Hefford was a key part of that amazing wave of players that represented Canada so well - it's wild now that people are catching up to these numbers.

Nobody wants to hear that, but it's the correct take. Not sure at all if, say, a 35 year old Tyler Myers fits the bill, but that's the thoughtline here. Carrier was better than Barron, but we need someone better than Carrier.

Point is: no matter where you land, simply take a moment to consider the *why* & *whom* in your opposition, and how well your words & actions align, and then own it personally rather than making excuses & wearing opposition like a badge against your fellow normal humans

Taking swings at, e.g. time-pressed & underfunded school teachers for generating cute animal slides for the classroom... incredibly lame yet it's here in my TL

I'm not onside with the fascist use of this tech or its egregiously criminal dipshit salesbros, and extremely concerned by the **further** enshittification of our digital spaces, but lordy summa y'all should take a breather to examine your current positions vs your fellow normal humans

So now. We only bitch about tech that steals art & misleads us, okay Horse?

Two things that definitely, certainly never happened over IP4 in our lifetimes, is that your take???

I went pro at the dawn of the WWW, and can only imagine this level of perseverating about the ecological footprint of web servers, banner ads & AOL dial-up.

None of which the world needed & all of which looks kinda regrettable today
