The concept was originally applied to job, if I remember correctly. Ex: the flight attendant whose father passed away yesterday but still serves snacks and drinks on the flight with a smile and pleasantries is performing emotional labor.
I don't mind it as an idea in that context, honestly, but the people applying it to personal relationships are insane.

I don't know if your first question is meant to be rhetorical, but I'm going to assume it isn't.
I got to Starbucks about 2-4 times a month, depending on how much driving I'm doing on weekends. I can order from the app before I leave home, and by the time I arrive at the shop the drink will be ready for me. The only exception is their nitro cold brew, which I think the employees wait until you get there to pull to preserve drink quality. The employees pretty busy when I get there, but will respond with a "Have a nice day!" when I thank them for the drink. The seats in the café are almost always all occupied.
These are suburb Starbucks, and notably there's no other local coffee shops in the area. One of them is unionized, I have no idea about the others.

She's usually clothed in blue or blue over red in traditional Western art, though from a cursory Wikipedia search once "blue is the most expensive color" might have been the reason why that color was used.

The one tested in that video was water-cooled as well. They found a wire wrapped around one of the screws holding the water cooler in contact with the CPU that might have caused enough of an air gap to prevent heat from transferring effectively from the CPU to the cooler.

FYI Gamers Nexus reviewed either that exact model or something similar from CyberPowerPC and found the CPU was hitting 95C and getting thermal throttled.

You might need to either replace the heat sink entirely or remount it yourself if you get it.

It's more apparent in her essay on why the red pill is wrong, and she calls herself a female writer at the end.
It does make me question how accurate the beauty myth essay is, though, since it's apparently written by a (very unusual) woman and not a man.

Depending on where you are you can also trying looking for a G3/Continuing Anglican parish. They've avoiding a lot of modern insanity by breaking away from the Episcopal Church over the ordination of women.

This is absolutely something liberals and the Blue Tribe have as a perspective, and indeed even the most ivory-towered of them will fairly consistently blame conservatives for 'not grappling' with it in a genuine way rather than just shoving it out-of-sight. They just believe that the Correct solutions are near-completely opposite from the Red Tribe ones: favoring Therapy and voluntary treatment for the literal-schizophrenics and improved material support for the non-clinically insane.
I actually think this proves Hlynka's point. Liberals don't believe violent schizophrenics on the train are an underlying state of nature we'll always have to deal with, they believe its caused by a lack of therapy or support, and with enough support, we can live in a world where there are zero violent schizophrenics on the trains.

Hieronymus' comment is not visible when browsing the whole Culture War Roundup thread logged in. It shows up when browsing the thread logged out. The direct link to the comment works in either case.
Emotional labour for someone that appreciates it can definitely be one of the appeals of the job. Emotional labor for someone that's screaming obscenities at you is crap and probably the worst part of the job.
Activists complain about the latter and don't talk about the former because they're activists. If they thought "yeah, everything's okay actually" they wouldn't be activists. People tend to complain when their jobs are bad and not say anything when it's good anyways, so I'm not surprised you don't see much talk about good emotional labor.
