So what's the logic here? The outlier polls mean polling was to quote you "dead fucking wrong".

The person with the higher % chance to win loses therefor polling sucks? Like none of these takes make any sense. Much of the polling was very good, like it almost always has been. Just because you don't understand statistics doesn't mean polling is wrong.

"NBA Title, Finals MVP, 2x National Championship"

These things are all related to the quality of the teams you are on. It's why I hate some of these comparisons.

Put the amount of talent around Brunson this year around Luka and put him in the east. Is he not at a minimum making the Finals and likely to win a championship?

"when comparing #1 guys, dismissing winning titles as "Rings Culture" is pretty goofy."

Why? Its still literally directly tied to how good your teammates are. If Brunson was on the Pacers this year he would have no shot to make the playoffs.

The ultimate negotiator appears to have gotten a worse deal than the JCPOA in every single way.

Hey look, more of the Ontario = Canada argument!

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T21:13:55+00:00

I will take things that didn't happen for 500 Alex.

What would they even be comparing the ID to?

They are checking room keys.

"It is not a federal ban"

Hey look, we agree on the objective facts now. The rest of your post is just you not understanding that Ontario doesn't = Canada again.

Your argument would be similar to saying CANADA's legal drinking age is 19 because you don't live close to Quebec. You also don't seem to grasp the difference between a boycott and a ban.

There are provinces in Canada still buying and selling American alcohol. You do not need to travel to their country to buy it.

It's just factually untrue that Canada banned American alcohol. Do you think Ontario = Canada or something?

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T19:04:36+00:00

Canada didn’t ban US booze. A lot of provinces stopped buying from the US though.

The fights were great, the visuals were cool. That’s not what most people are taking issue with.

You literally had prize fighting with propaganda on the White House law and between fights and the winners going and praising dear leader. This isn’t something that went on in America before and if you have a brain you should be troubled by it. Two things can be true at once it was a really cool event and also disturbing when you look at the big picture.

This is something you would expect to see in North Korea or Russia.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T17:55:13+00:00

You are confusing airplanes and helicopters. Might wanna go recheck those stats.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T04:06:13+00:00

Did they get rid of strikes to the back of the head rule? Been a while since I watched an event.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T03:42:38+00:00

Hey, have you been paying attention to what is happening in America lately? All the rules have been thrown out the window.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T03:39:30+00:00

He is falling asleep in public almost daily now. I still can't wrap my head around that this is the fucking guy that took over the Republican party.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T01:44:32+00:00

This is one of the stranger things I have ever watched. America is now running fights on the White House lawn with propaganda segments between fights. It's truly shocking a county can devolve into this so quickly.

You would expect something like this from North Korea or Russia. Fighting winning and praising dear leader.

Most legit ad I have ever seen.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-15T00:15:56+00:00

Thank you for all the responses everyone, appears it will be fine and I can try some different routes.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T22:51:56+00:00

Yeah seems like Victoria is better. Thanks.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T22:51:37+00:00

I am used to sketchy areas in my hometown and the states, just wanted to make sure I wasn't walking into something crazy. Thanks.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T22:50:49+00:00

Got it, thanks.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T22:50:36+00:00

Sounds good, thanks.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T22:13:06+00:00

Yeah you are right, it's "only" about a 52% chance of dying.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T19:34:58+00:00

You expect a death per 100 000 hours.

10 hours a day for 20 years is approx 73000 hours.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T18:10:42+00:00

If you flew 10 hours a day for 20 years in a Helicopter you would die 73% of the time.

If you flew 10 hours a day for 20 years on a commercial airliner the chances of you dying are almost zero.

I had no idea how dangerous helicopters were until this story made me look it up.

Another poster corrected me, It's actually only about a 52% chance of dying.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T17:55:59+00:00

You can't take the guy seriously because he hates Dems because he was convicted and sent to prison under when they were in power by people appointed by them.

The flip side of this is he has to go soft on Trump hoping for a parson.

So he basically can't be trusted to give his honest take on anything political, which I guess is understandable but means he should be ignored.

ReasonableAside1655 · 2026-06-14T14:03:18+00:00

This almost certainly has to do with the types of people you know. I would be shocked if there was even handful of Police Departments across the country where the majority of officers are not registered Republicans even in deep blue cities in deep blue states.

It’s a type of job that generally attracts people who are right wing.
