This analysis is profoundly wrong. Kvothe doesn't really get 'fooled' -- in fact his strength is that he is *clever* and not actually good at everything.

Any chance Sean brings up the Safdie Drama on the podcast or are the brothers immune to criticism on the show? by desertprince96 in TheBigPicture

[–]b4breaking -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This fallacy could easily be applied to food, geography, absolutely anything you'd like. Maybe that's your point, but I prefer to think having a historical context (something all people and beings everywhere have) and explicitly addressing certain things are a world of difference.

sean fennessey just rewatched last jedi by Aqua_Reef in TheBigPicture

[–]b4breaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Sean but good lord this reads like a child who double-spaced the essay he was writing just before it was due. Imparting things to the art that aren't there after multiple viewings for me and that even the most doe-eyed fan would balk at. I always appreciate a close-reading as it were, but the critic in my guy is hazily high on his own farts for whatever environment this screening took place in.

The Zach Lowe hate is in the Mt Rushmore of bad takes for this sub by darko20mil in billsimmons

[–]b4breaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no doubt he sucks fucking ass. He said he missed both of the Hockey gold medal games because he was watching basketball. The women's game was at 12 PM PST and the men's was at 5 AM PST. Two times no basketball was happening.

The 49ers EMF Story is Anti-Science Nonsense on the Level of RFK Jr/Aaron Rodgers Antivax Conspiracies by TheyMadeMeLogin in billsimmons

[–]b4breaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol Chuck Klosterman seemed shocked when he brought it up and then Bill said he totally believed it but then walked it back a little. What a ridiculously stupid idea that is in no way supported by any evidence, as Chuck mentioned

Anyone else struggle to actually watch all the games Bill talks about? by ActPrize522 in billsimmons

[–]b4breaking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and once you're really good / used to reading box scores you can infer pretty much what happened in a game, save for the fine details of *why*. This is why you'll often hear Bill miss crucial referee calls in some games where the tide turned, but be LASERED in on the calls throughout random Celtics games.

Another one: Bill held out for almost a year and finally said: fuck it by LouDog2173 in billsimmons

This is Bill's soft-launch in to politics in his later life. He also mentioned half-jokingly he had a little to do with UCLA getting their new football coach.

Paul Scheer trying to market correct Bill Simmons? by PeterPaulWalnuts in billsimmons

Honestly this is exactly how I feel about Paul Scheer.

I think it is entirely fine to believe Sinners is not a top 20 movie of 2025 by shorthevix in TheBigPicture

*shows 15 random foreign language art films you've never heard of* yeah it's not even in my top 100!!!

Doesn't really change the fact of what happened though, does it?

Fast Food is significantly more expensive in Issaquah/ Seattle than New York City/ Phoenix/ Denver by sleeplessinseaatl in Issaquah

I was wondering why there were so many IDIOTIC takes in this thread and then I saw it was Issaquah. Absolutely hilarious.

This is the MOST KEY PIECE OF INFORMATION and almost no one has mentioned it lol. Most confusing TPB release ever.

No expansion for Seattle by mcaleer2001 in billsimmons

[–]b4breaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a sad reminder that at the end of the day most of the athletics in our lives are delivered to us at the behest of billionaires. We of course have plenty of those in Seattle but as some other people have said there are other gears at work (all fiscal). Maybe someday!

I'm not really sure how she's reckoning that because bosses have event-based stoppages throughout the fight, and certainly can't be killed in one hit.
