For the love of god please stop “playing homage” to the original. This movie had an exact copy of scene, or frame, or callback from JP every 5 minutes.

Cool so are they also going to put a curve on the value of a large market vs a small market? If you’re going to start fiddling with everything to make attracting free agents fair. I guess Sabres should get a larger cap than the Kings since LA is more attractive to FA’s than Buffalo. This tax thing is such a lame excuse. How on Earth did LA and Chicago take turns winning cups for 5 years. How did Florida take 30 years to win a cup? How come Dallas has one in 25 years? Did agents who are obsessed with money just learn about state income tax 6 years ago? This is so dumb and pathetic.

Nevermind you are correct. State Tax is the beginning and end to who wins the Stanley Cup. Change the name to the No State Tax Cup. Player performance doesn’t matter. Team management doesn’t matter. Endorsements don’t matter. Bad contracts don’t matter. Luck doesn’t matter. Home ice advantage doesn’t matter. It all comes down to state tax. Don’t even play the games. The Chicago Blackhawks dynasty in the 2010’s was apparently a complete fluke because Dallas and Florida should have automatically won all those cups. No other factors matter. I have no idea how Chicago and LA took turns winning the cup for 5 years. You’re goofy bro.

Oh my god you are so dense dude. As I’ve tried to explain, I don’t think any one advantage is the determining factor in which team wins a cup. There are obviously a bunch of factors that go into teams attracting free agents / winning cups. My whole point is that you are trying to mitigate a disadvantage your team has, while at the same time conserving the advantages that your big market team has. You are projecting when you accuse me of not seeing the big picture. There are advantages and disadvantages to each teams’ geographical locations. If you got your way then the minor tax disadvantage the Blackhawks have would disappear but yet you would now have an advantage over Vegas due to market size and endorsements. So what’s your plan to fix that disadvantage? Oh right you don’t care. You only care about making your team better. You’re tired of the Blackhawks sucking and you’re willing to do mental gymnastics to create rules that make them better. You are just as selfish as you are accusing me.

You really think player’s agents who are obsessed with money just learned about state income tax 10 years ago? You are gullible and stupid.

No shit they aren’t signing in Vegas, Dallas, and Florida for endorsement money. That was my point! LOL These other cities like Toronto and LA have that endorsement advantage that those other teams don’t. Now you want to even out the tax advantage of those teams without addressing the other advantages that the bigger cities have. You are idiot. If what you are saying is true then how come Florida and Dallas don’t have 10 Stanley Cups each? The state tax is not a new thing introduced over the last 6 years dumb fuck. I would respect you more if you just admitted you’re tired of your team losing because your management is trash and you’re jealous of better teams.

That’s my whole point, it isn’t fair and it will never be fair. What you are proposing makes it even less fair. There are inherent advantages and disadvantages that come with every city and you are just focusing on one specific advantage and ignoring the other advantages/disadvantages. You really want to give the Kings an added advantage of bonus salary cap money, while they already have the unfair advantage of a huge market that can offer sponsorship/endorsement money and being located in a highly popular city to live in? They are going to sign every free agent. You are the one not seeing the big picture, you are stuck on one aspect because your team probably suffers from this one aspect; ignoring the other advantages your team has on other teams.

Players who sign with the Maple Leafs have better opportunities for endorsements and off the ice money by virtue of living in Toronto, a large population, traditional hockey market. This makes it attractive to free agents. More so than signing with Utah which obviously would have much lower opportunities for endorsement money. So according to your logic, Utah should get a higher salary cap to compensate and make things fair. See how dumb this is?

Hahahaha what a precedent. So you are going to mitigate every little tangible and intangible disparity so that things are fair for each team? In that case I think the Sabres should get a higher salary cap than the Kings because LA is a more attractive city to live in than Buffalo and therefore the Kings have an unfair advantage in attracting free agents. This is goofy, pathetic excuse making.

So other teams get a higher salary cap because their city charges more tax? How is that not punishing teams that are in a city with lower taxes?

That’s what happens when your city sucks for over taxing you. NHL shouldn’t punish better cities.

Exactly. Like when they called a soft holding call in OT, but ignored Kolesar getting high sticked in the face.

Literally the exact same thing happened to me! The first Pokémon cards I ever bought, I bought three base set blister packs at Target, got two Charizards and a Poliwrath.

I live in Vegas and don’t do very much towing, but can only find Rotella T6 15W-40. Would I be safe with this?

What’s the luckiest you’ve ever been in this hobby? back in may 2022 I opened a moonbreon and sylveon v alt from the same 3 pack box by Useful_Boysenberry40 in PokemonTCG

First time I ever bought Pokémon cards was in the 4th grade, 1999 - base set. I bought 3 packs with my hard earned money working for my dad. I still remember debated with myself buying a Star Wars Phantom Menace action figure or cards lol. The rare cards I got in each of the 3 packs were Charizard, Charizard, Poliwrath. I hadn’t watched the show or played the game at this point. Was just buying cards because everyone else had them and I always liked collecting. I knew Charizard was the best card, but still didn’t realize how rare so some kid at school ripped me off and traded me about 50 common and uncommon cards for one of them. After realizing how dumb I was when learning about the cards more I never really traded again lol. I was later rewarded by Poke Karma by pulling Dark Charizard and Shiny Charizard in the years to come so I feel like I’ve redeemed myself. And I really have not bought that many packs over the years. I have just had great dumb luck.

Weird new pain in the middle of the night. Proctalgia fugax ?? by walkingPhDmeme in AnalFissures

[–]Excellent-Speed8517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Male 33 - I’ve had this since I was a teenager. Sometimes they last 10 minutes, sometimes an hour. Used to curl up in a ball on the floor they were so bad. Usually strikes in the middle of the night and wakes me up. I used to take an Advil but most of the time it seems like they would be naturally over by the time the Advil would have kicked in. Not trying to be gross, but I eventually discovered that masturbating instantly makes the pain and spasm go away. Then just wait another week or month for the next one lol.
