“The key to the creative type is that he is separated out of the common pool of shared meanings. There is something in his life experience that makes him take in the world as a problem; as a result he has to make personal sense out of it.” Ernest Becker

Bolts fans complaining about Kucherov disappearing against the Habs . Sabres fans complaining about Tage and Tuch . Now it’s just one game but I read Canes fans complaining about Aho disappearing. Maybe it’s time to give credit to the « magician » that makes all these stars disappear- Nick Suzuki . He is a shoe in for the Selke trophy this year and he is truly playing defense to an elite level during these playoffs.

One of my very close (good friends) killed himself when he turned 40. He had a beautiful wife and a baby girl. He was an orthopedic surgeon. He was gentle and always kind. He shot himself in his home with a shotgun. His suicide note said he had no friends. I think about him a lot. His wife. His daughter. I think about the kind of friend I was. I think about being his age and what life is like. Check on someone today. You never know what they are dealing with. RIP Eric. You are missed my friend. I’m sorry.

You say 3rd best centre but he is also the best defensive centre. Only guy who has a chance to slow down Mackinion. Plus the other Habs centres ( Evan’s & danualt) are very good defensively. Plus dach is a handful when he is on his game. But ya they need to get a lot of offence from demidov, slaf, caufield, new hook & Hutson to have a chance.

@OutlawTory @dstaples If you are guilty of misconduct why have a misconduct policy if you are not going to use it? Honestly I think it is totally fine to support both sides on this issue, neither side seems totally unreasonable to me.

Lots to hate about the Vegas franchise. But giving a second chance to Carter Hart isn't one of them. The judge in the case didn't just find no guilt, she exonerated the accused. finding as a matter of fact there was no sexual assault, that the sex was consensual. If you're curious to know the facts of the Hart and his Hockey Canada teammates case, here is summary of the 11 key findings of fact in judge Maria Carroccia's ruling: 1. That Carroccia found the complainant, E.M., to be both unreliable and not credible in her testimony about the events of the night in question, June. 18, 2018 in London, Ontario. More than that, Carroccia found that E.M. had given her consent to the sex acts with the men that night. The Hockey Canada Five were always presumed innocent until found guilty under our system, but Carroccia’s finding does more than find them not guilty. It essentially exonerates them, though we will all likely agree that they acted in poor and immature fashion that night and needed to do more to treat E.M. with care. 2. The judge also found that the notion “believe all women” is a political slogan, but goes against fundamental Canadian values that work to ensure that no innocent person is found guilty without a fair trial. 3. That key video evidence from Jack’s Bar where E.M. met Michael McLeod and other Hockey Canada players that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. said about the players initiating overt sexual contact on the dance flooor, and that E.M., in fact, put her hand on McLeod’s crotch area on the dance floor. 4. That key video evidence from the bar that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. claimed about getting plied with drinks from the players. In fact, E.M. bought almost all of her own drinks. 5. That key video evidence contradicts what E.M. claimed about the players trying to separate her from her friends. 6. That key video evidence and E.M’s own testimony contradicts her claim that she was completely out of it that night due to alcohol consumption. 7. That E.M. had reasons to fabricate a false narrative based on numerous factors, including making things right with her own boyfriend. 8. There was repeated and consistent testimony, including from Crown witnesses Tyler Steenbergen and Brett Howden, that E.M. pushed for the players to engage with sex acts with her, and in the end Carroccia accepted this evidence as fact. 9. That there was numerous evidence of E.M.’s testimony been unreliable. 10. That E.M. had several opportunities to get dressed and to leave if she was fearful, but she left the bathroom where her clothes were and walked naked into the room full of players to continue on with their evening. This dynamic started after she had admittedly had consensual sex with McLeod. 11. That the players group chat the following day was not an effort to fabricate a story, but a group decision to simply tell the truth about what had happened with E.M.

@MrDanielBuck How old is the kid? How far did he throw the chair? Did he hit someone? If the kid is in Grade 3 and he throws a chair down an empty hallway does he get expelled??? Like 99% of the time if any one is injured even a little the kid gets expelled, maybe not in kindergarten.

I’m sorry, if a kid throws a chair, I don’t care what’s the root cause or what unmet need they’re trying to express The school cannot tolerate that behavior and the kid has to be expelled

@aakashgupta You have to admit it is ironic that Kevin himself had to borrow a bunch of money (10k back in day) from his Mom after college to start his career.

70% of wealthy families lose their fortune by the second generation. A 20-year study of 3,200 families found the number one cause: unprepared heirs who never developed urgency because they never had to. Mr. Wonderful built a trust that pays for everything from birth through the last day of college. Then zero. That structure does something most parenting advice never touches: it makes the deadline visible. Trevor was failing high school when he asked how his trust worked. O'Leary told him the truth: if you only finish high school, I'm dead and you're broke. The kid could see the exact moment his safety net disappears. He got his grades up, got into Harvard, became an engineer, worked at Tesla. Kahneman's research on loss aversion shows losing something feels roughly twice as painful as gaining the equivalent. Most wealthy parents motivate with future rewards. O'Leary showed his son what he already had, then showed him exactly when he'd lose it. That asymmetry moved the needle where years of lecturing didn't. The part that makes this land differently: his mother Georgette did the same thing to him. Paid for his college, showed up at graduation, told him the money was done. "The dead bird under the nest never learns to fly." He built SoftKey, sold it, accumulated $400 million. Then he built the same mechanism for his own kids. 65% of American parents provide financial support to their kids between ages 22 and 40. The wealthiest generation in history is about to transfer $84 trillion to their children over the next two decades. Most of that money will vanish within one generation because the heirs never saw the cliff. The trust has a cutoff date. That cutoff date is the real inheritance.
Jack@Jackkk

Kevin O’Leary reveals he cuts his kids off after college “I set up a trust. It does not provide to anybody anything after they finish education” “From birth to the last day of education, full free ride. Everything paid for but if you drop out of school or you don’t make it to college, you’re cut off” “My son was doing really poorly in high school and said, ‘My friend has a trust. Tell me how mine works’. I said this trust pays till you finish high school but with your marks you’re probably never making it to college” “He said, ‘Yeah, but I don’t have to worry about it. I got a trust’. I said no, if you only make it through high school, I’m dead and you’re broke” “The horror in his eyes when he figured that out motivated him to get off his ass and use the next three years to milk that trust to get into college” “He got his marks up, became an engineer, worked for Tesla and got into both Harvard and MIT”

At the very least one guy invited the team back to his room to have sex with an intoxicated young woman without asking her in advance. That has to be at least in violation of the NHL conduct policy. Everything that followed that should be seen as continuation of that misconduct. Perhaps though Carter Hart paid his dues. The other guy shouldn’t be allowed to play in NHL again.

Boomers are the 1st generation to pass on the cost of education to the next generation through student loans, all that extra money / jobs as a result fuelled the fire for housing prices extraordinary increases. All the boomers housing wealth is a direct result of that choice. The bill has to paid somewhere / sometime.

Kevin O’Leary’s comments about young people making sandwiches instead of ordering out are going viral, and honestly, a lot of what I’m seeing on social media about it annoys the hell out of me First off, it is hard to be a young adult right now. Inflation is brutal. Housing is expensive and in short supply. Groceries, gas, insurance, and energy costs are hitting everyone hard. Starting out today is not easy, and pretending otherwise is disconnected from reality. But what I completely reject is this growing narrative that boomers somehow “stole” prosperity from younger generations or should now give up what they worked for. My parents are boomers. They started their marriage with almost nothing. They lived in a depressing basement apartment in downtown Lexington before moving into a tiny rental house. My dad worked his way up at Pepsi-Cola over a 30-year career, starting in the warehouse and eventually becoming controller of the company. My parents didn’t buy their first home until I was in fifth grade, and even then it was a very modest ranch house. We ate at home almost every night. Going out to eat was rare. There were no Amazon packages showing up daily, no DoorDash, no expensive vacations, no constant lifestyle spending. A lot of people today act like previous generations all bought mansions at 23 while working part-time jobs, and that simply isn’t reality for most families. That doesn’t mean young people should just “stop complaining.” There are real economic problems we need to address. I help my own kids financially because I know how difficult things are. But I also expect them to spend responsibly, avoid wasting money, and work toward independence. No one is owed an easy life. Most people struggle at some point. I’ve worked three jobs at once as a single mom just to survive. It wasn’t fun, and I don’t wish that on my kids, but struggle is sometimes part of building a better future. Blaming “boomers” for everything won’t fix housing shortages or lower grocery prices. Spending all day online complaining won’t either. If people want change, get involved. Push for housing reform. Support policies that increase supply, competition, energy affordability, and economic opportunity. Build something. Contribute to your community. Fight for solutions instead of resentment. Quit whining. No one “owes” you anything.

@0d3num @SunfishBreeze @cptdankkk Maybe if you bought the lowest quality stuff here with no nutritional value you might be able to pull that off in Canada but obviously not very healthy. Food prices here are out of control.

@FlowJunkie311 @SunfishBreeze @cptdankkk I live in norway and it’s the most expensive country in the world or close to it. I eat 6-8 slices of bread with butter, jam and cream cheese every day and it costs me less than $4 a day and I eat probably twice as much as anyone I know due to long distances running.

Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"
