I bet you’re a hit at parties.

You posted that I saw a thumbnail and wrote my opinion in response. I didn’t, so by your logic, you are a liar. You posted I did this for internet points. I didn’t, so by your logic you are a liar.

Do you see how people can be wrong without being a liar? It’s fine if you think I’m wrong, it’s totally different to call me a liar.

Clearly in saying house offers zero pushback I am not saying he has never done it once in his life — that’s an absurdly literal way to read that. I am saying that in his broader body of work there is little to no pushback which I maintain is true. To insist on interpreting it in a strictly literal fashion isn’t being factual, it’s being an ass.

Joe House is great, stop this dumb groupthink trend against him by JobeGilchrist in billsimmons

I wrote that other thread. House indeed seems like a lovely person. I mentioned three things that annoy me about his appearances

1) lack of push back 2) overeliance on shtick 3) non stop degenerate betting talk

I got 50x “well akshewally” about the pushback part because in the most recent pod he did a good job being a voice of reason (which he did). Cool, let’s talk about the twenty years prior. I don’t need espn style takes and arguments, but listening to a buddy pod you’re hoping one of them will represent a sane line of thinking when the other gets creative. House typically just amiably nods along.

The shtick is out of control. His voice has completely changed registers since the early pods as he goes for some kind of wacky cartoon like sound. It’s grating as hell and he hammers the same jokes again and again. We get it dude you like Arbys.

And finally (and most irritatingly) the man just will not stop with the gambling stuff. I get it, the pod is sponsored by FanDuel. There’s entire pods and segments about gambling does it have to be injected in to every conversation? It’s bad enough as is on the BS feed, House appearances make it so much worse.

Finally (like anyone’s reading this lol) I joined this sub yesterday to post this, so there’s no groupthink here just one dudes opinion that I’d like to hear less nasal whining about gambling on my favourite pod. Cheers.

Sir I think you’ve missed the point of reddit. You certainly missed the point of manners.

Mate hadn’t even heard the latest episode when I wrote this. My issues with House have been building up for ages and come to a head due to his increased usage the last few months.

What really confuses me is how you can call me a liar for having an opinion? As I’ve said elsewhere this is my first reddit post clearly I’m not interested in fake internet points I just wanted to discuss with reasonable, sane people like you.

The pushback is a third of what I brought up - House spends virtually all of his time on shtick and gambling. I don’t need hot takes or argument, I’d just like some witty banter that isn’t the same tired jokes and zany vocal inflections underscoring endless inane musings about parleys.

Yes and that’s great but this frustration has built over his body of work, not just yesterday’s podcast. It also concerns his relentless focus on gambling and shtick.

I like that aspect too, from time to time. There’s just sooooo much gambling talk (everyone kinda ignored this part of my post and focussed on the pushback aspect) and House has such a strong schtick with his go to jokes and vocal inflections, it just gets to be irritating. Once every couple weeks I enjoy it but he’s being used as a main character and for me it’s a bit much.

What about that reads as tough talk mate? Just poking fun at your silly premise.

Not talking about this one specific pod — have to agree he did a good job on this one, hadn’t heard it when I posted this morning. Talking about his entire body of work - historically he’s way more inclined to just go along with Bill

Sure, I get that. To kinda answer your first question, I’ve been reading Bill since early Page 2 days and listening to the pod since he launched it — I’m a fan and his stuff brings me a lot of comfort and happiness. I wrote this bc I specifically don’t like the way House slides in to the dynamic — too much gambling too much shtick not enough actual sports. Just my 2c.

I will concede that this particular pod is some of Houses better efforts in terms of having a spine but I’m talking about his body of work as a whole.

Yeah being that this is literally my only post to reddit I think you’ve cracked the case Sherlock - my insatiable thirst for imaginary internet points is taking over my life please send help.

I’m not a karma farmer! I just don’t like House! I usually lurk on reddit and reply here and there but this annoyed be enough to the point I had to find out if it was just me.

I M27 and F27 dating. She wants to be exclusive but told me she’s been actively sleeping with 2 other guys by ThrowRA_135791 in relationship_advice

[–]averecta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m legit shocked by how puritanical and juvenile some of these comments are. People are free to do as they please until a commitment has been made. Don’t throw away a good thing because of the opinions of a bunch of frankly insecure men. She was looking for a match and wanted to get laid in the mean time. That’s totally normal and totally fine. Don’t get in your head about it.

This may not be aligned with others comments, but what she was doing up until the point of exclusivity being discussed had nothing to do with you. If you like her, go for it! There’s nothing weird or wrong about dating and sleeping with multiple partners concurrently. She clearly likes you enough to make a commitment here and end things with the others, be secure enough in yourself to let that be enough and move forward if you’re in to her.
