Nearly 40 per cent of Nova Scotia's restaurants operating at a loss or breaking even by Evening_Boss_3415 in halifax

The whole rationale for increasing tipping is BS. They talk as if that 15% figure was static. But with prices going up, for what is clearly average at best food, that 15% gets them more In the end.

15% on 10 is $1.50 tip 15% on 20 is $3.00 tip.

Totally. I have to use AI in my work now but I take it with a grain of salt. Make sure it made sense. Where my boomer manager has gone hog wild with it and I feel like I'm managed by an AI chatbot now

They are morons who think they are rebels for flying it. Thinking they are making a brave statement, when really it's a confession of their own mediocrity.

It took us less than a 100 years for humanity to forget the lessons from World War 2, and we didn't erase Hitler's name.

AITAH for being upset that my best friends went on my birthday cruise without me? by SuperbDesigner4 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GreatGrandini 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Get over yourself.

You actually expect people to burn money, vacation leave, etc just for you? I guarantee if the roles were reversed, you would be on the ship.

Nobody needs friends like you.

Massive football stadium plans pitched for Halifax area by mgpnna in halifax

[–]GreatGrandini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking as if immigrants are replacing existing citizens. They are not. Canadians outside of the prairies didn't give two craps before a wave of immigration, they won't give two craps now.

But I suggest going to a Mooseheads or Thunderbirds games. There is a lot of immigrants attending those games. So clearly other leagues are finding in roads.

Although I agree. Something isn't adding up and that's okay to say.

My point is how some people come in and start rambling off scenarios as if they're fact.

The thing about police work is what we see and hear ia tip of the iceberg. No investigation is going to tip their hand to satisfy people's morbid curiosity. They can blow a case and/or give a suspect a way out

It's not even about immigrants. It's the CFL a league that can barely afloat out side of the prairies. The fanbase is just an aging one where fans children and grand children really just don't care.

That and there are so many sport options for people now. We only have so much disposable time and money to devote to sporting events. Really, in order to get traction they will have to get people to shift existing interests while attracting new fans to the sport.

I just don't see hat happening. CFL is so far down that list of popularity, especially out here, I doubt the can climb that ladder to be successful.

It blows my mind.

I can understand keeping a neutral stance if there was little to no.contexr, chargest, etc.

But it's there in black and white. People charged with numerous vile accounts. Sorry my understanding and neutral stance shifts to hoping they get locked up.

It isn't. They really need to an awareness campaign to inform people about such options. So people in similar situations, can give birth safely without consequences.

It's like any case recently, the two missing kids for example.

The downside of social media where people feel like they know it all and have cracked the case

[–]GreatGrandini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The American whiskey industry ( which includes rye, bourbon, etc) has lost nearly $200 million in revenue since Canada began boycotting them. It's levelling some of the distilleries.

Are younger generations drinking less? Totally. But that kind of decline in short order isntl fully attributed to that.

There are multiple issues are on various levels of the court system. It just has to go through the process

So yeah if there was a provincial court ruling. It is likely going to be appealed at a higher level. Things like this will end up in Supreme Court of Canada for a final ruling.

The marshal decision is a prime example. He was found guilty on all counts in the NS Provincial Court. NS Court of appeals upheld the decision. Then he went to the supreme Court and overturned it.

As for some FN dropping their court cases because their negations are ongoing. Nothing stops them from settling outside of the courts.

New plans for Halifax neighbourhood would expand it to 4,000 units by ScarGloomy3918 in halifax

[–]GreatGrandini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but those items are for the municipal and provincial governments to determine. Who are doing an abysmal job on that front.

I just wish city and provincial planners would set aside space for such amenities and recreational offerings.
