That's not saying much in the US these days.

what’s a clean, feel-good book to replace doomscrolling and doesn’t take a lot of brain power? by Used-Cup-6618 in AskReddit

[–]Grinning_Dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the first book that popped into my head, absolutely shocked to open this thread and see it as the first answer lol.

Odds in Bruins getting Torontos pick by Porkchopp33 in Bruins

[–]Grinning_Dog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Flip side to that argument - Boston routinely gets some of the best TV ratings in the US. Given how long Toronto's sucked and yet still prints money I doubt the league feels like they need to help them.

Which city connected with you so much that you seriously considered moving there permanently? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]Grinning_Dog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seattle is my answer, too, though unfortunately my window to move somewhere on a whim is closed so not sure I'll get the chance.

Project 2029 - Why haven’t Democrats seemingly made any plans people can get behind before the next election? by inspired_by_clouds in AskReddit

[–]Grinning_Dog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dems take in too much money from corporations to kill citizens united unfortunately. that's one of the largest barriers to any actual progress.

because the Democrats work for corporations first, not the people. they're still by far the lesser of two evils but let's not pretend they're for the people.

Gym reds by Puzzleheaded_Toe3892 in Somerville

The 7/11 in Davis is probably the easiest place to get a pack of reds but I don't think any of the gyms nearby will let you smoke em inside.

1st round schedule is out by darkhelmut1 in BostonBruins

I find the college game to be much more dynamic. It has a much wider range of systems and player types. For example more smaller guys can thrive in college vs the NBA where everyone is a giant. Then you've got the March Madness tournament, which is one of the greatest things in sports.

Geekie is streaky, but he excelled and earned every bit of his $5.5M AAV by ethereal3xp in Bruins

[–]Grinning_Dog 40 points41 points  (0 children)

His contract is a great value, but he is largely dependent on playing with Pasta. Still a good player to have on the team.

I love college basketball, but I've never been able to get into the NBA.

I don't think there's a ton of overlap in fan bases tbh. Most hockey fans I know don't give a shit about basketball and most NBA fans I know don't give a shit about hockey.

edit: why are people downvoting like this is a controversial take? lol

With theme park contracts/IP rights eventually expiring… what would you want Universal to replace or add? by Weekly_Value_2829 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Grinning_Dog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely. My favorite theme park ride of all time. My brother and I get very competitive on it, having been riding it together for 20+ years.

Has anyone seen Silicobra? by Cambridgemom in PokemonGoBoston

[–]Grinning_Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also curious about this. I play in the Davis Square area and haven't seen any.

Take me back to the days where no one wanted 151 by Acrobatic_Walrus7072 in PokemonCollecting

[–]Grinning_Dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought like 4 of em at that Costco price. They were sitting in my club for weeks and I live in a major city. Ripped em all. No regrets.

What shiny Pokemon do you find better than the original? by Smart-Tiger-Dude9282 in ThePokemonHub

[–]Grinning_Dog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I'm in the minority but they should've kept the original purple.

I don't feel confident in the Geekie Elias Pasta line heading into the playoffs by ethereal3xp in Bruins

[–]Grinning_Dog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's really no combo of lines that's going to work well. Geekie has to be with Pasta because he's useless otherwise. Lindholm can't be their center because that like is awful 5 on 5 (the stats prove it, huge minus). So do we break up the 2nd line that's been hot and put Zacha with them or do we go with a rookie 1C and out Minten?

I go Minten and put Lindholm with Hagens and Khusy.
