EU doesn’t say anything about livable minimum wages. That is up to each member country to decide for themselves.
Not even everyone in EU have an actual minimum wage.
Minimum wages is NOT why tipping isn’t customary in Europe.
Here’s the problem. You think you know what you’re talking about. But you don’t. It just sounds nice in your head and so you start to believe your own bullshit.

“There’s no way to prevent this” - Says the only country where this happens regularly.
It’s not a “Capitalism” problem. It’s a USA problem.

They honestly probably don’t care much about the outcome.
But they do have to challenge it as soon as they find out, otherwise it could be used against them in future cases.

I know they are unverified stories. But I have spent a decent amount of time in the US and everyone I know personally have a similar story of someone being suspended for something stupid.
This is simply a catalyst for those memories of mine.

As an outsider, it’s wild to me that you can/could get suspended from school so easily.

That was exactly how I felt I was treated when I was 20 and visited the US.
Asked for a small Cup of coffee in Starbucks, and the girl asked me 3 times if I was absolutely sure I wanted it without cream and sugar.

WW2, might seem like a long time ago. But it really isn’t. We have video footage of Hitler himself. Performing this exact routine.
Would you like me to spoon-feed you a side by side comparison?

No. It’s a woman aggressively fighting a nazi. As one should.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s literally, a nazi salute. And I don’t use the word literally often.
The only thing disturbing aside from the salute is people like you defending it
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Don’t point to a swastika and tell me it’s a windmill.
What was performed, is a textbook nazi salute. Start to finish.

Or summer.

Wake up middle of the “night”, sun is out.

Just because others have it worse, doesn’t mean you should settle for slightly better than terrible.

I read your comment. I didn’t downvote.
I’m using the “you” in the colloquial sense, i see that wasn’t apparent to you. (You as in you the singular individual)
I understand you are against kernel level anti cheat. That’s ok. That’s an opinion. But your argument that it’s some kind of secret which games have it or not, is not a matter of opinion. It’s verifiable. And It’s just not true. It’s not a secret. You can easily find out if you want to.
You can make the argument that platforms should make publishers divulge that information on the games page. And I say sure, why not.
But it always will be your responsibility to make sure you know what you’re installing.
Unfortunately. It is an armsrace against cheaters. And 1 single cheater can easily ruin the entire experience for hundreds of players. I understand why games might want it. I hope they can find more clever ways of detecting cheats without it.
As a final word. Lemmy is a big place. It’s utterly ridiculous of you to assume I’m the one who downvoted.
- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 1 month ago:
People need to take responsibility of their own machines.
While they might not hold out a sign that says “KERNEL LEVEL ANTI CHEAT”. There is information available to make an informed decision.
Your cake and fork argument makes no sense at all. The game company isn’t telling you what you can and can’t do with your hardware. But they are telling you what you will be installing. It’s there if you know where to look. And if you don’t know where to look. You have the combined knowledge of the world at your fingertips for guidance.
I don’t know what you do. But when I buy a cake. I look at the ingredients to see what and how much it contains of various things. If I don’t like what I see, I won’t be buying it. Because I certainly won’t be eating it.
And I’m also not going to buy a plastic fork to eat it with. See how I made that decision. The cake company didn’t make me buy a certain fork, and the fork company didn’t make me buy a certain cake. I decide.
It’s ultimately your responsibility to understand what you are installing. Information is available.
- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 1 month ago:
No one is forcing you to install their game.
It’s so easy to look up what kind of anti cheat games use.
You can’t eat the cake and have it too.
They don’t have a right to install anything without your consent. However. You pressed the “Install” button. And you boxed in “I understand” and clicked “I agree”.

Did you know. That every single year. Millions of people are born that has never heard of Jaguar. Because why would they?
Last time I ever heard someone talk about Jaguar was 20 years ago when they sold their f1 team.
Prior to that. I have not given them as much as a single thought. So yes. Them changing their logo certainly did what it was supposed to do. Get people to talk about Jaguar.
- Comment on You know what, fuck you [un-Jags uar icon] 2 months ago:
It’s not the first time they’ve made a “drastic” change.
As a matter of. They’ve had a logo similar to this before in the 50’s. With just the word “Jaguar”.
You have the world’s combined knowledge at your fingertips. And you choose to be ignorant and blur out something so stupid as “But it’s the first time they’ve made a change as drastic as this.”
- Comment on You know what, fuck you [un-Jags uar icon] 2 months ago:
Why would no one recognize it? Hardly the first time they’ve changed their logo.
- Comment on You know what, fuck you [un-Jags uar icon] 2 months ago:
First step is increasing brand recognition. No one will buy if they don’t know you exist.

You’re all making fun of it but this new style did exactly what it intended to do. Everyone is talking about them now.

Oh don’t get me wrong. We got living wages for all full time jobs. Including waiters. We just don’t have a minimum wage (officially). It’s sorted out by the unions.

As a European. What are you talking about? That’s certainly not the case in my part of Europe. And we don’t even have a minimum wage. (Officially)

Football violence is very real though. Let’s not forget that and make sure we are in good safe areas when out.
I’m sure my friend took me to a place that he knows had good people in it knowing I’d wear my country’s shirt.
- Comment on Anon lives in Japan 6 months ago:
I was in the UK, watching a football game between my country and England in a pub with an English friend. I had a team shirt on. It was a good game, a close game, in the minutes we lost and England won.
I Shake some hands and go to the bathroom. I have to shit, go to a stall, and just as I’m about to close someone pushes the door open, forcing themselves in. Life is flashing before My eyes, my entire body shakes from all the adrenaline now pumping, I’m ready to fight or die trying.
He says (drunk off his mind) “YOU STOOD UP DURING YOUR ANTHEM! I RESPECT THAT! GOOD GAME!! GOOD GAME!!” as he reaches to shake my hand and pat my arm, “yeah man good game, sorry but I need to shit mate”
I thought I was about to die, stabbed and beat to death in a toilet. When it was just a drink Britt trying to be nice.
I’ve never been so happy that my country lost a game as that night (Mt shirt also bought me a lot of beers, felt like I needed them after thinking I was about to die)
