[Not Who You Think]

Because Nick needs the disclaimer when he reads this, this is my speculative opinion:

From what I have seen of Nick, he seems to be a very shallow person who is able to understand and somewhat articulate that he 'does not like something', but much less capable at clearly stating why or coming up with a cogent rebuttal. We all here know, I am sure, that arguments on the internet are never really won (unless you have a sex tape or felony conviction come out post facto) and trolls will be trolls, so ignoring tosspots is required. Nick seems incapable of that, and further, he appears to lack any solid principled defence of his own actions and opinions. I am not the most articulate person myself, nor skilled in conveying my thoughts--hampered by autism and other flaws--, but I suppose this REALLY bothers Nick because he has billed himself as a great communicator and writer. The fact that he cannot get people to UNDERSTAND him is frustrating him.

Nick is indeed shallow, so it may follow that Nick's inarticulation is intentional since it doesn't give Nick's opposition anything to hold him accountable to. Nick largely focuses on his opinions over facts because he can disengage from criticism by either saying "this is just my opinion" or "you're just mad that I don't share your opinion".

Since everyone is entitled to their opinion on a given subject, it provides Nick with an opportunity to speak to anything without the accountability to facts or necessity of qualification on his part. Nick may then call the opposition names as well, but again, his assessment will be just his opinion and if they press him then Nick will frame it as "why do you care what I think?" or "why do you need my approval?" to stroke his own ego. This habitual means of discourse seems to be the foundation for his overconfidence in himself and why he looks down on others. Then, if Nick's opinion isn't well-received, he can always use the "it was a joke" defense.

Some of Nick's frustration comes from arguing his opinions as if they were fact. This tends to lead to frustration on both sides since Nick is too heavily invested in his (entitled) opinion to back down and any recognition of others opinions usually amounts to a dismissive "think what you want".

Also, Nick gets frustrated when people don't agree with him. PerceptionChek and Null are examples of individuals who have clearly demonstrated that they understand what Nick is saying and point to Nick's behavior and words as evidence for their position. Nick's constant lament/defense of "you can't change anyone's mind on anything" is most telling as to what he really wants. Nick doesn't want people to understand so much as he wants them to change.

Conversely, the frustration on the side of Nick's critics, or even well-intentioned friends, can stem from Nick arguing their facts as mere opinions.

Spoiler: Regarding "winning" on the Internet

Nick seems to accept the popular premise that he wins whenever he makes the opposition is mad. Accepting this premise means that, to not be a loser (let alone win), Nick has to never be mad and his haters always have to be mad. This factors into Nick's "I don't burn the bridge, THEY burn the bridge" which is similar to the objective of getting someone to block you so you can be the "winner". Unfortunately, this can lead to poor decision-making and profound emotional denial and repression (a.k.a. cope) as this adherence to the economy of hatred/madness seems to invariably both cultivate and aggravate mental illness.

Just doing things out of spite to induce hatred/madness in others is unhealthy. The result for Nick is that he can't afford to be honest with himself, let alone others, because then he would be an Internet loser. For examples, see how "not mad" Nick has been over the last year and how it has affected his behavior.

Keep in mind that anyone who accepts this premise puts themselves in a similar situation. Rather than pretending that being emotionally stunted is desirable, recommend instead practicing self-control in conjunction with being honest with one's emotions so they can be dealt with appropriately.

It's interesting to see that Nick is angrier at Josh (he made fun of Nick for wearing a baldo and said Nick had holes in his brain) than he was at Ralph (called his wife a "slatternly whore" and called his kids a "brood of retards" and wanted him disbarred). Like when Ralph and Nick were feuding Ralph would say the most horrendous shit about him and Nick would just say "lol you pooped yourself", but when Josh says Nick is an alcoholic Nick responds by calling Josh a pedophile, celebrates Russell suing the site, and seethes for several hours on Twitter.
I guess Nick cares about defending his alcoholism more than his own family.

Edit: remembered that he also said Josh should be put up against a wall when he called Josh a pedophile. He literally wants Josh to DIE NULL DIE

WHY WON'T YOU DIE MEDINULL!!!!

 

[AnOminous]

I think there's always gonna be a divide between Farmers who think Vic never stood a chance, and those who think he did but that Ty royally fucked everything up.

Short of directly accusing Ty of malpractice, the appeals panel could hardly have said he dun goofed any more clearly. Vic would have still been fighting uphill if it was to an actual malice standard, but he's very likable and I think would play well to a jury, whereas Soye, Marchi and Rial all come across as scumbags, Soye especially. Lemoine is also repulsive.

Still we're in the baleeeb all whammens era.

But even an ultimate loss at trial would be much like the caver called a "pedo guy" by Elon Musk: everyone would have known he did everything possible to clear his name. And note, the jury did not find he was actually a "pedo guy" or anything of the sort.

Nick seems to accept the popular premise that he wins whenever he makes the opposition is mad. Accepting this premise means that, to not be a loser (let alone win), Nick has to never be mad and his haters always have to be mad.

Hard to make this stick when you're ranting insanely and drunkenly, eyes bugging out of your head, dropping hard rs and shit for hours on end, etc. In fact it's completely autistic to think you're fooling anyone when you're visibly displaying extreme physical manifestations of rage.

It's one of the classic cow behaviors and it's also hilarious.

 

[Captain Manning]

rekieta claims he did not profit from the case. what was all that superchat money from? it was from the hype nick generated from the vic case. that is how he profited.

Yeah, if he said he didn't profit off of Vic (I dunno if he did... I'm just taking your word for it), he's being more than a bit disingenuous there.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have gotten any of the GFM money that went into the IOLTA account (I hope), but he absolutely made out like a bandit on superchats and other things. You simply can't do entire shows on the Vic case and then claim you go nothing out of it. Plus, Vic was the period where he set up the paid Discord that is now a ghosttown and there was a metric fuckton of people (many Kiwis) in there because of the Vic case.

To be clear and fair, I don't begrudge Nick profiting off of Vic in and of itself. Technically, Null makes money off other people's drama too.

What leaves a bad taste in my mouth, the more time goes on and I think about it, is that Nick saddled Vic with a lawyer he had easy access to, and could be a frequent guests on his show, and said lawyer turned out to be an incompetent retard. I have no reason to believe Nick intentionally screwed over Vic, and he might have genuinely felt Ty could handle things (I put the blame for this fiasco mainly at Ty's feet), but he was definitely a link in the chain of a events that led Vic to where he is now.

It was easy for him to dismiss Ralphs hollering though, even if any of what Ralph said was true, the fact it came not only from Ralph but was stated in his own unique rage pig way meant it was easier for Nick and his audience to brush it off as nothing more than Ralphs usual act.

When it comes to Null though, he's not screaming and hollering, or sperging out about Nick, he's simply laying out what he's seen documented and then having a genuine laugh about it. That kind of calm mockery is worse because while the likes of Ralphs raging will make people less likely to listen to him, genuine laughter is contagious and as we've all seen, more and more people are genuinely laughing at Nick.

Same advice as every lolcow gets and ignores: if you don't like being laughed at quit acting like an utter spasmoid.

If even a low IQ nigger is telling you to calm down, maybe you should calm down.

Hell, PPP even said it on one of their takedowns of Rekieta, who cares what some website says about you. By constantly bitching about the Farms, he's driving traffic to the Farms. For the not terminally retarded, it might be enough to pull the blinders off. Rekieta probably drove a lot of traffic to the Farms, if not from the lolsuit, then certainly the Vic Lasagna stuff and onward.

Don't listen to them Nick. Keep it up. You've got this!

Yes, but the consensus is that he is likely too much of a nice person to do so.

Nice guys finish last.

Nick stupidly torched that bridge.

He didn't just torch the bridge. He blew up the pylons and dredged the lake into a deep sea port.

i thought the vic lasagna case was paid by the go fund me. did vic pay money out of pocket? i figure the reason why vic was not mad at ty was because it really was not his money that was paid to attorney fees.

Partially but unlikely fully. And since he lost the Anti SLAAP he is going to have to pay all the defendant's legal fees which IIRC are going to be in the neighborhood of $300,000 to $500,000. Maybe more.

So Eric July’s spin off comic for his Rippaverse just started on preorders and the day isn’t even over yet and already it’s 500K, fantastic news Nick because you definitely absolutely totally wanted Eric to succeed.

How’s Vito the Pedo’s campaign going again Nick?

 

[Balldo's Gate]

I think Nick's apparel choice is an over-correction from his suit at the bowling alley. Swap the outfits at the events and both become much better. There's still critiques to be made but you'd sound a lot more like a catty gay/woman bringing them up.

I think Nick wants to stand out and present himself as better than everyone else at the event along some dimension by dressing in a different way.

Standup at a venue Ralph would have rejected for Kingpin for being too downscale? Suit.

Movie premiere where 99% of the other guests are wearing a suit? Weird leather jacket, and a studded belt from Hot Topic.

That said, I think if Nick had gone mask off, but kept up with the trial coverage, he probably would have been okay. He still would have alienated a lot of the Farms, but this site is hardly the final arbiter of success. After all, there are plenty of cows who are successful. He could have had a strong "true crime" audience. Even if said audience consisted predominantly of daytime TV wine moms.

Instead, he went mask-off, stopped the trial coverage, and now puts out garbage content. Look at the state of his fanbase now. Even the wine moms don't seem to care, and some of them have even become critics themselves.

IOW, I don't think the Farms is really even Nick's main problem. I think the repeatedly stupid decisions he has made is what's killing him. Even after Weebwars he was doing okay there for a while.

But hey, it's on-brand for this site to get blamed for everything bad that happens to an e-personality.

For some reason, Nick assumes that people are "mad" at him because the content of his show changed.

People are laughing, not mad, and they are laughing because Nick the new direction for his show was to go full-on midlife crisis lolcow to an extreme degree, to the point where it actually kind of defies parody.

I jokingly posted that the studded belt he had on for the movie premiere looked like it must have came from Hot Topic, and then I thought, "What the hell, let's check the website..." and wouldn't you know, a belt that looks the exact damn same was there!

There's also the other things, like buying a Mustang where (like Patrick) he appears to have quickly made it a key element of his personality, which he drove off the lot and into the ditch. Which also kind of defies parody.

If Nick didn't want to do any research for the night streams anymore, he could have just leaned into the trial streams. I don't think anyone would begrudge him for making that the centerpiece of his channel considering how much money he was making. Drop the frequency of the night streams to 3 times a week or whatever.

Instead, Nick has decided to try to find just how many "e-celeb lolcow" traits he can accumulate in one person. Which is impressive in a sense, I guess, but I don't think it's the best idea for his channel.

Delayed. Again. LOL.

Very CG of Vito. But hey, if you think about it, it does make sense for Nick to take the side that mostly sits on their ass, puts in the minimal amount of effort, and expects money to keep coming their way.

The rekieta segment on KC made me curious.

Anyone know if this page is legit? https://narcolepsynetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Narcolepsy-and-Driving-laws-12.28.pdf
Says here that if you say yes to certain questions about narcolepsy, you have to go under evaluation? Think Nick lied? He seems like the type to lie cause saying yes would be a hassle.

 

[jspit2.0]

Sure enough, he shouldn't have gotten any of the GFM money that went into the IOLTA account (I hope), but he absolutely made out like a bandit on superchats and other things. You simply can't do entire shows on the Vic case and then claim you go nothing out of it. Plus, Vic was the period where he set up the paid Discord that is now a ghosttown and there was a metric fuckton of people (many Kiwis) in there because of the Vic case.

To be clear and fair, I don't begrudge Nick profiting off of Vic in and of itself. Technically, Null makes money off other people's drama too.

The difference is Null is 1. not a lawyer and 2. doesn't insert himself into their serious legal problems. The analogous situation would be if Null inserted himself into the DSP situation, personally recommended a lawyer to DSP, said lawyer than hilarious bungled a winnable case, then Null after literally making a fortune just wandered off to the next big thing without a word.

I don't know about the USA but in the UK you'd be obliged to report your condition and the medication you were taking to the DCMA and they'd expect some kind of letter from your doctor to say that your ability to drive was not impaired.

They also have their own doctors who might take a different view to that of your prescribing doctor -- in which case your license is getting pulled anyway.

America is probably different though. They probably have a 97th Amendment to the constitution, guaranteeing people the right to drive while intoxicated.

https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/mo...s-could-get-you-fined-or-banned-from-driving/

Edit: On re-reading that PDF, the US system seems very similar to ours. I think Nick would be obliged to report. The issue isn't really about the loss of his licence. That's a PITA but it's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. The bigger issue is how, if he hasn't declared it to his insurers, it will invalidate his motor insurance.

If he ever ends up in a car accident and somebody else is catastrophically injured and he HASN'T declared his meds to his insurer, it'll render his insurance invalid. Insurers won't pay out and Nick will be on the hook for ALL of the damages. For a serious car accident, those costs can be life ruining -- even for someone as well off as Nick is.

On further reflection: I'd bet money Nick hasn't declared his meds to his insurers. Doing so would render insurance on that Mustang preposterously expensive. They aren't insuring people to drive a car that fast when you're on psychoactive medication of any kind for a moderate amount of money -- if at all.

I bet he's fucked up here. And if he does have a crash, the first thing his insurers will do is crawl all over his social media looking for reasons not to pay out.

If it is accurate, I'm going to hope that he didn't and it was something he dealt with back when he was more sober and possibly more responsible.

But if he did lie about everything like he claims he did? Then oh yeah the man didn't actually do it and just drives as a narcoleptic at risk of passing out on the road any day now.

 

[TherapyMan]

I will say that Nick himself hyped that that case would cost more than the GFM amount for thr motions and everything up to the depositions that were taken. He was pushing the fact that it was expensive and that the real monetary recovery would be from Funimation and Warner who had deeper pockets than MoRon and the redhead hambeast.

I got out of Nick's coverage of Weeb Wars early despite being really interested in the case, and this claim, along with Nick retaining Ty Beard, are why. I was an inexperienced lawyer at the time and didn't know Texas law, but I knew even then that there was a snowball's chance in hell of getting Funimation, and especially Warner, on the hook for anything. Having more civil defense experience under my belt now, I think that even if Ty Beard didn't fuck the case up by having no clue what he was doing and Vic had excellent counsel, Funi would still have almost certainly gotten out at summary judgment. The case against Funi was a longshot at best, but Nick made it sound like a surefire thing to undercover this vast lasagna conspiracy. Nick's constant hyping made me realize he wasn't someone who I could trust to give me good information about the case.

The best Vic could have hoped for with Funi is that they'd fold under the publicity pressure and give him some fuck off money because it'd cost more to tie up their in-house counsel on that bullshit than to pony up a settlement sum.

That being said, the case against Ron Toye in particular should have been such a slam dunk that the fact Vic couldn't even survive an anti-SLAPP challenge shows just how out of his element Ty was.
