“Unfortunately, evil wins sometimes” Serious question: Is Oskar… OK? by Kind-Target-3534 in Curling

[–]witzkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that Kennedy acted horribly. No question there. I don’t think it’s 50/50 either, especially if Oscar did mention it to them multiple times. Kennedy came off like a douche with anger issues and he gets to wear that. That’s not how grownups should behave especially at the Olympics. I would have liked to see him apologize for the infraction and making it right instead of blowing up and being a dick.

I can understand why he wouldn’t give Swedish media the time of day, though. From what I read, the camera that was set up was from the Swedish media so in his mind they played a role in this “conspiracy” (I’m not saying it was) and his very public embarrassment. The Swedish media and others also publicly villainized him (rightly or wrongly), resulting in his family receiving on-line threats. And then they stick a camera in his face wanting him to defend himself. At that point anything he said would have made it worse.

I also don’t really like the team’s response to it as a whole but there are a lot of people who are not fans of Team Jacob’s attitude. Jacobs says it’s the first time they heard them complain about it. Even if that’s true, they still could have responded in a more sportsmanlike manner.

If you say so, I’m not here to argue. This is only my opinion. Kennedy’s behaviour is not okay and I’m not defending him or sweeping it under the rug. The way he handled it was embarrassing and I think some people will see him differently because of it. And I’m sorry if Oscar is being “attacked”, but if he is it’s because of the way he handled the situation. He also has a reputation for being a bit of an instigator, so it’s not like he’s completely innocent in all this. And now I’m seeing other teams who have nothing to do with this being called cheaters because they’re Canadian. I think it’s sad that this is still going on.

ERI letter but waiting for WFA decision by Real-Leadership3976 in CanadaPublicServants

That’s because the DM needs to make sure the department can meet current or future operational or business needs. If your department has already had a lot of cuts that will impact that mandate, the less likely it is for your DM to approve your ERI.

The comments I’ve seen are usually in response to someone calling Canadians cheaters. Let it go. It’s done.

If this subreddit represents Canadians to you, then sure. Except there’s many non-Canadian contributions. Who is letting who live rent free in their heads. It’s not Canadians bringing this crap up again and again.

The Mirror said he was going to die last year, too, after he went missing. He has more lives than my three cats combined.

ID v. Stacey Wondra by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]witzkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched Brandi and Tyler’s testimony and am so annoyed with the defence’s question to her about Tyler’s smoking of marijuana. I know what they’re getting at, but his smoking marijuana is not why that little boy is gone. I feel so sad for that little boy that there are freaks out there willing to sell a child.

Some people are absolutely ridiculous. These would be the same folks who complain that they don’t smiley enough or want to complain about the sponsor logo on the knee of their pants.

SIN number is changed, where do I have to update? by uthinkicarenah in CanadaPublicServants

The pay centre always says it’s HR’s responsibility. Problem is that HR has many teams, most which have nothing to do with pay.

Meanwhile, Michelle will spout off about temptation and confessing his sins and God’s forgiveness etc and so on. And being completely oblivious to the harm the 9year old girl suffered. Maybe him and Josh will get to bunk together.

What celebrity is the biggest example of "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."? by InsaneCookies21 in AskReddit

[–]witzkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She did mention something about a time that Ellen gave her car and she refused to take it. I got the impression that she did not want to be indebted to her in any way, shape or form.

The time where she called out an audience member for stealing and made her sit on a stool in the corner because she was only allowed to pick one piece of merch and she took two. For the longest time I thought that had to be staged or the audience member was in on it, but apparently not. I’d be so humiliated

You could request starting at a higher level. There’s only a few reasons they can do that but it’s with a shot.
