Rockets looking to trade Kevin Porter Jr. following domestic violence allegations, per report in c/nba@lemmy.world
[–] Calvin@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Honestly, they should just cut him. Who would willingly trade for this guy, even if you're getting picks out of it??? This guy is a trash human being for what he did.

Kevin Porter Jr.'s days with the Houston Rockets could be numbered. The 23-year-old guard was arrested for an alleged assault on his girlfriend earlier this week and the Rockets are looking to trade him alongside draft compensation, according to a report from The Athletic's Shams Charania.

How many hours of work do you think you realistically do each day? in c/jobs@lemmy.world
[–] Calvin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Love the breakdown. Anything that requires effort is work, so definitely including managerial stuff!

How many hours of work do you think you realistically do each day? (lemmy.world)
 

Even with a mandatory RTO for several days, I find myself not really getting more actual work done at the office (surprise).

I think when I'm productive and focused, even at home I get maybe 3-4 hours of meaningful tasks accomplished.

Would you rather have all traffic lights you approach be green or never have to stand in line again? (lemmy.world)
 

Let's say the lights change appropriately so there's no risk of it instantly changing and someone already driving having to slam their brakes or somehow hitting you.

And the stand in line one is pretty straight-forward.

I will buy it whenever you put it out! Thank you for making this! in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Likewise, definitely ready to throw money at it!

You'd be an expert in each scenario!

Great mentions!

Al Gore's appearances always make me laugh.

Would you rather have the power of flight or invisibility? (lemmy.world)
 

For flight: you have the ability to fly, let's assume Superman-status.

For invisibility: you can become invisible at will along with your clothes, so no awkward mishaps. You can't make objects invisible though.

Would you rather win the lottery or live twice as long? (lemmy.world)

We'll say the lottery is over $100M USD and the average lifespan is 75. We'll also say that quality of life in terms of your body scales, so if you're 80 you'd have the body of a 40 year old.

Would You Rather - A community to ask each other WYR questions !wouldyourather@lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

!wouldyourather@lemmy.world

lemmy.world/c/wouldyourather

WouldYouRather or “Would you rather” (abbreviated as WYR) is a place to have a conversation that poses a dilemma in the form of a question beginning with “would you rather”.

The OP asks a question or options that are either similarly good or similarly bad and people in the comments discuss how they would answer.

Examples:

WYR have the power of flight or the power of invisibility?
WYR fight 1 horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses?
WYR find true love or be a millionaire?

"Today you... tomorrow me". Love that story and it's searchable on other sites thankfully if you want a heartwarming story.

How many of you have had a mandatory return to office (RTO) ? in c/jobs@lemmy.world
[–] Calvin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oof... My condolences. How have you and your team been handling that? Begrudgingly putting up with it, or is there any chatter of finding a new gig?

How many years have you worked the most for the same employer? in c/jobs@lemmy.world
[–] Calvin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's awesome that you found something you've enjoyed enough to stay that long!

I've actually never been at a position for longer than 2 years (currently at around 6 years of total working experience). Definitely don't think I would've been able to increase my salary at the rate I have without doing so.

However, definitely looking for more long-term stability now lol.

How many of you have had a mandatory return to office (RTO) ? (lemmy.world)
 

Recently found myself in a position where I'm facing a 2-3 day RTO. Definitely wary of a situation where they're forcing us back to 5 days.

Feels like it's becoming more and more common for companies to force a return to office. I've seen everything from an initial 2-3 day hybrid situation to 5 days a week, even for those who've been remote for so long. Would love to hear about others' experience.

How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Calvin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to try my darnedest to not go back on Reddit. I'm sure I'm just a drop in the bucket for them, but it's the principle of the thing. Same thing with Netflix and their recent household bs. Even though I got a discounted plan / free plan for fewer screens with my phone plan, I canceled because I don't want to give them a single cent. I found myself habitually opening Reddit yesterday on my phone and then immediately closing it, so I forced myself to delete Sync :(

Still trying to get used to Lemmy but gotta rip off that Reddit band-aid and start using this more. The biggest thing I'll miss is just how widespread Reddit was. If I had a specific question, typically Googling my question and appending "reddit" at the end would do the trick lol. Hopefully engagement here can slowly build up to that one day.

Selecting "All" - the page keeps loading and scrolling posts - is it possible to pause this? in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
[–] Calvin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't have a solution, but glad someone posted about this. I'm in the same boat and was wondering the same thing, so hoping that commenting will help this get additional reach.

Don't you worry about Planet Express. Let me worry about blank.

How’s everyone liking this so far? in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world
[–] Calvin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Think I'm still trying to get my head around it all, such as trying to join new communities. Trying to take my time to read through guides and such, but so far it's been good!
