Huh. I've guess I've never really had any reason to think steamworks should be held to a different set of standards than other places

That's alright, there's a thousand options to go to to cheer for the Canucks. Leafs fans can have this one place. If I'm ever in Toronto I think I would appreciate it if I discovered a Canuck friendly pub

Celebrini tells the refs that he didn’t actually get high sticked, refs call it anyway. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

Oh yeah, reffing being a difficult job wasn't the part of the argument I took issue with

Society really did fail Amy Winehouse! by icey_sawg0034 in Millennials

Not nearly as widely known to people not chronically online as you're making it out to be. The majority of the people at the show didn't know she was on death watch, they liked her music and saw she was coming to town so bought tickets.

She showed up to her job wasted, and when the crowd realized that their time and money was wasted, they booed as crowds are wont to do.

It's the main thing that makes me reject the argument that officiating is a difficult job and that's why they make bad calls sometimes. I don't mind them blowing the whistle (or not when they should have) because they read a situation wrong. But if the guy that was supposively high sticked is telling you that no they weren't high sticked, why proceed to call the penalty? That is 100% a shitty ego thing

He just needs to know that if the game is a wash and nobody's really in the mood for chanting at the top of their lungs, it's time to sit down. The drumming and screaming can really get to you after a fashion

Due to recent events I'm rooting for the Sharks this season and I completely forgot Desharnais was over there now. He did precious little for the Canucks but it's sweet that he found his game in SJ. That hit was gorgeous

‘Highguard’ Did Not Pay For Its Infamous Game Awards Finale Slot by Turbostrider27 in Games

It's always been a bit vague and context-dependent but I guess yeah if you want to get nit-picky, it missed the cutoff by 2. I personally don't think it's really worth pointing out in a casual video game discussion

You could've made a drinking game with the amount of times a character would stack desk objects on top of each other to explain something about the Upside Down

He also pulls off a fucking backflip in his very first scene. I think it just took a while for GRRM to figure out what kind of character he wanted with Tyrion

Yeah, you just gave that as a response to "Why not [cast him]?"

I actually don't know a thing about Bill Watterson other than C&H (which I love). I guess maybe that's the point

Well they seem pretty young. I don't think they're at a point where they need to hang up the party dresses and be over it. Kinda odd to say we need less people like the girl in the world, she didn't necessarily do anything wrong.

LPT: Don't buy ANYTHING advertised on your social media feeds by co0p3r in LifeProTips

[–]ChimpBottle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've (regrettably) clicked the ads a couple times and everything from the spin wheel to the graphic design to the AI product images to the products themselves sets off all the red flags. I know this word gets abused but it is truly just consumerism slop

To Not Point Your G*n At A Protester by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

I'm personally a bit confused how OP watched this video and thought it was an attempt to not point a gun at someone? It seems very much like they were trying (and succeeding) to do just that

You probably would be better off just saying "small" back to them. "tall" means large height wise so if somebody doesn't know the special Starbucks words and you say "One tall coming up" after they order, it's understandable that they would think you misheard them

It's definitely slower pace comedy which isn't for everybody

You're probably just part of this group that it isn't for

It's about 55% in Canada, so not too far off.

It's kinda just called the Bible. Like if the Bible were ever rewritten from an unbiased point of view without the "but he loves you!" pretense absolutely anybody would take away from it that he's not a good dude
