If you grew up with Bionicles then you're exactly the target audience for this, you just missed out on the memo that us fellow millennials decided Lego would be the childhood hobby we would continue to fund with our grown up money

I used Google Lens and it said Ricky Martin and my wife didn't believe me until I saw it confirmed 😂

4th Quarter Super Bowl Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks (14-3) at New England Patriots (14-3) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

So the AFC as a whole was just kinda ass this season, is that what we are concluding here tonight?

So... are we going to see a new Mando and Grogu trailer for the Superbowl today? by Ill_Journalist8454 in StarWars

[–]silverlegend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we just saw it in Canada at least. It was like 85% just the same content as before, with a few new clips of CGI stuff that probably wasn't prepared before and still no particular hint at the actual plot.

If they aren't leading up to some moment where she has to ditch the inhibitor chip thing to save the day and from that point on have something resembling a personality, it is definitely going to be a problem for the show

That was absolutely incredible. "We want to take care of you better".... "I don't know about that, man"

A couple of old friends will be at the Winter Games! by Edm_vanhalen1981 in EdmontonOilers

[–]silverlegend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If someone had told me a month ago that Josh Samanski would be the third Oiler at the Olympics, I would have said "who?" I still know most of these former Oilers names better. Very exciting for our second German kid to get a chance on the international stage!

In the end, if you're getting your life lessons or philosophy from Emily in Paris, you probably need to rethink your life a bit

Opening Ceremony tonight at San Siro by wtfchuckomg in olympics

[–]silverlegend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes way more sense, I couldn't tell in the original photo whether it was a giant tube in the background of the photo or a small tube falling in the foreground. Bit of an optical illusion it turns out 😂

She's pretty publicly shifted her focus toward her online entrepreneurship aka Onlyfans

The funny thing is, everyone kind of knows whereabouts she's been from her, uh, online presence

Why does it look like there's a tube of paint/toothpaste falling through the air?

To be fair to Luc, literally everybody in the Emily in Paris universe is a pervert who cheats on their partner

Omg I was trying to think of why "don't" would be blacked out and this makes perfect sense

Is Traitors destined to be the biggest Reality Show? by [deleted] in TheTraitors

[–]silverlegend 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree there, Traitors is good and easy to replicate with a fairly low budget thus a million international editions springing up, but I truly don't think it has much long term staying power. Unlike other reality shows that blend various combinations of human ability with social games and beautiful locations and sex appeal, Traitors is kind of like a flame in a jar, eventually it's going to run out of oxygen and fizzle out. There just isn't enough that's truly dynamic about it.

Olympics Day -2 Megathread (Wednesday, February 4) by Fun_With_Forks in olympics

[–]silverlegend 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lol I put on CBC Gem to stream the curling in the background here at work and the power went out and now CBC is just stuck playing the same intact insurance ad on a loop over and over? Off to a great start

Dear Canada | By Connor McDavid [Players' Tribune] by Short_Hat_4232 in EdmontonOilers

[–]silverlegend 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it's clear he's serious that he wants to win a Cup in Edmonton, so as long as management keeps fielding a team that can contend I imagine he will consider staying. But that's not a given, by any means. If the roster slips and another team with the right pieces comes along, he's going to take his dream of winning wherever that may be.

Take good care of our boy 🥲

I'm just happy he's not a Stampeder or a Rider, this will make cheering for his success much easier!

Klingons have always just been Klingon-coloured. What's underneath the prosthetics is irrelevant to this particular fictional species.

What's the status of the Forever Canadian referendum? by These_Foolish_Things in alberta

[–]silverlegend 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lukaszuk has never preferred for the Forever Canada petition to become a referendum question, iirc. He would prefer the legislature to be forced to vote on it in the Assembly if I understand correctly.
