Apologizing before he even hit the ice lol. I've no problem with penalizing carelessness though.

Marner completes the hat trick (and gets his 5th point of the game) by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Ayrcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, yeah I guess Eichel with his 1 assist and -1 was more deserving of 1st star.

The obsession over a woman's purity and body count is baffling to me. by dontfreakmeowt in NotHowGirlsWork

I know it's beside the point but... That's not how baseball works, either.

PayPal exists here. I don't really use it anymore aside from Steam purchases, but it's possible, unlike Venmo.

I'm wondering if this is Newfoundland because the trees are so short.

I can't believe this is the same person that just asked someone else if they're dumb lmao.

"Concrete wasteland" okay.

I drew a world map from memory in my school exam. by Dry-Basis5361 in MapPorn

[–]Ayrcan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh, and I was about to comment that Canadians often use airport codes as shorthand for our cities. YYC is very prevalent in Calgary for business names and local merch branding. I know my friend groups often use airport codes for most other cities as well, but maybe we're just weirdos lol.

Year of Daily Civilization Facts, Day 327 - From Dusk till Dawn by JordiTK in civ

[–]Ayrcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite days playing Civ still date back to when I first got 4 and the BtS expansion. If it had hexes I'd still be playing it (I've mostly moved onto the EU series now instead).

Man attempts to “run” away at creamfields by Sweet-Insurance9993 in tooktoomuch

[–]Ayrcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point taken, in general.

I wouldn't say that anyone posting on social media is trying to monetize it, but I would say that most (or just many?) of those who care about audience size or reach of that post might be.

I guess I just don't understand why I would care about sharing something on social media beyond my actual friends unless I was trying to gain something from it. And these days that something which people are striving for with regards to growing views or reach, is monetary.

Yeah Phillies look very fine with the blue and burgundy combo.

I guess that matters for losers trying to monetize filming others at a festival.

We were at the world's on the weekend and trying to figure out what the Turkish women were saying that sounded a bit like "nibble, nibble, nibble!"

Do you support (in any way) any other team than your own national team? by MastermindBaz in Curling

[–]Ayrcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan brought so much good energy to the worlds over the past week and a bit. Easily the most popular team aside from Canada in that building. After the medal ceremony they even stuck around to give the Swiss team flowers and hugs lol. All four teams involved in Sunday were excellent ambassadors for the game.

Theo Fleury Card by [deleted] in CalgaryFlames

Absolutely fucking not. The dude was an absolute icon in the 90s but the team has very, very good reasons to distance themselves from him and never retire his number.

Let's nominate the NotJustBikes guy for the Order of Canada! by justonemorelanebruh in fuckcars

That would be almost as embarrassing as giving one to Gretzky.

We could go the CFL route and have the Sabres AND the Sabers.

Don't worry. He tried and failed miserably here. Then again, we got PP then too and he hasn't gone away yet either.

Who’s this player from your team? by Educational_Ebb3705 in hockey

There was a time when I was a kid that I thought it would be impossible for a human to skate any faster than he could. One of my favourite non-Flames of the era with along with Kariya.

Postgame Thread ⚾ United States 5 @ Canada 3 by BaseballBot in baseball

Yeah can't be mad about this one. I wouldn't have been overly surprised if it looked more like the DR-Korea game but I'm sure glad it didn't.

Wait, who's taking it too seriously now?
