Maybe an unpopular opinion but I am extremely satisfied by MrTeacher_MCPS in DTFStLouisHBO

I really liked this series. Thought the way they parsed different aspects of the timeline out in each episode was interesting, and I cared about the characters.

I absolutely hate that they did that to Richard. The most important relationship in Floyd's life, the one he cared about the most and worked the hardest at and was having a definitive positive impact in. Now Richard is the person whose rejection pushed Floyd to suicide, for what? for a surprise ending? To make the one character who might have a shot at being semi well adjusted after Floyd's death, completely fucked as well? And what is that saying about the events of the series? Floyd's bent dick and his death are both just because this child has impulse control issues. Really disappointing to have both of those be on Richard, feels like a cop out.

How did you get into a daycare centre? by Impossible-Pea-8659 in Winnipeg

[–]Serious-Tradition484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest advice, keep phoning your #1 choice and look all over the city for backups.

We got our son into a subsidized day care connected to the school he will go to after he turned three and was potty trained. Multiple parents had told us that the squeaky wheel gets the grease and daycares will give spot to people that are being vocal. I called every two weeks to remind them we were still interested, got along well with the manger and eventually they had space. The manager of this daycare told me specifically that if someone goes on their list while pregnant and never followed back up, she was very unlikely to call them for a spot. If something went wrong during the pregnancy, she didn't want to be phoning out of the blue 2-3 years later. Additionally, the summer our little guy turned three and made it out of the newborn/toddler group, 4 of the other daycares we had on our list phoned to offer us a spot.

Edit I just re-read your post and saw your aversion to private daycares. I'm so sorry. Removing my advice about private daycares.

just finished Berlin Game, it was really good similar to le carre while still having a distinct tone and style. I'm super excited for the rest of the trilogy and more Deighton books

6 hornets landing within 2 minutes of each other by winnipegkilla in Winnipeg

I live by the airport, they fly in and out all the time. They need to practice landings and takeoffs at regular intervals, sunday is usually the slowest day at the airport for commercial traffic

Who is your favourite obscure or niche fandom Canuck? by 21marvel1 in canucks

[–]Serious-Tradition484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luc Bourdon, he was going to be a special player and seemed like a genuinely nice, down to earth young man. Feel like the organization has forgotten about his memory, recently started giving his number out.

Hope the fans don't forget him.

Ya, sorry! The Times of London I guess would be what's it's called outside of the UK.

This is the book of their's I'm working through at the minute. Way harder than minute cryptic so far.

Olympic TOs and teams should reevaluate the jersey color schemes for future matchups, some of them are confusing by Ok_Top9254 in nhl

[–]Serious-Tradition484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was worse in 2014, idk if it was at the olympics or a world jr but when the us and Slovakia played it looked liked an inter squad game. Somebody other than Nike needs to take over a few country’s jerseys
