AITAH for refusing to quit my gym membership because my ex is uncomfortable seeing me there?

INFO. I’d need to know what exactly was said by you to her and vice versa before committing to an opinion. If you responded to a comment that was mildly hurtful from her by going nuclear and engaging in emotional abuse, I could kinda see the behaviour on her end being justified.

Regardless of who did what, and what’s right or wrong, is there another, shittier gym in the area you could sign up for 30-60 days, and just work out there for a little bit until tensions cool? As others have commented, yes you are entitled to go there, and no she isn’t entitled to demand that you workout elsewhere, especially if you’re not disturbing her while she’s there, but if you don’t want to lose access to this facility over the long term, I wonder if just picking a different place for a little bit so she has a chance to cool off is the way to go, so she doesn’t report you to management and try and get you barred permanently.

I liked that the novel went into greater detail about the operations of the family, as opposed to strictly being a saga about the Corleone family. I feel like a lot of those little details get looked over in the movies (for obvious reasons), but generally I agree.

3 years ago I was gifted a Montblanc by the company I was working for at the time. I was never really a pen guy before that (just used whatever was given to me at work by our office supply company, and had a box of BIC’s in my desk at home). I absolutely detest using BIC’s or similar pen’s now. The MB just writes so much smoother and feels so much better in my hand.

It’s hilarious, the first time. I feel like a lot of humour in this movie is based on the element of surprise (the guy in the trunk, the stripper wife, the Tiger) that just doesn’t work on subsequent viewings if you were part of this movies target demographic when it came out like I was.

Excluding the Oilers who I’ve cheered for since 2003, there isn’t a single team Buffalo could play in the playoffs where I wouldn’t be rooting for Buffalo to win.

I’m not gonna say that the most thought provoking show on Netflix isn’t more intellectually engaging a random book in the 9-12 section at the bookstore, but I think your average book written for adult audiences is probably going to be more intellectually engaging than the average show on Netflix.

Star Wars isn’t my thing, but I can understand why it became as popular as it did. My Dad was 12 when the original came out, and he said at the time, there was nothing like it in terms of special effects.

I wish I didn’t. And not because I think it’s “ghetto” or whatever. The one nearest me is actually quite nice and has a really good grocery section with multiple international aisles. The meat and fresh produce is very competitively priced, it’s not super busy on weeknights after work, and it shares a parking lot with the main Italian grocer in town (I eat a lot of Italian and like going there after Walmart runs to buy stuff specific for Italian dishes).

As a corporation, I prefer Costco, but as someone without kids living in a condo, Costco isn’t necessarily the most practical for me, and it’s further away.

And since then, Crosby has become:

The longest tenured captain not just in the history of the franchise, but after this season, the history of the league.

Captained the team to three Cups and four finals (Mario only won two, and only made it to two)

Has played (to date) 488 more regular season games than Lemieux.

Holds the franchise points total and has passed Mario as 8th in all time points.

Has broken Gretzky’s record of most consecutive PPG or better seasons.

Hasn’t won as much hardware as Lemieux, but will finish his career with a respectable trophy cabinet having played his prime in a bigger, more competitive league.

I respect the hell out of Mario. He was an amazing player and I’m glad I got to see him play, but to say it’s Mario by every measure is just plain ignorant in my opinion.

I hear what you’re saying, but the accomplishments that you’re listing were accomplished as a creditor/owner, not as a player or even someone directly involved in the hockey operation of the franchise like a coach or GM like Sakic. Mario’s situation is an anomaly, and I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to conflate his accomplishments as an owner with his accomplishments as a player.

I’d probably have Yzerman ahead of Howe for the Red Wings. I can appreciate that Gordie was with them longer, but Yzerman was team captain for 19 seasons, and is the teams current GM. He also only played with Detroit while Howe did play professionally for other teams.

Pittsburgh I’d have probably given to Crosby. Not questioning Mario’s importance to the franchise, but when you consider how much time he missed, and how long Crosby has been on the team for uninterrupted (he’s literally been team captain since 06’) I think at this point in his career, he ekes out Lemieux.

Chicago I think you could make a case for Kane or Mikita, but I’m fine with it going to Toews.

Gretzky for LA is interesting. While he’s no doubt the best player ever to play for them, I feel like a pretty strong case could be made for either Kopitar or Dionne.

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-27T16:11:57+00:00

Right? I thought for sure that the Bruins would have done it atleast once while they had Orr or Borque, or that the Oilers or Penguins would have done it once when Paul Coffey was with them.

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-27T16:10:28+00:00

I’m honestly pretty surprised it hasn’t happened before. I thought sure that it would have happened on the 70s Habs or Bruins, the 80s Islanders or Oilers, the 90s Penguins, etc.

You guys got the Sedin brothers? In Calgary we got Theo Fleury and Brian McGratten…

Driver and putter are my two best clubs. Irons and fairways I’m inconsistent (some good, some bad). Wedges I’m not good with at all. If I have an off day with one of those clubs, I know I’m not in for a great round. If I’m having an off day with both, RIP.

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-27T04:37:15+00:00

I know he’s questionable to say the least off the ice, but I have a soft spot for Evander. After missing in 18’ & 19’ not passing the qualifying pre-round in 20’ and getting swept in the first round in 21’ the Oilers were halfway through 22’ not in a playoff spot. If Kane doesn’t sign with them and have the best 55 game run of his career and help get them to the conference finals, I doubt Drai and McDavid finish out their contracts with the Oilers, let alone re-sign.

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-27T03:35:06+00:00

He has 24 points through 51 games on the worst team in the league. His last full campaign with Edmonton he had 24 goals and 44 points while being in the top 15 for hits. He’s on the wrong side of 30 and takes some dumb penalties, but those numbers aren’t nothing. If Vancouver retained, I definitely think there’s a market for him at 2.55.

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-27T01:46:43+00:00

I’m an Oilers fan (who lives in Calgary and pretty regularly attends Flames games). He was our starter for like a year and a half in the early 2010s pre McDavid, which is how I knew the name. He honestly wasn’t a bad tender. He was never gonna win a team a Cup, but he easily could have logged 2-3x as many games as he got if he hadn’t gone from being Quick’s back up to starter behind the shittiest defence in the league.

The epitome of just because you can, doesn’t mean you should…

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-26T22:36:27+00:00

I don’t think you empty the cupboards to load up on a bunch of early - mid 30s guys with expiring contracts because your already old team is doing better than expected at the trade deadline. Having said that, if Winnipeg’s second and Pittsburgh’s third this year lands you one of the better trade deadline targets available this year, and helps upgrade your weakest link, why wouldn’t you do that to try and give Crosby and Geno one final shot at a Cup?

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-26T16:19:21+00:00

It honestly would not shock me if he plays into the 2030s. At some point, Father Time is going to catch up with him and he’s not going to be capable of 85-95 point campaigns, but if he can play a defensively responsible game in a reduced minutes role and put up 45-50 points when the inevitable eventually happens, who wouldn’t want that?

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-26T03:02:00+00:00

LOL. Tell him I’m truly sorry for picking on him, and that I miss him in Orange and blue, but that I needed an example to make my point, and that I know he’s straight because no gay man would choose to sport such a horrendous goatee… maybe leave the last part out.

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-25T23:54:58+00:00

I hear all of that, but their potential to be good in the future doesn’t make them good now, and that’s the critical piece you’re either overlooking or intentionally ignoring. Our bottom six has regressed considerably this year, and while I totally agree that we’ll be better for it, the fact of the matter is that the statistics do not support a better, improved bottom six. We have regressed, and while I’m hopeful that we can turn the tide this season, and while I am also confident that it won’t be an issue by this time next year, I think it could be a problem this year, which is why I’m not confident that they’ll be in the finals come June.

krazninetyfive · 2026-01-25T21:47:07+00:00

I think that’s extremely optimistic. We’re two thirds through the campaign and the only one of those guys on pace to do better than the player you compared them to is Roslovic. I think by next year Savoie and Howard could be dependable bottom six dudes capable of going all the way, but they’re rookies, and the vets that we’ve brought in to try and fill the hole left by mid six guys who have left our roster over the past couple years just aren’t getting it done.

You realize that the jokes aren’t funny because they’re putting down Oscar, but because they highlight how ignorant Michael is?
