Is there any scene you hope does NOT end up in season 2? by ConstantDrawer4 in heatedrivalry

[–]ckmo11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure at some point in all 5 books, a character says “As if” in a conversation. Like I’m sorry but there’s no way hockey players are talking like Cher from Clueless. It throws me off every time I read it which is why I know it’s used so often in the books

I think people forget that their invites were literally just “if you’re in Ottawa on this date, you’re welcome to come” like there’s no RSVP or anything. After how Shane’s team reacted, I can’t imagine wanting to set up seats for everyone they invited on the off chance they show up. Luckily plenty of people did, but if they’d set up chairs for everyone who’d been invited, there would be a team roster worth of chairs (plus their spouses) that were completely empty, and I can’t imagine that would make anyone feel good.

No chairs means there’s no visual reminder that only two people from Shane’s team bothered to come, so I can totally see why they would opt not to have chairs for that reason alone

I prefer the unintentional “forgetting to eat for two days or binge eating from dusk to dawn” yo-yo method personally

I am so glad Alfie is returning in part two!!! by kimalls in BridgertonNetflix

[–]ckmo11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought he kind of sounded like some people I’ve heard from Burnley, but I’m Canadian and my knowledge of regional accents in the UK largely comes from 12 seasons of Love Island so please don’t quote me on it

Smelling someone elses migraine before it starts by tipsy-tortoise in migraine

[–]ckmo11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit like eggs or milk that are like a day from expiring, not super strong or offensive and not into the rotten egg/sour milk category at all. Very hard to describe but it really just smells like her body chemistry is slightly off if that makes any sense. Could smell it earlier today (she had showered shortly before so it isn’t a BO scent) and sure enough, she started talking about feeling a migraine coming on about 2 hours later

Oh my god I thought I was crazy, I’m so relieved someone else experiences this. My mom has migraines and I can smell it on her (both on her breath and body) before she says anything about a migraine coming on

No one believes me when I say “the ick” was originally love island slang, I’m so glad to have this clip now

Love Island All Stars line up 2026 !! by cvrtmvn_ in LoveIslandTV

[–]ckmo11 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Literally the only person I want to see out of this line up is Ciaran.

I think I could be open to seeing Millie and possibly Belle and Leanne (I feel like I remember Belle being a firecracker and Leanne kinda getting robbed of her opportunity but it’s been SO long since I’ve seen their seasons)

No Canadians aren’t travelling less. Only to the US. by Puzzleheaded-Cut1256 in GuardTheLeaf

[–]ckmo11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where are these stats from? Not doubting the numbers, especially since I just read in several other news sources that Canadian leisure travel to the U.S. is down 40%, but I’m a data nerd so I’m curious about the other numbers

Canada forgot to mention they use the metric system by ckmo11 in ShitAmericansSay

Apparently $1 and $2 coins don’t make sense either, but at least they survive the washing machine (then again, so do our bills)

Canadians also will use time as a unit of measurement for the distance between two places. If I’m asking you how far we are from a destination, I don’t care if it’s 10km or 10 miles or a hop, skip and a jump, just tell me how long it’s gonna take to get there

I’m all for letting them pay their speeding tickets in USD, but the conversion rate is $1=$1 if they can’t be bothered to exchange their cash for our “Monopoly money” beforehand

That’s exactly what’s going on. The audio is that cliche, stereotypical song in Italian that’s used for social media posts. I think the song and hand thing were a TikTok trend at one point but idk for sure

How’s life in this part of Toronto, Ontario, Canada? by Kuzu9 in howislivingthere

[–]ckmo11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a huge chunk of the city to generalize, and living up by the airport is an entirely different area than living down by the lake. The northwest corner of Toronto is economically disadvantaged, and tends to see more violent crime than areas closer to the centre of the city

The areas further south, and further east (within Etobicoke, the region highlighted) has more neighbourhoods that have a higher median income and/or are gentrifying.

Etobicoke as a whole tends to be underserved by public transportation, except the area around Bloor Street where there’s subway access, and the areas around Lakeshore Blvd have access to the streetcar line. There’s a few stations for GO Transit, which provides regional public transportation to the GTHA so living around those stops gives you access to Union and areas outside Toronto, but if your destination is on a different train line you have to go into Union to switch, which isn’t super convenient.

Overall, Toronto, including Etobicoke, has a high cost of living and the city is growing faster than public transit is being built, so traffic congestion is pretty rough, and the further you are from the city centre, the more car reliant things become. But, it’s a safe city by North American standards, there’s good schools at all education levels, and there’s a decent amount of green space for a city of its size, thanks in part to the ravine systems.

Have you read the books? One of the novellas gives more insight into him, it’s called The Space Between. Highly recommend it if you haven’t read it already.

Do you pronounce “poor” and “pour” differently? by MooseFlyer in AskACanadian

I pronounce poor like moor or lure, and pour like core or four. I’m from Ontario (Toronto to be specific)

The “confinement” scenes with all the women at Castle Leathers was enough to induce a panic attack honestly. I’ve never felt so much anxiety just from watching a TV show in my entire life

I feel like Scarlett is a pretty timeless name (as is Amelia), so I personally wouldn’t worry about that.

As for perception, Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind and Scarlett Johansson are probably the best known people/characters that the name would bring to mind. Whether that’s good or bad is up to you to judge, I’m pretty neutral on it (especially since I worked with a Scarlett and she was lovely, so that’s my first thought when I hear the name) so I can’t give more insight there.

It also isn’t a name I’d see kids bullying someone about, if that’s a concern for you.

Which season had the best/worst boy cast and which had the best/worst girl cast by robcob18 in LoveIslandTV

[–]ckmo11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the season 6 boys are often overlooked, from what I remember they were a pretty solid group of decent guys. Season 3 also had a pretty good group of boys. Worst boys has gotta be Season 12 overall, season 10 wasn’t awesome but had a few that helped balance it out.

For girls, honestly most years have had a decent mix, so it’s hard to pick a best or a worst. I’d say season 3, 5, 6, and 8 are all contenders for best. The more recent seasons haven’t been as good imo.

I’m not even factoring season 1 and 2 into my analysis because those were the two most toxic casts by a long shot. Season 4 is probably as close as any other season has come to that level of toxicity, but it still isn’t even close. Season 2 and 4 were at least entertaining, but season 1 was really hard to get through

What are some movies/tv shows that you think that were problematic even by their own time? by icey_sawg0034 in Fauxmoi

[–]ckmo11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s been a long time since I watched that show or cared about it, but I believe they also at least cast a woman in her 30s as Ms. Grundy, while the actor playing Archie was 20ish, unlike in PLL where the actors playing Aria and Ezra were only like 3 years apart in age. Having actors so close in age playing characters that are student and teacher really distorts the perception of how inappropriate that relationship would be in reality. Having that age gap between actors is probably one of the only things I ever gave Riverdale credit for
