Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.

      Oh. My. God. Can fucking apps learn that when I say “block” and “less like this” I fucking mean it? Don’t show me fucking anything about baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, and especially not American football. I AM NOT YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE.

      Also, I have to block a large fraction of my social feeds at certain times of the year because all they talk about are sports.

        I had a few years when the ad algorithms decided since I am in my 20’s surely I’m a parent, then just bombarded me with diaper ads no matter how much I blocked. I wonder if they found some tidbit of info about you that is common among sports fans.

      I spent >10 years of my youth playing a sport competitively. I don’t think I ever watched a professional game to completion. Unlike pretty much all my teammates, I just could not have cared less.

      Play the sport myself? Fun, sure! Watch someone else play? Uh, why?

      I think it’s great that people enjoy watching sports. I dunno why but it just bored the hell out of me.
