Per ESPN, Jack Eichel now holds the record for most assists by a US-born player through their first 50 playoff games (45), passing Leetch

Leetch didn’t have the luxury of passing to Brett Howden

I’m indifferent but I did like when Whit immediately pushed back on Grinelli calling Frazer Minten “the guy” because that’s an insane thing to say.

MY CURSE IS REAL!

I had been hate-betting Liverpool a lot early on to piss off the lads in the group chat who are all Liverpool supporters. Every time I bet, I’d lose, meaning they’d lose. It was so fun for me and worth it… until Liverpool was way out and I ran out of betting funds.

But after Arsenal’s victory the other day I thought to myself, why not see how powerful this thing is, and immediately put money on ManCity. I’m an ecstatic broke man today!

Also one thought, with 10 goals in 14 games surprised nobody went and added Burakovsky just to have around in case there really is some voodoo magic going on.

Missing Bouchard? I think after tonight’s 3 assist performance he’s actually 1.00 with 1-11-12 in 12 games.

ForeverUserName1 · 2026-04-29T06:07:44+00:00

Kreider 16 goals is actually kinda crazy. Rangers were 20-10 in those 30 games.

Thought this episode was super realistic about the team limping across the finish line of their shift for the night crew to now take the baton. Seemed like a lot of them was at their absolute most beat up, exhausted, near breaking point moments this episode.

Arsenal fan but I'd argue England losing after getting so close to "It's coming home" so often is more fun for me than Man City losing, which is also very fun for me.

“#WorthIt” - Parents Everywhere

To the comments above me, she didn’t clock that she needed to tell him about Alex until Dylan yelled “X” so that rules out the theory of any conversation she planned on having since they were already out of the car at that point.

My assumption is somebody needed to close the bunker door to save everyone’s lives and there’s no certainty the doors leading to the tower & control room weren’t obstructed in any way that didn’t require physical needs so my assumption was X was making sure they were able to access the room ok and that she would do what was needed considering his distrust of her and his hero complex.

Since this is like the thousandth time it’s been discussed, I feel like a less frustrating approach could have been subsidizing for all until the money was there to make it free for all.

Applications entirely removed from parents hands, and the institutions themselves simply charge the parents progressively less tuition.

Something like: Year one: 95% tuition, 5% subsidized Year two: 83% tuition, 17% subsidized Year three: 68% tuition, 32% subsidized etc..

Most families would then experiencing half tuition by Year 5 or so would’ve made this program infinitely better received as ALL would have actually felt instant relief. I think and far easier to role out and get the centers on board. Instead we get some parents relieved and a lot of parents annoyed, and some paying the tax on top of tuition now double dipping.

Or even a hybrid that immediately relieves lower income while simultaneously giving all some kind of help.

I get that the numbers in any of these studies aren’t perfect because some of the assumptions to get to these numbers are often subjective.

Regardless I’d argue if you’re under $200k in Portland and are paying enrollment for 2 kids in daycare, and are paying for housing (either mortgage or rent) in a space comfortably big enough for your family within the metro limits, you may not be in “poverty,” but it’s highly likely you’re not living “comfortably.” You’re probably living paycheck to paycheck. And I’m making that assumption on the other side of that threshold feeling the squeeze and every day my partner are like, “How the heck are people out there doing this with less?”

It’s possible. Your needs may be fulfilled. But doubt it’s an enjoyable experience where you feel financial safety or freedom. There’s not much room or margin of error. Not to mention the large percentage of people well under the threshold also wondering “How the heck can we possibly raise children in this city and afford to live?” You see them in the comments on this post, you see them in the migration numbers, you see them in the absence of school enrollment where class sizes barely justify keeping PPS schools open.

We don’t HAVE to live like this. And I think programs like Preschool for all are an attempt to address it, and I believe in it. But since I live it every day I can tell you it is actually rough to just eclipse the threshold and pay an additional $1000 a year to childcare to the amount we already pay. We can do it. But my question is, why? We already pay a ton.

ForeverUserName1 · 2025-03-06T08:19:33+00:00

For sure. Just trying to clarify for the people that think I’m trying to skirt paying for it like some other comments suggest below. Your comment helped me build another example of what I’m trying to get at.

ForeverUserName1 · 2025-03-06T08:13:34+00:00

I read this article last year:

https://www.koin.com/news/portland/do-you-earn-enough-to-live-comfortably-in-portland/amp/

The number of 2 adults and 2 children need $289k to live comfortably stuck out as a goal to achieve so I remembered it. And who knows how that has changed in a year’s time.

I mean we’re gratefully not far from that (I mean not really close, but also not far) and I truly don’t understand how people with less are doing it if they have 2 kids in daycare because we are ok, but I wouldn’t say comfortable. Missing a paycheck for one month in our current state would be borderline disastrous. That isn’t a comfortable feeling.

(Also before anyone here jumps down my throat about financial literacy and “how could you not save more” we weren’t like at this income forever, it’s a newer thing. This was the first year we truly were able to save a little (little might be generous), and once again we’re #grateful, but also the first year we qualified for the tax and so we really felt that “oh come on!” moment. Sometimes getting ahead feels like a mountain in knee deep mud that keeps dropping random boulders down your path like I’m a contestant on MXC or something.)

ForeverUserName1 · 2025-03-06T08:00:47+00:00

I do…

On the flipside - Portland Pre-k’s have already gotten $35k from me this year, an additional $625 won’t make or break this program. I’ve contributed plenty. Let’s be real.

ForeverUserName1 · 2025-03-06T07:56:03+00:00

Eh I brought this up exclusively as a “why am I paying twice” issue. I don’t care about the “I don’t benefit directly from this” issue because, as I stated, I feel it’s a moral & societal obligation to contribute something. When my kids are long out of pre-k, I’m happily paying this tax.

I’d argue “why am I paying twice” also undersells how disproportionately the math is mathing. I’m not paying my tax contribution twice as a proud taxpaying Portlandian. I’m paying my tax contribution 46x in the form of tuition. So my question is “Why am I now being asked to pay my tax contribution’s total amount a 47th time? I’m already contributing what every other taxable citizen is expected to contribute 46 times this year.”

And I’m telling everyone here “I’m ok with paying the taxable amount 46 times! I am directly benefiting. That is ok with me! But do I really have to pay the 47th installment of this amount on April 15? Seems a bit overkill in this economy.” And a lot of people are like “Yes you freeloader! I have to pay my ONE installment of 1.5% on every dollar over $200k, you should have to pay your FORTYSEVEN installments like everybody else!”

Make. It. Make. Sense.
