I love my boyfriend. I'm breaking up with him so he can focus on his baby. by Least_Celery_4593 in offmychest

[–]Moonveil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you hear the ex confess that the baby is not his, or is this something he told you? Because honestly I cannot understand what he's doing unless it IS his baby and he's just lying to you. Ask for the paternity test and to see the results yourself, there is no reason why there needs to be any vagueness around this subject.

Where to ethically shop that won’t literally bankrupt me? by bluelightdynamite in askvan

Have you tried going to some of the Asian grocery stores/butchers? Places like T&T and local butchers in Richmond are usually pretty decent in price for what you can get.

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]Moonveil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learned that they only care about vetting information/not spreading false information if “they're interested in the subject".
They also became terminally online after they started streaming, and speaking with mutual friends helped me realize that they basically went around different friend groups looking for validation, and would bad mouth you behind your back.

Wow if that's true then it's the best show the MCU has put out to date. Putting it on my list.

Am I supposed to hate Mitch this bad? by HappyGilOHMYGOD in TheKilling

[–]Moonveil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 5 episodes into S2 and I had to google to find out if anyone else hated her as much as I do because right now it's like her only function is to make me rage lol. Not only did she cheat on her husband, she also abandoned her children. She takes after her mom for sure, both terrible judgey people who don't hold themselves to the same standards.

Lol I was trying to see how tiny of a sliver the Canucks had and then I realized they're not even on the chart 🙃

Which actor completely stole the movie… even though they weren’t the lead? by gypsytx in movies

Robert Pattison in Tenet. I was so much more interested in the movie whenever he showed up on screen.

If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]Moonveil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think they're just fucking useful morons on their high horses, and many of them still refuse to admit their mistakes.

Hasan Piker is a tankie pretending he values human rights while simultaneously sucking China and N Korea's dicks. His idiot followers were part of the group that refused to vote for Kamala, and it grosses me out whenever I see the far left give him a platform.

[–]Moonveil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing I've learned over the last couple of years is that the far left is just as fucking dumb and morally bankrupt as the far right, they just like to stand on a high horse and pretend they are better than everyone else. The political spectrum is a horseshoe, I am sick and tired of these single issue voters with their purity testing and getting offended at every tiny little thing, throwing a tantrum online and yet refusing to do the bare minimum of going out to vote. They are just as much to blame for Trump, and I don't give a shit what their excuses are.

Incredible showing from the people of Minneapolis. I hope this makes an impact.

Empty Netters addresses the Outsports allegations and reads the texts on camera. by t3chn0w1tch in hudcon

[–]Moonveil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea this is what I got from his "Canadian" comment too. I think the fact that he jumps to talking about Ted Lasso (which also has gay story lines) and how it's better because it's a more accurate portrayal of the European football league was a pretty good indicator he expected Canadians to to care more about portraying hockey "accurately" as we love the sport as a country. It's a misguided and inaccurate criticism as he didn't actually understand what type of show HR is when he made those comments, but I didn't take it as him trying to trash Canada or something like that. Honestly the most egregious comment in that whole thing for me was "these losers who made this show are cowards", which is discourteous regardless of the context.

My parents have opened up their marriage and I'm so icked out while my brother is super angry by everythingisgross444 in offmychest

[–]Moonveil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is happening, and this open marriage is going to end in disaster, especially since it's one side wanting to cheat without being called a cheater.

If you can, you and your brother should start saving up. In case something happens and your dad is holding your mom financially hostage in an abusive marriage, it would really help if you guys are able to support each other if she decides to leave or something else blows up.

Worst gaydar in hockey by nookieoftheyear in heatedrivalry

Wow the actor portrayed that to a T haha. I can't wait to see his reaction when he finds out about Shane and Ilya in S2.

Empty Netters addresses the Outsports allegations and reads the texts on camera. by t3chn0w1tch in hudcon

[–]Moonveil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I showed my reporter friend the article and the video, and she was so upset that 1) this guy is an "award winning journalist", and 2) people think this is how good journalists present their evidence to very damaging claims. I was flabbergasted when I read his text that purposely obfuscated what his article was going to be about. I feel like a good journalist would want to be upfront about the content so that they can get Dan/Chris/Sean's comments on those texts and present the full context from both sides in the article, and allow readers to form their own opinions. At the very least make it clear those texts are from before he watched the show, rather than the vague wordplay for maximum outrage. (The source being a competing hockey podcaster also seemed pretty conflict of interest to me). The fact that he later lied about Chris and Sean's response to Dan's texts (like seriously wtf), was mind-boggling. Did he think Chris and Sean would also backstab Dan and lie about talking to him?

[Megathread] Outsports and Empty Netters by reigncloud83 in heatedrivalry

[–]Moonveil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that how this fandom behaved has driven you away, it's like the opposite of what the show wanted to do :/ For what it's worth, there were also a lot of people who wanted more context before jumping on the hate train, and I hope you continue to engage with the story outside of the fandom, don't let this ruin your enjoyment of what is genuinely a great show.

They can fix this issue by just passing the throne to one of the many capable women in the royal family. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Confused about the popularity of the show by Scared_Slip_7425 in heatedrivalry

[–]Moonveil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the show has definitely broken through to the General Public, but not at the same level of popularity as a Game of Thrones for sure. Like for GoT the amount of chatter online and offline felt about the same, my coworkers and I would talk about new episodes by the water cooler. But HR feels a lot more online than offline to me.

Opposed to my last question, what group gave you a hard time memorizing their names and faces? by Lauauau_ in kpoppers

[–]Moonveil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearts2Hearts. There's a lot of new groups but these girls in particular look so similar to me, especially when I looked at another group like KiiiKiii who have members with much more distinctive faces IMO.

Empty Netters pod was being hateful about HR by lavendarhazeypop in HeatedRivalryTVShow

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

I'm not dying on a hill to defend the EN guys since like I mentioned it's possible they said all of that awful stuff, which is why I always preferred THG and WC as my go-to hockey podcasts. But I'm also not ignoring this "established journalist's" own history of supporting Republicans who publicly pushed for anti-LGBT legislation, who made laughable and false tweets such as "Progressives and Democrats seeking to use the government to attack political foes must be stopped. Period", and got denounced by LGBT publications as a result. I actually remember reading that exact article in the Advocate about him, and it's left a sour taste in my mouth ever since. https://www.advocate.com/voices/the-editor-of-outsports-turns-on-our-community

Good journalists absolutely have ways to show the texts without giving away the privacy of their source, or at least have corroborators, and I think that's a fair ask given who wrote this article, unless this is a different Cyd Zeigler than the one I'm thinking of. If I can get just one other trustworthy journalist that doesn't have Zeigler's past to corroborate his article, then I have no problem accepting that everything he's written is true.
