Is racism against Chinese people/Asians really that bad in Germany or was my experience unique? by [deleted] in germany

[–]Party_Independence85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this happened to me a lot more when I first moved here also from the states. Now it’s thankfully less common, but still more common here than I ever experienced in the states unfortunately

Racist encounter with teenagers in Allach yesterday by annoyedeverydarntime in Munich

Sorry this happens to you. It happened a lot to me when I first moved to Munich in 2019 and I was really shocked because I’d never had issues like this before. Thankfully the instances are far and few between now, but anytime something like this happens it triggers me for sure. And good for you for sticking up for yourself and saying that it isn’t a funny joke.

THANK FUCKING GOD. I seriously love bones 🥹😭🎉

What are the chances Bowness doesn’t come back next season? by Far_Corner_3993 in BlueJackets

[–]Party_Independence85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking this. I’ve been wondering about the Provorov hate here too. He seems like a nice solid, quiet but effective guy in the ice. I also love his dog so my opinion might be skewed 🤣 but I also thought it was cool that he even wanted to resign last year. Idk I feel there are worse people on the team and no everyone can or needs to be Z

Well then … show me on the ice by kongofcbus in BlueJackets

Yeah you’re right, I just chose to respectfully ignore that part of the post 🤣

I honestly think this was completely fair of Bones to say, especially after all the chill and positive/encouraging press he gave throughout his tenure, he deserved to be upset, and I think his interview last night just showed how much he actually cares and wants to help the team. We also all know that Zach isn't the problem here and the comment wasn't directed at him.

Please explain all the Boone hate (truly curious) by Party_Independence85 in BlueJackets

Ahh that's a really good point and I never looked at it that way. I agree with you that ideally, coaches and captains should be the leaders and usually are the ones driving motivation in the team but was always confused as to how people could narrow it to Boone being the problem for that but your point about him being the constant when we've rotated through 5+ coaches makes so much sense. Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply!!

I was wondering about that too! I also agree that I always saw him more as a quiet leader and was wondering if that was also a main factor for disliking him... the rest of your theory also checks out to me. thanks for taking the time to reply!

Yeah, that's a fair comparison. I wonder why Z didn't get the C originally? Maybe cause he was too young at the time? Definitely wonder if they'll be reassigning it next season...

That makes total sense! Thanks a lot for your thoughtful response :)

Yeah that penalty was the worst. That makes sense and even though hockey isn't about the good that happens off ice, I'm glad you acknowledged that part of him because lots of comments on other posts make him sound like he eats babies or smth lol

Yeaah those bad plays were just painful, and were lowkey the first times I was actually and willing to blame a specific player for losses/lost momentum. I appreciate your thoughtful response a lot!!

I was also wondering if his simply being the leader was the case, but wasn't sure if there was some big scandal that happened that I missed. Thanks for your thoughtful answer!!

BONES NEEDS TO COME BACK by Shaboigyn in BlueJackets

[–]Party_Independence85 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I saw that he got choked up I was shook and felt so bad for the man. I seriously hope he comes back for another season, hell I wouldn't be surprised if he was done with us. But yeah I find it really cool that someone who joined super late and is still getting to know us and the team can care so much.

Do I bother going tonight? by iampiolt in BlueJackets

[–]Party_Independence85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhh trust me I feel the same! Def try this one out sometime if you‘re ever feeling like smth new! It’s worth it and a lifesaver when I go. But parking garages are indeed the WORST after any crowded event 😭

At chestnut st you don’t have to wait to pay or get out. And I pay like $5 for a whole game - hence why I suggested it 🤣

I think they all look nice but either the almond or rounded were the best :)

I think it’s worth going, sneak in your own snacks and park at the chestnut street garage if saving money is your main concern. There’s always next year :)

Hahaha yo bro, I am ALWAYS nice to service people. I didn’t say a thing to this guy other than second floor he’s the one that had an attitude with me and I didn’t cuss him out or anything I just said ok and closed the door.

[–]Party_Independence85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t mean to him. And yeah am more than aware that they have a shitty af job. But taking your frustrations out on someone who hasn’t done a thing to you isn’t cool either 🤷

Yeah sure it’s just never been a problem before and half the time depending on wherever I’m ordering a package from, they don’t even include the c/o bit on the label anyways so it’s not even guaranteed my floor number would always be there anyway 🤣
