The angst by some here, at tipping a larger sum than is customary, is overstated.
A lot of "excessive" tipping would be required to move the customary amount upward.
A single instance, or two, or three will not do it.

I am happy that you have adequate disposable dollars for your participation in the hobby.
Your statement that the other fellow's tip will drive up the prices you pay suggests otherwise.
The "newbie" member of this forum is entitled to make his own judgment about tipping.
He was there, he got what he got, and he tipped as he saw fit.
That's his prerogative.
I wasn't there, standing in his socks, so my comment on the amount of his tip would be presumptuous if not irrelevant.

The subject "newbie" didn't fall out of a tree because you judged his tip as excessive.
If you're not willing to help the newbie, the it behooves you to refrain from "burning his ass" under the guise of providing "constructive criticism".

If you're concerned that his tip is going to drive up your price, then you're not qualified to provide newbies with guidance or direction.
You may also wish to consider getting out of the hobby altogether if you can't afford it.

Try reading through the forums and get a little more knowledge to the hobby maybe you won't be paying out the ass for services not rendered your driving the prices up for other monger's who don't want to pay outrageous tips for newbie mistakes in the hobby. But don't blow my inbox up with your stupid messages if you can't take constructive criticism don't post your rookie mistakes.

If socialism didn't work, USA wouldn't have murdered millions over the years to stop it.
If you haven't noticed, Americans are killing Americans now.

What's most comical is that Trump and those that put him in power are anything but a typical conservative nor are they Christian for the most part. It's all grift and they are robbing everyone blind, or at least everyone that doesn't have a 8 figure plus net worth.
Unfortunately for the country I think that we are going to elect DeSantis in 24 and he actually believes in this culture war crap and you are going to see a gigantic Taliban-esque crackdown on any sort of "sinful" behavior that upsets evangelical Christians. Not good news for folks like you and me that like to partake in activities discussed on this board. Not sure how wanting to be able to access BC, not being forced to be an evangelical Christian or not seeing my gay and lesbian relatives and friends harassed and possibly arrested is "wanting the government to tell me how to live".
We're a long way from DeSantis getting elected.
DeSantis has a strong following in Florida, but whether he can persuade voters in other states remains to be seen.
There will be a strong backlash to Dobbs and the proposed follow ups.
Not all old school traditional conservatives are on board with the result.
The overwhelming numbers of Democrats who took down Trump will be back.
They know what side of their bread gets the butter.
And they understand that much of the current situation is beyond Biden's control.

I couldn't care less about abortions and the thing that drives me crazy is that all these people with the "my body, my choice" had no problem with me to keep my job and health insurance (at my age it's important) I had to take an experimental flu shot, quickly created by big pharma that in the past put profits before safety and it doesn't even work.
It's funny, some people are worried about "Christians" telling them what to do with their bodies and others worried about globohomo telling them what to have injected into their bloodstream. For me only one has come true.

Ok enough of my musings.
Roe being overturned and the case regarding Miranda rights are both huge setbacks for individual rights / freedoms and basically tells states that "hey, if something wasn't literally mentioned in the constitution then our position is that the right doesn't exist". That opens the door for all sorts of regressive legislation on things like marriage equality, school funding, criminal due process etc.
Numerous Republicans in multiple states, including Ohio's own Jean Schmidt (the Crypt Keeper) have come out and said that going after access to BC is on their agenda next. Other states, like TX have said that they are planning on going to challenge gay marriage and / or start enforcing old laws criminalizing gay sex. Sure doesn't sound like the party of no government interference to me. Mind your own fucking business and I will mind mine is my motto.

World is a crazy place right now.
