Hopefully I will never have to hear about Tim Pool and his stupid fucking beanie ever again.

Like what a transparently shallow fuckhead. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going bald, it happens to a ton of people. If you’re self conscious about it that’s understandable but for the love of fuck all don’t put a beanie on and wear it 100% of the time, even when it’s 99% humidity outside, and pretend like it’s your fucking brand or whatever. Just take that $100k an episode AND GO GET HAIR PLUGS YOU STUPID FUCK LOOK AT MUSKS HAIR WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU TIMMY.

I really, really, really hate Tim Poole.

It’s a MAGA secret, but Tim Pool’s beanie is also his nightly cumsock.

I hope he blew all that money on stuff like staff etc, believing it was all his efforts making it possible.

Why is he always wearing a meg beanie? Is he balding?

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 29 points 1 day ago

He claims it’s to hide his identity in public… as hilarious as that sounds

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Yeah, he’s bald. That might be it, or it might be something else. He gets REALLY upset if you knock off his beanie.

Tim Pool is a bald traitor. He is unhealthily insecure about his hairless scalp, even denying its existence while in full view. Frankly, he put more effort into hiding the top of his head than he did in hiding his ties to Russia. It’s okay to be bald. It’s not okay to be Tim Pool

That’s code for “I’m fleeing the country and moving to either an underground bunker or a one story home with no windows, so I don’t “accidentally” fall out of one.”

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No fucking way. His show can’t even sustain itself without hundreds of thousands of dollars from foreign agents? It’s a shitty fucking podcast.

[–] smokebuddy 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I constantly get/got ads on YouTube to subscribe to his show, one as recently as a couple of days ago, so the funding must have dried up very recently very quickly.

(I've also had full like hour long episodes of Louder with Crowder as a skippable pre-roll before, has to be being served to me purely by demographics because I don't watch that shit.)

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

With 30-some-odd staff, apparently, lol.

Seems to be happening a lot right now. Even on Lemmy.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago (5 children)

i haven’t been certain about whether there are foreign influence campaigns active on Lemmy, but their ripples are undeniably visible here. Particularly on the communist instances and the smattering of far right spaces.

[–] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 1 points 17 hours ago

There’s been a rash of new accounts posting right-wing garbage the last few weeks. I just block them.

I saw the headline before leaving work and a "Wouldn't it be glorious if it's Tim Pool?" thought popped into my head.

Fuck this bald traitor scum. May the offspring of a thousand fleas find refuge apon his genitals.

As I recall he went far right after meeting Laura Southern of the Canadian far right "Rebel News".

Which is also on the list as getting Russian cash.

At least he'll have plenty of time to spend with his wife and kids... which he doesn't have.
