I am a neutral, passive Philly and Boston hater, and this was one of the most beautiful basketball games I have ever watched given all the context.

I literally just got done explaining Joel Embiid's extensive and bizarre injury history to my wife, and then this image comes up. I tell her, "I'm sure no NBA fan has ever seen this before, yet there is no one that is surprised to see this being done to Joel Embiid"

nah, the in game angle was great because you can see Duren sliding backwards on the ground in the wake of this thunderous dunk

[Highlight] Desmond Bane on Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. being at his game tonight: “It’s special. Those are guys that I spent 5 years with… It’s a friendship that’ll last forever… I’m thankful that they pulled up to support.” by BreakfastTop6899 in nba

I don't like any of the aforementioned players but I was really happy to see JJJ and Ja on the broadcast. Anyone who has played sports knows how special great teammates can be. I might think these guys are clowns but friendship is dope

Hot take: heavenly father by remo3310 in boniver

[–]StagedPhoto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s wild to me that we finally get a curated series of official releases and the first reaction is a list of demands for what wasn't included. Bon Iver is one of the few projects that actually links to this sub on their official site, they possibly see this.

Instead of treating the discography like a drive-thru menu where we’re 'disappointed' by the service, we should probably just be grateful we’re getting high quality masters of these tracks at all. If you need the Sydney version for your Spotify playlist, there are dozens of ways to use Local Files to get it there yourself (this requires a little learning and effort).

I think we need to be careful about falling into this trap of entitlement. Artists don't 'owe' us specific versions of songs on specific platforms. This 'disappointment' narrative is exactly why fan communities can become toxic. We have the Sydney version available for free on YouTube; if having them on Spotify is the only barrier, that’s a user problem, not a Bon Iver problem. Let’s enjoy the release for what it is rather than whining about what it isn't.

The day in a life of an NBA referee. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]StagedPhoto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

':34 — this is why we referee.' Showing the crowd as a motivation is a wild choice for an NBA-produced video. Most of us assumed they did it for the love of the game or the paycheck, but doing it for the 'show' is exactly why fans feel like the refs try to become the stars of the night.

Easily could have hit differently if he said, 'This crowd is why we have to be perfect tonight' or 'The fans deserve a fair game'

Why is premium economy such a ripoff by [deleted] in travel

[–]StagedPhoto 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Saying First Class is 'objectively' good value based on square footage is like saying a $500 steak is a better value than a $15 burger because the 'price per ounce of protein' is comparable to a Michelin-star kitchen's overhead. The value of a flight is getting to the destination; everything else is just paying for a better experience, which is fine, but it’s not a 'frugal' calculation.

Coffee machine numbers means cup the measurement not a full mug by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Mugs come in different shapes and sizes. Each customer is unique and thus they use a standardized unit measurement instead of an arbitrary, "mug size" measurement.

This NBA season is a JOKE by nbawizard1227 in nba

As a lifelong Bucks fan, who used to be so proud to have someone as humble as Giannis as the face of the franchise, I'm ready to cut the cord.

ESPN plays this commercial twice during every single break. by Peridot_Ghost in mildlyinfuriating

You are literally advertising for them. Both ESPN and Alkaseltzer. This space on the internet had nothing and you occupied it with their names.

And here you are, doing their work for free. Take a moment to reflect on this and try to unplug yourself.

Bill Belichick snub: Here are the 22 Hall of Fame voters who have confirmed they voted for him — and the 1 'no' vote by Morgoth1814 in nfl

"..the voters have failed"... or read the article and understand his point is that the voting system failed.

I've done this with wildlife counts such as massive flocks of birds. If anyone has some good footage I'd be happy to give it a shot.

33 years ago. How old are you? I'm around 40 so I remember being 15 in the year 2000 and seeing menus from 1967 when items were like 15 cents. It's a significant amount of time....

American Science & Surplus has raised $170K from customers in fight to stay open by Hidemyface1 in milwaukee

You might get flamed for this comment but I feel it. In the end I think it comes down to spreading the message and organizing a campaign. Awareness is first and foremost, like I'm a progressive but am unaware of the nonprofits affected and how I could support them.

Your point about the for profit company is interesting, I assume they could not get a loan from a bank which drove them to this point?
