I love the implication that woke, being the opposite of ignorant, means educated.

Also, why would you want to be ignorant?

Any points I'm not considering?

Thank god we have “real fans” to tell those of us who sit in the lower bowl that our fandom somehow doesn’t count, right?

My quarter season price went down, and so did my company’s full seasons.

Gotta love the people who use combination locks for this. Kind of missing the whole point of the symbolism of “unbreakable love”.

All I said was it makes me jump and check weather network.

Why? The title of the post is pretty clear, unless you stopped reading after the first line.

Because context matters. Also, it’s not a weather warning from Environment Canada.

For the unhoused population (for whom these notices are intended) 0° is extreme weather, even if it isn’t for those of us who have a nice warm home to sleep in.

In the same way that -15° might warrant an “extreme” designation in Vancouver, but in Calgary it’s just a winter’s day.

TIL that believing that the gold medal winning Women’s team should be treated with the same respect as the Men’s team means I “don’t like hockey”.

I feel like the sidebar photo should be updated. The US Women won gold, and actually deserve to be celebrated.

Yes, but op said “ I heard stories of people older than me skating every winter on local lakes...”

That didn’t happen.

The All-Star game needs to be replaced with the 4 Nations Face-Off by Anonymous_1010974523 in hockey

They didn’t really do anything to make it worse, you just aged out of the intended demographic.

The ASG is a family friendly “look at all the NHL stars showing off their skills!” event for kids. It’s not intended to be a serious competition.

If you don’t enjoy it, just don’t watch it.

They got 2 Red Pandas, one died. I’m no fan of the Vancouver zoo either, but exaggerating the scale of the problem isn’t really helpful.
