"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

Now more than ever @The President of Nintendo's song adapted by @part timer is relevant.

Josh Moon - The Stream Is Cancelled

[Verse]
I'm upset because everything is fucking arbitrary. There's no real human beings involved in any of this shit. It's just nameless, faceless fucking reet ards pressing buttons to kill accounts, kill websites, kill entire datacenters and T1 internet connections.
I also really enjoy this insistence that I'm upset about one particular thing and nothing else. There's nothing else in my life going on and there's only one thing that annoys me.

[Chorus]
I'm not in a good mood and I don't feel like it.
People will do everything possible to fuck with literally anything I enjoy.
I am completely overwhelmed right now with how absolutely insufferable the average person is.
I think I'd be happier if you ate shit and died.

[Verse]
I really don't care anymore. Oh man I really enjoy fighting for muh internet freedums so that the most violently retarded faggots on the planet can talk even more. I can't wait to see what hot takes about child sects, forced marriage and impregnation, and japanese cartoons everyone would have if we had TRUE freedumbs. I really want to see a timeline full of jews coping about how starving children to death is actually based. I really need to be informed by retarded boomers that actually we were the good guys and it's heckin disrespectful to our heckin troops to say otherwise.

[Chorus]
I'm not in a good mood and I don't feel like it.
People will do everything possible to fuck with literally anything I enjoy.
I am completely overwhelmed right now with how absolutely insufferable the average person is.
I think I'd be happier if you ate shit and died.

[Verse]
NOBODY CARES! You can tell people the truth over and over again but if you're like Ron Paul and try to be Independent it doesn't work. You have to join a team, wear the right color tie, never punch right, and tell the good boys that they're totally cool and hip for impregnating a bunch of retarded whores with male-only test-tube babies that grow up to troon out and hate them.

[Chorus]
I'm not in a good mood and I don't feel like it.
People will do everything possible to fuck with literally anything I enjoy.
I am completely overwhelmed right now with how absolutely insufferable the average person is.
I think I'd be happier if you ate shit and died.

[Outro]
I think I'd be happier if you ate shit and died.
 
Great stream today Josh.:tomgirl:

When you talked abiut drive by wire, it reminded me of the pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen, an X-Files spin off. In it they find out there was a plot to kill one of the guys dad because he found plans about using the same tech to control planes. The target was the twin towers. Show aired in March 2001. Just reminded me of it is all.
 
I'm actually furious, I had to leave my old place ad set up again and they said they had highspeed but I am convinced they either just lied or they're throttling. I don't have a place to mount, I already packed up, I'm ready to go, I'm just waiting for my ticket. At this point I just want to fucking take off but I had a good thing going, we hit over 4000 during the election, that momentum actually stuck, and now it's just squandered. Every time I get a good thing going it just fucking falls apart in my hands.
Trump's inauguration is the 20th and odds are there will be a good amount of chimping out. Get clips together of the freakouts between 11/5 and 1/20 to fill dead air and stream the inauguration freakouts and riots live. It's no election night but it could be a good "event stream" to build that viewership back up after the hiatus.

Hey man don't worry. Once you're back stateside it'll be the year of MATI. Fiber connection all day every day, symmetric. You'll have more bandwith than you'll know what to do with

Josh is in a doomer grumpy mood so he won't listen to any suggestion, but ever since the chingchong virus was a thing lots of alternatives to having to work at home came into existence.

Just like in every major city, the Internet cafés, working spaces and even some regular cafes have adapted to the demand and offer exactly what you need, which is an isolated space with stable Internet and electricity in which you could plug in your laptop and your microphone and do your stream without any issue.

Consider that he streams either 6PM or *midnight* local time, those might be closed or close to closing time

Bro I am so blackpilled on the Internet situation
What if you'd stream from a remote desktop on some server with a stable connection? That way most of the bandwith *you'd* need would be download as everything would play/stream from a server somewhere god-knows-where, and the only upload you'd need would be a couple of kilobits to stream audio to that server. I know I know it's fucking cumbersome, but it's a much better shot at streaming than what you have right now. I think a basic bitch windows VM somewhere plus a MS RDP client is all you'd need. Hell I could even hook you up if neither you nor crunklord want to get your hands dirty with it

@Null youve said a few times you run the audio version of the podcast through some processing when done. What exactly do you do to it or run it through?

@Null here's my idea.

Kiwi-themed Yule log. Crackling fire, kiwis in Santa hats and slobbermutt. Christmas music mixed with lolcow classics like the Reshiram song. Message on the screen to send in superchats which you will read and react to in a local recording. Leave it running for 3 hours, who cares if the stream gets interrupted since you're not saying anything to get interrupted. Release the recording halfway through December to give people their MATI fix and maintain audience continuity.
 
maintain audience continuity.
Only real way to do this with actual effect is to maintain a regular weekly show, whether it is prerecorded or not; I listen to the previous day’s MATI on the way to work, if there’s nothing then I just find something else to listen to instead I imagine most people are the same. There will obviously be a core audience that will tune back in when streams resume but a bunch will just fall off due to finding something else to fill their time slot
 
This is just the human condition though
Yeah it is. I don't claim to have any special insight into the Slobbermutt Psyche and I didn't create the Josh Cycle™ to display any such insight.
I made it to be insulting because it amused me, and because it seemed more fun than writing a bunch of gay platitudes about how everything will get better and there's no need to cope and seethe over a minor setback.
