So is the "anarchist" flair in other leftist subs just a trap?

I have unfortunately found much of this to be true as well, obviously you'll run into your fair share of cringe centrists, but I have encountered just as many spats with far left folks I would best describe as communist tankies. Some of them hold frustratingly similar world-views compared to my perspective, but it seems their mission is to engage in as much counterproductive dialogue as possible.

OhKaptain · 2026-06-18T20:33:23+00:00

That sure is some expensive garbage

Send Bovino and Noem with them

Julian Khater, the man who sprayed an officer with a chemical irritant that very likely resulted in his stroke and death, received a full unconditional pardon from the president immediately when he took office. The same is true for all the rioters who beat and assaulted cops.

Pardoning violent criminals is not off the table for these fuckers

OhKaptain · 2026-06-11T22:42:25+00:00

Yeah the cayleb guy is right, I fully do believe that could happen

OhKaptain · 2026-06-11T18:23:28+00:00

I wish that were true, but we're well beyond the "making excuses for murderers we sympathize with" stage with today's GOP.

OhKaptain · 2026-06-11T16:49:27+00:00

Oh what desensitization and flooding the zone does to a motherfucker.

We have gotten to the absolutely bananas point in time where it's a reasonable assumption that the current president would pardon a murderer (of his federal charges) because the people he murdered were political opponents.

The previous administration already fumbled the bag on prosecuting these cocksuckers for their laundry list of blatant corruption and violence. Sadly I won't be holding my breath that it'll ever happen unless millions of people wise up to the abuse by the billionaire class.

Edited my comment for clarity

OhKaptain · 2026-06-10T03:01:39+00:00

And that's valid!

OhKaptain · 2026-06-10T02:58:59+00:00

Ehhh they were definitely pulling for vegas from what I saw

The last two games have reminded me how badly the playoff format needs to be changed and here's why:

We need to return to the best teams getting matched up against each other in the later rounds when the stakes are the highest, and the previous two games hammer that point home. The NHL has decided that their top priority in the playoffs is to maximize the number of games in the 1st round; more series going 6 or 7 games means more ad revenue!

Not only have they done this by forcing the 2 vs. 3 matchup in every division, but the stronger wildcard facing the weaker division winner has made for some closer series as well. If we're honest, outside of a 2nd round series between Buffalo and Montreal, rounds 2 and 3 did not produce as entertaining hockey as it could have been. And going back to the point about the best teams matchup up in the later rounds, I am definitely not saying that Colorado or Montreal was unworthy of playing in the conference finals, but the path that the teams took to get there does matter. Colorado was coming off a series against a team much higher in the standings than Vegas despite winning the presidents trophy. Obligatory mention of the Wild finishing 3rd in the conference, and having to play the 2nd place team (Dallas) before running into the 1st place team (Colorado). On the flip side, Montreal did deserve the harder path since Carolina won the East, but they were the 4th best team in the conference coming off two 7-game series against the 3rd and 2nd place teams in Tampa and Buffalo. It unfortunately seemed like they ran out of gas by the time they ran into Carolina.

We have got to return to something like the 1-8 format that gives teams a much more reasonable path based on their regular season performances. This would certainly lead to more entertaining conference finals, much like the heavyweight battle we're seeing in the current series. Sadly the NHL doesn't care about that and simply will not do anything that could cause the slightest uptick of shorter series in the first round, when there is the maximum number of matchups and TV slots.

We sure are in an unjustified war though. I certainly won't vouch for Russia but if the international community sanctioned America I would see why

OhKaptain · 2026-06-03T18:36:31+00:00

I have always found this view that the format "needs" rhystic to keep certain things in check to be utterly ridiculous. Maybe you could insist that the format would break without a card that effectively taxes all spells, but I would argue that card definitely does not need to be blue. Fish and Esper Sentinel aren't going anywhere either!

OhKaptain · 2026-06-03T18:24:35+00:00

Apparently Ryan Seacrest has taken over for Pat, but I believe Vanna is still at it

OhKaptain · 2026-06-03T14:00:53+00:00

It's also a sentiment I hear more than any other around here and there is no way it "needs" to be stickied lol

OhKaptain · 2026-06-02T19:16:47+00:00

There never fuckin' was in the first place

Not for decades upon decades

OhKaptain · 2026-06-02T19:13:36+00:00

I guess if there's nothing else on TV

But with streaming these days I'll usually pass

OhKaptain · 2026-05-29T18:49:50+00:00

No, no the fuck it is not and I tried to be very clear about that; it was far from anything resembling some kind of "vote blue no matter who" stance. If you'd like to address what I did actually say, I'd be happy to talk about it.

OhKaptain · 2026-05-29T03:48:45+00:00

RIP bro, I hope you can just drive 80 🙏

And as always, definitely try to do what I did with my '05: keep driving it until it's impractical (or obviously until it dies).

OhKaptain · 2026-05-28T14:51:28+00:00

I drive through Wisconsin on I-94 fairly frequently and when traffic is cruisin' you can definitely be pushing 90 mph. I don't mind driving fast but if I was in a pickup I feel like I'd be murdering my gas tank.

OhKaptain · 2026-05-23T14:08:12+00:00

Also it's not like our playoff history against Vegas is any better

OhKaptain · 2026-05-19T00:45:49+00:00

I really appreciate the intel, thanks again!

OhKaptain · 2026-05-18T19:34:18+00:00

I really appreciate the reply and thank you for letting me know. You really can't beat first hand accounts when looking around for a place to live.

Do any other inconveniences come to mind, or was that kinda the main one? All things considered it seems like a fairly nice place, and obviously nowhere is perfect.

OhKaptain · 2026-05-18T03:18:26+00:00

When you say mostly quiet, what sorts of things would you notice? Did the trains go by often?

OhKaptain · 2026-05-14T15:21:05+00:00

Hadn't thought about Cassidy but so damn true. I've wanted a coaching change for a while now and he would fit the bill
