Only way to solve a lot of problems with these incumbents.

The ccts has teeth, and you will get a call from the office of the President, and your issue will get resolved.

Minimum wage ≠ Living wage

Minimum wage = "I'd pay you less were I allowed to, but I can't."

That said, it isn't the customers' duty to subsidize wages.

Hell yes it's okay!

Canada doesn't have a server wage like the US; we don't need to import their tipping culture. Moreover, regarding tipping in general: It is the employers' responsibility to pay employees a living wage; it is not the duty of the customer to subsidize wages.

Keep that US bullshit out of this country!

I've only ever really liked the original 2 isometric ones, and Vegas. The Bethesda ones are boring.

Don't forget distribution. It costs money to make a nice cartridge. It costs money to stamp a CD and put it in a pretty box. And that cost applies for every. single. copy.

Now compare that to digital distribution...

Roguelikes, such as Hades. A single run won't take you longer than 30mins (and often far, far less than that – you'll die, a lot).

Every run is progress. And if you feel like you're not progressing fast enough, you can turn on "God Mode" (the protagonist is a god) and gain 2% damage reduction after each death, to make subsequent runs a little easier (no penalty in doing so, either).

"Parental rights"

Code for, "my children are my property to do with as I see fit. I do not respect their agency as an individual."

Better headline: "Tech-illiterate wanks suggest having to verify your identity prior to letting you wank"

I don't mind Trudeau. A significant chunk of the electorate has grown sick of him, though. He needs to step back, or else we'll end up like Ontario with Wynne. She didn't bow out and look at who got in.

Play retro adventure games, or modern Telltale ones.

Dude, with the exception of Gamepass, Linux gaming is really easy.

If you're okay with Redhat/Fedora, using Nobara Linux (it's a spin-off, unofficial, but by the guy who does a lot of the Proton [magic compatibility sauce] stuff, GloriousEggroll, who AFAIK is a dev at RedHat) literally installs everything you need.

Steam → Steam
GoG/Epic → Heroic Launcher
Amazon/Blizzard → Lutris
Gamepass → You have to use the cloud version with Edge browser

Click, install, game.

There's only a few Anticheat PITA titles still (I believe Valorant is one) that won't work.
