody to stop using it.

This will change your mind about tiny houses,
epitaph said:
I think these structures would be great to rent out. Cheap to build and easy to maintain plus renters are usually just looking for a place to shit shower and shave.

NYC restaurant bans tipping,
epitaph said:
No I don't mean asking for the obvious thing you expect at a restaurant I mean sending the food back because it is too rare then complaining that there is no flavor to your steak. Using 40 napkins each to eat a bowl of pasta. Asking for 5 different condiments for your French fries because you like it that way. Even McDonald's won't put up with that shit. I would have no problem going back and grabbing it but I didn't like it when people start making senseless requests because they were being waited on, I did have a problem with that. I think you should take on a part time job as a waiter if you think it's easy money.

epitaph said:

NYC restaurant bans tipping,
epitaph said:
I was a waiter and bartender before when I was in school and I had witnessed the industry change alot in 5 years. While it was always part time work with minimum wage and no benefits, the job duties seemed to get more and more exploited. Instead of coming in to just wait tables for 4-5 hours they now want you to be a prep cook and a janitor as well as a waiter because you can do those job functions while being paid minimum wage on the hope of making some tips before your shift is over, but because your job duties have expanded the amount of tables you service has decreased which of course has a huge impact on what you would walk with at the end of the night. Most waitstaff don't make $15/hr in tips and I think working at McDonald's is a better job opportunity than being a waiter now a days. I'm not saying that you should hand waiters a was of cash for a terrible job, but try to understand the shit work and compensation they get. We use to insult the people that add no value to society, politicians, celebrities etc. now it's the waiters and Mexican immigrants and people that work shit jobs nobody else will take. Also I'm all for a fair wage and no tipping, but I doubt this model can compete with the current. As restaurants have seen their margins erode they need to find a way to exploit their workers further. The no tipping model will just drive prices up and customers away.

Zillow CEO: Rising Mortgage Rates May Trap You,
epitaph said:
He's right about it being a great time to sell, but the trade up market isn't going to be dead with higher interest rates. The trade up buyers are going to be the ones who sold now and buy twice the house for the same price after this bubble pops.

Paying $3,000 rent per month is slavery,
epitaph said:
The patnet motto should be adjusted from debt is slavery to America is slavery since all we do is piss and moan about how unfair life is all of the time.
If you don't like your rent become a drifter or find some other alternative way of living, there are many online sources for this kind of lifestyle. But please don't whine about how other people choose to live their life. There are advantages to both owning and renting. Please stop the shitposting.

Return of the Housing Bubble?,
epitaph said:
The first rule of bubble club is you do not talk about fundamentals. The second rule is strikingly similar. There is no way we will see the wave of foreclosures this time around with lending being much tighter, but I do believe it will be a long steady slide ala Japan. Jobs reports and consumer confidence are just garbage and i don't see jobs coming back to the levels they once were for a very long time.

How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour,

I read this book and while it has enriched me with information and helped me increase my wealth, my pay has maxed out at roughly $600,000/hr. I am now working with my lawyer to file a false advertising suit for the lost wages of $400,000/hr, emotional distress, and $12.99 for a refund for book.

Friend is a serial cheater, he has wife and kids... should I rat him out?,
epitaph said:
Keep your mouth shut, none of your business, etc.
If he tries to bring it up again tell him to drop the subject, and tell him to be careful on who he tells this shit to. You are an honest guy and probably would never blackmail anybody, but some people would.
Tell him that it's in his best interest to shut up.

Bitcoins,
epitaph said:
There are alot of good things about Bitcoins, but alot of bad as well. I think the fact that it cannot be devalued is a con and not a pro, devaluation is a necessary evil. The fact that people can hoard these without being punished is a major concern. It seems the price has stabilized around $60, but I think a double dip is in order.
