Cheap af to live in and real moonshine that you can get from (admittedly) sketchy but cool old people. Sometimes no neighbors either. Not bad if you don’t care to have anything to do. lol
Yet another case of anime improving everything.
Anime was a mistake, it ruined Sleepless's aesthetic.
If he was smart he'd put a proper fence and guard booth where he has the shitty chain get now, and station one of his private guards he hires now to sit in there. The more legitimate and professional the place looks, the less likely the cops are to barge in.
Ian's great for buck breaking Tim randomly. Last week Tim reminded Ian about the time he told people how to make Mustard Gas on the show, showing how Tim holds a grudge and is still seething about something even King of the Hill did on national television.
Tim's just worried about getting on Youtube's bad side and losing money over it. Think about it, if his Youtube channel gets shut down he'll have to downsize, and how can you have employees to scream at if you don't have employees?
I haven't followed him very long nor very closely, but I get the impression that he'd be uniquely challenging compared to most normies, because he'd believe he's overall smarter than you and more knowledgeable about any given topic, and he'd only be half listening to you to begin with, just waiting for a place to interrupt you. ("Sure sure sure... Look look look... I used to work in a big media corporation...")
See, that's what I thought for a while too, but then he kept talking about his personal Marvel fanfics and how much he wants to see whatever capeshit that it became clear his whole "I just use it because it's relatable for normies" is just cope.
The Whites are from Boone county, way out in the hollow. I thought Tim lived up in the panhandle. While I don't know Tim's dox and haven't personally checked the area out, the panhandle is kind of a mashup of Maryland, DC, WV, and Virginia. There's a lot of wealthy suburbs on the state borders. Boone county is one of those places you don't end up there by accident, and its on the opposite side of the state as Tim. Even then, if the people of Boone county were anything but white, they'd be pitied. It's one of the poorest areas of the country and their problems are the direct result of federal government policies around energy and environmentalism. They brought in chemical companies that polluted the shit out of the area to the point where you can't eat fish from the rivers, then just packed up and left. 50 years ago, an uneducated hick could get a mailroom job at DuPont or Union Carbine and work their way into a high 5 figure/low 6 figure salary. Now, you might have to drive over an hour to get food from a chain grocery store.
If he loses his income, how do you expect him to build giant skate parks that no one can use in the middle of the Appalachian mountains?
Y'all, chat, whatever, simp on weird shit. The last almost full IRl from Tim I watched, was when Amanda Milius was on, the first time, and drank a shitload of the Liquor there and ran amok. I like to imagine she left a stinky shit in the toilet there, also, to prove a point. That's my girl.
The way Tim deals with Ian shows exactly why his Ye episode failed, Tim knows what Ian is like, he knows he rambles and comes out of left field all the time, but instead of listening to him and trying to clarify Ians point he just cuts across him as though he's incapable of taking in what Ian is saying.
Tim really needs to stop using buzzwords as it shows how much of a midwit he is. A Gish Gallop is not simply making a lot of points in one statement, it's a specific tactic where you make a rapid succession of points that aren't particularly true or valid and use those to discredit the other speaker by means of either putting their knowledge into question or sneaking in points to bring up later as if they accepted it as fact because they didn't address them at the time. It's basically a shotgun style of points where you're fishing for something to attack the other person on, not just stating a bunch of stuff. If you say "The sky is blue, the grass is green, and the birds are chirping." you aren't Gish Galloping, you're just making a bunch of observations, and really you stating a bunch of things at once as your opinion can't be Gish Galloping by its very nature as its your opinion and does not put into question the other person's knowledge or character.
Poor set up, good punchline.
Terms always get diluted, where gaslighting has gone from a play where a group of people work together to mess with things like lighting in a slow process to get someone to question their own sanity, to someone said something I think isn't true.
He's made a career of fence sitting to grift and gatekeep both sides, but when the subject of his handlers comes up he takes a side.
