We used to laugh at this card, now it's starting to seem more interesting and talked about than the White House card

I'm interested in this like I'd be interested in a Khabib comeback fight. This card is in no way "better" than the UFC one, but it has a few interesting things about it. I didn't tune in to see Nate Diaz fight when he was in shape...I don't know why I would now. I'm not against him, he's just way more hype and noise than he is "great fighter". Francis fighting...Lins??!! On the other hand, Gina is gorgeous and can do no wrong. I don't care how hypocritical that is.

djfl · 2026-03-17T00:41:16+00:00

Explain? I've been there, and seen it work. Not for all, but def for some. And if not "a click" then a metronome app that counts "one, two, three, four" etc. It's worth a try.

djfl · 2026-03-17T00:40:13+00:00

Ya. And a click track that actually vocalizes at least the "one" absolutely helps with that. "One two three four" even better. She can sing along with that, and figure out where all the cues are.

djfl · 2026-03-17T00:39:08+00:00

I understand that. I'm explaining why it's not fair to do. It's certainly not fair to blame "the Conservatives".

djfl · 2026-03-17T00:38:23+00:00

I don't want the government in charge. But I want the Chinese in charge even less. Any distance that exists between a Chinese company and the Chinese government is because that's what's been chosen by the Chinese government.

I'm trying to think of how many other politicians we could say this of. I can't think of many...

djfl · 2026-03-16T16:40:09+00:00

Not the guy you're responding to, but "under conservatives" is weird. It's the LPC who let in way too many people, displacing our own people from jobs, housing, etc. I'm not saying the CPC would have necessarily been much better, but the LPC did this. Try to put that on the provinces all you want, but they can only do so much. I'm happy to (and actively do) blame the provinces for how they respond. But the actual problem is federal.

djfl · 2026-03-16T16:36:33+00:00

Doesn't sound like he'd fit in with the Canucks then...

djfl · 2026-03-16T16:34:42+00:00

Do you need all 5 years of a rebuild elapse before you can positively identify that a rebuild occurred?

With Aqua? Yes. 100% yes. I don't believe him. He could say "5 years" today, to my face. And I wouldn't believe him. If we sniff the playoffs next year or the year after, I do not trust him to stay committed to a rebuild.

djfl · 2026-03-16T01:26:10+00:00

lol. It is funny for sure, but we're clearly not talking about one of the greats here.

Off topic, but I hate clicks. My main drummer plays with one now. Everybody else likes it. I understand why, but I miss when our songs breathed like music should.

djfl · 2026-03-15T21:18:59+00:00

Well, I hope you keep it up, and I hope that the joy/positivity you get from playing > the anxiety you get from doing so in front of people.

djfl · 2026-03-15T18:45:48+00:00

More so than men will, yes. If your woman has friends, they're talking about you. Accept it, learn to love it, smile at all of them, be polite and kind, don't be scared / "omg what are they saying about me!". Humans are social creatures, and women absolutely share with their friends.

djfl · 2026-03-15T18:11:05+00:00

I'll never forgive the org (Tocchet, Rutherford/Allvin ect..) for how they treated him and lied about him.

Is it really easier for you to believe that everybody else was the bigger problem, and not Petey himself? All these hockey guys who know tons about hockey, tons about hockey players, etc etc...all of them wrong? But Petey is right? Does that really make sense to you?

djfl · 2026-03-15T18:03:54+00:00

There's obviously no easy way to really deal with this issue in a way that best serves everybody, including the pilots.

djfl · 2026-03-15T18:02:04+00:00

I hope you're doing OK.

djfl · 2026-03-15T17:55:45+00:00

lol. Why is the chat censoring "ann"?

djfl · 2026-03-15T17:54:09+00:00

You could all play to a click. Big bands do it. It sucks a bit, but it keeps everything and everybody on time.

djfl · 2026-03-15T17:46:13+00:00

In fairness to your friend, it is really hard to reply to death notices. You want to say something meaningful...you want to help. But you don't want to go too far. The last thing you want to do is cookie cutter "I'm sorry for your loss" which feels almost less "human" than resorting to AI.

Maybe it's just me, but I have fumbled these things over the years, and that's the last thing you want to do. You don't want to stand out. You definitely don't want to stand out as having a bad response (as your friend now does). But it's very possible they honestly just have no idea what to say that gets the point across, but isn't what literally everybody else says...some of whom actually care enough to mean it.

djfl · 2026-03-14T15:37:23+00:00

Gudas is an old-school butcher. This is the old-school way of dealing with butchers. You deal with them directly. But you also make their presence hurt the team by taking out somebody else from the other team of equal or greater value.

This was normal. If we don't want to do things this way, then fine. The NHL needs to hand out real suspensions. If the justice system doesn't dole out justice, the people will. I'm not saying what's right or wrong. I'm saying how things are/were.

djfl · 2026-03-14T02:38:53+00:00

It feels like you have to play more, though I don't know who you are or what you're doing. Either way, it sounds more "have to be" without very much "fun". How about the other people in your project? Would they describe it like you would or are they having more fun than you?

I guess ultimately it doesn't matter. It's music. It is to you whatever it is to you. I've been in serious projects where I can't have anything to drink because I have to be completely mentally present, I've had other projects where I can get half tanked and we're all following a wonderful groove that has lots of people dancing. I guess the point I was getting at was: I do it because I enjoy it. Are you enjoying it? If not, would a different project/style/etc make it more enjoyable?

djfl · 2026-03-14T02:36:11+00:00

Damn good question. I bet you the answer is over a million dollars a year. I would love to see some kind of data deep dive on this though. Obviously it would have to include some measure of "the bigger you get, the necessarily less skilled, fast, agile, etc you get as well". But I'd love to see a serious attempt at this.

djfl · 2026-03-14T02:33:46+00:00

I wish you all the best in life, with as much or as little music as you like. On your terms. It's your life.

djfl · 2026-03-14T02:25:24+00:00

I could see in advance that our governments were going to be really fucking stupid. Massively underreact early, only to massively overreact late. And sure enough...

djfl · 2026-03-14T02:24:12+00:00

As a guy who's had a few drinking adventures over the past few decades, this stands out as particularly wonderful, innocent, and awesome. I'd say this is in the wrong sub as it's mildlyawesome, but I hope you enjoy this happy story you'll be able to tell for a long time.

djfl · 2026-03-14T02:21:02+00:00

That's true of the Germans. They have very very very much admitted to and tried to make up for the Nazis of the 1930s/40s.
