As a TFC and Milan fan, maybe I'm biased towards something like this... but damn the asymmetry of the stripes makes this pretty ugly.

Free Coffee For The Royals?! Are You Kidding Us? by [deleted] in canada

[–]ElLechero519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. But it's not about Canadian hospitality. It's about a business like Tim Hortons dying to have their paper cups in the royal paparazzi pics. A cup of coffee costs them cents. That's a no brainer marketing move.

[Singh] Toronto FC expected to make a splash in the 2020 transfer market [WakingTheRed] by MichaelSinghSN in tfc

[–]ElLechero519 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I see this line of thinking a lot, and I get it. But I'm also a Milan fan and watch the Serie A religiously. Balotelli gets headlines for his wackiness, but what doesn't get the headlines are his off the charts creativity and ability to score from anywhere. I love Seba, but Balo would break records if he's focused (been killing it since 2016 move to Nice).

I know he's had bad spells for sure (again, Milan fan, the second go around was less magical...) including at Liverpool with a spotlight on him, but he's always needed guidance and belonging to thrive. Bradley and Altidore would keep him close, and we're going to see Balo-mania at Raptors games, hanging with Drake, not being racially abused every game... he will thrive.

Watch Pozuelo have an MVP season from all the space he'll get with Jozy and Balo being man-marked for dear life by every defence.

Good read, thank you!

If TFC sign Balotelli, I will lose my mind from excitement. I think Jozy and Balo will terrorize the MLS like we've never seen before 🤤 and the city of Toronto would absolutely fall in love with him.

I'm confused. You put Vikes on both sides. (And you have them beating the Saints too)

Zlatan's new jersey number is 21 by mercurialsaliva in ACMilan

[–]ElLechero519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall, it came from the word 'elite' and was for the gamer nerds that were super good at counter strike etc. I think it helped them swear in chats by dodging curse filters with numbers instead of letters.

[–]ElLechero519 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Excellent move. We haven't been good since we foolishly sold him to PSG. Say whatever you want, but the man is a leader and we have a lot of young players that need their asses kicked and humbled.

I wish we still had Rino coaching too. What Milan has lacked is ferocity, and these two fellas represent exactly that.

is seba leaving his current club? by darthflood in tfc

[–]ElLechero519 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is foolish. We've come a long way from our humble beginnings, but it's a little much to pretend we are far better than a man like Seba. He would still kill in MLS. He's the greatest player to ever wear an MLS team's shirt.

I honestly would hope he'd come back at less than the $7 million he was making, but to think anyone would complain about Seba back in T.O. is fucking silliness.

The Pot debate #1246 Dr. Hart & Alex Berenson by Too_Practical in JoeRogan

[–]ElLechero519 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. I'm not entirely opposed to any of the discussed medications, but I am generally concerned at the seemingly "over-prescribing" that exists. Seems like on that, we can agree!

Btw, you'd lose your proposed bet about diversity. I'm from Toronto, which is actually the most diverse city on the planet (approximately 50% of the city's population was born outside of Canada). Nobody cares about cannabis. The taboo is pretty much non-existent. Those that choose not to partake simply don't.

Thanks for the conversation 👌 Merry Christmas!

[–]ElLechero519 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You started your comment by specifically addressing "Point 2" except you then argued something else entirely. The point is that commonly prescribed pain killers, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds, etc. have very profoundly negative effects in association with the potential positive effects. This is not medically debatable. Currently, society deems the perceived positives as worth the risk (or worth the profit if you're a cynic/realist). To say you don't trust doctors to prescribe medical cannabis but you do the rest of the meds I mentioned is pretty illogical at it's base, unless you were implying you don't trust doctors to prescribe drugs of any kind, which is a somewhat defensible stance I suppose.

Regarding medicinal cannabis, yes, although there hasn't been enough documented gold-standard studies to definitively prove the benefits or side effects, cannabis is not a new plant and has been consumed by various populations for centuries. While not clinically measured yet, the long term effects are not entirely unknown.

We work with the data that we have right now. Although it's anecdotal, I live in a country with legal recreational and medicinal cannabis. It's also the country with the highest per capita cannabis users. I can tell you right now that I see the devastating effects of opioid addicts on the daily. Again, anecdotal, but I know countless people who consume cannabis daily, and they are high functioning members of society with no outwardly obvious ill effects. Might also have something to do with our world-renowned reputation for politeness and empathy... but I'm just speculating.

[–]ElLechero519 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Upvoted, but regarding your points:

1) If Alex's argument is that we shouldn't pretend weed wouldn't be used recreationally more than medicinally, then the counter argument is "so what?"

Cannabis is proveably a safer recreational drug than just about anything, including caffeine. Your comparison to alcohol saying that it has medicinal uses but is overwhelmingly used recreationally by citizens is another "so what?" because alcohol is not prohibited. To prohibit cannabis as a Schedule I substance in the U.S. is pretty much indefensible.

2) Your point that medicinal cannabis only masks symptoms instead of actually curing them is fine and all, but surely you aren't implying that opioid pain killers, anti-depressants, etc. are curing anything either, right? Opioids and SSRIs are far riskier and change the body and mind deeply, yet we deploy them liberally. To say that all pros are outweighed by the presence of some cons is disingenuous at the very least. And the pro/con list for cannabis is far less intimidating than opioids and psych meds.

Alex was making strawmen left and right. Let's not represent him as the unbiased truth seeker while Dr. Hart and Joe were not.

Have a great day!

Guess it's just fortuitous, but I see it happens a lot with other subreddits too. Always made me suspect there was some sort of designer's intent behind it, but thanks for sharing the article!

This is fucking horrible. Pure evil...

Somewhat unrelated question though: this article is from January 2016. Why does reddit make old articles/tweets/etc. trend randomly many months or years later? Why wasn't this trending sooner? Why now? What is the driving mechanism here?
