A lot of people on social media are acting like this boycott didn't work. It totally did. Love it or hate it, it worked.

I don't know how Corona did, but Bud Light does appear to be struggling. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/business/bud-light-sales.html

I've heard that cited in stories, usually older. A baby dies and they blame someone leaving the door open too long and letting in a draft.

Sounds like the Jazz FO got exactly who they wanted. Taylor and Keyonte were both in their top 10, and Brice in their top 18.

Should be a fun summer league. 🙌

The beatings will continue until morale improves. You WILL behave for the shareholders.

Pretty tame by addict standards.

It was probably the extreme surge in popularity. Sustaining hate for something so innocuous is difficult long-term, so people lost interest. My son and I started in season 2, and he still plays with his friends. It's a phenomenal social game.

That's my guess anyway.

He probably makes more than $180m from Jordan Brand in a year. Just crazy money.

Public transit is the slowest option everywhere I've lived(cities from 5k to 500k population).

Disturbed people, smelly people, loud music, unwelcome conversation, fights, and urine/food/filth on the seating has also made public transit a last resort for me.

Driving and all it's privileges is an absolute pleasure when you don't live in too big a city.

I agree. Missing 25 games as a professional player while your team either gels or struggles without you would be extremely difficult. If this isn't a wakeup call then 35 or 45 games wouldn't be either.

Blazers with Beal instead of CJ... Would be the same or worse, no?

20 year marriage. She died in front of 3 of their children in the car when hit by a driver on meth.

The highs and lows he's experienced in the last couple decades are pretty extreme. Heartbreaking.

It's far from perfect, but I'm taking a stand.

Half the reason I used Reddit was to cure boredom. I've decided to find other things to do. The other main reason I loved to check in was to make sure I don't miss big news. So far, Lemmy seems to scratch that itch. It'll take a long time for niche communities to establish, but I'll just deal with that for now. Maybe I'll just go back to some old forums for that purpose.
