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.

I’ll tip at a coffee shop if I order something that they need to make that I know
a) Takes time
b) Takes skill
Drip coffee? No tip.
Pre-baked good? No tip.
Bag of beans? No tip.
Combination order – custom $amount (not percentage!) tip based on the value of the custom drink only (no need to inflate the tip from the +$25 for the bag of beans).
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.
In regards to campaign promises:
Trudeau (1050 promises)
Not yet rated (4%)
In progress (9%)
Kept (42%)
Partially kept (25%)
Broken (20%)
That’s, actually not terrible.
I’m fully aware of the backlash. It’s DISGUSTING. Scabs should be run out of town and forced to live destitute.
Keep that US bullshit out of this country!
I think the larger content creators will push back against this, precisely due to the timestamp issue.
The other issue is that people who plan to retire at x year will fucking riot if it turn into y year. I’m one of them.
No but content owners could directly DMCA stuff that’s hosted on usenet, they just don’t.
They absolutely do, which is why the vast, vast majority of content is obfuscated, necessitating the use of indexers.
Depends on the seat. I’ve bought some that lasted 10yrs (previous kid). The one in this instance was a 5yr cheaper one.
Yes. And using an expired seat with your child is against the law (and obviously unsafe), and the fine isn’t small.
Bought a car seat for my toddler. Opened it, manufactured date was 4 years ago! That is, it would EXPIRE in 4mo.
So, I go to return it, and the returns counter guy said they don’t take care seat returns and that it’s not defective! Got absolutely nowhere with him, ended up having to go to a different location and the person there had kids and understood the issue. Ugh.
There’s precedent: MLB Lockout. No ball games on TV, people found other things to do.
It took years to recover.
You assume, incorrectly, that people will always care about said professional teams/sports.
A lot of the “care” is in the communal activity of watching a game together with one’s mates. Take the convenience of that away, and people will find something else to do.
The leagues won’t survive if paywalls go up. Watching your team “for free” via OTA broadcast TV is how they got so big in the first place. CBC’s HNIC was huge. More and more, if there are barriers to watching something, many people prior just won’t bother.
Fair enough. Took me a while to convince my buddies otherwise (judge me all you want, American makes great grilled cheese)
extruded plastic masquerading as a dairy-like substance
I assume that you’re referring to Kraft singles, or “American” cheese: It’s just cheese, dude; mixed with a chemical (sodium citrate) to help it bind to water. The FDA refuses to allow it to be called cheese, due to the percentages involved (it’s literally mostly water). Regardless, no plastic after you take the wrapper off.
The Montreal-based chemist/YouTuber NileBlue made American cheese recently in a video.
Meanwhile, there’s people in that landlocked province who want sovereignty from the rest of Canada. Go try to drink your oil.
Android has root, you just gotta put in a little bit of work, and give up your Google App goodies like RCS chat and Pay. (you can get them working too, but Google’s getting better at detection/blacklisting spoofed device fingerprints making it a cat and mouse pain)
And employers who use it have a top-up-to-minimum requirement, when applicable.
