Tim Pool - 'journalist' who claims to be a sensible centrist & sucks Sargon of Akkad's wiener; Afraid of the Milkshake ANTIFAs

[Retink]

I bounce back and forth between thinking Ian is a character actor or he just is the way he is (wouldn't be shocked since I've met a handful of people like that). Regardless I never found him hateable since despite saying a lot of stupid shit he seems like a pretty cool guy. Shame his role on the podcast is essentially the punching bag that Tim can bounce off of.

Ian strikes me as just being Ian and based on what people around him have said, like Adam, it seems like he's just a burnout that's a couple bad trips away from ending up in a nursing home.

The person I really don't get is Tim. Either Tim is just an idiot that embellishes himself because he thinks people will take him more seriously if he does so, or he's a complete fraud and is putting on a show to milk people for money. He's a big enough narcissist that I can see it going either way, where he just thinks he's super smart but believes what he believes, and I can also see he thinks he's so smart he can manipulate people and come out as a huge long term success. If it's the former he's harmless enough and I don't really hate him, if it's the latter he's just a piece of shit.

I push a little more towards him truly believing what he believes. He never came off as really acting with me and he does seem genuinely assmad when people call him out on his shit. If he was just pretending for money I feel like he'd have smoother ways of getting out of things (and not ending up in situation like the subverse lawsuit and the future Muse lawsuit).

Might be off topic but I wanna say I've been following this thread for a few months before I joined. It was a breath of fresh air to see people on the same page as me with Tim since the average discussion of him on say twitter is either far leftists having extremely retarded takes on him or "enlightened liberals" or right wingers sucking his cock.

Tim is both blessed and cursed to where his most notable detractors are more stupid than he is.

I had never heard of this guy until 2020. I did find some of his videos, the news stuff, interesting early on, but after a short time I noticed I can just go to the articles he is commentating on, and read them myself, without his takes.

Sometime later he launched his own site, good for him, but though it's been quite a while since I've looked at any of his newstakes, he still was referring to other sites for news to comment on.....

The talk show, sure, has some good guests, those with the balls to talk over him. That daughter of the, "Conan the Barbarian" director was the most recent show of his I watched. Granted, she was drunk, and that added to her.... POWER to speak, but, it was interesting, I'd say that much!

For the most part, I see his newstakes as just repeating others news, along with his own 2-sided takes. Seems to make him that money, though, so, if enough people flock to it, what can I say.

Myself, I don't give him the views as I did in 2020. He is an interesting character, but, getting stale, and I feel he should focus more on reading his own news, instead of other articles.

What gets me the most about it all, is how much of a following he has. I am wondering if he has a steady wave of people getting what he is doing, tuning out, and fresh moving in, and how much of it is just people who just wash onto it during a certain wave, and stay.

I could see that, and there's definitely something phony about Tim, it's just a question of how malicious he is about it. The big thing that makes me question him is how he can often times treat others around him, which could just be because he's dumb or something more. Then again I'm probably more suspicious of people after Chris Chan turned out to be way more malicious than many assumed, and not just the incest bit, but also because he was actively trying to manipulate people who were helping him like Null despite being easily proven to be lying.

That's something I really enjoy about here, and I think a lot of the people talking about Tim are former fans. I know I would casually visit the website a year or so before I made an account and wondered why Tim would have a thread. Then I started watching him more and realized he was way more of a sperg than can be assessed at first glance. Eventually his shit takes around the time of the RA episode ended up with me making an account on here.

That's really the take away from the Kiwi Farms, you don't have to hate someone to laugh and mock them when they're being retarded. A lot of people on here like Jordan Peterson, but he also does a lot of dumb shit that's funny. Then there are just shitheads like Boogie.

yeah the fact that everyone here is a former fan really does make the discussions much more engaging. I was a major fan til around early 2020. His coverage of COVID early on pissed me off cause while I was nervous about it at the time, he was massively fear mongering and taking every single headline he saw to the most insane conclusion possible. Then when he appeared on Joe Rogan a few months later I saw him go "Oh I was worried about COVID at first but I got over that" or some shit as if he wasn't pretty much calling it the end of days. From then on my interest in him slowly morphed from genuine enjoyment to hate watching, though at this point I haven't watched anything from him since the first "swatting" episode.

Funny thing about the RA situation is from that small clip going around I was actually on RA's side (granted I am a fan of his music so I had some bias towards him). Tim saying shit like "I'm fighting the fight" probably would've gotten me to flip out on his beanie ass too. Upon further viewing RA was making some terrible takes (takes that he's tripled down on ever since the incident). The guy who flipped out on your show triples down while Tim has his sister on a main segment episode to talk about his personal life. classic Tim

What brought me to some of Tim's, "news", was myself seeking out more information about the riots, burning, looting, etc going on. The livestreams from others were also good sources of information, i recall seeing the Kyle shit go down in real time! 2020 certain things were shut down, "COVID", so, I spent some time looking at shitty areas in the USA getting torn apart, when people were live-streaming it.

So, tuning into his stuff, I would never quite say i was a, "Fan", but, he was a bit new to me, but over time, seeing him develop his own site, still quote mostly other news sources, flip-flop on his takes, not practice what he preaches, go out and spend shitloads on booze and whatever else and record it for one of his other channels, it just gave me more of a full picture of him. He knows how to work people and places for money, respect. Myself, I got my fill, and on occasion, such as the Conan film's director's daughter being on a show and speaking her mind, just, I had my fill of his, "news". He did lead me to some good articles, but, if he's got his own website, he should be focusing a shitload more on that. How long has he had that site now? over a year? What does that site do, again? Fuck if I know.

Tim's brother talks about why the bomb squad was called in, he's a dubious source, but apparently you can order the post office to drop off packaging material at your house for free and someone did that as a prank. They weren't sure what it was, so they called in the police and the bomb squad came out to examine the container and supposedly blow it up to defuse the potential threat. I'm guessing they just called the compound people retards and moved on.

I never heard of RA and thought he was a wigger retard, still do. I was actually still watching Tim somewhat regularly back then but had to turn that episode off as I just thought it was shit. I saw the clip where Tim and RA chimp out, thought maybe Tim grew a spine, then he came out with a video sucking RA's dick and I just figured fuck him, how is he going to go out there and screech at others about being a coward only to come out and act like the biggest bitch imaginable. I think I even said if that was Jack Murphy, Tim would have kept screeching, and then a month later it turned out Jack Murphy was a cuck bitch, so that was funny but made Tim look way worse.

I didn't expect Tim to get into a internet shit fight over it, but he could have come out and just taken a neutral stance instead of praising RA the day after.

What exactly is the relationship between Tim and his brother at this point? Last time i heard they had a falling out cause Reactor wasn't doing anything at the house (so says Tim), but based on the Castcastle updates (thank you Retink for doing the lord's work) he seems to be living there. Doesn't Reactor have any account here too?

 

[rdrr]

I never heard of RA and thought he was a wigger retard, still do. I was actually still....

I noticed RA was a guest, but never watched it. I just saw the clips of RA getting upset and saying he's, "Not That Guy!", or whatever.

Myself, i knew of RA from his love of Basket Case, from Frank Henenlotter! Basket Case is the shit! Damn fine film, 'influenced' recently under the a film by the title of, "Malignant". Whomever RA is, he likes Basket Case, so, good for him, damn fine taste in film!


*edit - Also, looking at my original, "Basket Case" poster hanging on the wall, it was released by, "Rugged Films Inc.". No relationship to the guy, unless his parents were involved, but, yeah, just noticed that. From the Basket Case poster I have within view. Actually a pasted over paper decal at the bottom of the poster from whomever had distribution rights prior...

considering RA's dad is well known for being a Vietnam vet (something he mentioned in many songs) I doubt he had film connections. Shame the dude can't use his twitter to just talk about movies and music cause hes got good taste in those regards.

I frankly can't believe he still has so many people who take his word at gospel when if you watch his shit daily you'll find countless contradictions and cases of him not practicing what he preaches. Perhaps heard the same exact stories, examples and humble brags gives viewers short memories.

Never know with some folks! Tom Savini is a Vietnam Vet! lol.

Just mentioning it, in passing, since that poster is within eyesight of me. Still, he's the, "Rugged Man".

No idea about Rugged's tunes, all I know, is he has had damn fine taste in film, and has so, for a while. Basket Case is a damn fine film, and for a while was a staple of USA.... UP! All Night!

"That guy", Tim, he likes superhero movies, none of which I;'ve seen, except the first Spiderman movie Sam Raimi directed, so I could catch Bruce Campbell's cameo, and the Spider scene that was lifted from Lucio Fulci's, "The Beyond". It's alright, some people caught, "The Gift" so they could see Katie Holmes' breasteses. If I want to read some comics, I'll read Tales from the Crypt, Whisper, Somerset Holmes, Twisted Tales, etc....

At some point Reactor made Subverse or something, Tim decided to lay claim to it, they ended up in some retarded lawsuit with one another. Eventually Reactor came back and started Cast Castle as a show under Tim.

There was also a leak from Rocco where someone asks Tim about some bullshit trojan software in one of his websites and he mentions it's something his brother is doing while also calling his brother an absolute retard. The problem is Rocco is incredibly retarded and anything he puts out is probably doctored to some degree, and he hate's Chris for some reason (there are plenty of reasons to think Chris is a wigger, I just don't know why Rocco thinks this):

I didn't archive the audio Rocco leaked at the time as my shit was not cooperating, so here it is now for future reference.

With all the swattings and bomb threats, I wonder what the locals think of Tim and co.

Well we know at least one diner waitress who apparently can't stand the beanie lord.

 

[Escaped Abortion]

Tim's still going on about the restaurant not seating him, he's asking if diners ever take reservations and taking Michael Malice saying that he's never seen a New York diner take reservations as proof that diners never take reservations. It's a diner, they can do whatever the fuck they want and I'm sure if you called and asked them to hold a seat as a regular there, they'd probably work with you on that.

It's not exactly a reservation, but call ahead seating happened at the diners by me all the time. They were very popular for weekend breakfasts, so you could be added to the wait list by calling in. This let you get wait time credit while you finish getting ready and drive over. Depending on seat availability, they will also seat a large party ahead of a smaller one if one of their only large tables becomes available first. A party of Tim and his left hand might have to wait longer if he refused counter seating and all the smaller tables were taken. It's just less efficient otherwise to put a solo diner/pair at a table that seats six and make the party of six wait another hour.

Also, it was in a strip mall and the waiting area was quite small, so people would often step outside and go to a store for a bit during a 20 minute wait. Diners are rarely stand alone buildings not near anything else, I'd bet the one Tim stormed out of was no different. This was pointed out innumerable times, but Tim only responded to the idea of reservations because he can't concede any potential of being wrong and a self-absorbed twat who made a whiny scene at a restaurant and stormed away rather than asking what was up like an adult.

 

[Retink]

so people would often step outside and go to a store for a bit during a 20 minute wait.

That's an interesting point, I wonder how many places probably have some kind of "text when a table opens" in their POS now. It's probably easy enough to do these days that even diners can probably have it without much issue.

I remember pagers were a thing, so that's perfectly reasonable.

This. I've gone to quite a few places in my area where you just give them your number, then you can go stroll around and they text you when you're table is available.

That is true, I've done it to get free boxes. And it makes Tim look like an even bigger retard since the boxes arrive flat, stacked on top of each other, in clear plastic wrap. There's no way a bomb would fit inside.
