We mostly were following Rob tho so our knowledge of the stuff outside his immediate sphere is limited

Vinny, wtf does that response mean
unless someone wants to ask Rob directly, the only thing anyone can do is speculate or whatnot
"hey Rob, why do you think you fucked this specific thing up"
Like, don't go all schizo red string cork board type of thing, is what I mean
But things like "I wonder if this is what led to that" type of thing is whatever
here I'll rephrase
yes, ask literally whatever, we'll let you know what we know, and if there are any gaps someone else here probably knows
We have a pretty good track record of not creating serial killers
so it's probabbly fiiiinnneeee
We create trans here (against our will), serial killers none yet!
Toronto Canada
for both
Was he in toronto that far back
I know in an old tuna bandits episode Rob told some guy he ran into he lived in Kitchener
Him and Krysta moved from Buffalo ---> Toronto in 2009/2010
And I only remember that because I lived in Kitchener so Rob saying that stuck out to me in the mind palace
and Kitchener is just a Toronto suburb tbh, since they moved apartments every ~2 years it wouldn't surprise me if he lived there for a bit
*by the US definition of suburbs
A 1.5 hour drive is a US suburb?
yes appak
Okay
Yeah
I don't like that tbf
I think suburb is "within city limits, but not highrise apartment spam" that is how we use it
So just normal house rows
what it actually is is every small town "attaches" to the nearest major city
so you're in the ______ "market" you'd say

it's why I live in DC
despite living in another state
There are different cities next to Toronto which I would call a Toronto suburb, but thats because those cities only exist because people could not find a plce to live in Toronto
so they exist as commuter cities
I would count Missasuga, Oshuwa, etc since they are directly connected to Toronto
Kitchener has an hour of nothing but farmland between them
by Canadian definitions
Does the US have no major cities where there is another major city within an hour of it, and if no, do you consider those cities suburbs of eachother
we have those, and it's actually really easy
we combine the two
so you're in the Dallas-FortWorth (DFW) market
We combine cities if they are literally touching and merging, if there is an hour gap between them, thats insane
we call kitchener waterloo kitchener-waterloo (sometimes the tri-cities if you want to include cambridge)
I would combine what you posted the same way
since it is the same situation as kitchener waterloo
I meant, there is an hour of farmland between the two cities
would you consider them suburbs of eachother if there was a large boundary
it's rare for us to have two cities that close together
and then usually the area just gets it's own name
I see, than that makes sense I guess. Almost every Canadian city is withing 1 hour of another notable canadian city
so considering kitchener a suburb of toronto seems insane, because then every city is a suburb of another city
Kitchner is also just so much tinier
compared to Toronto
that's part of it too
Kitchener is huge by Canadian standards, Toronto is just also abnormally huge also by Canadian standards
I think kitchener is consistantly in the top 10 of city growth in Canada year over year
it's got 200,000 people
oh nvm
the tri-city has 600k
KW is like 700k yeah
Don't be crazy, heard. I had to go do something and did some thinking that I probably don't need to know a lot, really. Dont want to be parasocial. But if y'all know, is he doing better now nose sugar wise? Like, is he healthy? And I guess is he still an asshole? because I was a very casual viewer and did not know this.
Replying to Joseph Hazel #josephhazel Don't be crazy, heard. I had to go do something and did some thinking that I probably don't need to know a lot, really. Dont want to be parasocial.

As far as I can tell, I assume he is off drugs
considering he is not spiralling anymore
Hype
and has a real non internet job
I'm never going to hold "being an asshole" against anymore, for the most part he's the same he's always been
I agree with Pika he's dialed the drugs waaaayyyy back if not completely
2 months of forced rehab might have helped him get clean
he stopped taking his meds mind you
but stopping the hard drugs likely helped
I think part of the way his mental breakdown works though is if he has an army of people egging it on, that also makes it way worse
he purged almost all the insane people from his community
So all the weird "I am bungender refer to me as bun" and "I am scared of bathing so I have not bathed in 6 months" people are gone

I wrote this out in vetting chat a couple times
but Rob's struggle his entire life doing projects online has been the personal-professional boundaries
all the way back to his first project with Johnny
he couldn't co-mingle being friends with someone, and having them be a part of his projects
