Agreed with your point that we just need to stop supporting businesses that use the the tip system. We also need to reward restaurants with our business for moving away from that great depression structure and pay livable wages. If a business can’t afford to pay it’s employees then that business shouldn’t exist. Tip culture these days is just a way for restaurants to advertise less for menu prices. Just raise your prices by 20% and pay that to the server.

Now there is a portion of servers that are against this, because they work in high scale fine dining places where they make more than 80% of other servers in diners and sports bars elsewhere, and that kinda sucks that they’d promote this antiquated system since it works for a select few.

Boo daa

Yakuza 0 was absolutely fantastic, kiwami 1 was ok and kiwami 2 was also good

Nier automata, nier replicant, Yakuza like a dragon, FF7R, Baldurs Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Control, star wars fallen order/survivor

The silver lining, for me, is that I’m doom scrolling less due to the smaller amount of content here. But yeah, we need more creators here (I am not good at coming up with memes)

Bag(s) of Olding

I saw it really young, I always forget that show wasn’t a fever dream, along with Jake 2.0

I’m still surprised how GoT was on the forefront of pop culture and within 2 seasons any and all interest was morphed to apathetic disdain. No one really talks about it anymore. It’s only “they fucked up the ending”. Blue balled an entire fandom so bad that it impacted the show runners careers. I’m really hoping HotD brings the fandom back (also, a reboot of the last 2 seasons as a whole new show would be dope)

I just got to say, seeing Batffleck brutalizing criminals was something I didn’t know I wanted to see and was a breath of fresh air even if the movie wasn’t great. I do think DC should embrace darker movies but with Gun at the helm, I’m hoping he goes less campy than with Peacemaker or GotG.

I played it on ps5, crashes were very rare and the story/gameplay was great.

I use arch, btw

I mention this to my friends all the time. So many issues we’re dealing with derives from politics, so of course discourse will always return to it.

Money Rent/housing costs Grocery costs Stagnant wages Retirement

School shootings Police brutality Systemic racism

Medicine Insurance R/d for treatments Quality of life

Etc. Etc.

“On Tuesday, Conagra Brands—one of the largest consumer packaged goods companies in the U.S.—announced that it had posted a nearly 60% year-over-year profit increase between December 2022 and February 2023.”
