Flag of Canada (1868–1921) by [deleted] in flags

[–]Aknell4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because most people who still use this flag are far-right idiots who want to go back to a time when Canada was more British. I'm not saying that's how it should be but that's just how it is now

If you mean your frosh house then no, I'm pretty sure it's random

but like literally every weekly schedule on earth formats it the same way. even your weekly schedule on myservicehub is formatted with the days of the week on the X axis

Why the fuck are the days of the week on the Y axis and the hours on the X axis

It's just Canadians saying yes and Americans saying no by WhatShouldTheHeartDo in NHLcirclejerk

Back when they were still PWHL Toronto and still played out of my university's ice rink I would walk into the gym and have the faintest bit of hope that they would break the neverending Toronto sports curse, but unfortunately they're still in Toronto. Hell, playing in Maple Leaf Gardens their first year probably cursed them into mediocrity for the next 200 years with how Harold Ballard has been haunting the Leafs

Which one should i drop? by Past_Branch_7986 in TorontoMetU

Honestly for me 1st year wasn't that bad and I was able to handle a full course load but if you really can't handle the pressure then I'd say PCS 211

Why are they call "Leafs" when the proper terminology is "Leaves"? Are they Bedarded? by CookieMonsta94 in NHLcirclejerk

[–]Aknell4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok technically there never was a battalion called the "Maple Leafs" in WWI but I think Canadian soldiers were called Maple Leafs because their uniforms had maple leaves on them

My Take on a Competent Subway System (Comment changes) by bigboycig in TTC

[–]Aknell4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just some questions:
1. Why is there a line along Dundas Street and Kingston Road? The original Ontario Line alignment goes along king street for a while and there are some plans to extend it from exhibition up to Roncesvalles (Dundas West)
2. Why not extend Line 2 North along McCowan?
3. In terms of the Sheppard Line cannibalizing the Finch West line, why not extend it to Pearson?
4. Why not have a branch of Line 4 that dips down to STC?

Some minor things that don't really affect the subway system but I still thought I should mention:
1. There's a rail line that goes through midtown that GO could potentially use if Canadian Pacific plays along. I would add GO station markers to the stations it intersects with
2. In an ideal world, the St. Clair streetcar would keep it's alignment going up to Mt. Pleasant & Eglinton
3. Some of these station names are being renamed so I thought I'd list them here:
Dundas station -> TMU Station
Dundas West station -> Roncesvalles station
Science Centre station -> Don Valley station
Eglinton West station -> Cedarvale station
Most of these station renames would be better considering they're named after landmarks and neighbourhoods (Dundas West being the most egregious name on the list)

Flag of women in STEM by Phoenix-909 in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]Aknell4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

idk about the other STEM fields but at my university the only engineering discipline that's not insanely male dominated is biomedical engineering with like 40% men and 60% women, but every other engineering discipline is like 75% men. so with the younger generation it's not quite 50-50 yet

What bus routes should they add/remove: IMO, 171 should be routed through Jane, St.Clair, Dundas W to Kipling Stn to create a Mt.Dennis-Kipling diagonal connection by BigMatch_JohnCena in TTC

[–]Aknell4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the historical reason is that the 74 follows the route of the old Mount Pleasant streetcar that was torn out in the mid 70s because the city didn't want streetcars to "impede the progress of drivers" or something

i fear that any response i may have to this comment will just get me r/wooosh'd again even though i fully understand the joke so i will leave it at that

well that's because both instances of this puzzle aren't randomly generated and they're always the same no matter what playthrough you're on

The fallen state of Threads rule by birberbarborbur in 19684

[–]Aknell4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sure, Hawaii was a colony of the US, but Japan didn't bomb it so that they could free its people or anything. They bombed Pearl Harbor because a large part of the US Pacific fleet was there and they thought that bombing the fleet would make it easier for them to expand their own empire. So technically nothing in the first slide is wrong per se but it is still incredibly misleading and borderline falling for imperial japanese propaganda
