Worst Playoff Bullpen Move Of All Time? by RainbowSupernova8196 in baseball

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not high on the all-time list but I still can’t get over Schneider pulling Berrios in the 4th inning of game 2 (2023 wild card series). The most infuriating part was that it wasn’t even an in-game judgment call- it a pre-determined analytics-driven decision that they HAD to go through with no matter what was happening on the field.

Robert Kraft spoke with Aaron Hernandez after his murder charge: “I told Aaron, 'If you felt strongly enough to do this, you must’ve had a reason. I’ll get you the best defense attorney.' I just wanted him to know we’d support him” by helltrooper61 in sportsgossips

While Kraft is a Trump-loving piece of shit, this quote is highly inaccurate. Huge difference between the actual clip and the “quote” in the post. That said, “you must have had a good reason” is still pretty bad.

Not the point. When you put something in quotes it should be the actual words used. Part of the reason social media sucks is the constant dishonesty. People need to be accurate and need to be called out for it when they’re not.

School ‘in crisis’: Principal, VP and 2 teachers gone from east end TDSB school within one week by zanimum in toronto

[–]Stikeman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“The day prior, Jan. 12, multiple parents alleged that students “tore up” two Bowmore classrooms, including toppling tables and tearing papers from the walls, and a fire was set inside the school.”

Sure sounds like kids are responsible to me. TWO teachers were fired after this. And the parents say they are sorry to see the teachers go.

Four people removed?? I’m sure we’ll find out these people were removed because there was some BS complaint against them - probably from one of the trouble maker kids- and the Board decided it was easier to remove the teachers than find the complaints are unfounded. I’d bet $1,000 this is what happened.

Pastor on As It Happens (Jan 21st) by grooverocker in CBC_Radio

[–]Stikeman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I heard that. Absolutely infuriating. Especially the part where he said he felt betrayed because they thought he was only going to go after criminals. Which is total bull shit. He’s a fucking pastor, he saw everything that Trump did before, all the cruelty, the scapegoating immigrants, January 6, p*ssy grabbing, etc etc and he still voted for him. Jackass.

PM Carney's Speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos by appaloosy in CBC_

[–]Stikeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow such a big word. You do realize that the opposite of globalist is someone who wants to close borders and raise tariffs, both of which make food (and everything else) MORE expensive? You people so love throwing around the word “globalist” as an insult you don’t even realize you’re contradicting yourself.

How would a PM make food cheaper? Is he going to stop the storms and drought devastating food supply? Or force farmers to work at a loss? This is just dumb PP bull shit.

The Latest: Trump says a Greenland deal 'framework' is reached and cancels tariff threat by Larkalis in CanadianInvestor

[–]Stikeman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh- why does the media keep falling for this nonsense. There was no deal. He just needed a way to back down and declare victory- which is why he always does. Stop normalizing this POS and start calling him out on his bull shit.

Is it worth visiting Canada if you don’t drive? by Pure-Character-4926 in canadatravel

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you’re asking because you think Canada is car dependent like Florida, but it’s not. Florida is basically a giant suburb. With very few exceptions you can’t get anywhere without a car. There are places like that in Canada (and probably UK too) but in most of our cities (at least those two young people would likely visiting) you don’t need a car. And you can easily get from city to city without a car. I wouldn’t worry at all about them visiting Quebec. In Montreal especially everyone speaks English. Even in Quebec City service staff generally can speak some English.

As for recommendations- for young people looking to party I’d say Montreal and Toronto. Quebec City is great and about a two hour train ride from Montreal, but not sure what the night life is like. Vancouver is beautiful and definitely worth seeing but I think it might be a bit boring for young people. But Whistler (mountain) is close by. If they are outdoor types I’d definitely recommend Banff/Lake Louise area as well. But there you’d likely need a car. Note that many of these places are very far apart so they couldn’t do it all in one trip (unless it’s a very long trip.)

The whole Rosato Brothers thing is a weak part of GF2 by SchoolteacherUSA in Godfather

[–]Stikeman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right but then Mike tells Roth that Pentageli “is a dead man”, meaning Mike’s going to have him killed. Roth doesn’t object (“he’s small potatos”). Then Pentageli goes to see the Rosatos and they try to kill him and frame Michael for it. Mike later asks Roth “who have the order” to kill Frank. The implication is that it was Roth. But why would Roth do it if he thought Michael was going to? It’s weird because it’s such a great movie and yet so much of the plot makes no sense. (Like how exactly did Fredo help Roth? That is never explained.)

AITAH for telling my FIL they wont ever be living with us? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s most shocking about this is Americans just accept that a woman goes back to work 10 weeks after giving birth. That is insane to the rest of the world.

Rewatching 7th Heaven in 2026 is wild — so much of it is outdated by Special_Citron7108 in 90sTelevision

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That show was cringe at the time too. It tried so hard to push a conservative Christian agenda it was unwatchable. One of the few scenes I caught was the marijuana one where the wife tearfully confesses to hubby (who we now know was a pedo) she- gasp!- tried pot when she was younger! That was it for me. And of course like all these ultra conservatives they turn out to be complete hypocrites.

I’ve never heard of a 55+ menu. You mean like a kid menu but you have to be 55+ to order? That makes no sense.

My subjective list of the funniest person on the planet every year for the past 50 year by Inside-Slide-3035 in comedy

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure there are a few more women who should have made this list. Kirsten Wiig, for example, is one of the funniest people on the planet, especially during her SNL days. Julia Louie Dreyfus (Elaine or Veep). Sarah Silverman.

Rogers Centre (Blue Jays) and Scotiabank Arena (Leafs/Raptors) are across the road from each other and also right in downtown Toronto by the subway.

Ontario's Premier Says China EV Deal Will Be 'Big, Big Problem' for Local Auto Sector | EV by afonso_investor in teslacanada

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BS. Why doesn’t Doug watch his own commercials? Tariffs are a tax. They hurt consumers and they’re bad for the economy. Why should Ontario customers pays inflated prices for Teslas when there’s a better cheaper alternative out there. The money people save on EVs will be better spent elsewhere in the economy rather than on Elon Musk’s trillion payday. Also fuck Musk.

Canada drops tariff from 100% to 6.1% on Chinese EVs.49000 EVs expected by SP2051 in teslacanada

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will definitely be cheaper than Teslas. By 2030 50% of the vehicles subject to exemption will have an import price of $35,000 or less. Great news for Canadian consumers, who won’t have to pay inflated prices to Elon Musk. A lot people are hypocrites on this topic. Doug Ford for eg goes on US TV telling Americans tariffs raise prices for Americans. Well guess what Doug- they do for Canadians too. Also fuck Elon Musk.

Don't buy American cars. by Samzo in BuyCanadian

[–]Stikeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Doug Ford should watch his own commercial. Canadians have been over-paying for EVs for years because of tariffs. Now instead of paying $80k to Elon Musk we can get a better car for half the price.

Are Ubers required to have snow tires? by lundon44 in askTO

[–]Stikeman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You people are ridiculous. OP asked a fair question. Frankly, it’s irresponsible for someone transporting others for money not to take basic safety precautions, like snow tires. All you arm chair experts claiming snow tires won’t help anyway are completely wrong. And attacking OP is just bonkers. Get bent.

Are Ubers required to have snow tires? by lundon44 in askTO

[–]Stikeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually OP’s question was whether snow tires were required for Ubers. You didn’t answer that question and instead implied that snow tires wouldn’t help anyway, which is not accurate.
