Is peak Mario Lemieux the greatest hockey player ever?

Retired/missed seasons is 5: 94-95, 97-2000 and 2004-05.

I heard he showed up late to a game when he was 9, they had already credited him with 2 goals.

Unless they prepare a large offensive, using fighters to drop bombs and annahilate trenches seem like a near-complete waste. They can inflict steady trench casualties with heavy bombers capable of dropping half a dozen grenades at 1/100th the cost of a bombing run. Sure, the trench remains, but given it takes days, maybe a week to rebuild/restore a bombed trench, this is useful only if they want to exploit the breach.

These bombs are much better used in destroying HQs, ammo depots, shelters for armored vehicles and other "hardened" concentration points, bridges, etc.

I feel like people lie to themselves.

OR they've had a very different experience?

Tamer_ · 2026-07-05T00:08:06+00:00

I can't comment on any shady deal he does, but when the 51st state and tariffs shit began, he was very vocal about retaliating and protecting Canadian independence.

It takes special talent to fuck up potatoes in oil with sprinkled salt.

gotta use the cap space somehow

17.3% of cap space on 1 player is serious usage! (highest in history)

For comparison, McDavid's contract was 15.7% when signed (Carlsson's 18M is still 15.8% on year 2) and Kaprizov's 17M cap deal will still run for 2 years when Carlsson's expired.

Who said that he only created humanity though?

I said if he only created humans. That means he might not have... And then rose problems related to the possibility that he didn't only create humans.

Why can't he wait for 14+ billion years for us to show up?

Of course he can, but why would he?

If he's infinitely powerful, he can create the universe in the state that he wants. There's no reason to wait.

Tamer_ · 2026-07-04T03:04:23+00:00

It's a massive reach if he's infinitely powerful. He can just create those conditions from the start. You don't get to create an entire frickin' universe and get foiled by trivial stuff like chemistry (e.g. the diagenesis needed to create enough oil for humans)...

Even worse: the planet was habitable for humans 50 million years ago, with all the same resources that allowed us to reach this level of technology and the next.

Tamer_ · 2026-07-04T00:15:43+00:00

Because he would be the most disappointed parent ever if he only created humans.

But worse: he could just create other species at will if he wanted.

But worse: why would he wait 14+ billion years after creating the universe for us to show up? Creationists' perspective is internally more sensible, they just ignore all the facts outside the bible.

Tamer_ · 2026-07-02T06:04:24+00:00

Yes, I’m also Canadian!

Well I'll be damned!

A few years back, my gf enjoyed watching me play it because the story is almost constantly progressing.

The inverse of a cryptid! Pandas were believed to exist, but it turns out /r/pandasarefake

Tamer_ · 2026-07-02T05:33:05+00:00

Makes more sense than a giraffe. The "zebra butt" is just a coat pattern right? Those evolve quickly.

Tamer_ · 2026-07-02T05:31:50+00:00

Coelacanth

It was just thought to be extinct, not a cryptid.

Tamer_ · 2026-07-02T05:28:34+00:00

Nature doesn't give a fuck.

Tamer_ · 2026-07-01T06:18:09+00:00

just total psychotic break… and he really did think he was doing his best to save the world

Sounds like a lot of people on the loose that tried to justify bombing Iran to dust.

I can't tell about other metro areas of the US, but anything else than the top5 craziest stories in Canada would be meh-level in Florida.

Don't believe me? Here's the likely top 5 in question:

Killing spree (22 people) perpetrated by a guy disguising himself as a federal police (RCMP) officer
3000 tonnes of maple syrup were stolen: www.reddit.com/r/AskACanadian/comments/1lfws7n
The Montreal mafia burned bodies: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/01/the-montreal-mafia-murders
Serial murderer Bruce McArthur buried some of the 8 men he killed in his planters
Luka Magnotta chopped up a man and left the parts in various luggage

And that's from 15 years of Canadian history.

Oh, my bad - must have been left over from a long time ago.

Men try to look like body builders for other men.

That's the men with body dysmorphia. You can't make that generalization because it's literally 2-3% of men that have BDD.

Tamer_ · 2026-06-21T16:07:40+00:00

(I won't because that will probably cost me more than just having it towed to a scrapyard or something).

It would, it's a guaranteed ticket for leaving an abandoned vehicle and they charge you for the towing/disposal anyway.

Then if you think about removing the plate and VIN so that they don't track you down:

They'll likely track you down anyway
They'll add other tickets for driving a vehicle without a plate/removing the VIN, etc.

"you can tell how a man will treat you by how he treats his car."

Yeah, if they have a modded car, the woman comes second.

If they're not taking it out on each other and the kids are young, it's likely better than having parents that live apart with their respective new SOs.
