I’m a newbie for sure (primo for months, never a timely enough listener to comment), but it’s been interesting to see what comments looks like and more so yet to read that they’re not the norm?

Welcome! I would say the Wednesday open threads are where people share more about their lives and general perspectives, whereas obviously the individual episode comment sections tends to be more about, you know, that individual episode.
Yeeeaaahhh. I feel so conflicted. The threads have been amazing but I agree, I think now that so many people have signed up for prime membership, it has gotten crowded and hostile.
But also. I dunno. For the last 3 months or so, Jesse's takes on things have really bothered me. No clue why as I disagree with Katie too, but her views or the way she expressed them does not annoy me
Katie can back up her beliefs somewhat, even if I don’t always agree with her. Jesse just seems puzzled by stuff that seems relatively asinine. That’s what annoys me, at least.
I think yeah, it is that she backs up her beliefs, even if I disagree. I am not sure Jesse's beliefs are asinine. I really do not know what it is because even when Katie talks about stupid shit, it doesn't annoy me. I gotta figure out why Jesse ja been annoying me.
Ok. It started with Keffles. I was so pissed off that two hours was wasted on that shit. All was good for months and months. Then the fucking pigeon wars started. That was when I actually started to get annoyed but not too bad. The first time I was genuinely pissed was the Citi Bike story, and mainly when in the next episode he was all I do not know why we are making a big deal about this. I got even more annoyed when he was like retail jobs suck I do not know why you would care if a store was being robbed. The circumcision story annoyed me even more -Like this is not internet bullshit.
Ah I hear what you mean. Yeah there’s a fine line between “dumb internet bullshit” and “why is this a podcast episode?” I probably skip 10% of episodes because I get 5 minutes in and realize, yeah I don’t need to know anything about this. I feel at times they could try harder. Though I suppose they are also limited by what’s happening in the world to a degree. When they’re good they’re great, and when they’re not so good it’s not worth my time.
Yeah the comments here are great but I’ve been a bit more vocal about Jessie sucking uncut knobs with his garbage takes recently so I wonder if people are such snowflakes that comments like that are considered mean or something.

Of things that Jesse says that have annoyed you of late. Just curious!

Is saying Jesse sucks wangs mean?
Is calling people snowflakes mean?
If so, I’m a real fucking asshole.
I mean, if we have to be honest, it's certainly not edifying........but if you don't harass people, I don't see why you couldn't say that.
I think you’re allowed to disagree with the hosts of our religion/podcast.
