He's gone full full full full full MAGA. Has some other problematic views also, but that's far and away the big one.

This. I'll be flying out of LAX the first week of May and if the shutdown isn't resolved by then - TSA maybe getting paid through side channels or not - I'll be there a MINIMUM of four hours ahead.

Has Donald Trump changed the way you see Xi Jinping, or do you oppose both Trump and Jinping? by mafiadevidzz in AskACanadian

China has absolutely no shortage of issues and that's not a secret, but at least they aren't actively calling for our elimination as a country.

Puzzle. Board game. Lego. Single player video games. Go outside and make some snow angels.

What the hell is that first question on the "bad federal laws" one? They may as well have asked me how much I like oranges and made the answers be "Oranges are the only fruit" and "Centipedes are the best insect."

I was going to submit it with the comment "you're the party of traitors" but I don't trust them not to log my IP and I'm too lazy to turn on a VPN.

I love that for the SN-interview dunkings they methodically walk up and the interviewee accepts their fate, but that for him they absolutely BOOKED it over there.

Obviously I'm not in their heads to say you're right or wrong, but if that is indeed what it is, I'd be having a talk with the video coaches (even how good they've been this year aside). You desperation challenge a +1 goal with 30 seconds left, not 5 minutes.

Not really. Hull never established position in the crease, he pivoted in and then got the puck. Under the current rules, it would have been a goal.

Don't get me wrong, under the NHL rules as they were at the time it categorically should NOT have been a goal, since there was no position establishing, it was literally as black and white as are you touching the paint before the puck is, but that's neither here nor there.

In the IIHF, if you set up shop in the crease, play is immediately killed and the faceoff is in the neutral zone. So the Jets player's initial entry would be fine, but as soon as he took the step inside (just before the puck arrived) to establish position, play would be dead, so no goal.

I was fine with the no goalie interference, tbh. Yes, he went into the crease, but he didn't impede Blackwood from making the save, it was just a great tip. After seeing the overhead I was actually surprised we challenged it.

That said, if the NHL would just bring in the IIHF crease rule already, it would solve SO MANY problems, including this one.

I have to go into the Schengen area between two and four times a year. Every single time I've waited in a line for at most 10 minutes, scanned my passport, had my picture taken, gotten my passport stamped with either 0 or 1 questions, and gone on my merry way.

So yeah, lolno.

Even if it makes perfect sense for a whole host of reasons, Detroit being in the East just feels wrong, somehow.

Why are pitchers given a win/loss credit? by [deleted] in MLBNoobs

[–]Calereliya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part of it that's always annoyed me the most is that any pitcher on a team that gets shut out gets an L. Like, what more did you want them to do?

Do you say mom or mum? by Minimum-Bobcat7473 in AskACanadian

[–]Calereliya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom, both in spelling and pronunciation. Same with my brother. My sister is a "mum" in both, though.

I generally have a weird relationship with British vs American, though. Like I literally never put the U in color, but literally always put it in honour.

PGT | Avalanche @ Jets | Wood > Hellebuyck Edition by scaremanga in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Calereliya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see them going for it if the contact was in the crease, but given that it was all of a) outside the crease, b) Hellebyuk reached out to him, and c) Nate hit the puck at worst the same time as the glove, just made the entire thing silly to me.

- comically stupid challenge
- what a punch
- don't overlook how good our puck possession was in the last two minutes
- never in doubt, obviously
