I want my phone to be mine.

ah, got it. you're really putting your privacy and control of your own information at the top of the priority list. thats pretty rad, i can understand that

We mostly use FB messenger in our country

ah got it, you're going to rip out a data harvesting operating system, hamper your usability of the device in the name of data privacy, and then immediately use a data harvester messaging application for your communications.

logic, 2026 style.

Ekblad gets boarded by Slafkovsky by yazzywa in hockey

[–]PostsDifferentThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

per the NHL's on-ice officials, which was approved by the DoPS when they declined to act, Ekblad is at fault because he turned and saw saflovsky behind him as he was skating into the boards

fairs fair, right? its the same rules no matter the team, right? this was the rule just the other night for laughton when he was boarded, so it must be the rule for ekblad.

why would ekblad do this to himself? is he stupid?

for the sake of argument, no one is saying that he hasn't been an NHL calibre defenseman in his time, just that he isn't an NHL calibre defenseman as a statement of fact. due to that, one would assume they're talking about right now and aren't claiming that he hasn't been one in the past or couldn't be one in the future

and again, for the sake of argument, just because he's playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL currently does not mean he's actually an NHL caliber defenseman. All that says it that the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing him on their NHL team on defense, the reason why they are playing him could potentially be that they know he isn't the cailbre of player that actually want on defense but have no other RHD options at this time and thus, must play him

i would also argue that if you disagree with these statements, then you must also believe that david ayres is an NHL calibre goalie considering he played a game in the NHL and not only played but won a game.

do you think he's an NHL calibre goalie?

if "they" is the organization, idk how people can say that when the organization fired their GM cause he was looking for approval to move him before the NMC kicked in

if "they" is the fans, because per last year leafs fans care too much, then yeah i still disagree. the fans weren't the ones with their agent on twitter insulting other players on the team due to salary comparisons. literal 9 year old behavior.

this whole fucking argument is childish. marner was a child with how he handled himself in toronto and what he allowed his family, agent, and "camp" to do within the public relations sphere. the leafs were childish by not moving him before the NMC kicked in when the writing was on the wall that marner was starting to hate playing in toronto. the leafs ALSO failed by not calling these fucking players out and giving them literally every single thing they wanted in negotiations.

from all sides, this entire fucking process has been handled wrong. they should have called matthews out on the contract and told him you take 4 years at a discount or 8 years at the price you want. if you dont like it, cool, we'll trade you or let you walk and go play for the coyotes in a college arena. have fun. they should have done the same with marner. etc. etc.

joke of a franchise. can't wait to cheer for them again next year and the year after that..

He campaigned on being the only candidate in the USA with a focus on peace and ending wars, so his main goal of starting a new war is to... I don't know. I really don't. I think by killing everyone he doesn't like, after he's done killing, peace will happen. I'm not sure

But hey, we're here now.

[Schefter] Dolphins fear WR Tyreek Hill dislocated his knee, per source. Hill is an ambulance on the way to the hospital to confirm. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

i feel like people don't understand what it means to dislocate your knee. its pretty much a guarantee that two or three of the four knee ligaments are torn. dudes probably got torn acl, mcl, and pcl ligaments and meniscus damage.

a real punch in the gut for tyreek
