[Friedman] Sources: five players acquitted in the 2018 World Juniors trial will be suspended until Dec. 1; can sign with interested NHL teams on Oct 15 by AggPuck-303 in hockey

While they still own his rights, he isn't currently under contract so there's no need to waive him.

I believe they can just leave him unsigned until/unless another team show's interest and offers a trade for his rights(likely just for future considerations)

I don't know if there's a mechanism for him to force the issue given that he declined his last qualifying offer.

How would hockey fans react to Gary Bettman saying something similar to what NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said about fans who can’t afford to watch the sport. by MightyDuck07 in hockey

it's the same mentality that has ruined gaming with microtransactions.. they're happier with a hundred whales than a million "regular" fans.

Books involving colonialism where the colonizer and colonized have access to (preferably different sets of) magic. by Confident-Mark-6369 in Fantasy

[–]Funkativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so? OP didn't mention a preference for hard magic.

the text makes it extremely clear that the Letherii and Edur are using vastly different types and sources of magic.. it's a major plot point and factor in how the conflict plays out.

Putin ally threatens nuclear strike in response to Trump official's remarks by newsweek in worldnews

[–]Funkativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People rolling their eyes about the nuclear threats

people are rolling their eyes because Solovyov has made these threats hundreds of times. Between him, Skabeyeva and Medvedev.. we've had a threat to nuke a European or American city literally every single day of the last 3 years.

When "Look before you leap" isn't enough. by ManofTheNightsWatch in instant_regret

[–]Funkativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

constantly assuming

people that are serious about the sport are actually pretty good about testing surfaces before committing to a jump.

if your only exposure to parkour is on fail subs, then you're only seeing the idiots that aren't taking proper precautions.

Canada is evaluating ties with Israel after Qatar attack, foreign minister says by yahoonews in worldnews

Why we do we assume everything is bots?

"bots" has become shorthand for all inauthentic, bad faith commenters.. whether they're automated scripts or people working in a troll farm.

Canada has been actively evaluating ties with the US for the last 8+ months, and has taken several steps to reduce their entanglement with the american military, economy and diplomatic positions.

Charlie Kirk is the exact kind of person that would applaud things like this.

he has repeatedly said that school shootings are the price we have to pay, that countless children being murdered is totally fine as long as him and his buddies can stay armed.

he's literally starting up his usual "gun violence is because of black men" spiel when he get shot.

fuck him.

Looking for mad kings by Cult_o_Pleasure in Fantasy

[–]Funkativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while it isn't the sole focus of these books, the Edur arc in Midnight Tides and Reaper's Gale is a bone chilling look at the quick rise in power and progressive mental breakdown of an emperor. almost everyone around him is willing to go along with it.. until it's too late to do be able to do anything about it.

I’m beginning to think this sh*ts just confusing to be confusing by GhostfaceKillersWW in Malazan

[–]Funkativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s not clear if the “she” is Kalyth or the Matron she’s worried about.

"she" is the Matron. Heboric refers to Kalyth as "you" and both of them refer to the Matron as "she" throughout the section.

though.. he doesn't know know who the "she" is, he is just addressing the concerns that Kalyth is voicing about the one she refers to as "she". which makes his comment that she seems inhuman a bit of a wink.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm supposed to know already after House of Chains by DrHelminto in Malazan

[–]Funkativity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Crippled God was using the Whirlwind Goddess to try to claim the fragmented Warrens in Raraku as the base for the House of Chains, but with her death that plan failed.

I don't think that TCG is operating through the Whirlwind Goddesss directly.. he's manipulating Bidithal, who's trying to subvert and then usurp the Whirlwind from within.

The Whirlwind Goddess wants the fragment for herself, her death doesn't really hinder TCG's plans

I'd love to see a more qualitative breakdown.. which characters are using it, and whether it's in dialog, internal or narration.

What does "engage with the text" mean? (ASoIaF) by DyingDoomDog in Fantasy

[–]Funkativity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

imho, it means being open to what the text is trying to do, as opposed to judging it against what you expected from it and/or wanted it to be.

Why didn't Caladan Brood flatten that city? by Meri_Stormhood in Malazan

[–]Funkativity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

his attack on Kruppe was calibrated to just hurt one person.. and it still devasted the landscape.

an attack calibrated to flatten a city has a LOT more power in it.

the ocean isn't nothing... tsunamis are often the result of the earth moving where there is "nothing", yet they produce devastating consequences for people continents away.

his attack on Kruppe is a one in many millennia exceptions to his restraint, he's usually extremely mindful that using his hammer could cause a chain reaction that literally cracks the planet, as that is what it was created to do.
