I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...
Swiss here, quick correction. Yes, we have the rifles in our attics and basements, but, generally, no ammo is given out. You get that at the armory when you go to mandatpry training or in case of emergency.
Which is probably why the last mass shooting was some 20 years back.
It wouldn’t. That’s the point. Having Hamas do that seems like a perfect excuse to throw palestine under the bus. Which they would do with the agreement, anyhow. Now they have a reason.
That clearly didn’t work. A 40 percent increase is plenty, but it seems people don’t want their jobs to dictate their personal lives. Which is fair, I guess.
They need to change the expectations tha t come with the junior captain’s seat. Or force senior captains to be a bit more lenient, too.
The alternative is having no captains anymore, soon.
I sympathize with the barista here, but mindset that customers need to cover 10 to 20% of his income is symptom of decades of brainwashing of employees and customers alike. In this case NPR is part of this brainwashing. I will not tip someone for doing their job. I will only tip when I feel it is needed based on the service...
I mean, it IS. Restaurants need to price their menus so that everything is covered in the price I HAVE to pay. That includes a liveable wage for the employees. Whatever I give on top is up to me and a small gesture of gratitude if the employee is exceeding my expectations.
What I give on top shouldn’t be there to pay the liveable wage. It should actually be on top of that. You know, what a tip was originally meant to be.
It’s an Anbernic R353V, a R280V and a Miyoo Mini Plus. Honestly, I love them. Especially the Miyoo has a great form factor, I can play all the old RPGs with one hand.
PS1 is fine, although I’d recommend the 353V for that due to the analogue sticks. And I feel that the more colorful games are better on such small screens than say Tomb Raider or the like. Still lotsa fun.
Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.
