This is exactly the same with diving in soccer. People always say that the player barely got touched, but acted like he just got hit by a semi. It’s just a way to say “hey he fouled me ref, make sure you make the call”. Half the time they would get the call if they didn’t dive, but it’s just a gesture to affirm it…

True, I know it’s probably only for next year. No NHLers isn’t going to ruin mens hockey, but it ruins mens hockey in the Olympics. I equate this now to the annual World Championship tournament - I watch if there’s nothing else on - but it’s nothing compared to the Olympic hockey that’s now (at least temporarily)…

Well then men’s might as well go now that there’s no NHL players.

Compared to lots of other billionaires (Mark Davis for one) he’s fucking Brad Pitt.

No it doesn’t bother me personally that much. But I think it’s just about exactly on par with calling a female a bitch. Calling someone a jerk or a-hole would be considered to be negative in a lot of ways.

There was serious consideration to remove women’s hockey from the Olympics a few years ago because US and Canada are the only competitive teams.

If they do that then remove male connotation from using “dick” to describe men. I’ve heard as many women say that to men as men calling women a bitch.

What about when a female calls a male a “dick”. That’s an explicitly masculine slur. Is that not sexist though, because you can only be sexist to women?

Exactly. Like I, a white Canadian born male, spent a large portion of my childhood growing up in Thailand, because my Dad got a job there as an engineer setting up a power plant. At first the locals were nice, thinking we were just tourists. Once they realized we were there for a while, they started treating us…

I’ve copied and pasted this exact definition to people many times who say that racism is a “power dynamic”, aka white people are the only racists. That is so untrue it’s ridiculous.

It’s doubly great when their own cheating screws them over.

I knew someone beat me to it...

I was stuck for a night in a small town on the Cambodia/Thailand border. They had basically the same thing with a casino. The workers were all Cambodian who entered in the back. The front was technically in a neutral zone between the two countries, but it was used for Thai people coming to gamble, since it’s…

As usual, Canada gets cut out. Though, as a Canadian, this is one thing I’d be happy to be cut out of.

My university wasn’t nicknamed the University of a Billion Chinese for no reason. It was INSANE how often there were Chinese students who couldn’t verbally string 5 words of English together, yet they got an “A” on their final paper. Funny how that worked.

Considering my old one got ruined while Fedexing it to Ottawa last year for renewal, costing me an extra $100 to then start the process over as a new application (instead of a renewal) and also losing all my cool stamps from all over the world in the process - I’m pretty happy they upgraded the quality.

I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve had 3 Lexuses in the past, even though I didn’t like their exterior at all. Now I like them and I just bought and Audi Q5 for some reason. lol.

It looks a poor man’s Audi A7. I LOVE the way the A7 looks for the front half, but the back looks like they didn’t know what to do with it, so they just sorta pinched it off.

The way Lexus has gone is unreal. The NX is my favorite SUV/Crossover in terms of appearance. I used to hate Lexus, just judging by the way they looked.
