  • Self-Sufficient Me fell into this category for me. Tons of very relaxing videos about growing fruit and vegetables at home… Then COVID hit and he started talking about “prepping” and “Doomsday” in every video. Didn’t work for me anymore after that.

    I must have moved on before the prepping and doomsday stuff, because I totally watched him to, for a long time. I checked out and moved on cause, I dont know, he started feeling preachy and sanctimonious? like, I cant put my finger on a specific example as to where, how or why, so it could have very well just been in my head, but it kinda pushed me away from watching his content after that.



  • Should try out InRangeTV.

    As for why? Let me post the first thing you see on their website.

    "InRange is a media and community building project that is actively anti-racist, pro human liberation and LGBTQ+ rights. We cover firearms, history, and the sociological impact of these topics with a focus on empathy and humanity. We produce content on modern firearms, historical firearms, competition, training, education, and the social impacts of firearms, the good and the bad. "

    He has never fought to preserve a bridge with bigoted, hate spreading assholes. In fact, he burns them like Sherman, and makes sure the public sees it in all its ugliness and glory.





  • its nvidia and AI creating a bubble on the belief they’ll be able to get profit and get out before it pops.

    But all it is… is imaginary money going around in circles. nvidia invests a trillion in AI, AI buys a trillion dollars of nvidia videocards from some nebulous point in the future where they arent made yet, nvidia invests that trillion back into AI, AI uses it to buy ridiculous amounts of ram that wont be made for years, RAM invests it back into AI, and on and on they go, generating imaginary money and value, by buying imaginary things.

    under a sane government this would be investigated as raw stock manipulation and fraud

    I really hope when this bubble pops nvidia is destroyed in the process along with the AI companies.






  • Oh I dont recall fully, so don’t take what I’m about to say as facts…

    But I believe the “official” reason was that InRange was taking up time Ian needed to travel to do episodes for Forgotten Weapons.

    and I believe the unofficial reason was something to do with the company that originally made and sold the What Would Stoner Do AR for them, And how they ended up outing themselves as assholes for using like…right wing dog whistles and antiLGBT things for discount codes, Which Karl has zero issue calling out on, but Ian was more interested in avoiding making a public stance on any of it and risking being political, and causing any harm to his relationship with that company. So Ian parted ways and, if I recall, has had zero interaction with InRange since.

    Again, I reiterate, its been a while since i last brushed up on it, and I may have details wrong, so do not take this as hard and true fact.
