Not sure if this is helpful, but BG3 is on sale until tomorrow morning.

I havent been able to play yet, so I'm incredibly excited.

Who said anything about Trump besides you?

I swear, libs make up their own narrative to punch left regardless of what Leftists do.

I have never and will never give the slightest fuck about Hunter Biden.

I hate that everyone has just given Diamond Joe a pass for pulling an RBG to hand the country back to Trump. Whatever else Democrats might have done differently, the single biggest campaign mistake is that the Cryptkeeper stomped on our primaries and wouldn't hand over power until the last minute.

The entire goal of his presidency should have been anointing of a successor. I'm not a huge Kamala fan, but he could have set her up for success instead of waiting. Whoever won real primaries would run a much better general election campaign than Kamala could have this year.

Do you think it's okay for us to bomb people because I can say on the internet that we shouldn't bomb people?

China doesn't call themselves "the leader of the free world" or "a shining city on a hill". Sure, freedom of speech is generally better in the US than China (but don't think that nobody ever gets put in jail for criticizing the government.) The fact remains that the US kills a lot of people.

I'm not Chinese. I can't affect Chinese policy at all. I focus on the US because my voice is supposed to matter here, allegedly.

Woohoo, that's my boss! Explains a lot about the company.

Fun fact: we had to "return to office" last year. I had to move away from all my friends to a red state. Come to find out, there's practically nobody in the office either. All of our work is done over zoom. It was just a "quiet layoff", but I couldn't find another job in time to quit.

I get where you're coming from, but the reason I disagree is because you're assuming these people are acting in good faith. Why do they need a title?

Queer folk have always used symbols to distinguish ourselves and find others. We're ~10% of the population and it's necessary. Straight people do not commonly do so, and 100% of the people who feel the need to wear it like a badge are actually signaling their refusal to let the rest of us exist.

I, for one, would feel perfectly comfortable in an MMO with 90% straight people. (This is just called existing in public.) I would leave immediately if 90% of people wore a "Straight" title for no discernable reason.

It's not exactly legal, but a lot of places will charge the server for a done and dash.

I waited tables for years. (I was good at it, and even helped train everyone at a new restaurant.) Hourly pay would have definitely lowered my wage, but it's still better than tipping. It'd be cool to get hourly wage, or even commission, so that your pay isn't based on people's whims.

servers who were bad at their jobs would get paid just as well as servers that offer good service.

(Note: I use the general "you" a lot. You're just repeating what someone else said, I assume you don't have any wait staff working for you personally.) You can fire people for being bad at their jobs. Why do you have bad staff working for you, tips or no? How about: Unattractive people will get paid just as well as traditionally attractive people. Minorities will get paid just as well as whites. Your salary doesn't hinge on whether you can sneak extra stuff to your tables without your boss finding out or putting up with sexual harassment. Salary means that my paycheck comes from the restaurant and I don't have to try to balance the interests of the people paying me against the restaurant.

ACAB, but you can hardly get upset about this case. Of all the shady things the FBI does, this doesn't even register.

Nobody said the title said that was the reason. If you're going to be pedantic, at least be consistent.

It is more difficult than a few years ago, especially if you don't want to get sued or get a threatening letter from your ISP.

I would only torrent with a VPN and a private tracker. It's certainly not difficult to learn, but absolutely requires some small amount of information to acquire.

Perhaps "nobody" is slight exaggeration. But I guarantee that more people would buy Girl Scout cookies for $5 than a mystery box for $200.
