>You don't have to make a bit fuss or be rude about it, but I don't see anything wrong with pointing out something is wrong.

In industries where people tend to treat each other sanely, I would agree. I believe that most kitchens are managed by assholes who chew out their cooks over minor mistakes, so this is a particular case where I don't think I have a choice about how feedback is given. I can be nice to the server, but the only way I can be nice to the cooks is to not make my issue known. If the restaurant industry wants my feedback, the restaurant industry needs to fix this horrible work culture problem. If they could stop sexually assaulting their staff on a regular basis that would be cool, too.

In most situations I would probably note the mistake to my friends after I was sure that the waiter was out of ear shot, but not make a big deal out of it. I can think of one person who I wouldn't say anything to until we'd left the restaurant; I know from previous experience that he would bring it up to the waiter.

I think my treatment of the service industry changed significantly in high school, when I actually knew people who were working at restaurants and heard their stories of horrible customers. Having since worked at a restaurant and eaten out with lots of food service people, I believe that food service people tend to treat food service people better than others do (though I've seen exceptions both ways). I'm not trying to say this in a claiming-moral-superiority-via-kindness way, it's just a pattern I think I've seen in the world, and I think it kinda makes sense given the nature of granfalloons.

That depends. When I didn't eat meat, I would definitely mention it if the special preps were skipped. But if it's not an issue of dietary restriction and the waiter brings me soup instead of salad as a side, I'll take the soup. I'm not slowing down the whole production line and getting a line cook chewed out so that I can have salad instead of soup.

I feel that both you and the commenter you've been arguing with are making mostly reasonable statements. I also think that for this particular industry you're probably part of the 20% of customers who cause 80% of the problems, and that this is why you're being booted from these platforms. Note that I have not made any statements about the ethics of the platforms' advertising.

That depends on whether or not they are required for first render. Whatever scripts you attach will only be requested after the HTML is delivered, unless they're embedded (most aren't). Isomorphic rendering and rehydration can deliver and render just as fast as a static page, because it is a static page... at first. The problem with modern web page load times isn't the number npm packages bundled for the project, it's that developers/companies, through incompetence, laziness, or a desire to make sure that would-be NoScript users have to run their tracking code before being allowed to view content, don't always render basic content and functionality before requesting that bundle. The only exceptions to this I can think of are scripts that require you to run them before first render, like PayPal buttons that want to inspect everything, make sure they aren't in an iframe, etc.
