I prefer that to anime where they show the protagonist’s pre-teen sister, but say that despite her looks she is actually 18 and adopted.

I have not been following the Warriors signings but maybe they have? I wonder if saying that Draymond was taking a pay cut for LeBron was just cover for a salary cap dodge.

The Warriors asked him to opt out of his contract and offered him a new contract offer that covered what he was losing out on (plus a bit of cash for his troubles). Once he opted out, they used the cap room to sign a couple more players. When they were set, they filled in the date on Dray’s new contact and paid him with Bird Rights money.

The person being searched should have refused to provide any password. US courts have agreed that the right not to be a witness against yourself means that you can refuse to answer questions about your password, since it is forcing you to confess to knowing the correct password to unlock a phone.

I believe that that is what the person’s lawyer is arguing, that he was never told of his right to stay silent, so the password is illegally seized evidence, and anything that law enforcement found based on the evidence is also inadmissible in court.

From what I have read, that that is the amount Green would have been paid if he had used the player option in last year’s contract to extend for an additional year. Not giving him that much would have been a dick move by Golden State. The team convinced him to end his contract early so that they would have space to sign LeBron. Since they failed to sign LeBron, the team allowed Green to un-terminate his contact.

By allowing this, Golden State can act talk about how they treat their players well and reward a player for taking a sacrifice for the good of the team. If they had not agreed to this deal, next time they ask a player to agree to a team friendly deal, the player would be thinking “Dray took less money to play on a better team but all he ended up with was a worse team and a pay cut.”

Pokemon Legends Arceus. I rage quit after playing more than 200 hours.

On paper, it is the best Pokemon game for me. I can complete the in-game collection without having to trade with other versions of the same game. The end-game is moderately grindy and gives a fun sense of progress (catch 15 of this pokemon, defeat 20 of that one with ice attacks).

Unfortunately, the spawn rates are very very broken. When you first enter an area of a map, it is swarming with creatures, but as you catch or defeat them, they do not respawn. It takes some combination of distance and in-game time to get a map to repopulate so I have to travel away for several minutes, travel back, and then find that the map only partially refilled. Plus, there seems to be some sort of back-off that reduces the spawn rate of rare Pokemon the more often I clear a zone in quick succession which only resets when I teleport back to the hub area and teleport back. It is all very painful when certain Pokemon seem to have a 5 or 10% chance of spawning and the game asks me to catch 15 of them and then defeat 20 more.

And don’t get me started on Space-Time Distortions, random events where a small part of the map gets unique creatures for a short while. The game does not explain how often they are supposed to occur, that certain player actions (like battling) pause the timer, and that in-game weather events can reset it. A player can wait hours for a distortion to appear before looking up the formula online and being told that the best strategy is too load into a map, put down the game for exactly 5 minutes, and if a distortion is not starting, teleport out of the map and back in, wasting a minute looking at loading screens.

Overall, it is so frustrating that I cannot imagine it is all intentional, but that it is caused by bugs that the developers never patched. I have heard that it is fixed in the new Pokemon Legends.

I am blissfully ignorant of what you are talking about. I assume that the first amendment auditors are just doing it to earn social media creator revenue, so the best thing you can do is to just block them. When you see people reposting their content or discussing them, just downvote and move on. It will starve them of attention and then starve them of food until they find a better way to spend their time.

The only part of my hair grooming that is “for myself” is trimming my mustache so food does not get caught in it.

Everything else is is for looks and other people look at me much more often than I look at myself. Even when I see myself in a mirror, I try to see myself as others would see me. My wife is the person that looks at me the most and is the person whose opinion is most important to me, so I ask for her opinion about how I groom myself.

There was a recent study that took MRIs of people over the age of 40, with and without shoulder pain. In 99% of cases, there was a shoulder abnormality. It was just that most people did not feel it or were not bothered by it.

I assume the plan with Embid is that the team should not need him until the playoffs. During the regular season, he can play light minutes and take frequent rest days, just enough to keep him in shape and maintain chemistry.

I assume he is chasing one more ring.

George’s contract is a year shorter.

You missed some headlines. The Sixers traded the broken Paul George for Jaylen Brown.

It seems that the new Celtics ownership is operating on the idea that the second apron will become a de facto hard cap for NBA payrolls and that existing contracts are not providing a good enough value. On his own last year, Brown was earning his max contract, but apparently having both Brown and Tatum on the court together is not worth paying 2 max contracts.

Other teams seem to be agreeing with them about the second apron being mutually assured destruction, but it could all be cover to force players to take less money.

I found OP’s first post about moving the community: https://lemmy.world/post/45941792

I am using journaling to help combat depression and I pick one (or more) of the following, depending on what I did that day:

• What are some things that I accomplished today? It does not have to be significant things, just things, no matter how small, even if it is just a step in a larger process.
• Was there a time today that I felt a social connection, like a good conversation or a shared activity?
• What is something I did that was fun?
• What am I looking forward to?

Overall, I only spend a couple minutes each day on it, but the process of thinking about what to write down lets me end each day feeling good about something.

Would you trust Eufy? A few years ago, they got in trouble because their cameras might only store footage locally but they stream to the cloud. They claim to have fixed the issue, but it is unclear if they mean that the footage is no longer being sent or if they just tightened security so that only they (and trusted partners) can watch it.

My dog is a bit like that. If he sees my wife and I getting a bit too touchy, he will start jealously growling about why we are petting each other and not him. We clearly declared him the “best boy”, so he should be getting all the pets.

The issue with that play is that the players are on different teams, so the ref assumed that it was an attempt to seduce an opposing player to sign with your team. That is clearly against tampering rules. Team employees, including players, may only seduce free agents, not players already signed to a team.

The example OP provided names LeBron, Kyrie, and J. R. Smith, all of whom played together in Cleveland. I assume they mean that the players making out are teammates, so the WNBA ruling is moot.

From what I understand, there is no basketball rule against sloppy makeouts between players on the same team. But that is not to say that it is a valid tactic. The NBA has 2 teams in Florida, 3 in Texas, and several more throughout the South and mid-West. At many arenas, a display contrary to good Christian values will result in security staff and any police present to immediately arrest the offending players, possibly with deadly force.

The Pacers? They tanked last year but are bringing back most of the roster that made the finals in 2025.
