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

99% of the time they are 3d printed in resin and hand painted. The most laborious part of the process is the 3d modeling. If it's 28mm scale, then there's probably $2-$5 of materials involved depending on the quality of the resin used.

Is it exceptionally difficult to sculpt for the 3D printing? Using material cost alone isn't a great metric, you'd want to add time to design and paint as well, but if it's printed the design time should be distributed by number of expected sales to reduce price and increase interest.

I have no idea if hand painting makes the price worth it, but I think the dude would really benefit from having someone sit down and flesh out whatever business model he has in mind before Tim blindly gives them a promotion like that, as right now it just makes the dude look bad when it could have easily been a huge win for him due to Tim's audience size. I will say it's nice of Tim to promote random people, but execution needs work.

I am very confused. I have been inundated with months and months of journoscum propaganda saying that advertisers were leaving Twitter and the number of Twitter users was going down. Why would Twitter suddenly start paying people thousands and tens of thousands of dollars to do something they were all doing for free anyway?

My guess is that it's a marketing stunt but maybe Musk managed to turn it around to the point that he can do that.

journos were saying mastodon was gonna replace Twitter but abandoned it when they realized the people who run it don't want to give journos all their demands

The best part of Mastodon was them joining it and everyone from commies to Nazis shitting on journos and then them being amazed that a free platform with minimal censorship treated them as they should be treated. Twitter is still a very sanitized version of the Internet where people like Rekieta's friends can get people banned for offending them at the drop of a hat.

It is a bit of a long story, but Elon Musk has been attempting to court more advertisers to return to the platform, over the last few months.

In particular, he hired Linda Yaccarino, that has experience in the advertising industry, to take his position as chief executive officer of Twitter in June.

(Archived Article)

In April, Yaccarino had interviewed Musk over the challenges in luring advertisers to Twitter, after his recent loosening of the leash on speech, after his takeover. Musk would reiterate that free speech is still his paramount goal, in the interview:

Yaccarino came with her own problematic baggage, from working with the World Economic Forum:

To being pro-vaccine mandate & mask mandate:

However, just yesterday, Musk admits to Twitter being at negative cash flow, & still has 50% fewer advertisers than when he took over:

& it is worth noting that the payouts to creators is on a limited scale, to selected individuals. Some Twitter users have applied for monetisation, but are still not getting anything:

(Archive)

Much like with YouTube, I am predicting a precipitous fall in payouts, as the program is expanded, along with a dual response of moderating views to retain ad revenue, &/or posting bait tweets to drive engagement to elevate their numbers for larger ad money payouts.
For example, I am seeing a lot more Twitter users posting questions, & "meme/photo checkpoints" requesting people engage with it, as of late. This is circumstantial evidence, of course, but an example of what may be most profitable.
My recommendation is to not expect to make a career out of Twitter posting, unless you are engaging in bot farming or life-ending levels of terminal online-ness.

This overweight beanie lunatic has the audacity to claim he works out a lot, and then mention skating. Not gonna even bother with his culinary habits, I see them on his face.

There's just something that especially pisses me off about a private company telling you to give them money to "fight the commies" "stop woke culture" "protect your freedom of speech" etc etc

You can get 3D models designed by people for $30-$50 if you know where to look and who to ask.
You can also get them for several hundred dollars. Depends really but yeah maybe 10 years ago it was harder? But Zbrush and other tools are so powerful now its a lot easier for artists.

I'd say the 3D printer is the biggest investment.

Nothing says "Fighting the woke."
Like buying a cheap generic coffee Tim bought into that slapped his name on the carton and gives him a cut of the sales.
Tim's compound will build another skate rink to really show it to the commies.

When will Tim Pool release another song for his audience to win over the youth who are into dril rap and vtubers?

I'm always amazed how people don't realize that all of the youtubers shilling coffee don't actually own their own factory/company like they claim just from how many there are and how commonly it's offered as merch.

 

[Solomon Bundy]

When will Tim Pool release another song for his audience to win over the youth who are into dril rap and vtubers?

I hope soon. I hope he finds inspiration and puts out a concept album, like Kiss' Songs of the Elder. Every song he's ever wanted to publish, in a double album with liner notes filled with Easter eggs. The type of project Tim Pool would believe should be in a time capsule or sent into deep space.

I'm just really proud of Tim for finally getting his bottom surgery this week. I'm so excited for him to finally get the bonus hole he's always dreamt of. Live your truth, Tim!

But really, I'm looking forward to a week of IRL without Tim. Seamus is a much better host.

 

[JamesWebbSlinger]

When the Tim is away, the Seamus shall play. Host, that is.
Libby Emmons, the editor-in-chief of "The Post Millennial", was the guest.
Hannah & Ian were the co-hosts.

Altogether, a far better outing than the usual Tim talks. Seamus did not delve into religion nearly as much as in the previous episode where he hosted. Each person, including the guest, got a wide berth to discuss & explain their points.

They covered a wide variety of topics, such as the recent kerfuffle over RFK Jr., whether pedophiles can be rehabilitated, or prevented from offending, student debt forgiveness, etc.

Clip Collection:
-Seamus explains Tim needed to be sent out to pasture after he developed that bum hip:

-Ian is cultivating mass for his music video role:

Bonus Bits:
-Ian asks what to do when your "partner" is yelling at you, & it only creates a cycle of worsening arguments. Seamus says to imprison such people & completely break it off. What could they mean by this...?:

-Tim chose the perfect week to take off, because the DeSantis supporters are on an AI-generated content spree.
This one is mostly innocent, as it is a simple photoshop job, with only minor ghoulification to Laura Loomer's face & humorous edits:

Tim did rise from the MRI machine, to pen this tweet:

& to respond to the Never Back Down PAC, a pro-DeSantis grass roots organisation, using an AI-generated Trump voice to narrate a Truth Social post he made:

Seamus hosting is so far so good. Not only does he do Tim's plugs in record time, he makes sure the guests talk plenty more than the others. I'm noticing Seamus doesn't shut down Ian when he rambles too. Unlike Tim who believes in "freezez peech" but is so quick to tell him he's wrong/retarded then trigger a pointless back-and-forth. bible thumping aside, he's an improvement.

I watched yesterdays episode and it was much nicer. Especially as it didn't have the Tim's imagination segment where he derails the conversation for five minutes to talk about how cool it would be if Donald Trump built an Iron Man suit and fought DeSantis who was riding Megatron or some other dumb shit.

oh God, when tim does those "imagine this/what if" derailments it reminds me of righties giving their 1000th "imagine if the roles were reversed" whiny statement. Kind of taking the "IRL" from Timcast when he does that. Or maybe just the L.

At least cuckservatives are pointing out the hypocrisy. Tim brings up Marvel references because he has nothing to add to the conversation.

The most annoying part about it for me is it's always the same and it's always capeshit or how his friend is going to be the owner of the world or something. It adds nothing to the show and it always derails an actually interesting conversation.

On Monday’s episode Libby said that there was no difference between a mastectomy and “top surgery” aka breast reduction/removal. This is false. A mastectomy is a rigorous medical procedure that removes all breast tissue to prevent recurrence of cancer. Breast reduction/removal is cosmetic and often leaves residual breast tissue. This is why ftm trans still need to get regular breast exams just like any other woman.
