Man, this whole "tax surprise" , renovation and $200 ska ticket (come on, any band established enough to charge that as the lowest price also has a singer whose voice is so shot to make it overpriced by at least 150%) saga has me thinking about the days when we thought Chris was the sensible Chipman Bro with a firm handle on his impulsiveness. How wrong we were
I am gonna go out on a limb and say that those tickets will get cheaper the closer to event date we get with unsold seats, especially at reduced venue capacities. Even before all this mandated distance, it was pretty easy to buy arena show tickets at 2 or 3 for 1 prices if the venue wasn't selling out (i.e., not in the year's top 10 concert acts) and you were willing to wait until the day of the show to purchase.
Also, the bill is a ska band, a punk band that apologizes for being drunk and fucking weezer. Those are all also excellent reasons not to go to a concert
I think Bob wouldn't inspire such visceral reactions if his Twitter wasn't a thing. There would be a lot of laughter over his content and none of the fury over his genocidal tendencies, but we'd also be missing out on all the tranny and Asian lesbian simping
Step one of planning any major undertaking (say a few thousand at once for someone in the middle class) is figuring out where the money to pay for it is coming from. An engineer missing this step is a sign that Chip will eventually inherit the lolcrown when diabetes has finally claimed Bob
It is like an engineer designing a machine with the presumption that energy is infinite and always readily available.

Bob's content is trash, but so are a bunch of semi to mega popular "influencers". He would be far more popular and well liked by people in general if twitter didn't exist thats for god damn sure. That alone would keep fans who would potentially just use him for background noise.
Honestly I used to watch Bob on Escapist before his first firing, and it was his tweets and blog posts after that event that turned me off him.
It's all about winning the "I have a more exciting/privileged life than you poor ass fuckers" dick measuring contests.
In my very cursory reads of capeshit, playing God is portrayed the traditional way. Superman deliberately refrains from enforcing his will on the world to avoid playing God, ozymandias is a fallen hero becoming the villain when he falls to the temptation, the wheelchair dude who created the doom patrol by arranging the accidents that created them is portrayed as very morally ambiguous (weird examples, but I didn't read a ton of this stuff). Most villains are seeking to Godplay, which is why those that aren't, like Joker, are the memorable ones. The timelines where the heroes fail to resist temptation are invariably portrayed as the bad timelines.
Duggars and Duck Dynasty are two different breeds of fundies. The Duck Dynasty folks are wealthy rednecks who hunt and who cultivate a sort of outdoorsman appearance to sell hunting equipment and shit and who do the work to blend in with normies, including the wealthy sports team players who are among their main patrons (several major baseball players are silent partners in the Duck Dynasty's various hunting gear companies).
For some major bands, the live experience is something you won't get from the live albums or videos. There isn't any home media that can approximate being in a stadium full of people where everyone is singing along to every song and having a blast
I involuntarily went to a MLB game a couple of weeks ago because my brother's wedding was coming up and my cousin had come from out of town and bought the tickets. Masks were required and this was in Florida.
OMFG, Bob unironically brings up "the singularity" as if he was freaking Chris Chan. What a sperg.
Autism is a helluva drug.
The thing is we don't even know if his finances actually are in disarray. He could just be e-begging for the sake of e-begging.
No. His other content is still complete crap. That includes his book, videos and his other writings. It would be more interesting to see if people would like Bob more if he didn't have Twitter. Or since so much damage has been done, if he never got a Twitter account in the first place.
I keep seeing people bring up Chris being an engineer, do we know where he got his degree and what kind of degree it was? I don't live in America but I'm guessing they have similar degrees to us, with a bunch of 4 year degrees for the specific disciplines like Mechanical and Electrical, and then they have a couple of 2 year degrees that are usually called something like "Engineering Sciences". The 2 year degrees aren't exactly easy, but they only require you to prove you can do some above highschool level algebra and maybe use some design software. They also only really qualify you to do stuff like filling out spreadsheets for engineering firms. I've always figured Chris did one of the 2 year degrees and throws it around like he graduated Harvard.
