It would also require trust in elected officials that they can competently plan past the election cycle. I wonder how much of this is people don't buy into it and how much is it with a lack of trust or seeing a lack of vision from elected officials.

It is a tough pill to swallow and dissapointing when it turns out that people we idolize and look up to aren't the people we hoped them to be. In any given population of people there is going to be a wide range of people from really horrible to really great (and everything in betwen). Being a hockey player, actor, or any kind of celebrity doesn't automatically make you a great person. It just makes you great at some things that happen to make you famous. At the end of the day, take care of yourself, be careful of who you idolize and make sure the people you choose to emulate are deserving, and represent the kind of person you want to be.

I think the government thinks they win more brownie points by someone getting a physical cheque in hand a few times a year vs the smaller tax savings of seeing a few hundred dollars extra on your pay cheque split over 26ish pay periods. Would certainly seem easier (and cheaper) to administer your way.

Lions did get Ryan Rigmaiden back a couple of years ago. Would expect they have a decent pipeline coming in.

Think she was the same. Everyone was just simply excited to have the Jets back. 10 years later, just having them back isn't enough.

The problem with trading this early is the extra 2 months of salary you need to take on. Especially if you are going to take on big salaries like Toews or Kane (max 50% retention without a 3rd team getting involved). Don't make rash decisions. The team built a decent buffer to hopefully weather this storm. They will fall in the standings, but as long as you can stay in playoff contention and make the push back up when everyone is back.- US Politics
Seeing as these get sold on opensea which uses crypto as payment, we can only guess.... But chances are a fair amount.- US Politics
Apparently these sold out within 12 hours. A fool and his money are soon parted.- US Politics
Brings back the nightmare of when he was president. See a news item. Not sure if it is real or a parody Go look it up Turns out it is real Not sure if I should be surprised or not BTW: For anyone who was interested in buying one for the cheap prices of $99. You don't even get a card. You are buying a "digital card".- US Politics

I don't think excuses should be made for bad behaviour. It should be called out, and the fact "everyone is bad" shouldn't be an excuse. We also shouldn't lower our expectations because one party is worse or not criticize a party because they aren't "as bad". In the long term, a party who isn't subject to criticism and forced to answer questions on how they behave and their platform will regress and become something worse.- Canadian Politics
I don't think it is a bad thing to aspire to have the leaders of our country to be more than simply "they are better than what is on the right". I would like to see leadership in any party that can inspire the population and build trust across historical party lines. A foolish dream? Perhaps. But this country is starting to become more and more divided. And something needs to be done to start uniting the population or we will cease to be a country.- Random Video Thread

This is the 3rd post in the thread. This is your reply to that exact post. To you finally saying the same thing. Pertinent parts bolded. 6 pages of you arguing nonsense only to finally agree with what everyone has been saying from the start. Unfucking believable.- Still love this team
That is why I quoted Lawlers numbers from his last year with the Bombers.- Still love this team
Lawler in 2021 - 13 Games Played, 1024 yards - 6 TDs - Average of 78.7 yards per game - 0.46 TDs per game Schoen in 2022 - 18 Games Played, 1441 yards - 16 TDs - Average of 80.1 yards per game - 0.89 TDs per game --> In his rookie year. Lawler had yet to play a full season. Is Lawler the best receiver in the game? - Game 35 vs Minnesota
