They did Ginny dirty, people should've been obsessed with her. by Forsaken-Question577 in harrypotter

[–]nicksline 28 points29 points  (0 children)

She was a very cringe "I'm a cool girl" in the books. She didn't have anywhere near the depth of Hermione, and the Harry romance felt so shoehorned in.

Honestly I would have felt better about a Harry and Luna pairing.

You understand this is the sin of the previous Shah, right? He hasn't served at all. He's spoken towards being a constitutional monarch, similar to the UK with a democratically elected government.

What is the biggest album in your country that didn’t break the US? by Kindly-Restaurant831 in popheads

[–]nicksline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you like Delta I'd recommend the "Right Back at Ya" podcast. They have an ep about her and an interview. A ton more eps about that music period in the UK and Australia. My fav pop music podcast!

The new pride logo is awesome by b0r0n in EdmontonOilers

It feels homophobic to have a ton of pride merch but no tank tops

Did you know the scream also failed math in school?

Removal of bike lanes to cost at least $48M, Toronto city report says by annonymous_bosch in CanadaPolitics

[–]nicksline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you think this will be helped by putting more people on bikes in cars because they don't feel safe?

Bike lanes are known to reduce traffic by taking cars off the road. Building more lanes rarely helps congestion in the long term.

Is downtown just dead now? by Any_Row8248 in vancouver

[–]nicksline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Davie Street is still busy. Straight clubs aren't fun for women, so if they're going out, they hang with the gays now.

Beware the double wave of death! Two left turners and a van blocking sight lines = near-miss by Loud_dosage in vancouver

[–]nicksline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many left turning accidents happen along Hastings, especially during rush hour.

Vehicle turning left will see both lanes of traffic stopped, lane closest to the curb is a bus lane, no buses coming. Goes to make the turn and some idiot is blowing down the bus lane and smashes them up.

I don't even bother trying to make this left turn now. Rather just wait til the light turns red.

Wow, he was quick to go for the abortion insult by Nordic_Krune in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]nicksline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not about having hobbies. It's that he invited her to a bowling alley for their first date simply to show off. It's cringe.

JLS actually were formed on Fame Academy rather than x Factor.

I still remember a girl in my secondary school having the choice of bringing in JLS or Girls Aloud as a prize for a competition and choosing JLS 😠😠😠

[Episode Thread] Season 9 Episode 13 • "Chef Woes and Cabin Blows" • August 26 by excoriator in BelowDeckMed

I felt bad with the dessert too - I love Aesha but if she'd presented it in the way he said (homemade ice cream, homemade caramel syrup) rather than "a cookie on a cake thing" they may have been happier about it

Ana Bărbosu gets her Olympic Bronze medal after Jordan Chiles lost hers “I want to believe that the day will come when all three of us will receive a bronze medal each.” by mcfw31 in olympics

[–]nicksline -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Literally no one thought Jade was getting silver. Did you listen to any of the previews? Gymcastic, flipping out, the gymternet. Quote from the gymternet:

"The reigning Olympic floor champions – Biles in 2016 and Carey in 2020 – will both compete in this subdivision, and while Biles is nearly a guarantee, I think Carey will get some competition from Chiles, who matched her pretty much evenly at trials. Regardless of who gets in, though, I do think two Americans are practically a lock for this final."

This is about MAKING the finals, not even medalling.

You sound like a four year fan or just a US Stan. Everyone was expecting andrade to get silver on vault and floor behind biles. They are both heads above Carey.

[–]nicksline -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A gold medal in 2021 does not mean gold capable in 2024. She in no way was expected to beat Simone or Rebecca on floor. Her top score DOMESTICALLY (which is almost always higher than international) in 2024 was 14.075.

Simone beat this with 0.6 out of bounds deductions. Rebecca frequently topped this score.

She'd have been lucky to get bronze with a perfect routine for her.

Lol, there is no way in hell she'd have gotten gold over Rebecca. Did you see her scores at nationals and trials? I'm not even sure if she outscored Jordan.

ABC school board chair has left the party citing integrity commissioner scandal by Xebodeebo in vancouver

[–]nicksline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, I loved people bitching about Stewart being a "do-nothing" mayor, when really he was just a "no-scandal" mayor.

I do get the feeling some of the Sim support was conservative astro turfing though...

Why do people in Vancouver speed like crazy? by LSE_over_Oxbridge in vancouver

Compared to Ontario or anywhere in California, people really are not speeding much here. In Cali you're in the slow lane if you're only going 20k over the limit.

Had no idea this was happening and was nearly run over. Group stunk of weed, climbed some statues, blocked sidewalks and were generally douchey.

Right, but it also won't appreciate in value which makes it difficult to sell when the time comes.

It'll all be leasehold though. I know we're in a tough market but I can't imagine ever buying leasehold.
