    The “Fuck your server” At the end implies the preceding statement is about the server and it’s a bit jarring to read if it’s not.

    Fuck your server, “Fuck your server”, or Fuck your server /s would have been more clear.

    While the sarcasm is clear in your head when you write it, it’s often lost if you don’t denote it in some way. That’s why /s became a thing.

    It’s worse than you think – In most US States, you can pay people way under the minimum wage as long as their tips make up for it. So an average waiter might make 2 bucks and hour on paper. If they didn’t get enough tips to reach minimum wage, the restaurant would have to pay them out on top of that, but it’s just this fucked up cultural thing to give restaurant owners free labor that the customers pay for.

    OK… but it literally is ‘games’ that you play for money. The law governing gambling is referred to as Gaming Law - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_law

    All gambling games also meet the definition for ‘games’, which is likely why they also use that term.

    Game: a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.

    Some people enjoy the extra risk/reward added to games and can do it responsibly.

    Go witchhunt all the gambling adverts to kids but let me play blackjack sometimes.
