Tipping

Reply in thread

Well, they would be making the legal minimum wage in their area since their tipped wage does not meet or exceed minimum wage per hours worked. Still not a liveable wage, especially considering the amount of unclocked labor that occurs in the food service industry.

Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open

Reply in thread

Kind of impossible when a company like Valve has hardware purchasing power which means RAM and NVME are bought at a less absurd price.

It's also worth mentioning that you can't really upgrade a Steam Machine down the line when it starts to feel underwhelming in a couple years, given its 8GB VRAM/RDNA3 architecture. I wouldn't say it's overpriced but I wouldn't say it offers much value either. It just has quirks (software & formfactor).

Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash

Reply in thread

So the estimated 8781 people with the Guillemot name and others with the variations "Guilaume, Guillaume, Guilaum, Guillamauax, Guillemot, Guillaumie, Guillaumes, Guillaumaud, Guillaumaut, Guillaumard, Guillaumart, De Guillaume" are all evil slaver beneficiaries?

I just can't find anything else on the lineage or where the Ubi Guillamot-brothers' parents' wealth came from.

Asking your favorite LLM to whisk up a comment to post is easier than thinking up a comment for yourself. However, it would be easier for you to simply not comment at all.

So, in the interest of ease and convenience, we ask you to not comment if all you have to say is an LLM regurgitation.

Thanks.

on the male loneliness epidemic

Reply in thread

You are thinking about the actual meaning of the male loneliness epidemic, whereas many people online are thinking about the buzzword loneliness epidemic which has been peddled in manospheres as "women hate men so we can't get laid."

You're not stupid, you just can't see the bottom of the hole from all the way up here.

Rule

People are impressed that there are no ANALs, but considering that all ALANs are around the border, the only conscious decisions past that point were the four letters in the center.

It's not really that impressive.

Good question

Greater intentionality in mundane things. Wanted to go somewhere? Mark it on the map. Photos? You only have so much film left. Trying to remember a phone number, address, passcode, note? 9 times out of 10, you'd write it down and carry it with you.

Smartphones are a technological miracle but we lost a lot of intention through the convenience, which has pros and cons.
