Petty, Stupid Rant Incoming: About 2 months ago, the mother fucking Prophet of Hell World said I was being too negative.
No Stimulus Matt: "GOP will pass some more stimulus before the election." Me: "Probably not. A lot of the base doesn't want it and those that do won't change their vote if they don't get it." Matt: "WHAT DO YOU MEAANN THE BASE DOESN"T WANT IT!?! Everyone wants money and they need to win an election!"
He moved on to another topic. A minute later someone said something about Hurricanes tearing up the country. As someone that worked closely (till last month) with the NWS and emergency resource logistics for storm and disaster zones (east coast), keeping up with the upcoming storm activity was part of my job. We had been on full alert prior to the season trying to secure as many resources as possible, very difficult this year as you might expect, so we were working twice as hard this year in preparation for a very active hurricane season. Also, there's this global warming thing happening making storms much more frequent and destructive so...yeah, might want to factor that in as well.
So Matt downplays the hurricanes, I pipe in Me (chiming in): "Its forecasted to be an 'above average' year." Matt: "DAMN YOU KIDS ARE DOOMERS! BLACK PILLED! This guy and you all need to not be so doom and gloom. No wonder you are all so crazy."
Logged off after that. I got a feeling Bourge Matt is losing touch with the proletariat and the dangers of living in America.
It's dumb to be petty. Seriously, I know and I had almost forgotten about it untilI read the news about the GOP not offering anymore stimulus checks and the earliest 'R' named hurricane in history. Sorry, its bad news I shouldn't celebrate but the Prepper in me feels very vindicated.
Don't upvote this garbage. Hope everyone stays safe and I love (most) of you
I don't get what matt was wrong about.
Isn't there going to be another stimulus cheque? I thought that republicans and democrats already agreed about it and they're just arguing about the amount for dependants right now. I might be wrong about that. Is the problem that it might not happen before the election, and matt said it would happen before the election?
And about the hurricane thing, I remember it like jabrd does, but I guess we could find the twitch video and rewatch it with the chat to see what really happened.
Anyway, matt is always aware that he could be wrong, and these are predictions about the future so of course he's going to be wrong about stuff sometimes and have to touch poo. He's the prophet of doom but he's trying to stay more positive now and thinks that our only hope is acting like things can get better even if they can't.
I'd probably agree with your predictions more than matt's, but I think that matt is very worried about the same things as you and is just trying to be positive because he thinks we'll get a better outcome from that. Matt is, as far as I can tell, the chapo who cares the most about or at least talks the most about climate change. He uses it all of the time as the example of the biggest threat to humanity.
Matt said in his last stream that, whenever he yells at the chat, he's not actually yelling at the chat. He's yelling at his past self or parts of his current self that he's trying to change. I think this means that, since he yelled at you, he is worried about the same things as you and is trying to convince himself that thing can get better.
Give him another chance if you can! I've been yelled at for my questions too. As long as he's not yelling at you for gaslighting him about his sound/video quality, I think it's kind of a compliment for him to yell at you because it means he identifies with what you're saying. He argues with other chapos in the same way, so he's just treating you the same way he would treat, say, virgil.
The latest Senate draft of the stimulus bill does not include a check. While logically it would make sense for them to do another one to help with the election, they obviously don't give a fuck. It's been 5 weeks since the unemployment expansion expired and they don't seem concerned at all.
Damn...
They don't realize the stakes on the table, and by the time they do, it'll be too late.
Nah, he's got a few dollars in his account and is trying to preserve his mental state by being 'optimistic'. He's gone off the deep end being high off his own presumed intellect ever since the cushvlogs took off. He needs to get over hearing himself talk. He found and audience to listen to him talk and is contented in his reality now. He see's less need to agitate now that he is personally secure.
Yea. The bit about the number of named storms is made for headlines. It's true that were on record pace for number of named storms, but the ACE this season (which is a measure of cumulative energy of storms) is almost exactly average. So we've had lots of storms, but they have been weaker than average.
And there will be more stimulus. It's just a matter of time.
