[mennoknight]

I have everything on this phone. I always just look at it. If I ever feel weird at all, I’m just looking at it. A jousting game obviously

What are the incels saying about this?

Why does anyone do anything they might fail at?

I didn’t mean all people, just some people. Yet it seems like society has normalized this behavior and I honestly think its more common than ever. Smart phones fulling it.

This is Especially in hockey and wealthy circles. Being a POS is just par for the course.

Anyways this may have nothing to do with the fight. Yet I have seen very similar play out. Its not her fault for anything, its all on him to control himself at all times. He failed. Hope he gets all the help he needs.

All you f#$%^&*s that are "reading between the lines" are pathetic! Just f$%^&*g pathetic! If you have nothing better to do then speculate on something this serious that you know nothing about you need to get yourself lives.

All this thread was missing was a post from our favorite drunk uncle. It's got everything now. Time to shut it down.

Generally speaking, those younger than the Boomer generation struggle to be present for more than a few moments without distracting themselves with a device. There have to be long term side effects to the repeated cheap dopamine activation and the increased intolerance to living with anything but that. I often wonder if people who were traditionally not prone to addiction are developing that with their devices/SM.

Between reduced attention spans and long term cervical issues (how commonplace are neck humps going to be in the future?), there's probably bound to be down sides to constant immersion in something that we weren't evolutionary programmed for which will emerge in coming years/decades.

I have witnessed some interesting reactions from people to misplaced/lost/broken phones. I think too much of our lives/well-beings are tied up in these things.. what's worse is big companies are exploiting that dependence and in many ways its becoming the industry of the future.

Too long. Did not read.

Oh darn.. I knew it was too much.

I'll try to read the room better and hurl some low-brow insults, make a few unfounded judgments and label people incels.

I particularly enjoyed the one with the grown man humble bro bragging about copping some rebound favors from his friend's girl while she was emotionally distraught when he was 19 like a trophy he keeps in a display case in his mancave below the neon "tig ol' bitties" sign.

The kids having a sleep over is just a killer in the court for him now. That looks so bad, it's not even funny. The parents who let their kids stay at the NHL Bruins enforcer's home thinking it's safe is not a good look for Lucic. Brutal

For sum reason my attention span just isn't what it used

This isn't a court of law where we need to wait for all information to make a judgement. That's the court's job. This is internet forum CP. Basically saying, based on what I have learned from this situation, Lucic is a piece of ####. Don't need to wait and see how it plays out; dude is in a heap of trouble and can go #### himself. This likely isn't the first time it's happened either. I don't care about him getting help, but I sure hope his wife and kids do.

Honestly, I'm pretty shocked he didn't go on a rampage while living in Calgary (at least not publicly). I'm forever grateful for him playing a role in stopping the Canucks from winning the cup, but he always struck me as a complete psychopath who loves physically hurting people and enjoys way too much the power he has in him. Not trying to excuse him either, but wouldn't surprise me if CTE plays a role in this. I always cringed when I would see people clamoring for him to fight each night and getting pissed at him when he didn't. Asking an older player with hundreds of fights in his lifetime to chuck knuckles again...that might make us clap at our TVs for a few seconds, but it doesn't lead to anything good off the ice that his family has to deal with.

Hopefully his career is done, his wife and kids GTF away from him and he fades into obscurity. Good riddance.

What a roller coaster of a thread. I almost want to congratulate everybody regardless of how they contributed because this has been a true ride.

Phones are bad and our issues with distraction are not nothing, but nobody hits their wife because they have a really bad phone addiction.

[GioforPM]

Truth be told, I had heard at least one story about Lucic being seen out and about massively drunk (pre Flames). Never heard he was a mean one though.

Couldn't use that quote function for some reason.
