@VirgosGroovv @edthekraken It’s a t-shirt to celebrate the Hockey Canada physical therapist of 20+ years (retiring in 2026). The entire Team Canada is wearing them to show their appreciation

@RogersHelps @uncut_jurist Your outage page you keep linking is ALSO not working. Please stop directing people there and to customer service - both don’t work.

@uncut_jurist So sorry to hear about your service interruption at the moment. Were you able to check rogers.com/outage to see if you are impacted by any issues at the moment as it can determine if there is an issue that's impacting you? 1/2

@RogersHelps @ahmadbabar Same here. Internet is down and your outage map is not working. Had to check elsewhere to get info and your helpline hung up almost immediately because of high call volume.
English
@ahmadbabar Greetings Ahmad! Have you tried looking up your home address on our outage page at: rogers.com/outage to see if there's any known issues impacting your area? ^ch

@crazyer6 @heatedrivalryud @SimonsPurpleH I’m in Ontario and same. I was bracing for it beforehand but it was even worse than expected.
English
@heatedrivalryud @SimonsPurpleH I live in Canada, I wanted to order an Artemis 2 mission patch, the shipping to Vancouver from the US was $54 dollars.

@Shannon_Brooke_ A lot of pro athletes actually drink pop as part of their training and even mid-competition. In the NHL, Ovechkin chugs coke on the bench instead of water
English
@Sayd0ugh @RachelXReads And the US is objectively one of the cheapest book markets, alongside the UK. I’m Canadian and all of our books list both the US price and CAD on the back, so I know exactly how much you’re charged. I’ve never seen a $10 paperback in Canada - they usually start at $25 min.
English
@laurapott @RachelXReads buying second hand books will always be cheaper anywhere and going to the library is the same cost effective wise across all regions. I doubt that popular booksellers in places like europe/asia are marking up books higher than the US
English
My husband wrote a book that sells close to 250 copies a year, and it sells more every year. He gets less than a dollar per book. Writers don't write for money. They write because they believe in what they put on the page. Buying a book is one small way you can show appreciation for the effort it takes to create something they hope will make your life just a little bit better.

@Sayd0ugh @RachelXReads Again, you’re assuming your experience is universal when it’s not. Yes, second hand and libraries are more affordable options but many places don’t have access to those resources and it can be months waiting for copies of certain books, even if they do have them.
English
@Mirothestallion @puckdrop def not if the Leafs are what he chose to go with
English
@MikeKalinowski @RuthSummie Shockingly, not everyone lives in the US. Those prices are absurdly low/non-existent in most countries.
English
@RuthSummie I’m just curious, what is your basis for this? Most books except when they’re nearly released are under $15 brand new. Most paperbacks are around $10.
English
@samworkman @RuthSummie Shockingly, some people don’t live in the UK. That’s an absurdly low/non-existent price in many countries.
English
@RuthSummie A paperback is £9.99. A price that hasn't changed in 20+ years. How cheap do you want them to be?
English
@samworkman @zbogus77 Shocking concept but some people live in countries other than yours.
English
@zbogus77 Books are cheap. Libraries are free.
The only time books are close to being "luxury items" is when you're buying the signed deluxe slipcase edition with sprayed edges or something. And even then it's maybe £35 at most and the paperback version continues to exist.
English
Call me a commie but books being luxury items is actually really bad
Humbly Happily@laetissima918
Personally, I am sick of people wanting everything to be cheaper, free, a human right, etc etc. When we make everything cheap, nothing has value. Not the quality, nor the labor, nor the ingenuity in its invention. It used to be that books were a luxury item. You have one as a status symbol. It is passed down. It is cherished. Like a piece of jewelry or art. Now people treat books like junk food. And the quality of books out there reflect it. There are very, very few works of literature past the nineteenth century remotely worth knowing precisely due to the fact that literariness itself is no longer valued.
English
@Sayd0ugh @RachelXReads have you ever considered that not everyone is American??? Just because the US has cheap book prices doesn’t mean it’s the same everywhere else
English
@RachelXReads they could also go to a library and check out a book for free, or buy books second hand (which usually are for a few dollars). Even buying books new is not that expensive in my opinion. When I go into B&N most of the books are priced from 10-25$.

@hollanovfever @uhbucky the Ottawa senators are almost always referred to as, “the Sens” so having the show use “the Cens” would essentially be using the same team name. They are homophones, which is why Rachel called them that in the book.
English
@uhbucky Senators and Centaurs aren’t even homophones 😩 Different syllables, different sounds. No way that could lead to legal trouble if they use the latter, right?
English
@totheverystart @uhbucky @candiesmp4 the Ottawa senators are almost always referred to as, “the Sens” so having the show use “Cens” would essentially be using the same team name
English
@uhbucky @candiesmp4 call me dumb but why couldn’t they use the name centaurs? there’s not an nhl team by that name, right?
English
Calling Indigenous people, “Indians.”

Whats something that society do/say that gives you the ick?
English
@rebelnearby fuck Vegas and fuck Carter Hart. Begging F1 teams to either do a simple google search or give 1 single fuck about women
English
@Igor_ekk @marzcedes Absolutely were not right. They panicked and blamed a teenager instead of taking responsibility. They also tweeted this DURING the race before the stewards even reviewed the incident. It was embarrassing.
English
@marzcedes They were right weren't they? They didnt write he did it on purpose, but GP and Marko both said Kimi just let Lando through
