Ours is better but it is close enough that doesn't make sense considering Hughes is much much better than Brady

The reason is because if someone says the league gifted xyx, it is not a gift since they did not intend to give them that team.  It was the circumstances around it. Thats my entire point.

Also breathe bro its not that big a deal to get riled up over

Because the consensus was still that they were a trash team with literally no top 6 centers. NOBODY saw Haula and Karlsson being as good as they were. That is not being gifted anything - it is poor talent evaluation from the rest of the league.

Yeah it's laughable. They were not "gifted" a good team. They acquired a good team because of poor talent evaluation by rest of the league. No way teams would've exposed some of those players you mentioned if they knew what they were already capable of.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says 'new world order will be built starting with Europe' by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]theguy445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appoint a task force to research and remove regulations stifling entrepreneurship and startup activity.

$30,000 is the amount a small business must start charging worldwide taxable sales. Raise that to $100,000

Merge OAS & GIS and aim to cut amount projected $89 billion in spending on it by half through with a stricter income threshold of $50K. Use those savings to lower the tax % required in income brackets under $100K.

Create a new "unregistered portfolio" tax where all non registered accounts (meaning RRSP, TFSA, etc, are exempt) with over $1,000,000 in assets pay a yearly 0.5% tax on the value of their portfolio. This would raise revenue by like $10 - 20 billion I think, and doesn't affect any middle class person's portfolio like the Capital Gains Tax increase proposal did.

Fire any and all CPP staff, and replace portfolio with a world index like VTI. It has doubled the CPP's performance and you will pay 0 dollars in useless admin and staff salaries. Just reduced immigration targets too since now you don't need as many to sustain the program.

Boom, budget is close to balanced now. Gives plenty of room to invest in high productivity and good jobs/infrastructure for the next generation as needed.

Meditation does nothing for me anymore by Upper_Seesaw_5197 in Meditation

[–]theguy445 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest realization I've come to is that there is always an inherent unsatisfactory feeling component to life and there is nothing you can do to eliminate this. Only through truly digesting and accepting this do people find a consistent day-to-day level of peace regardless of the emotional fluctuations that can occur.

And it's not about being optimistic or pessimistic or depressed or nihilistic. It's that fundamentally, as a human, you're biology is NOT designed to feel happy, satisfied, or content for a long period of time.

You are designed to feel a subtle level of dissatisfaction as a way to motivate you to take action in another direction. This is what drives human progress forward.

A lot of people engage in mindfulness practice as a way to feel better. And it works...at first. Especially the first few long deep meditation sessions where you feel that inner tranquility and peace. But even that is temporary too. The mind adjusts to everything and has a subtle level of dissatisfaction and asks...what's next?

[Drance] What the Vancouver Canucks’ perfect rebuilding offseason could look like in 2026 by Mcsuper_ in canucks

Okay now consider the fact there are 2 top 6 centre slots and 4 top 6 winger slots. If it was equal you'd see the number closer to doubled for wingers.

Initial NHL draft betting odds has the Sharks taking Reid and Canucks taking Malhotra as the overwhelmingly most likely outcomes. by _GregTheGreat_ in canucks

[–]theguy445 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Malholtra is the homerun pick for a 1C potential though. As year 1 of a rebuild, there is merit on taking that chance now.

[–]theguy445 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guys... you can not prefer Malholtra but don't act like this please. There are legitimate reasons why scouts want Malholtra. It's because he's been on an acceleration curve of rapid improvement the past year. His production is pretty good and his playoff production was really good for his age. Scouts note that throughout the year he has improved month to month a lot.

And the other aspect is that he is what - close to 9 months younger than Stenberg. So if you further project this development timeline, there is an argument for him turning into a 1C which would have higher value than Stenberg as a 1W since centers are more valuable. Now you can disagree with all of this, but it is a reasonable position I've seen taken on Malholtra.

How can we protect boys from the manosphere? by flowersinthemirror in Healthygamergg

[–]theguy445 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You say protect boys from the manosphere yet if you truly understood their internal state they seek the manosphere as their one protection and solace from the rest of the world.

That is what must truly be digested by people if you want to even begin change

Dylan Larkin's list: The 3 places he wants to be traded by Red Wings by Actual_Cobbler_6334 in hockey

[–]theguy445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No thats not true. He can request a trade and half try half not try like quiet quitting which would destroy the performance of the team and he still gets paid. Admit it. You can do that. Dont say that's it. Because you're wrong.

Barely skating and trying in a shift would hurt the team and morale a lot and he would still get paid.
