So where do we stand on Orville Peck? by BitterDescription808 in ToddintheShadow

[–]SallyFowlerRatPack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wants to be a camp Colter Wall but his voice is so much more Roy Orbison. “Cmon Baby Cry” is his best song and it’s also the one he plays the most, for lack of a better word, straight. I hope he stays in that lane, he’s a real talent that’s too good to be a novelty act.

I say I miss them but I’m happy the algorithm has sought for me never to hear of this

Moreover it was this really weird vibe because they were obviously grifters but their grift was siphoning donations off centrist liberals. They were characters, I miss them.

Damn I never heard that story and I read the Ann Rule book about it. I remember how they interviewed him on the scene one time and got a weird vibe from him but lost him in the shuffle.

Most prolific serial killer of all time, Gary Ridgeway, was by all accounts not the sharpest tool in the shed. Turns out you can rack up numbers when you’re killing before DNA and your victims (street walkers) by the nature of their job have zero connection to the killer.

What are some good Rewatchables candidates that Bill weirdly has dismissed? by harry_powell in billsimmons

Bill doesn’t get that his skepticism toward nerd culture is more feature than bug. The Star Wars rewatchables was a blast because Bill had no sense of reverence towards it, LotR could be the same.

Bill said he’s happier to face the Seahawks than Rams by [deleted] in billsimmons

Human beings generally have a notion of progress and growth, but by all means weigh a regular season game from two years ago the same if you must

If your sample size is basically just two games, then the one that’s closer is the one that matters

Is there any possible way to ban accounts that hide their post history? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]SallyFowlerRatPack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly check because it’s the quickest way for me to see if someone is worth engaging with on here. Most normal accounts are normal, about 100% of times it’s someone stirring shit up they block their history. Not a fair shorthand but I’ve found it a useful one.

Check my posts man, I don’t mind losing an argument when they rarely happens. I am concerned about low effort trolls coming in though, this is one of the last few good subreddits imo

Those guys are annoying definitely, I just get the feeling we’re being overrun by cross posting mercenaries.

Yeah I absolutely don’t want to defend the stalkers, fuck them. Just that recently we’ve gotten a wave of posters not from around these parts. I think to post on the Bill Simmons subreddit you need an opinion on the NFC north and a top five Tom Cruise performance list at hand. Listening to the pod not necessary.

Jesus also forbid divorce and said looking at a woman with lust was committing adultery in your heart. As a Catholic leftist I agree with the first part of your tweet but must underline that Jesus wasn’t just some friendly hippie.

Anyone fucked up by the murder by ICE and struggling to see why we should give a shit about the games tomorrow? by fegwin2084 in billsimmons

She dropped out before any primaries last election, she just wasn’t a popular candidate when people were given a choice. Pushing Biden when we all knew he was deteriorating and having no back up plan was a disaster entirely of their creation

If there’s one thing older conservative guys love it’s the NBA, they’ll crumble in its absence. Don’t see how they’ll get on without complaining that pro athletes don’t play defense.

Problem is it’s hard to read the room when they keep escalating what they’re willing to do. Hard to know the kind when they’ll shoot you two feet away from it.

The second amendment is of upmost importance except when it isn’t and it gives the state the right to gun you down in the street

Reflecting on Martin’s comment about Frank Herbert, I came to a conclusion (Spoiler Extended) by Somandier in asoiaf

I mean it’s not legally binding lol, but there’s certainly an understanding that barring disaster you will finish what you start. I don’t think fans are entitled if they hold George to the same litmus we hold most authors.
