...was fired at...

Gotta love a passive voice so passive that it doesn't even clarify that she was shot and killed and not merely "fired at".

I didn't mind Reddit gold as a method of paying for upkeep on an ostensibly free site. If well-off Redditors wanted to chip in to help with maintenance resulting in fewer or less intrusive ads then that's grand.

The point when they started losing me was when the Reddit front page modernised into the Instagram feed looking abomination it is today and when they shifted from Reddit gold to the silver diamond thing they have now. No I don't want to make an avatar. No I don't want to follow users or have them follow me.

It started as the last example of old social media like forums and got metric'd into this half-formed freak of a site that seems to actively resent the users that build and maintain their entire platform.

You don't think House of the Dead was a cinematic masterpiece? Tsk tsk! Poor taste I say!

I'm not disagreeing with you because I know terms like classic are entirely relative but holy shit referring to fortnight as a classic nearly triggered a mid-life crisis. Holy hell. Ow.

Hear hear. Soul was a great movie because it was fun for kids but spoke to adults. Pixar does that a lot. A good kids movie is just a good movie that's appropriate for children. Sure you can feed kids entertainment slop and it might even make bank but if you're trying to make a film and not just a vehicle for the line to go up then slop is not it.

Hale is an incredible VA and she has had more roles than there are grains of sand.

It's also funny when she voices multiple characters in the same game like Killer Frost and Hawk Girl in Injustice.

It also removes any sense or individuality. Contrasted with clones who frequently customised their armour.

Two best examples were:

  • Total War censoring the username Nasser to N***er

  • Gamefreak banning their own Pokemon (Cofagrigus) from online play unless you renamed it first.

The owners do not give half a shit if you tip their workers or not. They get their tipout regardless.

You can actually help by tackling tipping culture on a city/province/state level. You're not doing anything by stiffing your server besides saving yourself money and costing your server. If you don't go out to restaurants then whether your tip or not is no one's concern.

Otherwise you're still rewarding tipping culture by patronising venues that pay their workers a sub-livable wage.

You've clearly never worked as or known anyone working as a server holy shit lmfao

I'm sure your server will understand. They're usually the ones in charge of decisions like these. /s

Unless your server has to tip out (which they all do) and so by choosing to hit that 0% your server now has to pay to serve you.
