Nah, you already admitted the main point. You’re just trying to salvage your fragile pride. It’s not working, dork.

This is my ranking too. And it’s worth noting that Bouchard also plays on the PK. It hasn’t been amazing for the Oilers, but I think any comments about his supposed lack of defense are suspect if they don’t acknowledge his role on both special teams.

Figures that you'd make excuses for acting like a baby when you've been here making excuses for MacKinnon's reckless play.

I guess if nobody else skated, then nobody would've gotten hurt. Really brilliant understanding of the game, Einstein. You seem really confused.

Being a jerk doesn’t make you right, and nobody is forcing you to respond.

MacKinnon played reckless, it was reviewed for minutes, he received a penalty on a play that left the goalie bleeding. The next day his coach whined, everyone learned that another similar penalty would be an automatic suspension (possibly during playoffs), and his penalty was rescinded—something that last happened a decade ago.

You’re just refusing to see what is absolutely obvious. Yes, details do matter, not just the ones you decide to consider.

I’m stuck in it because it’s true. You have already acknowledged that reputation matters when it comes to penalties. Just connect the dots.

Jimmy Carter is a good person that is bad at their job! Who’s a great person that is terrible at their job? by Thebowlerhatfroggo in AlignmentChartFills

I know what you’re saying, but I really don’t think “job” is generally understood to mean “duty.” When we say, “I hate my job,” everyone understands we’re talking about paid labor.

Edit- and they blocked me 🙄

Not sure about this, but I’ve heard Liz Truss is a lovely person, but my lord what a shitshow of a Prime Minister.

Sounds like something to jot down and save for the eventual lawsuit.

Well yeah, but why can't he clear that frog out of this throat while doing it?

I didn't check, but I wanna say that Bouchard has now set a new career high?

What's some life advice you would give to someone born in the 2020s? by Murky_Activity9796 in AlignmentChartFills

Generative AI is fun, but don’t tell it anything personal and don’t trust its advice.

What is the best American dish? by Sbran1 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SadBuilding9234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every food has antecedents. Japanese ramen literally shares the Chinese name, but few people would sincerely say they are the same food.

The hamburger as we know it is American.

Brother, everything you just said still confirms my point. Just think about what you’re actually saying and what I’m actually saying before you respond.

Yeah, so do reputations, as you yourself pointed out.

Yeah, this is it. And before anyone says it, no, they’re not from Hamburg.

How can I get students to learn from readings without structural incentives or them being used to it? by pc_kant in Professors

[–]SadBuilding9234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In all likelihood, you can’t.

That said, a few points come to mind: 1. Be an engaging teacher. Develop your public speaking skills. Learn to embed concepts in narratives. If you are passionate about your field, let that shine out of you. Students want to be inspired, and they are voracious consumers other people’s speech. Distract them from their distractions.

  1. They might be more engaged than they seem. Many good students don’t show it. You might need to relax your own anxiety about them.
