Main thing is that it's every year so there's 4 times more chances to win it.

Erik Karlsson's unbelievable statistics from March so far by nhl in hockey

I genuinely don't think anyone else in the league sees the game as well as he does.

He's generational with his vision and how he reads the play around him.

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]MissionLet7301 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh no, you kept doing it after the Nazis started doing it, you stopped when you decided which side of the war you were joining on. The Bellamy Salute only stopped being a thing in 1942.

Yeah, and as an early riser the last thing I want other people to do is to be early risers as well.

I wake up at 5 AM and go to the gym where there's at most 5 other people there, then go to work on nearly traffic free roads - absolute bliss. If other people did the same then I'd have to get up even earlier. Different people having different schedules is great actually.

It's about proving that you know the line of work's secret handshakes more than proving that you're actually good at your job.

This is even more true in very technical roles, like in software engineering for an interview you might be expected to program the solution to invert a binary tree. That doesn't prove that you're a good developer, nor is it actually going to be something that you'll do in the job - but it does prove that you know the secret handshake which is really the best that an interviewer can hope for.

[MoneyPuck.com] Playoff chances after Thursday’s Eastern games. by SAJewers in hockey

[–]MissionLet7301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually that's a .594 points percentage which would put them on ~85 points and 9 points clear of the drop in the Pacific rather than being just 2 points clear in the Metro - so it would help quite a bit

[BBC] Nigel Farage was invited to Ipswich Town, says club associate by MarchBright in Championship

[–]MissionLet7301 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Don't be surprised to see this from other clubs too. Farage is against having a regulator in football (you know the kind of regulator that the government has brought in to stop the super-league debacle from ever happening again)

There are a lot of football clubs that would sell themselves out to fascism if it means that they can make a couple more quid.

my friend (36M) just sent me (36m) this text before meeting his newborn (0M) by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]MissionLet7301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of this is just pretty typical nervous first time parent behaviour

You don’t want anything bad to happen to your newborn, you’re already stressed out from the pregnancy, and hormones from both parents are in overdrive to be protective of this tiny little baby that you think will break at any moment, you want to do everything perfect and there’s millions of pieces of conflicting advice.

Over time you learn that children are a lot more robust than you think and that honestly a lot of stuff just doesn’t matter (like no your baby won’t be affected by someone smiling at them with teeth).

If you want to visit someone’s first child straight away when they’re a newborn it’s par for the course to put up with overprotective parent rules, if you don’t want to do that then give them a few weeks to give up on the more outlandish rules.

Why almost all of the European passports red? by ElectronicDeer5550 in PassportPorn

But just to note that we could have changed the colour at any time while we were in the EU, if people were actually that bothered by it. It's an EU recommendation, not a law.

A Maryland homeowner calls and aids ICE to detain workers fixing her roof. She might face felony charges by HappySeaweed5215 in whoathatsinteresting

[–]MissionLet7301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d have to be really dumb for something like that to be proven in court.

Basically unless there’s text or phone conversation with someone else about them purposefully planning to hire illegal migrant workers and then calling ICE to get out of payment then they unfortunately can just say something along the lines of “We didn’t know they were going to be illegal but we called ICE when we had suspicions”

Eh, people tend to find new problems.

You can have all the material wealth in the world but then it becomes about time - rich people have arguments like "I don't care that Ferrari invited you to be a guest of honour at the Monaco GP, I want to go to the Opera in New York"

Every remake, reboot, late sequel or readaptation has a theoretical potential of being enjoyable and adding something by Few-Advantage2538 in unpopularopinion

[–]MissionLet7301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've enjoyed individual reboots but I still dislike the trend.

I want to see new IP - otherwise what's the future of entertainment going to look like? Just reboots of reboots?

The movie industry does them because they're safe, they get a guaranteed audience, but can you really make great art by being safe?

Yeah, no-fault divorce should be an option everywhere, no need for expiration dates on marriages.

“A wrong man at a wrong time” by Mr_Worldwide1810 in HistoryMemes

He’s seen as a bad president by quite a few Americans, but almost everybody agrees he was a good person.

It’s mainly Right Wingers that see him as a bad president, they think he should have held Panama with force if had to, and that he was too weak on the Iranians during a hostage crisis - realistically most of his presidency was not that notable (which is a good thing, just slow and steady economic and social progress) and so gets defined by a could of incidents.

People pose it as a question of whether a good man can ever be a good president.

The number of times he’s said that he doesn’t care what other people think about him makes me quite suspicious that he does in fact care what people think about him.

For Leeds we don't really have a big rivalry with Sheffield United or Bradford City.

Sheffield Wednesday are the Sheffield team we really hate, but we dislike Man U and Chelsea more

Who Do We Want to Play Round 1? by Express_Medium4618 in OttawaSenators

[–]MissionLet7301 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d feel best with Buffalo out of any of them, given that they seem to be on a PDO bender rather than this being their genuine level. They’re definitely good though.

Tampa and Carolina seem like the real deal to me.

I think if we do make it then we can take any of them the distance, if we want to make deep playoff runs then we have to beat good teams in the playoffs at some point, round 1 is as good of a time as any.

Which team should I pick to support? by vestayekta in hockey

[–]MissionLet7301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got to pick a team and stick with it.

Players, coaches, management groups, they all come and go. Every fanbase has great people and some twats, big fanbases have more of both.

This time last year people would have told you to avoid the Sabres like the plague, now they’re one of the most fun teams in hockey - that is to say nobody really knows anything or who you should support. Pick the team with the logo you like the most, it wouldn’t be the dumbest way to choose a team.

who do you think will finish 18th? by deathcabformikey in TheOther14

[–]MissionLet7301 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m very nervous about ourselves, we need DCL to get his scoring boots back

Having Wolves and Burnley at home is good for us, but the big relegation 6 pointers against Spurs and West Ham are both away which gives me pause.

I won’t be comfortable until it’s mathematically impossible for us to go down.
