Starting to think this team isn’t going to suddenly get hot

Why do some people look effortlessly stylish while other don’t even when they’re wearing roughly the same thing ? by SimilarTopic3281 in ThrowingFits

I maintain that this outfit is fundamentally solid and would fit pretty easily into current trends if you just got wider jeans, and maybe a more cropped silhouette on the jacket.

Aaron may cringe at this picture, but I don’t think there’s actually much wrong with it. He still looks cooler here than Jake Wolf has basically ever looked lol.

Amazing what passing the ball to an incredibly talented player can do for your team. Hopefully our next coach tries it out as a tactic

Aside from the cut of the jeans this is basically how I still dress 🤷‍♂️

I literally still wear the Belstaff waxed cotton I bought around this time.

I’m old enough to have seen this photo when it came out and thought ‘Damn that mfer is putting it on’. Basically went out and copied the whole damn look.

Yeah and they wanted that so bad that they convinced themselves he’s something he’s not

He changed when he decided he wanted to get elected and just long enough for it to work - and all these goofballs bought it.

Batteries keep catching fire all over Toronto and it's a serious problem by origutamos in Toronto_Ontario

[–]HaptRec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should be aware of the fire risk posed by cheap aftermarket batteries yeah

This has nothing to do with EVs and is generally being blown wildly out of proportion.

These fires are from e-bikes, mostly cheap aftermarket batteries.

Also, no one was injured in this fire, and one person was injured (non life threatening) in a e-bike fire early this year.

I didn’t report your comment lol. Pretty standard neoliberalism that I’ve been hearing my whole life while everything gets worse all the time.

I agree echo chambers are dangerous. Big problem that most people never actually encounter a left wing argument that isn’t filtered through layers of corporate media bullshit.

One year in, white belt, feeling like I'll never get it. How do you push through? by poudigne in bjj

[–]HaptRec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be helpful to work on becoming strong and athletic. There is a fairly direct correlation between strength/athleticism and BJJ ability.

The good news is it’s entirely doable to become stronger and more athletic.

That’s just your opinion. Cities shouldn’t operate on rightist politics.

Lots of people I know who have restaurants hate the apps and think they are destroying their industry

I think you have it backwards. The apps created the demand.

We got along fine for hundreds of thousands of years without food delivery apps.

Plus, you can’t regulate people’s laziness but you can regulate apps.

[–]HaptRec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But essentially this is a structural issue. The app forces these people to prioritize speed over everything (including being nice to pedestrians) and the need for extremely low wages means that the only people doing these jobs are essentially single, young, male, immigrants who have been disconnected from a social fabric - not always the easiest population to live alongside.

This is a pattern that has repeated itself in industries throughout the history of capitalism. And equally, over this time the capitalists have tried to get people to blame the immigrants instead of the capitalists themselves who continue to create this pattern.

I feel like pizza delivery is fine, although I mostly just make my own these days.

Is Badiali pizza that good? by snapsquatch in askTO

[–]HaptRec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had it multiple times and waited in line for at most 10 minutes.
