  • If Norway just created a Noble Prize, would he notice the difference? And if you surprised him with it in person, no one could ever point out that it wasn't the Nobel prize as trump can't stand to ever be wrong so he'd say that's the one he really wanted all along.

    Problem solved, someone can nominate me for the second Noble prize.

    A few hours before our preaseaon hopes and dreams encounter reality, how are we feeling?

  • So, I'm a filthy casual (this was the first game I've watched the entirety of on tv) so while I was happy about the win, I kept grinning when I thought about how stoked you must be.

    Anyway, hope you're still enjoying that "we won!" Post glow!

  • Yeah, that sounds wild. Ours were opt in programs with some testing etc. Coursework was hard but I still hardly had any for homework etc.

    Got to skip a few university classes as ours counted for them though which was useful. And yeah, the more I think about that grad class (decades ago now) the more impressed I am with what some of those folks went on to do.

  • Wild, maybe Canada does ours differently? I was in 2 different programs over the years but we still had lunch, free blocks and still shot the shit a bunch in class. And then sports and other extra curriculars too.

  • Ehhh, to each their own. I was in those classes, fully separated streams. No idea why you'd assume having a more interesting class would nix social development. (You can't learn to socialize if the teacher doesn't have to slow down?)

    Fully wide range of outcomes but a lot of the kids with the potential went and realized it. Sure, not all of us did but from my small circle one's on the second highest court in Canada, one's set up a reasonably famous company, one's a cardiac surgeon etc.

  • Did you mean to respond to another comment or did you completely miss the point?

    Edit: to put it more politely... The entire above point is that rhe evil of Israel's war does not change whether murdering and kidnapping civilians is wrong.

  • Kidnapping civilians is unequivocally bad regardless of whether we think the kidnapper is on the right side of history.

    Being unable to acknowledge the wrongs committed by those whom we support is pretty damn horrifying in my book. To see the same willfully ignorant "america/trump/the church can do no wrong" attitude but on the Left breaks my heart.
