Donating is idiotic. End of story. If you donate to anything, you’re a moron.

My childhood. I don’t understand people who do. Mine was mostly loneliness, confusion, trauma, emotional neglect, guilt, shame, some abandonment, some physical abuse, etc. Every day has been a step towards better than the previous. I don’t want to or miss anything going backwards.

I still use Steam Link for that. The little physical box. They still support it.

Pull the stick out? I love history and thought of what you said as well and those women ARE remembered, but for a fleeting forgettable moment in a lemmy forum, even I had a laugh.

Just a few from mostly recent years, varying sources. Of course some can be found saying otherwise, but I feel like a meta review would reveal it’s likely at least 50%+ most of the time.

Sixty-two percent respond with universal coverage.

A 57% majority of U.S. adults believe that the federal government should ensure all Americans have healthcare coverage.

63% of U.S. adults say the government has the responsibility to provide health care coverage for all

The vast majority of Americans, 70 percent, now support Medicare-for-all

Read more history, even just the last 1-200 years. Really dig in to the shit they don’t get into in school. What you’ll find is that times have always been “troubling” and if anything I think there’s a selfishness some people have when they always focus on somehow NOW is the worst time ever and NOW is when things are terrible and everything good will somehow end.

Honestly, whatever you think is “troubling” nowadays probably isn’t even new or the first time. But so many people don’t understand just how fucked up all of history has been and yet people and countries and cultures survived.

If anything, life today in general for most is far better than in all of human history. Due to advancements in technology and medicine, most people don’t have to worry about basic survival things the same way they might have even just 100 years ago.

And you’d likely still find that out using the same question from the left.

Also just some warning that there is immense racial bias in a lot of data. Take what you’ve heard with a grain of salt.

Was definitely not bragging or saying I’m the only one. I just distinctly remember some people who were very passionate about this attacking me and in some cases it destroyed our friendship or acquaintance since they judged me for it.

Never made sense to me. I told them I never refused to tip people. I wasn’t an asshole about it, but I certainly tried to avoid going to places that expected tipping.

Which is idiotic. At most other jobs, that is internal, impacts rewards like bonuses, and potential fireability. Just stupid to make it the customers problem.

“tongue punching the fart box” and “Renaissance” in the same sentence.

Bravo.

I have played every Far Cry since the first. In my opinion FC5 is the worst. Boring setting. Far more mundane and repetitive than the others. The forced kidnappings were annoying. The ending was meh. I think FC6 was a refreshing change.

Personally Far Cry Blood Dragon is the best overall. The Vietnam DLC for FC5 is also excellent, even though short. FC4 is also great, and has a truly unique setting and was a lotnof fun with the gyro copter and Yeti. FC3 is good and fun, but it’s overrated.

FC2 I think is the best FC in a spiritual sense. For all its flaws, it truly set out to implement a unique concept the other FC’s have forgotten… that is you set out to accomplish something and everything will go wrong. You were supposed to be frustrated and overthink things. The setting was cool, the story was effed up, and the buddy system was kinda neat.

All Far Cry’s suffer from underdelivering on the story. So much potential with the villains, yet barely seen. People who brag about how cool Vaas is seem to forget you only see him like 3 times, he’s gone by like mid-game, and he wasn’t even the main villain.

I am shocked the lifespan EU4 has. I played hundreds of hours of it on my (melting) laptop in college a decade ago. I’d let it run a bit while studying in the library, and kind of make slow moves and changes between studying things.

Heh. I love Ys, and yet EVERY SINGLE TIME I am initially disappointed, and I have to stick with it, and it eventually gets insanely good.

Just how Ys games are I guess. With Ys X I went into it knowing this and really overlooked a lot and told myself to ignore my criticisms cause I’ve been through this rodeo like 6 times now. 50 hours in, yeah it’s awesome. The story especially.

I don’t hate Monstrum Nox like so many do. It’s refreshing they will always try wildly different things.

“I read this online and so now I repeat it online to others to seem smart and give myself a smug sense of satisfaction.”

Fuck all tipping.

Fuck all tipping. Fuck unclear prices. Fuck variable service.

Put clear prices. Expect consistent service. Pay fair wages.

If it’s about low pay. Why not expect businesses to pay fair liveable wages like every other industry?

If it’s about quality of service. Why do you not expect good service every time? Why do you not also tip your doctor for good service or the construction workers who ensured the roads are good for you to use?

Idiotic inconsistencies and morons everywhere defending it. Only in recent years are people finally taking notice, but 10 years ago oh I’m an asshole for suggesting tipping should be banned in favor of consistency, clear prices, and fair wages.

The same people who think they pay federal tax dollars cause they never realize they get it all back and then some.

The same one that was installed on people’s devices without their knowledge or consent? I think you’re avoiding the real issue there.

My issue is that most mom & pop shops suck. Local places often have horrid customer service or business practices and are run by people who have no business running businesses. Very few are legitimately good.

And it’s not just where I live now. This has been the case everywhere I have lived.

It’s why I hate the blanket “support local” bs.

They’ll fuck it up.
