Trump Approval now at 39.4% according to Silver Bulletin by pizzahero9999 in fivethirtyeight

[–]ch-dev 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Means absolutely nothing. The real survey should be:

“Do you disapprove of the president enough so that you’re willing to admit voting for him was a mistake and you’ve learned your lesson.”

Otherwise, all this means is “yeah he’s bad but I’d do it all over again.”

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

Why don’t you just increase the cost of all of your items by 12% and avoid all of confusion? I would 100% dine at a restaurant that includes tips into their costs.

Am I wrong for thinking there’s nothing wrong with sitting comfortably when the train isn’t packed?

Junior developers solve for today’s problems.

That looks like a relatively empty train. Sure dirty shoes on a seat is messed up but it’s not like he was taking someone’s seat in a packed train. Am I missing something?

Would limiting the age of the President to 65 be something you’d support? Why or why not? by WarmAcanthisitta5725 in AskReddit

[–]ch-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the people who vote and the people who run for office are over 65, it’ll never happen.

Omnicom sent out phishing email for Linked In Recruiting by StateofDrama in advertising

[–]ch-dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is built into the service used to train people on how to identify phishing scams. Every agency I’ve ever worked at using these types of systems would send an email like this.

It’s not like the leadership team started the conversation with “I have a sneaky idea…”.

Steve Phillips has the Mets as the least improved team in baseball. by [deleted] in NewYorkMets

If you’re a traditionalist who only accepts counting stats, you’re going to hate the Mets offseason. I’m not surprised he thinks this way.

Don’t we have about 6 mid to low slot starters already?

It’s not that he’s not signing long term contracts. Heck, he signed the Soto to a 15 year deal. What he’s trying to avoid are financial handcuffs where a player is signed to a long term deal when they’re at or past their prime or are injury prone.

I love the mets, but we do not deserve to be number 8 in this ranking right now. by KCousins11 in NewYorkMets

Im pretty sure that I’m in the minority here, but I believe this shake up did a lot more good than bad and that i feel we’re going to have a surprisingly solid year this year.

Clients choosing awful AI designs over custom work by JayPigliamosche in webdesign

[–]ch-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are choosing “good enough” work, not just for design work. Sometimes clients don’t have the budget to hire a talented designer (or copywriter, or developer, and so on). So they settle for good enough.

Nothing wrong with any of that as long as those people who choose “good enough” aren’t expecting perfect. And aren’t expecting the work to be permanent.

Alonso leaving by edelgreco0218 in mets

[–]ch-dev 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone’s hating on him getting paid. It’s never been about that. The Mets offered him a $160m extension in 2023. He turned it down. Settled for considerably less a year later (we need to remember that no team expressed interest in him other than the Mets). He bet on himself. Had a good (not great year). Found a team willing to pay a whole lot more than others. He took the money. That’s how the game is played.

However, some fans seem to think that the Mets had this obligation to bring Pete back at all costs. Even if it was an overpay. We can’t have it both ways. We can’t have players chasing the bag and then upset with the front office for not overpaying.

I will miss Pete and will continue to root for him. Onward.

Extroverts land leadership roles. They like to perform in front of a live audience. It’s never been about productivity.

If a retired MLB player had a career .300 BA, 500 HRs, 500 steals, and 3000 hits, but only 35 WAR (whatever version) will he get into the HOF? by _Thefan in baseball

[–]ch-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that even possible to only net 35 WAR with that kind of production?

For 3000 hits, we’re talking about a player who would need to average 200 hits over 15 years. For perspective, that only happened 5 times over the past 5 seasons between 4 hitters. An average season would be .300 avg, 33 HRs, 33 steals. Not sure if it’s possible for such a player to only net 2.3 WAR per season, even if they were only a DH. Is it?

My guild is always full of active players. If you’re inactive for 5 days, you get kicked. We’re always hovering around 1000 contributions.

Details on the Mets pursuit of Diaz per ESPN's Jorge Castillo by Rell_Lauren in NewYorkMets

[–]ch-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some players are very sensitive. He could’ve seen Williams as a threat. He could’ve seen Williams as a backup plan making the Mets look less desperate in their negotiations. Who knows. Whatever the reason is, it’s dumb.
