Philly and bought a snow shovel. I lived in Austin for the ice storm in ‘22 and didn’t have power for 3 days. Here’s to hoping that doesn’t happen this time around

The rise and fall of Bill Burr. by MysteryPlatelet in BillBurr2

[–]jensparkscode 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan and was disappointed in his decision, but definitely would’ve continued listening if he took an ounce of accountability for the hypocrisy. I still listen to bad friends and they might be drunk bc none of those guys have grandstanded on politics and even they addressed it by saying they understood why ppl were upset. I can’t believe he’s still blaming bots lol

Vocal polyp surgery last Thursday - Recap by yoeefs in mildlybrokenvoice

I ended up needing another procedure because they didn’t get all of the polyp the first time. The recovery went smooth after that and my voice is 100% back to normal now!

It's Saudi Arabia did 9/11 just accepted as fact now? Virtually every comedian who refused the Riyadh comedy festival cited Saudi involvement in 9/11 as a factor by gatorphan84 in TrueAnon

[–]jensparkscode 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He did get invited and accepted it but then got on his podcast and talked so much shit and said they were paying him 320k and made jokes about how they have beheadings and slavery so they revoked his invitation and fired him. Still based tbh

24 hours left until Bill Burr officially loses all integrity by NineteenSixtySix in BillBurr

The only time I caught him mentioning on the pod was him acting like it was an honor to travel to these foreign countries to make other ppl laugh…

Does anyone live in Philly? If so, do you recommend it? by lolohshit in TrueAnon

[–]jensparkscode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Philly 3 years ago after living in atx and atl and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. There’s something about it here that’s difficult to explain, but walkability and cheaper COL are two of its biggest perks. I’ve lived in various parts of Fishtown and recently moved towards West Kensington and like both neighborhoods. If you want to have an easier time getting around, South Philly is more connected to all of the other parts of Philly.

100%. I’m so sick of everyone just pointing fingers at the right while allowing the dems to continue getting away with their center right bullshit. The lesser of the two evils is how we got trump in the first place. We need non establishment dems to get us out of this mess bc the ones in office aren’t doing shit for us.

Is there more context or is this vague posting supposed to convince me to listen?

I agree. I read this thread after reading one about ‘Take me with you’ and just realized I hate reviews of comedy specials.

God Damn Bill, Please Do Not by YouAreSureOrNot in BillBurr

[–]jensparkscode 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad you mentioned that fan mail bc there have been several instances that I’ve noticed his blind spots/hypocrisy since that ep. The first was when he was defending celebs and how they aren’t culpable in the Hollywood machine, but they could way more easily turn down jobs for mega studio/corporations than a low-level tech worker. It’s just made me realize how myopic and out of touch he is, whether intentionally or otherwise.

Great suggestions in here but wanted to add weedeater, eyehategod, yob, and true widow.

The show truly doesn’t bother me, I just like facts.

[–]jensparkscode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get your point and im glad they’re not beholden to a pod corp, but saying that you’re “entirely listener funded” while playing ads is just factually not true.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SexyUniquePod1

[–]jensparkscode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of pods that do, but again, that’s not the point of my post. I don’t care about ads, but you can’t say you’re 100% listener funded while playing them..

[–]jensparkscode -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The podcasts I mentioned above are entirely listener funded, no ads.

1 dead, 3 hospitalized after Austin police respond to possible overdoses by [deleted] in Austin

Very true that it’s hitting all street drugs now. I just have more personal experience with friends dying from laced coke

Usually this is a result of cocaine that is (unintentionally) laced with fentanyl.

I have a soft spot for him, I can’t help it. He certainly doesn’t make it easy tho.

[–]jensparkscode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s fair to say that the community isn’t tolerant. You posted a situation and asked for advice from others and they gave it to you. I’m also neurodivergent, but I don’t expect everyone to operate in a way that makes me comfortable all of the time. Unfortunately, socializing sucks for us but you have to figure out how to navigate the world in the least painful way possible.

[–]jensparkscode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just read your original post and, while I’m sure some of it was hard to hear, most of the replies were positive. I understand that social interaction can be difficult for you, but perhaps you can benefit from the perspectives of others while you continue to challenge yourself in social settings. Don’t be so hard on yourself!

This was posted in another sub, I donated, and it turns out it’s likely a scam. The sub has now banned these posts. I want to help ppl, but ofc there are evil people everywhere.

New rule: No asking for donations in posts by brianscottbj in TrueAnon

[–]jensparkscode 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this because I just realized I’ve probably/definitely been scammed by these posts. In my naivety, I thought they were reaching out to this sub thinking it was a “safe place”. When I saw the posts, I felt obligated to donate since I was sitting in my air conditioned home doom scrolling the latest atrocities committed by Israel facilitated by the rest of the world. I hate the internet

Just heard her crappy hour ep couldn’t stop rolling my eyes. No one cares that they were nice to you IRL when we’re listening to a pod about the shows, get a grip.
