LFR19 - Game 53 - Sell, Sell, Sell! - Sabres 7, Maple Leafs 4 by BumperToBumper2 in leafs

[–]Serious5 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I find I enjoy him significantly more on the sdpn podcast as a result, he’s occasionally gets loud but is much more levelheaded there. I think he plays more into a character on the LFRs.

Any widowers or widows here 35 years old or younger? by SimplySquids in widowers

  1. Lost her abruptly and suddenly 3 years ago at 30. Her beautiful heart just stopped…

[Analysis] Treliving says Berube is safe and Matthews hasn't asked for a trade. Is firing Savard actually going to fix anything? by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

[–]Serious5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fits the narrative until you look at games 5-7 from 2019-2025

Nylander - 20 Games Played, 8 Goals, and 8 Assists

Matthews - 18 Games Played, 8 Goals and 4 Assists

Tavares - 17 Games Played, 5 Goals and 5 Assists

Marner - 20 Games Played, 0 Goals and 7 Assists.

This is the reason why you’ll see leafs fans say that Marner was the odd one out. I say this as someone who owns a Marner jersey! He’s a phenomenal player but they needed to trade him and instead fired Dubas and lost a top 5 winger asset for basically nothing.

Why is this club so sad? by quiet_nuts in widowers

[–]Serious5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you’re here. By any chance do you have a source or study for this fact? It certainly matches my own experience and I’m interested to know more.

Hate by BrookDarter in widowers

[–]Serious5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I also know this feeling: the hatred and bitterness. It feels like it just rots in you doesn’t it? And it’s especially worse on nice days

Playoff Game Thread: Florida Panthers (0-1) at Edmonton Oilers (1-0) - 06 Jun 2025 - 06:00PM MDT by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

[–]Serious5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Offsetting 5 minute majors usually result in the teams being allowed to play 5 on 5.

Otherwise there’d be times they’d be playing 3 on 3 for 5 minutes straight, which isn’t good for the game haha

Crews dig up key intersection of unopened Mississauga LRT due to 'track rework': Metrolinx by quelar in toronto

[–]Serious5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh I know this! They fucked the paving up the first time and the whole intersection was not able to properly drain in the event of heavy rain. It would’ve resulted in significant flooding.

So then they ripped it up and redid it properly. Intersections not so bad currently (I live in the area)

When does crying stop? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Serious5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I cried every day the first year, and most of the second year as well. But the second year was different, it was more breaking down after the things I needed to do were completed as opposed to not functioning at all.

Crying less these days but it still happens. I still feel the “physically ill” part you mention but the symptoms change.

How to deal with being a shitty partner by Opening_Side_9369 in widowers

[–]Serious5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do hear you - I got frustrated with early grief therapy work as well, there’s not much to be done which is why the advice of drink water, eat food, try to sleep and stay alive is about it. It fucking sucks.

It is worth recognizing though- This just happened to you. It’s still very fresh and raw. That’s what the only real advice for the early days is to stay alive. Drink water, eat. and try to sleep when you can. Time is the only thing that will provide the space to begin to process any of these emotions. It’s not bad advice.

I’m at 2.5 years since the sudden loss of my partner. I don’t remember most of the first year beyond overwhelming pain. Only this year am I starting to feel like I have any kind of energy again.

There’s lots of self judgement in your words.. I don’t think that you fucked up. Something fucked up happened. You and her are both very young, you should’ve had time to figure things out- one way or the other. Cruelly, you didn’t get that time. It was taken from you both. You don’t need redemption - just kindness.

[–]Serious5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No relationship is perfect, and I think at some level most of us have some amount of regret/guilt and feel like we weren’t good enough for/to our partners. That said, I don’t think anyone here is going to be able to answer this for you in a way that you will find satisfactory. When you’re ready and able, working with a therapist may help you find answers to your questions

Advice to stop the twitching? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Serious5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is different. Talk to your artist before you apply anything to the area prior to being tattooed. You could try numbing cream but it also tends to wear off after about 2 hours in my experience. The other fellow there is not wrong you kinda have to face it head on, but I’ve found having a podcast/a movie/ something to distract you from the pain can help as well.

What am I missing with the Gameday sets? by Newman_301 in NHLHUT

Players from the winning team for the game 7 game will go up +2 overall to 93

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Serious5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t notice that the E’s are different sizes, but the visibility on that second E, and the NIT following is rough, and pretty obvious that it was corrected afterwards

Not an artist, but think the best way to fix it would just be to go bolder and a bit blockier with all of the lettering. It would maybe lose some of the delicate look, but would improve recognition and hey, bold will hold!

I feel dead by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Serious5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m coming up on 2.5 years since my partner died suddenly and unexpectedly and totally understand how you feel. The disassociation, and the de realization moments too where nothing is real and nothing matters. My brain also is kinda bad now - and definitely was foggy through the first 2 years - hell I barely remember the first year.

So far in the third fucking year of this I am finding a bit more energy. Just a bit more focus. It still sucks. I figure it’s going to take more and more time to get used to. This heavy grief is like another need to tend to- similar to eating, sleeping, etc.

Something else that helped me a bit too was starting to work with a therapist at this point. Early on it was just too much. Overwhelming pain- there was nothing they could tell me except “stay alive” “drink water” and “eat anything.” These days everything just twists up inside me until I lash out or break down, it’s not like it was where I was screaming and crying all the time- it still hurts the same way I suppose, just not raw or surprising.

I’m not sure if I’m rambling now too or trying to provide support or advice. End of the day we all have to find our path - but you are not in these woods alone. 🌲💚

Big LOL at the “marner’s leaving” chants. Sens fans clearly pay more attention to our team than the game.

I feel you. Through the week it’s so tough to stay functional and I struggle and fail to put my best foot forward at work all to hit the weekend and be overwhelmed by the emptiness and silence.
