  • Ubisoft asking all staff to return to office full-time to "boost the collective performance for AAA"

    Jump

  • I'm super supportive of workmfrom home because I want to work from home myself, but I am also a bit of a manager and understand where these companies are coming from...

    I am a bit of a co-manager and the guy that I split my workload with I just feel like I get taken advantage of because because I have no idea what the fuck he even does most of the day working from home himself. It's sometimes really hard to keep track of what people are working on and how efficient they are doing it when you can't even tell if they just took the day off with pay or not.

  • Netflix will add TikTok-style doomscrolling feed to keep users hooked longer

    Jump

  • Lol

    The fuck do they expect?

    I scroll through Netflix stuff all the time to try and find something to watch and can't find fuck all that's worth my time.

    I've probably spent more time scrolling through the catalogue than watching actual content.

    (Pirated, I'm not actually paying Netflix for the privilege)

  • Discord expands age verification id system to more regions

    Jump

  • I'm only on discord to follow one singular fanfic community

    If they pull this I'll be deleting the app immediately after.

  • EXCLUSIVE: OnePlus Is Being Dismantled

    Jump

  • Ive always loved my OnePlus phones.

    Started with a OP5, which lasted me 4 years until I upgraded to OP9, which lasted another 4 years and now I have an OP13.

    Compared to my Google and Samsung phones which both lasted less then 2 years each.

    My Google Nexus 5 was a beast which also lasted 4 years but then my first pixel shit the bed and never got another Google phone.

    My $1000 Samsung phone's battery shit the bed within a year and the charging port wore down where it wouldn't even charge unless it was in a very specific pressure and resting at a very specific angle.

    Never had a single issue with any of my three OP phones.

  • What are some girl names named after flowers in your country?

    Jump

  • That's interesting, the language bit. I've never really thought much about Irish.

    The word itself changes based on the adjective you want to apply? Or is that uncommon?

    Does that apply for any adjective or only a few? Like would Red rose be a different word? Little Red rose?

  • Trump says he reached Greenland deal ‘framework’ with NATO, backs off Europe tariffs

    Jump

  • All Europe has to do is strong him along with promises for three years (hopefully)

  • Trump is making China – not America – great again, global survey suggests

    Jump

  • America is strong, but it was stronger with friends and allies.

    Trump has isolated America, and although it's still strong on its own it is weaker than ever.

    Any conflict that might arise could end up with more American casualties because there won't be any allies to soften the blow.

  • Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has acknowledged Trump’s letter is real. 🤣

    Jump

  • Wholly run on sentence batman.

    That entire first "paragraph" is a single sentence...

  • Trump is reportedly taking aim at Canada and raising alarms about its ‘vulnerability’

    Jump

  • It's a lot harder for America to accept attacking Canada is the casualties will be 100,000 instead of 10,000

  • Japanese mayor apologises after calling staff 'human scum'

    Jump

  • This guy looks like the epitome of an evil anime villain.

  • Yeah it's pretty shit. My province only recently made it a requirement to provide a minimum of 5 paid sick days to full time staff due to COVID.

    Part timers I believe only get 3 / year.

    Canada is the middleman for everything on the scale of the States being far to one side of the scale and EU being the opposite side, Canada usually sits somewhere in the middle.

  • In Canada you only get 4 weeks after you have worked for the same company/organization for ten years. You only get 3 weeks after 5 years.

    Get a new job after 8 years? Start all over with 2 weeks vacation.

  • Oh nooooooo

    Jump

  • I think we have. In my area many deer during hunting season spend the time within city limits where it's illegal to fire guns. I am pretty sure they've figured it out.

  • The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing

    Jump

  • Honestly I've always just put it down to another fault of the English language being weird. There should be a more concise word for a singular person where the gender is not defined, but there just isn't so people use "they".

    It's acceptable to me if the number of people isn't known but in your case of the doctor I would not find it ideal but acceptable just because there isn't another proper word if you don't want to / can't use the word he/she.

    To me in an ideal world They would strictly be for multiple people or an unknown number, and another word for those who don't identify as he/she or for cases where gender isn't relevant like title professions and whatnot.

  • Ottawa sees dramatic drop in speed compliance after photo radar scrapped

    Jump

  • Absolutely, I have driven with my boss enough to know that he absolutely does not know what a safe speed is.

    Especially when a safe speed for you when you were 40 is probably not the same speed when you are 60 but you are used to driving that way.

  • Ottawa sees dramatic drop in speed compliance after photo radar scrapped

    Jump

  • Enforcement is the issue. If you see everyday on your drive to work dozens of vehicles using the HOV lane when they aren't allowed to, and only ever see a cop pulling someone over once every 4-6 months, how often before you also start using the HOV lane when you aren't supposed to?

  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • I guess that's where you and I differ. I see it as somewhat of a downside, letting a single or a few individuals dictate what everyone on the instance should or shouldn't see. I much prefer individuals having the choice to block what they don't wish to see.

    An instance can be federated over a single unity and then people wouldn't be able to access many other communities that were neutral/okay on that instance.

  • how many of you work 50% and can finance a life on your own?

    Jump

  • Could you go 50% and then use the free time to create some sort of side business?

  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • Individuals could still block them, no?
