And what's next after that? People having traditions and celebrating things the way they want to for their enjoyment? -___-

Cunk on Britain / cunk on the world

I thought the halo ce was generally very well received. Is the hate for it a lemmy generation thing?

This sounds like an interesting hobby? Care to share more about how/why you are into dumpster diving for lightbulbs?

I agree, but at this point it kills the value for me. Why am I paying for the game and a monthly subscription?

I kinda get what you're saying but that's not why he's celebrated

It's almost like they could have also said something more than just "hey"

I installed Linux mint on my laptop the other day because of various sustained long term annoyances with Windows. Despite some minor hiccups it only took about 30 minutes. It's been such a great experience so far.

I tip and tip well when I patronize these businesses. You seem to defend the business owners while placing all the blame on this fictional group of people that are gleefully "fucking over wait staff." Also your tone is really hostile and confrontational.

You're assuming that it's my responsibility to directly pay these people's wages. I do but it's a dumb argument that I disagree with. "let the businesses close and new ones open with better practices" is tantamount to saying "let these people find better jobs that don't rely on tips to make a somewhat livable wage."

I get what you're saying and I still begrudgingly tip every time unless the service is terrible which is rare. But if people boycott these businesses instead of going and not tipping wouldn't that be just as bad if not worse for service workers than not tipping at all?

For example, if 80 percent of the people who regularly patronize restaurants stopped going, wouldn't a lot of these businesses close resulting in these people losing their jobs entirely? It's not a likely scenario but it's an interesting thought experiment.

About 90 percent of my nostalgia is reserved for Halo. GD I miss those days.
