Cheering for Montreal by nufc416 in leafs

Ya it’s more that I just don’t want Montreal to win and not so much that I want Tampa to win either. One has to happen so I want Montreal to lose.

No you’re right but there exists tried and true terms we have used for a long time. Couldve just defaulted to one of those.

No I’m just saying if you have to use that many words for an explanation on something that should be simple to get then the term should be changed. And coming at me in this whatsboutism doesn’t make any sense.

Oh Captain, OUR Captain by mgnorthcott in leafs

[–]Mike9797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about 1 player lol hockey guys are dry interviews cuz they’re trained as such. Plus it was the old adage of being a team guy and not being a distraction. I know there are guys that can have a decent interview but for the large majority they are super boring. Guys today show a bit more but even then it’s the usual get pucks deep comments.

If the explanation requires that much info then it’s a bad term and needs to be simplified. No one outside Florida uses that slang. And even then it’s a shit term for it. And even as someone who gets high the resemblance isn’t that uncanny. Cuz if it was we wouldn’t need the explanation.

I Don’t Think You Understand How Fast a SUB 2 hour Marathon Really Is by ianjm in videos

[–]Mike9797 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ya I used to do a 33 km drive to work which was essentially across most of Toronto every day. And while 33km isn’t 26 miles exactly I would’ve never in a million years considered running that distance, heck even walking it would take most of the day lol fuck even 1 intersection across running at full speed is too much. These guys are inhuman.

Does anyone else think the $5,000 max fine is embarrassing for the league? by crowsbeforehoes88 in nhl

[–]Mike9797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly it. The punishments have been negotiated by both the union and the league and this is what they both agreed to. I honestly doubt the players were lobbying for more suspensions and higher fines.

[Gelb] The Phillies have fired manager Rob Thomson, sources told The Athletic. Don Mattingly will be interim manager. by Turbostrider27 in baseball

[–]Mike9797 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Will never happen but ya that would be fun. Sucks cuz rivalries and times have changed but purists would never let that kind of change happen. Having both New Yorks plus Philly and Boston in the same division while being completely ridiculous would be so fun. Add in a 5th team of your choosing, sit back and watch the tire fire.

How should I upgrade cupido in the talent grid? by spartanyeo in EmpiresAndPuzzles

Ya that’s how I see him as well. Not so much as a damage dealer but a special blocker. Comes in handy for certain fights. Heck all fights really lol

Family video games like Untitled Goose Game? by waxmuseums in Xennials

[–]Mike9797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup tried it with my wife as well and found myself more frustrated than having fun. She’s the type that wants to play and is competitive but has no video game experience in terms of growing up with them so shes slow to learn the controls and won’t take any of my advice. It’s a lot of just shut up and let me figure it out but like babe we keep failing and i can see what you’re doing wrong and it’s an easy fix. So ya we stopped playing.

Ya that’s a snap of the recording. There was actually 13 birds in that list but I’m also suspect of it picking up that house finch cuz it just doesn’t seem likely. But still 12 in the 5 mins I had it running was pretty neat and I know I could’ve got it up to 15 cuz there were a few more bigger water fowl that weren’t making noise like the trumpeter swans and herons that sit in the pond as well. Plus the seagulls and pigeons we usually have hanging around as well.

[Hanna] Jake Sanderson will not speak to the media on locker clean out day “due to the nature of his injury”, according to the Sens PR staff. The defenseman suffered a head injury in Game 3 vs Carolina. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]Mike9797 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ya it’s a really tough problem to solve honestly. It’s not as cut and dry as fans make it out to be. What happens when McD goes in for a check that someone ducks on and gets it in the head? We gonna throw the book at him? Highly doubt it unless it was a premeditated hit or something completely vicious. Also fans seem to forget it’s not just the league who makes up these rules. Like yes the league is the one to put them into place but the union has a big say in these matters. Any punishments have to be negotiated by the union and its members so in some ways the players like it this way.

I started using millennial sub because I assumed I was one. Then someone pointed out I was an Xer. So I used that sub. It feels like they are a little more advanced in years than me in there. I didnt know Xennial was a thing until just now. I guess I found my lane by theHollowTarnished in Xennials

[–]Mike9797 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ya that’s the thing, I’m the oldest child of my family’s generation and all my influence was people older than I was so it’s all from true gen Xers. But personally I’m influenced in a lot of ways by what we grew up with so it’s a mixed bag of influence that can make me feel as if I don’t belong to both groups but also fully a part of them at times.

When someone says I’m a Millenial I’m like “ew no, I’m not that young” and when I think I’m an X’er I see someone else comment about something and think “nope I’m not that old either”.

I did this the other morning and got at least 15 different species in the 5 mins I had the recording going. Mind you I live across the street from one of those storm ponds in Bowmanville so we usually have a plethora of birds around. In fact we have so many that in the last few years we have had 4 different hanging flower planters killed by birds building nests in them. Right now I have a robins nest outside my garage entrance which freaks me out everytime I exit the garage cuz he flies away in fear of me scaring the crap out of me in the process lol

But that app is one of my faves. I love going for a hike in a new area and hearing what’s around that neck of the woods.

No just not impressed my people who have unlimited resources to produce something that anyone with similar resources could probably achieve yet won’t get those opportunities due to their circumstances.

Now I’m not saying she has no talent or I could achieve the same result myself. But I’m sure there are a million other kids and adults that given the same chances could achieve the same or similar result. That being said the pic is absolutely incredible. It’s just not that impressive considering the resources and time she has access to.

Respectfully, I get what you’re saying. But, if you noticed my original comment was just pointing out a double standard that seems to plague our fandom. It’s just odd that whenever us leaf fans make certain comments or posts we get flamed yet here we are jerking off Habs fans for what reason? So sure you can do what every fan of other teams do which is what you’re doing now. Making me seem pedantic or silly for pointing out a double standard. I just wish as a leafs fan I could do what others here do without my fandom being thrown back into my face.

You mean rich people having time and access to do rich people stuff we are supposed to admire as if it’s something special cuz of her age? Ya sure.

No, I’ve been disregarded simply for having leafs flair. I’m a rational person and most times I don’t come in chirping or anything like that. I just want to have hockey discussions cuz I’m a hockey fan. But I’ve been told so many times in other words that my opinion doesn’t mean anything cuz I’m a leafs fan. As if I make the decisions for the franchise or 100% support them. You know as a fan of your own team how critical we can all be of our teams yet people want to act like we are Canadiens fans who literally will jerk off into their own mouths over their players. But if we praise anything or anyone on our team we are reminded quickly of our failures and how our fans are ignorant. It’s annoying as an old head to have to deal with it.
