So general, but BASKETBALL

Loved it as a child, fell out of love, and now love it again <3 The games have been so fun this season and I love having fav players, watching my fav players, rooting for my teams. You can go to a bar and lose your mind with the general public!! You can make friends and enemies!! You can talk to your coworkers about “the game last night” !! I love you basketball.

lack of game-diversification, reffing/Flopping, sponsorship obsession

as an NBA fan of ~20 years, I’ll point out several things that irk me and probably irk the casual consumer to some degree: 1) The TNT crew is right when they complain about how the game has devolved due to the emphasis on three point attempts/analytics. Every team in the league emphasizes an almost identical offensive game plan now — at the expense of the creativity, originality, and improvisation that used to make teams unique and form identity. This makes for an oft-boring product to consume, especially for casual viewers. 2) Reffing across the league is atrocious, inconsistent, and often blatantly fixed. Why do the Lakers have the most free throw attempts (by a mile) each of the last four seasons (since LeBron arrived)? Why are players (see Andre Drummond/Victor last week) getting ejected for another player flopping and then reinstated into the game (without explanation)? Reffing is inconsistent, favors big markets/star players, and works hand-in-hand with flopping by the players to create a maddening and slow product on the court. 3) It’s hard not to notice and become annoyed with the increase in ads within the NBA over the past few years in particular. Whether it’s the jersey patches, court ads, or the basically unwatchable State Farm NBA All Star Weekend presented by Michelob and SKIMS. I could barely see the court during the In Season Tournament this year there were so many ads across it. These ads take away from the sense of game purity, and I feel like I’m watching a game show more than a sports game.

Broccoli

think about it... incredibly nutritious, more vitamin c than oranges (!!) widely available and affordable so easy to prepare, you can literally steam them in the microwave and delicious! esp when roasted, i linked an easy recipe :) plus they look like cute little trees and you can pretend that you're a brachiosaurus or some shit munching on them greens straight up goated vegetable

drinking landlord tears and knowing your rights as a tenant

I filed a complaint with a bunch of receipts to my city's rent board last month after my landlord notified me of another increase, and turns out she was in violation of increasing rent within 12 months following a previous rent increase The city just told my landlord to reimburse me the excess rent, and my current rent must remain in place until next March for her to be in compliance (she wanted to raise it another 10% in October lol)
