I also recommend Ullr when you want to take that Mint Cinnamon out into the real world. You'll schapp it right up!

I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive... Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!

Windows 10. I've since moved on to 11 but haven't tried it since then.

I am also interested in the Lemmy opinion of windscribe. My wife really likes them but their app used to brick my computer requiring a hard reset so I don't use them.

Honestly I love my tablet for reading manga. I know that as a kid I would have found a way to use it for other things but I think I would consider it for my kid for reading manga and comics. Maybe some type of e ink device....

I'm an American but the $1 burgers from Maccas were a life saver down there. I used to get 2 a day while I hitchhiked. But y'all also have canned tuna with some great flavors!

I was told going down there that it was outrageously expensive. And I found that true when talking about non-essentials, headphones and quality clothes. But groceries were shockingly cheap the entire time I was down there. I could spend $30 on a burger and fries, or I could get a weeks worth of food from woolies or coles.

Even better, the corner store, the gas station really, was owned by coles and I could get milk and eggs (things I want fresh, in small batches) and a small selection of anything else I wanted for the exact same price as the larger stores! This freed me up to get veggies and fruit at the market and always have enough food unlike at home.

While in Australia, I had higher quality food for less money with more convenience. All while getting told by people back home how expensive it was when they visited. Maybe I had a different experience since I went for a year but I live in Seattle now and I miss having a corner store within a 5 minute walk that sold all my essentials.

Also Woolies has their mini stores in the big cities and those things are fire.

But I'd rather look at what modern people are doing and saying.

We would too but unfortunately fascists pretend that they're not fascist by claiming their political party freed the slaves.

This obviously ignores their bigotry and hate for people of color and distaste for women.... And well, I digress. Suffice to say that these assholes try to claim they're not racist despite all the racist bullshit and hate they spread, and they use this claim as proof.

We would love to ignore it but we can't. Best we can do is inform ourselves.

It seems as though you underestimate the appeal of billions of dollars. It's not just the ability to never have to work again. Or power, prestige or any other nonsense. Or even just having tons of money. It's not greed that makes it appealing.

It's the security. The safety if knowing you'll never have to worry about food or housing. That your parents and family will be well taken care of. Your children will be able to have it all, that you've set them up for success and they won't have to struggle. It's knowing that your best friend who was diagnosed with cancer will have the best care available, wherever that may be in the world, and won't have to worry about food or housing or anything else while getting better.

You're either too young to understand or are lacking in empathy.

I'm not saying being a billionaire isn't inherently immoral. But the reason people take payouts like that are not solely down to greed.

I mean that's cool but also not really a rebuttal to the user above. Now the person above is not correct. Kids absolutely know when they're getting the short end of a deal or at least when it comes to stuff they care about. And Congress didn't give a flying fuck about the good of the children or we'd have a food guarantee for all children and single prayer health care already.

Yeah, you're right. I'm glad that they're paid more and I'm glad tipping is still possible but it just seems super uncool to remove the prompt.

I had an argument with a coworker once about their second job. They said they blacklist people who don't tip them for delivering pizza. I was surprised and asked them to explain and they said that most of their money came from tips. Without it they made state minimum wage and the job wasn't worth it.

I said they should be paid better.

My coworker responded that they are paid better by people tipping and that's why they blacklist people who don't tip.

I followed it up by pushing the idea that the restaurant should be paying them more so that the job is worth it without tips. And well... The whole thing devolved for some reason and almost ended with me getting punched.

Either way I think you should be paid a living wage and have the ability to get tips for going above and beyond. Tipping shouldn't be the norm/required but it should be available and it sounds like it is in this case just a bit more hidden.
