Unpopular opiniom but I genuinely believe Emil is better written than Lloyd

WOW!! Super triggered response there. Okaaay, Dee doesn't have to run everything by Sue. She independently makes her own decisions- right. Even tho by her own admission she talks to Sue every day and probably asks her input, and probably DOES give it weight, and probably DOES want to get one more ring than her. She's a pretty competitive person, right? Whatever. She still has no business being on the '24 roster. None. Just like Lebron doesn't. Just like Melo doesn't. Just like Carli Lloyd shouldn't have gone to last Olympics, just like Pinoe will get flak for going to the upcoming WC. It's a rare, unique athlete that can maintain that form for 20+ years. They have plenty of players who can show the youngins the ropes. She should gracefully bow out. And you're absolutely right- male players don't ever get saddled with the same parenting stresses that female athletes do- in any kind of profession really. It's not fair, and the narrative around it should change. But the point remains- her kids are little- don't you want to be as present as you can be? It's not like she's 9 years into her career- she's almost 20. JJ Watt just retired very early from the NFL to be a full time dad to his newborn- it matters that they're around. It's clear you're not a parent. The early years go quick, and you can't get them back. This seems to me like a situation where she's afraid to retire bc of what's on the other side. Whatever- we can agree to disagree. This clearly is a hill you're willing to die on! Diana Taurasi forever!!!

You're clearly triggered that Cheryl Reeve invited DT to a team USA minicamp because you're insecure about Sue's GOAT status. But that's not how Sue, DT, or the USA basketball committee feel about the sport.

DT and Sue are friends. They text each other every day to make fart jokes and dingleberry jokes. Their friendship is toilet humor, alcohol, and UConn. It's a great friendship and they have a lot of fun with it. But they're not married to each other and they're not each others' agents. Their lives don't revolve around each other. They're just good friends.

DT said she consults her family and her agent about her decision to play each year. She's also talked about how she wants her kids to remember seeing her play. That's a sentiment a lot of other moms in the league express as well. DT's kids are young but they spend the entire summer at the arena. She's really only separated from them during away games.

Still lamenting on episode 13 of Yashahime.

You know what really gets my goat and is making this show less and less attractive (besides the complete absence of plot): the lack of communication.

Like, there are plenty of things in Inuyasha that could have been resolved with a little more asking of the right questions, but none of them were essential plot points. How did Inuyasha’s mother die? Who knows but also not essential. And the question is asked, just never really answered.

And even the questions that are essential but go unanswered are asked: kikyo, why are you helping Naraku? She doesn’t lay out her plot but at least it’s fucking asked.

This shit tho. If they are looking for the butterfly and Setsuna’s memories why isn’t Towa asking people shit? Miroku acted like they were old homies, like him and setsuna go way back. But after they save him they just bounce. Why didn’t Towa ask, hey how do you know each other? Why isn’t she asking Kohaku and Hisui how she wound up demon hunting?

The whole purpose is to string viewers along with the mystery of what happened to inukag and who the mom is and imma clown, I’m not going to lie, but the writing is atrocious. When all questions are answered I’ll rewatch and enjoy. I love setsuna, she’s such an asshole. I love Towa and her idealistic manner that she got from having a perfect life. I’d take a bullet for Moroha. I even like riku so far. The characterization is good.

Everything else is terrible.

Please excuse me while I watch Jujutsu Kaisen because this 70’s Christopher Lloyd looking Dalmatian print motherfucker and Great Value Kakashi would never abandon their son. (Just repeatedly expose him to horrible trauma)
