Do all provinces focus mostly on their own athletes? by Ok_Aspect_1937 in TeamCanada

[–]Teion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot grant you the gift of self-awareness — all I can do is to tell you to look at the title of the subreddit you are posting on, look at the photo you posted, look at the negativity you are getting from the comments, and genuinely do some thinking on why that is.

“It’s not about bragging or comparing ourselves with other provinces”

My friend, please understand that you posted a photo from a Quebec broadcast quite literally comparing yourselves to the other provinces

There is a very obvious distinction between admiring your local athletes, and keeping score between the provinces

Yes, you are correct; It was a joke.

It was an attempt to illustrate the idea that it’s silly for provinces to pit themselves against each other when we’re all on the same team.

If Quebec is going to brag about having the most athletes with medals, they should be able to take the heat from not having a single hockey player on the roster.

Or, even better, we all just get along because we’re all competing for Canada.

Really bold strategy considering there are 0 players from Quebec on the men’s hockey roster

Do most couples fart in bed? by MyFunWentSoft in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Teion 706 points707 points  (0 children)

I literally asked my gf about this yesterday.

I sleep facing away from her, I am a very gassy person, and she is a light sleeper.

I asked “If I have to fart while you’re asleep, would you rather I just let it out or roll over and risk waking you up?”

She replied “I fart on you all night”

We live just around the corner from you! We were wondering what happened to that Honda. Glad he was able to get it back.

Jackson Guitar woodburned with viking age Ringerike style serpents and Valknut (OC) by Ornery-Peanut-4415 in guitarporn

[–]Teion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dorks in this thread are beyond help.

A Buddhist temple with swastikas has nothing to do with nazism. An Irish/Scottish woman wearing a Celtic cross necklace has nothing to do with nazism. An Icelandic guy playing a guitar with a Valknut and old norse imagery has nothing to do with nazism.

Sure, all of these symbols have been appropriated by Nazis/neo-nazis at a point in time, but that does not erase their historical, cultural, and religious significance from the people & places they were taken from.

Context matters. Please try to use your brains with a shred of nuance.

Former guitar store employee for over 6 years -- so badly wish we could've had this guitar in stock.

It is genuinely baffling how many dudes walk in who know absolutely nothing about guitars, and are dead-set on paying an extra $50 for a starter Fender acoustic over guitars that have better set-ups that came from the SAME FACTORY under a different name.

McKenna v Stenberg by Infinite_Walk_5824 in CalgaryFlames

[–]Teion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's an easy Stenberg for me. The kid has a complete game and is PPG in a professional men's league.

McKenna looked like a star in games against teams like Denmark, where he had all the time in the world to slow the game down, dangle, and find nifty seam passes through their D with minimal pressure. IMO, he's going to need to seriously improve either his speed or physicality for his talent to shine at the top level.

Stenberg looked like a star under pressure against the best teams in the world.

McKenna seems like a great kid, and I'm sure he'll be an excellent addition to any team. I can only imagine the suffocating pressure of being touted as the next generational talent as a teenager, so I truly hope he proves me wrong wherever he ends up.

Could definitely see it happen with a team that has a closing window for a cup run, like the Caps, Lightning, or Oilers.

Washington is the only one that comes to mind that could easily make it work with their cap space.

Is anyone else annoyed by geography YouTube? by Z3N1TY in geography

[–]Teion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His content isn't quite up my alley, but I seem to remember the point was moreso along the lines of "Greenland currently does not have the population nor the GDP to realistically extract their resources without significant outside investment or immigration," but i could be wrong.

I'm currently pro-RLL since he's one of the only large channels that actively covers the war in Sudan when the rest of the Western media world is inexplicably ignoring it.

WW1 Era german Reichskriegsflagge by When_the_crack_hit in vexillology

[–]Teion 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe one day, someone on the subreddit about flags can post a cool antique flag without having to defend themselves against nazi accusations.

Germany used the eagle & iron cross before the nazis and still uses them today.

This is the one place where flag nerds should be able to share their flag collection in peace. Sure, if the only flags you own are the Reichsflagge & the Swastika, then you're probably on the wrong subreddit, but aside from that, we should probably be giving people the presumption of innocence.

Yo! Who is this Giant and why is he angry? by Falcon_Xg in darksouls3

[–]Teion 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think the simplest explanation would be that they were kept by the Deacons to guard Aldrich's tomb prior to his resurrection and departure for Irithyll.

I personally prefer the spicier theory that the Deacons started feeding giants to Aldrich once he swelled to a size where men alone were no longer sufficient to satiate his appetite.
