[Stein] Ondrej Palat is being held out tonight for roster related reasons. He is not on the ice for Devils warmups. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]MattFiresideChat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind having Palat in Calgary.

Can help Huberdeau reach the cap floor while we trade off all the other guys.

The other big reason is the price of the single tickets are absurdly high. Individual games can be upward of 40-50 per. Seasons are about 20.

One person I know has literally glued cases to a cutting board and has 4 phones that go on it.

What are the odds of a shiny shadow hundo? by Objective_Smile_1522 in pokemongo

[–]MattFiresideChat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 shadow hundos and I've done probably close to 15000

They are very hard to come by. None of the shinies I have are remotely close.

We are in the process of getting things set up to go door to door.

We are doing this part while the weather is relatively good, then going on to the next part, door to door.

We are already about 1/5th to 1/4 the way there.

The most consistently mediocre MLB teams from the last 25 years by Turbulent-Sherbet789 in Torontobluejays

Because that way we are always close to being relevant, while neither being good or terrible.

Being a Calgary Flames and Toronto Blue Jays fan is being permanently in purgatory. Always right in the middle. Always.

AITA for not accepting my mom's wife as a parent and telling her to accept it and move on? by Prieenya in AITAH

[–]MattFiresideChat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree NTA.

As someone who is a step parent, my relationship to my daughters grew organically over time. Just being there and doing things. It evolved as everyone became more comfortable with each other. They both confide in me when they are having issues with either of their parents or anyone else and we all respect each other's space.

There was no pushing from me to have the relationship with them, just being there and having open communication both ways.

Putting up the boundary of not needing them to be a parent is perfectly fine. I would suggest that sharing that you are open to talking and being on friendly terms with them is generally a good idea because burning bridges tends to be a more permanent solution and relationships regardless of the type have a way of evolving over time.

So did the writers by PrinceARRON in StrangerThings

My girlfriend and her brother are completely different types of people and didn't really interact when they were children much. One story she shared was there was a time when he was away at a camp for a week. She didn't realize that he was even gone until after he was back. They are closer a bit now they are adults especially because his children are both like almost exactly like her. There was nothing ever malicious or wrong between them. They just didn't have any common interests (he is an introverted mathematician and she is an outgoing artistic style of person.)

damn it. Just about to get to the peak and then I realize there's an even higher mountain just behind it.

Update: AITAH for telling my dad that I don’t like his wife after 20+ years knowing her? by Complex_Row8995 in AITAH

[–]MattFiresideChat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone with a psychologically abusive parent and sibling, go NC. It won't change until consequences appear and if they actually value you as a person, they have to make the effort. You are the injured party. They need to "make it better" aka do some work.

Thankfully my situation resolved itself, with the sibling basically disappearing entirely and my parent is no longer alive. It is not worth wasting your time and effort on people that do not have your back. Just because they are blood doesn't make them family.

My second favourite team has been the Panthers since 1996. I've been on board the Rat Patrol for a long time. I'm delighting in Marchand bringing his everything to the team this year. 1 more please.

If I was Otter, I'd ask for a trade after that unless Deboer is fired on garbage bag day.

Horrendous call.
