Such a precious little dog!

I absolutely love dogs with fur like that, always called them fur face dogs ๐Ÿ˜… I have a dog like that and his name is Ewok. His sole purpose in life is to get pets and love, as well as eat as much cheese as he's given. He's a living teddy bear and he's the best dog to ever exist โค๏ธ

Dog tax

Champing at the bit sounds dumb af tbh and I've never heard it before IRL compared to chomping.

"More hands make for less work. Pitter patter!"

Dropped two notches on my belt over the last 4 months and the one I'm on now is so annoying ๐Ÿ˜ญ Feels good to feel better about myself though.

Am Canadian, and absolutely not. As much as I hate murica, having the NHL be in both Canadian and murican cities is better for the game. Even Canadians that aren't into hockey are at least kind of aware of the big games and big names, same can't be said for murica. The more people that play the game and have a chance at making the big leagues, the better IMO.

That being said, I have a huge list of grievances with the NHL and I often see the sentiment of "best sport, worst league" among hockey fans and I agree with that completely. Refs are complete and utter trash, so is the department of player safety. The league is, IMO, quite corrupt and needs a top down reform to expel the old boys club from the top echelons of the league.

Hockey Canada itself as an organization is also extremely toxic and relies far too much on the old boys club as well. Just look at the sad state of Canadian goalies lately, we went from Price, Brodeur, Fleury, Luongo, Roy, etc to now having Binnington and Thompson as the Olympics goalies for Canada. Don't get me wrong they aren't bad, but it's a far cry from the prime days of Canada pumping out extremely high quality goalies consistently. Now were average at best, and other countries, including the US (๐Ÿคฎ) having much better goalies than us.

There's also the whole cost thing, hockey has become a rich persons sport. You don't stand a chance of making it to the big leagues unless you're either a generational talent like McDavid or Price, or you spend tens of thousands over the years on professional 1 on 1 coaching. I'm 32 and I had to quit playing organized hockey at 14 cause my parents couldn't afford to pay for the goalie gear and team fees etc and that was back in the mid 2000s. Shits only gotten worse since then.

If Canada wants to retain it's position as the dominant hockey nation, then there are a lot of hard changes that need to be made. How many future Price's, Crosby's and McDavid's have simply been priced out of the game and will never get the chance to be what they could've been?

My cats name is Chanelle, but I rarely call her that. Her nickname is kitty cat ribs the 2nd, but I usually call her either kitty or ribs. Back story behind the nickname is my best friend had a cat when we were kids, and when he'd annoy him he'd threaten to cook him up like a rack of baby back ribs, so we started calling him kitty cat ribs.

 
 

This game deserves GOTY status IMO. The combat, story, characters and soundtrack are absolutely top tier!

 

Three Body Problem (AKA Remembrance of Earth's Past) is an amazing trilogy BTW.

 

Yes, I do still browse reddit, mainly for hockey and some niche subs that aren't here yet. Once in a while I dip my toes into r/all to see the garbage that floats to the top and this one popped up today.

r/conspiracy has always been a shithole, but when I first saw this post I thought it was on a meme sub, but no, those morons actually believe this shit. Truly blows my mind how amazingly stupid a lot of people are.

If you feel like having some of your brain cells commit suicide you can read the comments here - https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1m6p3p6/octopuses_lived_before_dinosaurs_and_were/

If there's a better way to share a reddit post without giving them clicks let me know and I'll edit my link. I know I've seen it before but I don't remember what it was.

 

Hey everyone, with the upcoming closure of lemm.ee I just wanted to say thank you to all the admins and mods of all the comms on .ca, and users! You all are what helps to make this the best instance of Lemmy! Doing those jobs for free can't be easy (admins/mods), what with all the douchebags that tend to populate the internet and make life harder for normal people that just want to chill. I know I certainly wouldn't have the patience to mod even a small comm, let alone help to be an admin of an entire instance.

I tend not to post or comment to much, always been that way, but I've been here since July of 2023 and I browse daily. The stability of this instance is awesome and I have nothing but respect for the admins that make this possible. The mods of all the .ca comms, and awesome users in general really help to make this the greatest instance on Lemmy.

Thank you to everyone, regardless of whether you're an admin, a mod, or just an average user posting their hot takes, shit posts, memes, and great discussion material etc.

Long live lemmy.ca!

 

As in, what's the evolutionary reason for this? I can get seeing dogs as cute because they probably helped early humans by being "guards" essentially and they're just great companions in general, but what purpose does a cat have for example? All they want is food, and you get nothing in return except a cute cat to look at. Hell, even bear cubs are adorable and they'll eventually turn into something that can kill you with one swipe.

Why do we find animals that are or will grow into dangerous creatures cute? What reason does this serve?

 
 

I'm technically following the rule by posting but I refuse to put rule in the title.

I'm a badass like that ๐Ÿ˜Ž

 

One of the most damning videos I've seen about this. Just reply with this when you come across someone trying to defend this PoS. Fuck this sub-human scumbag.

 

I'M NOT STUPID ANYMOOOOOREE!!!!!!!!!!!
