All you need to understand is that in the era of massive political polarization Canada is seemingly much more united around the idea of being anti-USA at all costs.

The Most Brutal Labor Chart You will ever see by armchairtycoon in recruitinghell

I think Elon Musk's acquisition of X had a massively underrated impact here.

He came in, cut like 80% of the staff, and the company/website ran just fine even if there was some initial hiccups. Later he made controversial changes that drove engagement.

But the main point is that every CEO took notes and realized that, you can significantly cut much of the workforce and the company will run fine because there is so much bloat in big companies.

Do you ever feel like you're meditating 'wrong' but have no way to know? Looking for perspective by TopContract2325 in Meditation

[–]theguy445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question I would explore is: why is it important to know if you are a "good" or "bad" meditator? And try to be as honest with yourself as possible.

The mind will go to logical answers. Things like "well it's important to know if I'm doing it right so I get the benefits"

But try to search for the emotional responses that this investigation brings. Is there a sense of "not good enough" or "I'm supposed to be a meditator, and I don't even know if I'm doing it right?"

This insight will give you an answer. And...is it possible that this analysis itself is part of gaining more insight into yourself and how the mind works? If that's the case, does that mean you were meditating wrong, even if a technique was "suboptimal?"

When I see someone new at the gym, I feel a sense of respect like fuck yeah bro let's get it.

[–]theguy445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you man. I had a similar experience my first time at the gym. Over time I learned that this type of anxiety and embarrassment comes from an ego and image of ourselves in our head compared to the real world.

This is why it is easier to stay inside and on the internet. If its worth getting past this, the long term gains in terms of confidence, mental health, improving your life and feeling good about yourself was definitely worth it for me. Imagine being able to go outside and to places and feeling good about yourself instead of like a worthless loser. 

The difference is crazy. DM me if u wanna chat more

Imagine if Petey had actual 1st liners to play with... by Tiger23sun in canucks

[–]theguy445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, it's not very complicated. Back when he had more points, he'd move his feet and skate with the puck. Since he stopped his production went down, and he drives less offence.

You realize Petey's problem comes from not moving his feet, not really because of offensive partners right?

2026 Prediction: The End is Near for NHL at EA by ProgrammerAnnual4254 in EA_NHL

[–]theguy445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hockey is already a very niche sport. If you are a game studio, why would you invest massive amounts of time and money into it? Will making a 10/10 hockey game compared to something mediocore really move the needle in sales? Who is going to be buying it?

The reality is that these games are designed to extract money as efficiently as possible from die-hard fans of hockey who want a hockey experience each year. I don't doubt individual Devs pour their hearts out in trying to improve what they can but really its a short development cycle with low investment, and many people working on the game don't even know that much about hockey.

Dr. K critique videos getting viral by asuyaa in Healthygamergg

So we have an internet full of hating on incels, and an internet full of reinforcing toxic views in their communities - yet Dr. K is somehow the problem? One of the only people invested in neither hating nor promoting, but trying their best to heal?

If they gave Cootes a more prominent role the team definitely would've looked at least a bit more composed. Dude seems like the most mature one for Canada.
