So hyperbole than.

Source?

Right. That's why I said partly false. Perhaps, "not the whole truth" would be better working? By stating the cities vote left and leaving it at that implies they always vote left, when they don't. All I was saying. Thanks.

This is partly false. Edmonton and Calgary vote blue federal and usually orange for provincial. Results from the last federal election https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6183209

Provincial - https://globalnews.ca/news/9633315/live-alberta-election-results-2023-vote/

Which I think has a lot to do with union and provincial government employees. But I'm just another stupid Albertan.

I don't know anything about how that stuff works. But considering it's on Steam and has no dedicated servers you choose and it's cross platform would it not have to talk to a lot of different servers simultaneously? Like, I can squad up with my buddies from the UK while I'm in Canada and also have someone on ps5 in the USA. None of them experience lag. Seems like it isn't your normal every day "net code" most other games would have to accomplish

They really aren't. The labor that went into it is already paid in full, even if what the labor created earns for another 20 years, that labor won't see another dime for it. Can't steal what isn't there

Final Space, nothing beats it for me. I'll be empty and hollow until Olan releases the graphic novel they're letting him license to finish off the story from season 3 since it was cancelled with one of the time warner mergers.

Vox Machina and Chernobyl(HBO) were close contenders though.

Not American. But even if I were, no I wouldn't tip. It's not my responsibility to pay someone's wage while the business opens up at another 2 locations in my city

I never implied it was "admirable". I shouldn't have to supplement a workers shitty pay, so I don't. What makes a waiter/waitress more entitled to a tip over someone who stocks shelves at a grocery store or works in the fast food industry? Also I'm not American, shocking I know. If an employer isn't going to pay their staff a proper wage in your country then that's between the employer and employee

I think I'm in the smallest minority, but I haven't tipped in close to a decade. When people ask me why, I answer with the question "when was the last time you tipped your grocer l, fast food window attendant or the person at the hardware store that brought out your 100lbs of lumber? " answer is always never and I say exactly.

So everything you listed is something scheduled. Something people prepare for. Water suddenly not working is neither of those things. Ignorant take

You do you. I'll keep enjoying my cheaper internet. Have a good one
