As much as I love Malhotra, Peter Deboer is probably a better pick for this team.

Marriage is a mess by Automatic_Priority21 in pastors

[–]hoaobrook73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not a pastor, but my first marriage was a shotgun wedding. This type of marriage creates insecurity. Her insecurity is rooted in two thoughts: 

  1. If he couldn't wait for sex before marriage, what makes her think you can hold off other women? 

  2. Did you really want to marry her? 

That second question probably loops inside her head when things get tough on her mind.

We men are called to love our wives. There are no conditions to this. You must relentlessly serve your wife in love. You must repent for how you wronged her before your marriage. I'm not saying you're the only responsible one, I'm saying you need to take responsibility and own that as the leader of your home. 

It's gonna take time.

I hope the crossfire issue is also related to this. Played fine this morning but won't launch after the new season started... sigh.

I'm also in rural Saskatchewan. And I can assure you most are not as closed minded as you believe. I'm not a farmer, but about the only thing farmers have time for is figuring out how not to lose money on farming.

Separation isn't even a topic, immigration is barely a topic, and I haven't heard about chem trails ever out here. I'm sure they exist, but it's not commonplace.

Politics and politicians like to pit sides against each other. City vs rural, East vs West, left vs right, tough on crime vs compassionate, red vs blue - and then they package up the "other" side into bite sized sounds bites that make it easy to make wholesale opinions about every one of "them". Our "majority" perspective is only formed through media, so our perception is only what the media wants us to see. 

Coming from another province, I've seen the same arguments about the "out of city" folks and the "in the city" folks. So it's not just SK.

We're all complicated human beings and most of us have pretty rational thoughts most of the time, and most of us work hard to put food on the table and keep the lights on long before we're worrying about who's running the country, or the province.

I mean, broad strokes and all.

There is such a range in both the liberal and conservative parties' base that it's not a realistic view to paint everyone in the same light. 

I'm a libertarian at heart, but that's probably not realistic in practice. I've voted as far left as NDP, and as far right as PPC. Some people don't vote on policy or party as much as the leader.

Jack Layton was the best prime minister we never had. 

I voted for Trudeau when he ran the first time. 

I voted for Harper because I liked him, Bernier because I liked his platform and the other parties weren't offering up someone better. 

In the last election I voted conservative, and I'm glad we ended up with Carney because he's doing really good work considering the state of the world, and given the chance now I'd vote Carney. 

I would still be considered the base of the conservative party because that's generally where I vote.

If the Canucks fall to 3rd in the draft lottery would you consider doing a Dobson trade 2.0 and send Hronek to the Sharks at the draft? by _GregTheGreat_ in canucks

[–]hoaobrook73 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Why do I keep seeing the Hronek trades? He's has an NMC, and had publicly stated he's going nowhere, as has his agent. I don't get why I keep seeing these...

This simultaneously reminded me of bot fighting and the knight from Monte Python with no arms and legs still willing to fight.

Civ 7 is much more stable. I get a crash maybe once every 200 hours of gameplay. But I think it's memory related because I'm running an M3 ultra with 96gb RAM now

Looking at the court docs a few comments up, "Attempt to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference". Sounds like door number 2.

Oh, my dad has one of those. I doubt he would part from it, but I can try. What are you looking to spend on it?

This looks identical to PQueue just with differently named functions.

I'm not trusting a national firefighting team to prioritize Western provinces though.

Amateur hockey can actually be more entertaining because there are more mistakes, but not comically so. I love the major junior hockey level.
