  • When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

    I’ve lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

    We have nothing compared to fx. London.

    Where did you see cameras?

    Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

    That’s not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.


  • You can think of it like this:

    If a / b = c, then c • b = a

    So if 0 / 0 = 1, then 1 • 0 = 0

    Which is true. It feels right at first.

    But what about other numbers?

    If 0 / 0 = 7, then 7 • 0 = 0

    That also works. But if every number works, then which one is the correct one?

    The question boils down to:

    Find x, where x • 0 = 0

    Now it might be more clear that the question doesn’t really make sense, so no answer will make sense.





  • All good points. But since tipping is supporting this broken system, and not tipping seems to be worse, what do you suggest then?

    I could just not go out, sure. Just stay out of it. If enough people do that, this wil lead to less customers, more employers closing their business, more employers loosing the job they couldn’t afford to quit. I don’t see how that helps either.

    So I’m listening. What do you suggest?


  • I see what you mean, but I’m not the one fucking over the employees.

    On the short term you are right, but as long as customers keeps tipping, the system works well enough for nothing to change.

    The more people stops tipping, the closer we get to change.

    And I’m sorry that the change will hurt the employees, but it’s not my battle. And tipping does not support the employees battle, just this days income.

    Tell me another way I can support their battle, and I’ll listen.

    (I tip when the employees seems to rely on it, or if I feel extraordinarily well serviced.)
