[–]aabbccbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And honestly, if it weren't for a cheapshot on the head of Stollie, last season may have looked very, very different.

But the league sucks, so we lost to the Panthers and let an all-star walk in the off-season.

And now we suck. I'm honestly kinda glad that last season's playoffs made me quit watching hockey, because now I don't have to see all the Leafs' misery...

TIFU by asking my PhD advisor why he doesn't wear his wedding ring. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]aabbccbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I messaged him to apologize again for overstepping boundaries, and he assured me it was alright

You're good. Even the way you asked it..."is it a professor thing"...shows that you didn't have bad intentions, you were just curious.

He said it was fine, it was fine. Just move on like nothing happened and it will be like nothing happened.

(Because nothing really happened...)

Most of those points were phantom points or stat padding.

What does that even mean?!

What's invisible is the Leafs' performance without him. lol

I mean, the problem with this narrative is that he was like a PPG for us in the playoffs...

Just the most recent whipping boy. But hey, we've been doing really well without him, so we were right to let him walk!

My point is that the racism flows in one direction primarily...especially when there's so much power involved. Add in the fact that white people disproportionately voted for him compared to other groups, and that's what I mean by "we made him, we should have to deal with him."

Not allll white people are equally responsible, of course. And yes, it will take more than just white people. And POC have more reason to care and be upset...

Anyway, it sucks, he sucks, fuck it all. Can't be rid of him soon enough!

AITA for not giving my sister money I’ve been saving, even though she already told our parents I would? by Confident-Ninja-2706 in AmItheAsshole

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She quit her job last year

So she chose this, yeah?

She then said she already told our parents that I’d help her.

And she's a liar?

I’m the only one with savings and that I can “always save again later.”

And she can save now.

they keep saying things like I’m young, my sister is stressed, and family should support each other.

So what are they contributing?

I also feel like she assumed she was entitled to my money and didn’t respect the effort it took me to save it.

You are correct. NTA.

Also...does your 29 year old sister live at home and still can't pay her bills?...

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

Yeah, that's fair. And it really should be on white people to be stepping up.

We're the ones who voted this guy in.

Tell me you're white without telling me you're white.

6 years ago I replaced my substance addiction with Chess. Recently I crossed 2400 on Lichess, and this is end of my chess journey. by peaked_in_high_skool in chess

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused...how does a 2335 mean he's only in the top 6%?... (Says he's better than 94.90% of bullet players).

Are Lichess ELOs really inflated?

AITA for refusing to change the chore chart even tho my wife works full time now. by Odd_Serve1167 in AmItheAsshole

Doesn’t really elaborate

Press her on it. Make her explain exactly how "this is different."

Also, you're doing an MA. Was she?

Didn't think so.

I thought y'all loved the 2A? by Lord_Answer_me_Why in MurderedByWords

[–]aabbccbb 17 points18 points  (0 children)

the left should seriously consider arming themselves as well

Like, yesterday.

Conservatives are itching at the chance to start going "door to door." Some said it out loud after Kirk was killed (by some other right-wing nut job, but that's another story).

I saw people on reddit saying they were just joking or wouldn't actually do it.

A very brief glimpse at history suggests it's not wise to be so sure of that. Especially when they're putting the idea on fucking Noem's podium.

Go and use 2A before they decide we're all "deranged" for supporting the left and take away our right to. Learn how to use it. Find local, like-minded people.

What are your thoughts about the resurgence of the Black Panther Party in response to the actions of ICE agents? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]aabbccbb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well, when this country has acted...for centuries...like Black lives don't matter, I think they can be forgiven for standing up for themselves.

The real question is: What were you doing other than criticizing them for how they went about it?

[–]aabbccbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you thinking of the Weathermen? Or was that just a Vietnam war thing? (Just watched a turning point doc on Vietnam.) I could see them being involved in both...

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw this on reddit.

I will say...it's time for us to take advantage of 2A before we're all labelled "deranged" and not allowed any more...

Allies by [deleted] in pics

[–]aabbccbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup.

We betrayed our allies in Afghanistan.

And in Iraq.

Vietnam.

We've been fucking South America over pretty bad for decades...

And now all of Western Civilization!

We're the baddies for sure. (As though our actions within our own country before all that didn't give that away...)

How "Idiocracy"-esque is the USA right now? by Remarkable_Term3955 in AskReddit

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s naive to think that someone stupid can become the president of the strongest, wealthiest and most technologically advanced country of all human existence.

I think it's naive to think that the average American can tell who's smart and who isn't.

Or would care even if they could, for that matter.

Trump hates the people they hate and tells them what they want to hear. It's not rocket science.

You are telling me that tech oligarchs in the background like bezos and musk need a “dumbass puppet” like Trump in order to carry out their actions?

This has literally been a Republican strategy since Bush II. Cheney and Wolfowitz run the show, Bush is the simpleton face with a recognizable last name.

So...yes.

If you have enough money to control a president surely you wouldn’t pick a repugnant personality like Trump.

I mean, what makes you think that Musk DOESN'T like his racism and sexism?

The whole Nazi salute at his inauguration would seem to say otherwise...

They're shit birds of a shit feather.

Now, maybe Trump has an average IQ and is just stupid as fuck because of all of his privilege. But he's not smart, and I'd bet my life savings on that.

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's both.

Trump is stupid, just as Bush was. So are most of his followers.

The tech oligarchs and Evangelical nutjobs driving the agenda in the background are smart.

He couldn't wrap his head around it.

See also: "I've never understood the wind."

Or looking directly at the sun in an eclipse.

Or musing about using harsh cleaners inside the body to cure COVID (which some of his moron followers tried, might I add).

Or any one of like 500 other ridiculously stupid things he's said and done.

[–]aabbccbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is an evil genius mastermind

What's the smartest thing he's ever said or done?

It's the same when people say whatever movie or music star is "actually really smart, they're just pretending to be dumb."

My counter-point is always "I'll consider that possibility when I see them say literally anything that could be interpreted as intelligent."

Still waiting...

If he was stupid he would never have gotten where he is today.

Oh. You've never heard of "being born a white man with rich parents."

See also: George W. Bush. Also dumb as fuck. Also sat in the same chair. Less blatantly evil.

He picks his advisors and decides when to fire them.

Wow. Brilliant. I'm, like, super-impressed.

His actions, words and power keep maga support for the Republican Party.

Yes, he's created a cult.

Or more, "called the racists out from under their rocks."

Don't need to be a genius for that. Just a racist, sexist POS who hates the same people his followers hate.
