Depends on where I'm at. In the U.S. (where I'm from), I would personally tip. I also tipped in Mexico when I vacationed there recently. I wouldn't tip in a no-tip/offensive-tip country (e.g. France).

This would be cool to see! Especially since, due this current saga of games, she’s had a more important role towards the story! I just don’t see Nintendo making a third TOTK/BOTW release but hey, who knows!

Wow. I didn't think about that. Holy heck. Let me just take my wife, my brother, my parents, and move half way across the map where, the cost of living will be lower but the cost of salary will be exponentially lower; because a stranger on the internet told me to! Shouldn't take me more than a week to uproot my whole life and move somewhere else. Thanks fam!!! 😀

(Major /s, if you already haven't noticed)

It's his world, we're just living in it 🤣

Super agreed. We used to be a country where a janitor was able to get a house for themselves and their kids, and provide for a family on a single income. I'm basing this off of a real example too lol! My middle school janitor in Queens, NYC is a dope dude. Granted things are different now, the population size is expanding and there is a space/space-to-person ratio crisis, but that can't mean that engineering apprentices, or technicians, or low-volt electricians have to live making < $50k (explicit examples that I've seen in my HCOL area). There once was a gradient for a middle class, now it's just either high income or broke lol.

Very very very much agreed. The financial constraints caused by the rich force the middle class engineer look the other way and cut corners.

I'm sorry if I'm being dumb but I don't get what you're asking. I work as a unionized engineer and then always try to keep a second side hustle job (cashier, waiter, etc.). When I was a non-union engineer I saw third party companies hiring people that were underqualified and across the globe, remotely taking jobs. As a waiter/cashier however, I didn't see this at all. Although I was working minimum wage so I don't think anyone would necessarily ask lower.

The point I was trying to make is that, when I was making $35 an hour non-unionized, firms would offer to have remote engineers for $30 an hour. So now I'm effectively "over" market rate, and am at risk of being fired. This weakens my ability to earn for my family. If the latter didn't exist, I could have asked for $40 an hour even. Thankfully I'm now unionized at around that rate so I'm okay. But for my friends that aren't minimum wage, but aren't flying stacks of money rich, they are constantly at risk of just being another budget issue.

Nice! I can't wait to see it on its realistic timeline of Fall 2021! :)

I don't think the protesters were upset or concerned that they got arrested. After reading the article, it seems that the students fully knew what they were protesting for.

The only person that seemed shocked or surprised was the professor who commented that "...this is more horrifying than anything I’ve ever seen here”.

Edit: I also wanted to add that the Civil Rights movement was taught to me, I was in high school within this decade, but just like any other irresponsible, nascent high schooler I was daydreaming about my crush and just not paying attention to anything. The many self-faults of man.
