Cab drivers have been way too sketchy where I live for my entire life.

Rideshares let me call them through an app, track my ride by GPS, let me see the full fare (including all taxes and fees) up-front, and always let me make 100% of my payment by credit card without complaint from the driver.

If taxis offered that where I live, Uber would’ve been dead on arrival like it is in Korea.

Man, people downvoted this like you didn’t post it in NoStupidQuestions! Lol

And when politicians make things “simpler”, it works against the interests of the people! Lol

I tip 15% to all service employees.

My rule of thumb is to tip more to service workers that incur more personal expenses.

Restaurant workers? 10~15%. (They make at least minimum wage where I live just like takeout/fast food workers. I wish I could tip them 0% culturally)

Barbers/hairstylists? 15~20%.

Rideshare drivers get 20% minimum or more if it’s a cheap fare.

…a haircut/trim is $80 where you live?

It’s under $30 where I live, and some places are cheaper.

I wonder how it compares to meat consumption, personal vehicles, air conditioning, cheap manufacturing in poorer countries, fast fashion, the internet and its infrastructure…

I’m glad to see people talking about the environment, but I have no idea how AI usage compares to other things that are destroying the environment.

In Canada, wait time depend on urgency. Booking an appointment usually results in a short wait (or occasionally even being seen at the scheduled time). I have booked same-day appointments, and booking out a week or two is common for me for things that aren’t urgent.

But what have you done to the Somalis in Minnesota that would make them want to kill you? Lol

I dunno, regular people can barely handle walking sometimes. Driving is especially hard.

What do most of your veins do?

I could just be paranoid but I’m fairly convinced the responses weren’t from patriotic citizens.

… patriotic citizens? Lol… citizens of where, the world? The internet?

That said, your question was probably answered. Lemmy.ml users can be a bit much

I think y’all are getting into semantics here. There are different definitions, colloquially, of port and sequel. Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out on the NES might be neither a sequel nor a port depending on the definitions.

The ones that did better on consoles

This is what OP was asking about

I’m sure the rest of your comment is helpful and informative, but that first sentence got you a downvote from me.

You can add to someone’s point or even correct them without telling them they can’t talk about something.

He’s not the reason why the civilised world sneers at 'Murica, but he’s a huge symptom of it

As a Canadian, I used to sneer at the US like one would sneer at an immature sibling.

Now, “Made in the USA” feels dirty. I don’t feel like the USA can recover its place of former global respect in my lifetime.

You saying FF6 is not a core one that people know about makes me feel less bad about saying FF8 is in my bottom 2 of FF rankings, lol

I think you missed this reply

With a lot of companies no longer doing physical games, then would that give rise to more Piracy?

Probably about the same. People always find a way.

How will video game preservation work then?

Games are just data, whether physical or digital. What gets lost is the servers for online functionality an such.

“Potato is and noodles” of course.

Hah! I guess Sony argues that “who bought what” is not a “critical business purpose”…

I’m not here to defend the corporations.

Email addresses are PII under GDPR, aren’t they? So linking email addresses to purchase history is explicitly retaining PII and data about someone they can identify.
