I could’ve been more clear and I hope I have been at this point. Hopefully we’ve helped some other see things differently.

My experience suggests that there is a difference between most places, places with substance users. Places that make mistakes at hiring and maybe someone does drugs once or twice in the walk in before being caught.

And places where people are using drugs in the walk in while leaving evidence and it is to the point the owner has to investigate because the chef/coworker/manager hasn’t already brought this to the owners attention.

Therefore this place appears to be the latter, a place with lesser standards.

I guess this could point to the higher standards thing you mentioned.

I sound defensive because the thought of my walk in being contaminated by drugs and their paraphernalia gets under my skin.

Do that stuff outside like the rest of us.

Doing whip its in the walk in mid shift while leaving evidence without anyone noticing?

Sure man I guess. My decades in the industry say otherwise but idc enough to argue.

Edit: I’m not saying that mistakes aren’t made at hiring but if it’s a big enough problem the owner has to get involved it’s not just a hiring thing.

The owner seems to have had to get involved. Not the chef, not some manager. The one in charge of raises.

I guess I did care enough to argue

There’s a difference between a food service place with substance users (most) and one that hires people that can get away doing whip its mid shift in the walk in and still keep their job.

Since this is apparently the latter; I’d say it’s just an excuse.

Bestaa is correct in that they greatly diminish the propagation of radio waves. They are not perfect faraday cages but a lot of the better insulated walk ins are very difficult to get radio waves into them. Cell service, walkie talkies, WiFi, GPS.

I’ve never walked into a walk in where my service wasn’t significantly impacted.

Not sure what you’re on about.

It’s the equivalent of Persona 5 being followed by Persona 5 Royal with its added content.

You definitely get it. Pure satire.

You make good points. I was not completely clear in my post.

There are situations where what you say is true. (Were they setup that way intentionally though, for this very reason? Don’t think we will ever truly know.) There are certain multiplayer focused games that could be destroyed by client side affirming. I get that there are legitimate situations that makes this difficult for corps.

There are licensing issues as well but so many games face this and many offer “streamer friendly” options where the licensing of the music isn’t an issue.

Many of these live service/ server dependent games are completely completable single player and they could disable any licensed music/ multiplayer licensed components? Most of them are P2P anyway like Helldivers 2.

These are the ones I draw issue with.

Edit: to your point of multiple servers; why couldn’t we host the required servers privately if they so wished?

Why is this too much to ask? (I get the Capitalist why)

I feel like a lot of my grievances with live service games, outside of predatory mtx, is this inevitable endpoint of losing this game and all your achievements/ experiences/ progress.

This could also help solve a lot of Ross Scott’s (yt: accursed farms) lawsuits against live service games. In their case, The Crew

Let us host this ourselves if we wish. From a corporate perspective You can always lock the updated latest and greatest behind your currently supported game.

I know the reality is greed

You said it yourself. Co-pays, and deductibles.

You’re right. Imagine yourself or a dependent having complicated medical issues. Well actually, don’t imagine it. It’s a nightmare. Worst part of the illness is dealing with the insurance no doubt.

You seem oblivious to the realities of most insurance plans in the US.

Thank you for providing some reason. I’m glad the person you’re replying to has never had crappy insurance before. This bill is completely within the US standards especially with a high deductible plan.

I would be spooning my dog who is on the other end of the couch. If this was a competition I’d submit my outcome for winner or at least most wholesome. Some of y’all’s are definitely more funny though.

Not the person you were replying to. The word you were looking for was solitude. Very good English otherwise!
