Do you feel like it was easier to talk to folks 10 years ago? (piefed.social)

Online or offline. News keeps reporting about loneliness and disconnection, but in my experience it's just that it's harder to interact with people in a civil way because they are so hostile, angry, and arrogantly convinced their viewpoints and experiences are the only legitimate ones.

Not to mention the lack of civility towards servers and other service workers. I can't recall if I was just indifferent 10 years ago, but on a almost daily basis it blows my mind how openly rude many people are to servers and such, which seemed like a much more rare thing when I was younger.

I stopped dining out when I would get tip minimums from friends who would say if you don't tip X amount then don't eat out. So I stopped. Wonder if other modest means people did. Back in the day I used to tip 15% if the service was pretty good and 20% if it was awesome. 10% meant they did the bare minimum and 5% mean you actively sucked and 0% would mean the evening was just ruined or something. Its hard to give that one a bar as like only a few times has it been warranted. Like the server would have to be straight up rude or insulting or something. Anyway since that did not seem good enough I just stopped. If I see a tip jar at a place I nope out. Now granted prices are so high now I don't even go to fast food so I sorta don't do anything now.
