Should the minimum wage be lower for workers who get tipped? Two states are set to decide in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] john89@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

If they make more with tips, then they don't get to complain when somebody doesn't tip them.

plus the minimum 20% tax tip

Where are you eating that has a 20% minimum tip? I've only seen stuff like that for big groups.

You got a lot of people from the 'pro-tip' crowd glad to say "I make more with tips!" whenever someone suggest replacing tips with fair wages.

If they make more with tips, then they also have to deal with not getting tipped from people like me.

I never tip. Tipping culture should die.

Misleading title, the company must still pay its workers.

What's your favorite Ratchet & Clank game? (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm replaying through all of them up to A Crack In Time a second time. It's nice to be able to see these games through a critical lens. As a kid I guess I just implicitly thought Up Your Arsenal would be the best cause it was the 'newest', but I'm noticing it's actually a pretty weak entry. The online mode was fun, and I guess as I kid I just didn't notice how much the single-player took a hit. Still a fun game, though.

I'd say right now, probably the first one is my favorite. For some reason, it just feels like they put more effort into it than the others. The tone of the game seems quieter and more natural than the other ones. While I love the environments in each entry, it's the first one that felt like the environments and navigating them took a bigger part compared to blowing up robots. I also like Ratchet's personality in the first one, even though he was criticized for being kinda mean. The transition to a 'nicer' Ratchet in subsequent games feels a little muffled, like they're making him something he wasn't supposed to be.

I haven't played A Crack in Time or past it because it doesn't work on RPCS3.

That blows.

Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] john89@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I recommend watching Undone especially if you liked Bojack Horseman; it's created by the same guy.

You can stream it for free here: https://hydrahd.com/ or check out the c/piracy wiki for one that suits you.

Mushishi is fantastic.

Undone, it's created by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.

I think most people haven't seen/heard of it because it's an amazon streaming exclusive, but you can watch it (and most other things) for free here: https://hydrahd.com/

That would be nice.

California bans legacy admissions in all colleges, universities in c/news@lemmy.world

Didn't even know 'legacy admissions' were a thing.

Higher education is truly a scam.

Iran launches missiles at Israel, IDF says in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] john89@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

The thing is, Israel is seen as 'strategic' to Western (mostly US) interests in the region.

Having a haven for Jews doesn't make sense when they're surrounded by enemies. If people really cared about the safety of Jews, they would have pushed to establish communities in the US.

Which gaming laptops have the best hinges? (lemmy.ca)
 

Broken hinges legitimately should not be a thing, but here we are (thanks capitalism.)

Which gaming laptops can people buy and be sure that their hinges will not break even after many years of normal use? I'm fine with paying more if it avoids repairing or replacing it before it's past its usefulness.
