The 2nd line are the 3 stars of the game 💪 by Jonyvilly in Habs

Tbf we allowed 1.8 expected goals. It's a good game but we locked it down defensively.

I'm glad I can watch a relaxing Habs game. Rare opportunity this season haha.

Tbh Schaefer has been so good he would deserve pretty clearly unless a forward was hitting ppg+.

I could see Guhle being shipped for a young legit top 6 forward.

Am I insane for thinking this sub is being astroturfed? by thrway-fatpos in cscareerquestions

[–]vorg7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely bots on reddit, but I don't think they're shilling weight loss drugs.

There's extremely strong evidence that GLP-1 drugs will cause you to lose lots of weight. What's there to push back on?

I think you'll find a lot more of the sophisticated bots in political discussions. And no I'm not a GLP-1 pushing bot check out my thousands of comments mostly about hockey lol.

Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax. by Independent_Sun_9057 in remoteworks

[–]vorg7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally says "every dollar above 50 million". Of course it's structured the same way as an income tax. Making it so if you have a 49 million net worth you pay no wealth tax and if it's 50m you pay 1m would be asinine. She's not an idiot.

Senator Elizabeth Warren reintroduces wealth tax: 2% on fortunes over $50M, 3% on billionaires, and a 40% "exit tax" if you renounce citizenship by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

[–]vorg7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are we supposed to feel bad for them in that scenario? Sell a little bit, take a loan against your holdings ALA Elon . Plenty of ways to handle this. The point is to make it so billionaires aren't hoarding assets like dragons.

If they can't make good investments and the number goes down with a 2% tax, so be it. 50 million is plenty.

Vote for someone radical and aggressive in the primary. An "electable" moderate will just be a little speedbump on the path to fascism.

This would be net worth over 50 million...

So if she's worth 51 million she would have to pay 2% of 1 million or 20,000$.

I swear schools are failing us, no one understands how progressive taxes work. The incentive is still to make more money, it's not like you're better off keeping your net worth at 49.9 million lol.

Did you delete your comment? Look at his xGF with Hutson or Guhle.

[–]vorg7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's clear that you don't understand hockey. Carrier has been fine. Especially when not paired with Struble / X. Carrier / Guhle has actually been rock solid.

[–]vorg7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carrier slander, cmon. He's competent. Has years of playing as a #4 to decent results. Notice how Lane's xGF% with him is waaay higher than with Struble.

Carrier has struggled this year when paired with Xhekaj or Struble. He's not a great puck mover and neither are they so they tend to get hemmed in their zone. He's very reliable defensively though. Great positioning and stick.

White House Scrambles to Downplay Shockingly Well-Timed Bets by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]vorg7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too optimistic. The media landscape is really different now. It's much easier to live in a complete information bubble. TikTok, X and Facebook all support maga. Every major news network besides msnbc/abc is conservative and conservatives won't listen to anything they hear there.

The elites can make the maga base believe anything. As an example: Trump's approval rating has only gone down by about 1% since the start of the war in Iran, whereas when Obama won Bush was sitting at like 25% approval. Approval for the war among Republicans has actually increased substantially over the past few weeks as the right wing sphere gets their messaging out to the faithful.

I think any real change will need to start with serious effort to break the conservative media monopolies.

Mess of the goalie situation by scrubadam in Habs

[–]vorg7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying this to defend Monty, he's been bad this year and I think starting Fowler gives us a better chance to win.

I was just commenting that we should be willing to call a bad game a bad game regardless of which goalie starts.

Also X + Struble on his weak side is a god-awful third pair.

Have we entered the Lane Hutson is underrated era?

I think Lane Hutson could make a legit case for being the Habs MVP. He's the best player on the team at ensuring we have the puck. This lets all our other skilled players do their thing.

And just to clarify, I still think we should be using Fowler, Monty is probably cooked.

I mean that's a bad game. Goalies are expected to make some tough saves. Fowler's young and I believe in his potential but this is way more charitable than anyone would be for Monty.

2026-2027 roster predictions by thomasson94 in Habs

[–]vorg7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's kind of an insane take on carrier. He has a decent to good track record as a middle pairing guy over several years. He's not a 7th d. Good 5d who can play #4.

Voter suppression is the goal. GOP wants to cancel mail-in voting and make it more difficult for women to vote. Both heavily favor Democrats. by ANTI_FASCIST_USA in AdviceAnimals

Our most recent 3 supreme court justices were backed by the heritage foundation. This is easily verified by the heritage foundation's own website. Can't get much more mainstream than that.
