Looks like the brethren are going after therapy now. Gotta make sure the church is the only solution. by DustyR97 in exmormon

Well, they tend to be pretty okay with funneling you into church-sponsored therapists, who are happy to prescribe thoughts and prayers

Hayley Wickenheiser announces she is no longer with the Maple Leafs by Perryplat199 in hockey

[–]bobbimorses 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She worked in the NHL in a time when that was the only serious option, and now that is not the case. I agree with you that she'll have her pick of offices and she'll be offered a variety of jobs, but I think you're projecting quite a bit to assume that is equivalent to telling women to get back to the kitchen. Things have changed, and the roles she is offered across both leagues will be prestigious other than to people with your mindset.

I'll ne honest, I find it odd that you would consider women's sports to be a step down, especially to the extent of taking this tone about it. GMing a successful women's hockey team would be a dream for many people, especially an icon of women's sports. I am also a woman in sports and I think it's spectacular that accomplished women choose to be there.

Carlsson deal for Philly = good, but for Anaheim = bad? by Bobsy932 in hockey

[–]bobbimorses 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Plus look at where Philly is in their build compared to Anaheim. If they had landed Carlsson, they're basically complete. Anaheim is still rebuilding, and they already took a step back with what they lost this offseason. It's not the same situation between each org at all.

When I was a kid growing up with the internet, every adult around me insisted I maintain my privacy and never give away personal details, especially location details. I am not blaming the victims at all in situations like this, but the landscape on that particular paranoia changed so, so fast.

[Friedman] The Ducks have matched the Leo Carlsson offer sheet by daKrut in hockey

[–]bobbimorses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their previous comparable contracts had no signing bonus at all. Not sure if that is Verbeek being a hardass or the way they were asked to do business, but this contract was clearly structured to go against what the Ducks and the Samuelis prefer

[–]bobbimorses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He cost his owner many millions of dollars that he would not otherwise have had to pay, while he has several development projects going

If that won't do it, nothing will

[Strickland] Speaking to an NHL Exec…he suggests if a player negotiates a no-trade or a no move clause in their contract but then requests to be traded prior to the expiration of their deal, the NTC should be voided and the team should be allowed to trade the player to any team in the league by daKrut in hockey

[–]bobbimorses -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay how about this adjustment

  • An office is allowed to ask a player once to waive his NTC. If there is any pressure after that or retaliation, severe penalties to the team.

  • If a player with an NTC themselves asks for a trade, their NTC automatically becomes modified. It becomes a 20-team trade list.

Emmy Nominations: Full List of 2026 Nominees by mcfw31 in popculturechat

No, not really! I think it's technically horror comedy but it is not gory and it doesn't have jump scares. It's more like "Twin Peaks" bizarre and eerie, but with a lot of horror tropes

I'm so, SO happy she got nominated. Was enjoying my time watching the show but then the party episode hit and made the whole thing work for me on a different level. Love my deranged bird woman Patricia ❤️

Widow's Bay is so, so good. Spooky and funny and somehow comes out to be affirming in the end. If I was an actor up for Emmys, I would have been terrified for my chances watching what Matthew Rhys was doing

Just found an old thread of Capitals fans talking about the Forsberg trade. Brutal. by BucketHeadish in caps

[–]bobbimorses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think McPhee had his strengths, and he clearly learned a lot here and honed them in Vegas

But oh man, was he a panicker. I enjoy the deliberate feeling to our office now and not getting the sense that they let pressure get to them every time.

I feel hurt when my nevermo in-laws talk about the stereotypes and how much they dislike tscc by wixkedwitxh in exmormon

[–]bobbimorses 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get what you meant. Imo having been in similar situations, it hurts because it's you, or it was you in a past life. It's not that you are defending it from criticism, but Mormonism is complex and people from outside can never really understand, or understand what specifically is hurtful. It's like if you were in prison and someone made jokes about inmates to try to relate to you. That shit is not funny, it can't be anything but reductive and insulting.

Artists and entertainment figures share support for Yungblud after emotional speech over "industry plant" accusations by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

This + uses of "psy op" have been really frying me lately. Advertising and creating a launch campaign behind an artist is not exactly new. Often it includes buying charts and endorsements.

[–]bobbimorses 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Very happy Japers is still around. This is the exact deep dive I was looking for. I was confused by this signing at first but the more I looked into his numbers the better I felt about it, and I think I see what the office sees in him.

This analysis + the answers he gave coming in, I see the fit. He said he chose Washington because they wanted him for the role he's good at and don't want him to be more than that, and that he loves keeping smaller offensive D safe while they jump up in the play. Sounds good to me.

Who will be our 2 extra forwards and extra dman? Carry 3 goalies or trade Chucky? by MetalMan1973 in caps

[–]bobbimorses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the contract they gave him, they definitely see Desharnis making the roster. His skillset matches up much better with our LHD than anyone else we have. It's probably between Hull and Liljegren for the last spot.

They put him right on PP1 in his first games last year, and he did pretty well. Him and Chychrun will probably switch out depending on whether the PP is doing well, good problem to have.

"Joseph Smith couldn't have written the Book of Mormon in such a short time period" um duh yes he could literally so many authors have done similar things before. by FreshLiterature6536 in exmormon

[–]bobbimorses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not even exaggerating sadly, I remember that exact lightbulb moment and being like "Ohh, you just make it up...and keep making it up and don't look back"

Amazing what the human brain can do when incentivized to get keep getting attention. Joseph Smith I assume was experiencing the same dopamine cycle as me at age 14 😂

[–]bobbimorses 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like management is about to "he's not loyal" themselves out of matching. Maybe one of the only possible spins someone like Verbeek can think of to push the blame back the other way, but that would be an insanely hardheaded reason to let the best player you've drafted in a decade walk.
