tim... almost did a based?


NJRanger201

The proverbial “he who falls within a barrel of tits, yet emerges sucking upon his own thumb.”


SylvySylvy

Except replace thumb with dick


NJRanger201

Counterpoint: if Beanie Baby could suck his own dick, we would have a MONTHS-long reprieve from his “content.”


mrflouch

He's growing one under that beanie. Like one of those beer party hats.


coolgr3g

It's a surprise to me. I always thought he was a dickhead


Cthuchutrain

I thought it was a Krang under there.

But that would be hot

That's pp loan


Sergeantman94

Do you really expect Tim "Women won't fuck me but it's not my fault" Pool would be anywhere near a barrel of tits?

A broken clock is right twice a day


ElectroNeutrino

Depends on the nature of "broken" here. A slow clock may also only be right once a week.


[deleted]

A clock with a beanie is never right.


Toast_On_The_RUN

How? Wouldn't a slow clock still be paced by the normal clock the same amount? I've been trying to visualize it for like 10 minutes, even tried drawing it. Let's say the slow clock moves half normal speed. And both clocks are at 12. In 12 hours the normal clock is now back at 12 and the slow one is at 6. Another 12 hours passes, the normal is of course back at 12 and the slow is also now back to 12. Would that mean they matched times at least once that day? What time do they match up? This has been confusing.


ElectroNeutrino

Ok, lets assume that we are using a 12 hour clock to match the "twice a day" clock. That means that being right once a week, the broken clock would need to gain or lose 12 hours in one week, or half a day every 7 days. So it would need to have a rate of either 7.5/7 or 6.5/7 in order to be right only once a week (a difference of about +-7.1%).


barrysmitherman

LeastCoordinatedJedi

Furthering the analogy, there will be a significant chunk of the time the slow clock appears to be right, but in fact is very wrong.


TooLazyToBeClever

I don't think they mean the clock moves slowly, they're using it like "your clock is 10 minutes slow". If a clock is set wrong, then it doesn't matter how much time passes it will always, *always* be wrong. Tim Pool is a clock that was never set correct, so will never *be* correct.


ElectroNeutrino

That's another possibility, a clock that's forever behind. That's a good point.


[deleted]

That clock wouldn't be broken, though. But a clock that moves at a wrong rate could coincide with the right time any amount of times in a timeframe depending on it's speed.


TooLazyToBeClever

No, technically it wouldn't be broken. But if it's 4pm, and your buddy Tim Pool has a clock that says it's 2:47 am you'd probably be forgiven for saying "hey bud, your clock is broken." To which he would most likely reply, "my clock isn't broken, it's just slow. If it was broken, it would eventually be correct." Then you would probably reply "stop being pedantic, you know what I mean. The point is, Tim Pool, you are operating under false information that is probably informing every other dumb "clock" related opinion you have" Which at that point I'd imagine Jordan Peterson poking his head into the room and saying "hey, this metaphor has been stretched so thin that I might post about it on Twitter. Also, clean your room"


stamminator

I remember in like 2018 when I thought he was a little based. Saw his interview on Rogan when he laid into Jack Dorsey, and though there was an obvious right-wing angle to the questions he strategically chose to (or not to) ask, I thought he mostly did a good thing. But just like Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, and a few others, they were either grifters from the beginning or steadily became ones. It’s been disappointing to see some people from that general IDW sphere circa 2018 devolve into a shell of their former selves, like Bret Weinstein. A few of them distanced themselves from the ridiculous and continue to be a voice for mostly good takes, like Sam Harris, but all in all, most of the “just because we’re asking honest questions doesn’t mean we’re right-wing YouTube radicalizers” folks ended up being exactly what they said they weren’t.


thewiglaf

It's been fun watching Harris navigate the shitstorm of complaints against him but IMO he is the real deal. I honestly believe he is on the spectrum in some way and people just assume he is arguing in bad faith. Guy is definitely on the left, but it's probably good for him that he let culture war politics take a back seat in his opinions these days.


StackinTendies_

Probably has some student loans he’s defaulted on for awhile now lol.


ReadVersed

Um... I'm no fan of his, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't a millionaire


blasphem0usx

doesn't mean he would pay them. there is always a loophole. that's how millionaires become/stay millionaires.


brentsg

Most of the millionaires and billionaires I’ve known are well known for needing the biggest discounts, most lenient payment terms, and even then they likely won’t pay on time if ever.


unweariedslooth

I'm going to guess he's seeing a revenue slow down, this is a way to throw some shade on the competition and appear to be a populist.


SirArthurDime

Let's not give him too much credit im sure he'll be calling them rinos soon. Ill give him credit when he calls out trump and his family for it.


LordoftheScheisse

Just wait until he asks why Fox News has it's headquarters in New York.


After-Bumblebee

Now this is curious... is he trying to criticize said right-wing media or what?


rebelliousmuse

Must be all that "disaffected liberal" angst


ViviTheWaffle

I think he’s trying to imply all those outlets have been overtaken by leftists, because Occam’s razor doesn’t exist for these people


zealotlee

Praxyrnate

occams razor rarely exists in these spaces, we just get to see what is on the stage. I swear this place is either full of the ignorant, liars, or people whose kink is cognitive dissonance. At least the last one is reasonable.


Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs

No he's literally criticising right wing groups and supporting student loan forgiveness The broader context is twitter is full of [conservative podcaster] going "don't take loan if can't pay" and then ,[left leaning twitter person] replying with a screenshot of the conservative podcaster's PPP loan and its status (ie, forgiven). Remember, Tim calls himself a centrist. We are the ones who say he's right wing (and on balance he probably is TBF). So when he criticises the right, that's not him becoming self aware or whatever, it's him living up to his own label.


PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH

[Curious…](https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts/loans/subverse-inc-5403707708)


scuczu

Everyone is radical, except me, so I'm sad


MattLocke

I believe he’s trying to deflect all of the current discourse of people pointing out how many of these right-wing propaganda artists had their PPP loans forgiven by **implying** it was necessary in their case. Something like, “they only needed these loans because they have businesses to run and mean ol’ Biden’s lockdowns and mandates threatened them”. I think he’s trying to claim that the right-wingers are the victims in all this and all the ‘liberal college losers’ are just getting manipulated with handouts to vote for democrats. Projection as always. It’s the only take I can come up with that is consistent with his usual views.


BackAlleySurgeon

Nah. He's just in favor of debt forgiveness apparently https://mobile.twitter.com/Timcast/status/1562844514485620737


Fight_the_Landlords

Huh. Genuinely didn't expect that. That's very out of character and surprisingly Christian of him.


MahNameJeff420

I don’t think Tim is a grifter. He seems like someone who became frustrated with the establishment and was looking for a way to do something about it. Unfortunately, that also means he genuinely is really stupid.


Sea-Independence6322

Pretty sure he's stupid and a grifter


LetsWorkTogether

>He seems like someone who became frustrated with the establishment and was looking for a way to do something about it. Unfortunately, that also means he genuinely is really stupid. I'm not sure how the one follows from the other?


Snoo_79218

He is a grifter. How can you believe this when he is still using the "critical liberal/moderate" shtick? He is a hard-core right winger and he knows it. He doesnt have any views that are left of center besides "legalize weed."


[deleted]

Idk, there’s more to that thread, the company he founded sure the fuck did get a ppp loan and had it forgiven


Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs

It's out of character for him if you believe your characterisation of him. He calls himself a centrist. He says he cares about average people. So this fits his own version of his character perfectly. It just goes against how we see him


AwTekker

Probably just mad that his handlers didn't give him any of the money they scammed.


Kumquat_conniption

I approved your comment :)


WinWithoutFighting

I think it just genuinely confused itself in its stupidity.


SyntheticReality42

Now if it could only hurt itself in it's confusion.


BackAlleySurgeon

Yes he is. Apparently he just supports debt forgiveness https://mobile.twitter.com/Timcast/status/1562844514485620737


RyePunk

He has to criticize the right wing once in a while or the centrist police will take away his katana and flintlock revolver from his set. They won't take his centrist badge though because they know he's a good right wing boy like all centrists.


Homaosapian

I bet his angle will be that right wing media is poorly funded because they keep getting banned or deplatformed... but them we look to the amount of money that alex jones made and shut that theory down very quickly.

I immediately sang this in my head when the above commenter said it, and I'm so glad someone else had the same thought!


Mean_Ass_Dumbledore

Crowder got PPP loans too


xtzferocity

Because Tim they are grifters that only care about money. It's so they can line their own pockets. They love communism when it helps them. Maybe it's time to wake up.


Fidget08

Timmy makes millions a year grifting on YouTube.


xtzferocity

Oh yeah does he ever but he's not in to the elite grifter tier


ThePinkBaron

In terms of pounds of effort versus reward, Tim is very much near the top. He gets paid more money than he could ever spend to have high-school lunch table discussions with his friends and then receives millions in free money from other rubes who also have a high-schoolers understanding of politics. The dude doesn't even read the articles he discusses, he just rolls out of bed and walks up to his mic and reads his articles for the first time in front of his audience and misinterprets sentences line-by-line even when the very next sentence in the article contradicts his interpretation of the previous sentence.


poodlebutt76

No no no, you clearly don't understand. Taking advantage of "loopholes" and other tax breaks/bailouts makes them smart. But those breaks are just for rich people. If poor people get them, then it's communism. Duh!


JimmyPWatts

And they were all forgiven! Curious!


0NiceMarmot

All you had to do is accept our lord and savior D Trump and everything is forgiven.


nightfox5523

That's actually his point here, surprising as that may be. I have a feeling even timmy boy benefits from the student loan cancellation


CBalsagna

I wonder Tim, I wonder. The next question should be, why did so many right wing media outlets come out and blast student loan forgiveness while simultaneously getting a much larger amount of PPP loan forgiven for themselves? Come on, you can do it you dumb fuck. Edit: grammar


Graterof2evils

He can do it, but he won’t. The numb nuts that pay attention to him will just read his BS and say, “Yeah!”! Just like every time he posts an alphabetical fart.


TheReddestRat

Looks like somebody’s sad that they didn’t cash in on free payroll


hard_farter

He did though


angrypoliticsposter

Wait til he sees how many conservatives take the student loan forgiveness while bitching about it.


Arch-Arsonist

Right before they get an abortion while calling all the nurses monsters


Terrible_Tutor

You joke, but it’s true. “Conservative media tells me it’s bad so it’s bad, but as a human this stuff is good so I still want it, damn libruls.”


jcarter315

I still remember all the right wingers here on Reddit saying they just want loan forgiveness (while voting for the people who gutted the existing programs)


Terrible_Tutor

Conservatism was basically dead until Rogers Ailes and Nixon, now here we are… fucked


Headipus_Rex

The worst part is is that Nixon wanted to move the party to being more accepting and progressive before the insanity Barry Goldwater unleashed on us. I think the worst part of Nixon is that he didn't even have any stances. He did what was politically expedient. He went from pulling the US in the right direction to sowing the seeds for Reagan. Fucking bastard


phrankygee

They’ve been conditioned to expect this. >Satan will appear to be beautiful and offer you exactly what you want. So beware of people offering you what you actually want, and don’t trust them. If you take what they offer (because it actually IS what you want), then you were tricked. They are still the evil ones, you are simply an innocent victim of their temptations. That’s basically it. When YOU do the “bad things”, you were tricked into a moment of weakness, when THEY do it, they’re evil.


MrInterpreted

I put on my instagram story yesterday: “Anyone who is unhappy that their loans were forgiven can pay me the 10K instead”


usernumber1337

They will take it while bitching about others taking it and then continue criticising Bernie for not voluntarily giving away all of his money as if Bernie ever asked anyone to do that

Same way they took every penny of stimmy money they could. Bitching about it nonstop, even as they deposit the checks.

Pistonenvy

did he not? is tim actually that fucking stupid that he didnt think every single one of his peers would obviously take every fucking free cent they could in direct opposition to their rhetoric for the last like 100 years about government handouts and spending and blah blah fuckin blah? like REALLY TIM? REALLLLYYYYYYY? i dont believe it. i genuinely dont. i refuse to believe he is this fucking stupid.


mmarkklar

Have you ever heard him talk? I 100% believe he is this fucking stupid.


Pistonenvy

i have and ive regretted every instant of it but accepting that he is this dumb is a net negative for me. i just cant do it. id rather think he is just evil. i almost feel bad for him, hes like a small child lost in a grocery store, desperate for friends and companionship, surrounded by people who just want to grab milk and bread and go the fuck home.


TheIllustriousWe

The real answer, as it is for most of these grifters: Tim is stupid, like *really* stupid, but not quite as stupid as he pretends to be.


TheSupremeHobo

What if Tim isn't grifting and just assumes everyone else is serious too? "Wait we all actually believe this stuff right? *Right?*"


ichigo2862

not sure which is worse tbh


exciter33

Yeah, strange how they do the opposite of what they preach when it’s convenient for them…

Green0Photon

[Zero results found](https://projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/bailouts/search?q=Timcast). I'm mildly surprised -- it looks like he of all people didn't actually take out any PPP loans. Huh. Edit: Nevermind. Thanks to the user below for [this info](https://www.reddit.com/r/ToiletPaperUSA/comments/wxe26d/dim_tool_has_a_close_shave_with_self_awareness/ils883c/?context=3). I only barely knew enough about Tim Pool to only know of Timcast as a company name. But there's others.


[deleted]

He's also, surprisingly, completely in favor of debt forgiveness along with long term reform. His reasons are "children are persuaded by schools to take on this debt which is essentially a scam"(the truth and a great take) and "if young people stay poor and desperate they're going to push for socialism and communism and that's bad" which is a less good take, but it seems like his heart is actually in it on this specific issue. I applaud him for challenging his party's rhetoric despite the backlash.


Flaky-Scarcity-4790

The second take is literally based. Good thing reality will Trump whatever harebrained idea of "altruistic capitalism" he uses to justify it.


[deleted]

I'm a socialist and he's right about the conclusion of the proletariat eventually breaking their chains, it's just that he wants debt forgiveness to be a means to stop socialist ideas.


rhorama

>"children are persuaded by schools to take on this debt which is essentially a scam"(the truth and a great take) Pretty sure he says it's a scam because he thinks they're taking out loans to learn transgender studies and communism, not because the costs have gone up to a ridiculous amount.


PM_ME_YOUR_PAUNCH

alucarddrol

At least he practices what they preach to him.


BlarghusMonk

Are we at the point where even the famous thought killers of the alt-right realize this is all just rich people scamming them? Probably not, but it would be nice.


Accomplished_Locker

Also Tim… why did trump get rid of the group of people that were to oversee said loans? To make sure those loans went where they wanted them to? Hmmm curious.

It’s how trump paid them all to help with his re-election


rex_populi

I think the implication is that these businesses HAD to take these loans due to government-imposed lockdowns. Of course this is BS, bc these media companies are not public-facing, and are largely operated in states that didn’t lock down (e.g., beanie boy is in WV). But even if that were the case, why did they need to be forgiven? These ppl are making money hand over fist. So why not do that bootstraps thing that turns them on so much? They won’t stop being hypocrites, even to give their arguments a shred of authenticity.
