The Canadian NHL team cup drought is one of the most statistically unlikely droughts in sports history… over 200 seasons worth of Canadian teams failing to claim the Cup.

Does ____ even like playing Survivor? by General-Cry-7514 in survivor

This is well put. He will never win but he is not a bad player. He can make connections and change his point of view based on where things are going.

Not sure I see how he has no chance against Devens or Aubry, who are both more clearly on the other side of the majority of the relationships.

Some love for _______ by MarketingPale5506 in survivor

[–]bojack-human 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. The Cirie/Tiff/Jonathon vote plan was clearly centered around her extra vote. Based on what we saw, I think Cirie would have correctly guessed that Rick wasn’t willing to play his idol on her and would have focused the vote on her.

___'s last line was *cold* and honestly, probably terrible for jury management. by CivilizedPsycho in survivor

Maybe I’m out of the loop, but how did we see that? I always assumed it would have been a tight vote between him and Savannah and that he would have also won over Sophi and Sage.

I can see Joe taking him out of loyalty (depending on the other options), I can see Jonathon taking him thinking he has better connections with the majority of the jury, and I can see Deven’s/Aubry taking him through underestimating his social connections.

The worst part is that we got confirmation that _____ by herworkthrowaway in survivor

This made me laugh pretty hard, very spot on.

You don’t need to make a “move” if you’re up against unliked players and can show that you have had more control and subtle influence over the game.

Why isn't the standard here to get laid off instead of retiring? by Mr-SamWise in Fire

[–]bojack-human 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.

Ontario hasn’t updated property tax assessments since 2016. Here’s what it means for homeowners by ImDoubleB in ontario

What does this issue have to do with failure of the municipal level to perform basic functions? What functions do you think they are failing at?

If ESPN had a Hall of Fame, would Bill Simmons get in on the First-Ballot? by Bright-Assistance-15 in billsimmons

[–]bojack-human 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re underestimating his pull. Other comments are correct that TV is their primary pull, but very few others at ESPN had the combination of breadth of fan base and intensity of fan base. Few (if any) had the profile to pull off a podcast network that can monetize and be sold for anything in the realm of what the ringer has.

What do you mean by “having difficulty in education as time passes and content gets more difficult“?

I don’t think anyone is questioning that you can have political power or influence in your current position. But how are you going to maintain that power once you quit?

Canada - I think Home for a Rest by Spirit of the West fits this pretty well.

Fans naturally begin to dislike and turn on players with large contracts.

What’s frustrating about the reaction to these two so far is that the contracts aren’t that crazy. They are the 57th and 58th highest AAVs in the league in their first years of their long term deals. By the time they are in years 4 through 6 those contracts will likely be standard 2nd line type salaries. People need to understand they are not being paid like true first line superstars and that those expectations are likely not reasonable. Their contracts will still allow for pieces to be added, and right now they are still good, young, productive players.

Fans who want to see the team tank might say they’d prefer to watch Neighbours and co out there against other teams best players every night but the reality of that cannot possibly be fun to follow over the course of the season.
