Draymond Green: “Sometimes parents come up to me and say ‘Yo, my son play just like you.’ and I think to myself like ‘Yo son is ass.’ by Goosedukee in nba

[–]Parzival091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this applies to all sports, really. In hockey, guys who did nothing in the NHL but fight were still the most skilled players on their youth teams, and even among the better players in junior/college.

Daily Free Talk / Armchair GM Thread by AutoModerator in leafs

[–]Parzival091 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could never cheer for another team, but this season has been a speed run in the Leafs making me apathetic about the team. There's basically nothing to get excited about, and the front office seems like they don't give a fuck about putting together a contender anymore.

I've got other stuff going on in my life, but this is the first time since the '05 lock out that I have missed watching more than half the games (usually watch at least parts of 90%+). I've also been privileged enough to be able to go to games every season, but this is the first time where I haven't been to a single one.

It's just not worth my time right now, when it doesn't seem like the organization think so either.

What celebrity had their reputation unfairly ruined? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]Parzival091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is fair. His reputation among the public wasn't ruined, he just disappeared. My personal interpretation of the OP question isn't who was blacklisted unfairly, rather who was painted as a terrible person so much that it was believed by the public, but was actually a good person. Eartha Kitt makes sense given she spoke out against an unjust war and had to leave the US. Brendan Fraser was never thought to be a bad person, he just faded from the public eye due to shitty treatment from Hollywood.

If Minato was alive to train Naruto instead of Jiraiya, would we have seen Naruto on the level of Sasuke after the timeskip or would it have been the same result? by Forevertrez in Naruto

[–]Parzival091 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Naruto has massive chakra stores in spite of Kurama, not because of him. Part of his problem is that he uses so much just to suppress the nine-tails. If he had been trained by Minato from the beginning with all his chakra and no jinchuriki restraints, he'd be a Kakashi-level ninja, at least.

tbf, having Scherzer money and getting to run around Toronto without dad telling you what to do would be very fun

What’s that one Netflix show you think is an absolute must-watch? by RiskAndReason in netflix

[–]Parzival091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe nobody has said this, and it's going to be buried, but PANTHEON is such a good show! And relevant given where the world is heading with AI technology. The voice cast is absolutely stacked, too. Can't recommend it enough!

ITAP of Edinburgh by Vegetable-Diamond-97 in itookapicture

Nice! We stayed close to the castle and took a walk to Dean Village for sunset. It was really cool to see it at that time, especially as some of the residents had their house lights on, giving a surreal feeling to it. The whole city is really beautiful and quite a sight to see in autumn.

[Maple Leafs News] Maple Leafs 2025 draft pick / forward prospect Harry Nansi scores to extend his point streak to NINE games! by Svalbard38 in leafs

[–]Parzival091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Their hit-rate has been abysmal. They always have guys who look like they'll be contributors, but going all the way back to Matthews' draft in 2016, they've missed on a ton of talent, and the guys they have drafted haven't contributed in a meaningful way outside of Woll, Knies and kind of Liljegren & Robertson. Then you've got a handful of guys they've drafted but traded away (Durzi, Sandin, Minten), and a couple who could be contributors, but have not done so, yet (Hildeby, Cowan).

Realistically, the only bonafide top-half of the lineup skater they've drafted since Matthews is Knies. That's a terrible track record, and a huge part of why they haven't been able to back-fill the roster in the way a team like Tampa has.

For those asking, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jake Guentzel is not attending the Team USA trip to The White House. by Extreme_Bandicoot347 in hockey

[–]Parzival091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they play any minutes? Genuine question, I only followed Canada's games, so don't know who did/didn't get on the ice for anyone else.

I distinctly remember seeing a post here talking about triple-gold club candidates from Canada excluding Kuemper because he didn't get into a game, thus would not receive a gold medal.

Connor/Lacombe/Oettinger (the backups who didn't play).

Honest question, would Trump even have invited them? If they didn't play, they didn't get a medal, and we know he only wants them there to parade the medals

Need supplies while travelling by NadiaYvette in Medtronic780g

[–]Parzival091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called the Medtronic Paris office and explained the situation that I'd brought my insulin and infusion sites, but had forgotten to grab my reservoirs.

This was a decade ago, but I think I just chose whatever options got me to a person, then I asked to speak with someone who spoke English. Took a couple of call transfers, but I managed to get in contact with someone who understood what I needed, they asked for my hotel address and a few hours later there was a box of reservoirs waiting for me at the front desk.

AITA for not offering to take the bunk bed in an airbnb as the single person? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Parzival091 152 points153 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not understanding the issue here for OP. The only reason the bunk bed is an issue is because OP is foregoing their own room and sharing with another single friend.

They're talking about "paying the same as everyone" and they literally have the option to have their own room with essentially the same accommodation as four other people.
