Lot of people here saying they disagree with the tipping one. But you must surely admit that it is everyday etiquette in Canada. This guide is not for what's ethical -- after all, it is ethical to harangue somebody about their unethical dietary decisions -- it's to teach you what to do so that you fit in to this society better.

I thought most of those things were the standard

Don't shit on the floor, and if you do, make sure to clean it up. #lifehacks

You shouldn't have to be taught any of these. All these are just tacit behavior you pick up automatically if you're around decent folk.

I see a lot of comments dismissing the information because of it use of AI for the graphics. Would it have been received better if the post was simply a list of bullet points? I couldn't do graphics if my life depended on it, but I still feel this presentation is easier to digest and process than it'd be if it was plain text, so I'd probably go the same route of using AI to better convey what I'm trying to.

I'm thinking this through, myself.

  • there are people, companies, and systems that are making the world a worse place, though people may disagree on exactly what/who those are.
  • a fair number of people on Lemmy/Piefed believe that GenAI as promoted by companies like OpenAI is one of those things that are making the world a worse place.
  • to such people, using GenAI for convenience does not excuse anyone from contributing to companies/systems that are making the world a worse place.

So I guess if someone honestly believes that GenAI is not bad, then they are being morally consistent when they use it. However, if they're making an infographic, the point of it may be lost on those who believe that GenAI is bad and thus have a morally consistent aversion to it.

Now, IS GenAI really that bad? That argument seems to be raging elsewhere in this thread.

Yeah, I agree. The post isn't about GenAI but we can't engage with the content because we're still having a moral discussion on how the content was created.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
