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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I've got a TV tuner and an antenna, so I can record local broadcast TV. I can get a few channels from DC, but mostly just Baltimore stuff.

I wish I could get Philly stuff because I hear Philly local TV is fucking hilarious, but gay ass Wilmington, Delaware (Delaware being the worst, most useless state) is in the way.

Anyway, I recorded this late night tv commercial last night. It's Chris Hansen (yes, that Chris Hansen) hawking a buyer's guide on boner pills.

View attachment 6962573
It's not just there, its everywhere on broadcast TV. It's just boner pills, pills to make you poop better, pills for your depression. Medicare plans, 1800 Got Gold.. Term Life insurance...etc etc
They have completely accepted that no one but old boomers watch broadcast TV now.
 
They are scraped in absence of the business being smart and updating the place where like 60-90% of new customers will get their directions to their business, or a guide updating it.
It's not always negligence. In my experience it can be bizarrely difficult for a business to keep the information on their Google Maps entry accurate if whatever Google algorithm insists on fucking it up.

I've only ever seen it be weird like that for road closures, but I think that has more to do with someone who has pull trying to avoid traffic being routed through their street. I've updated hours in the past and my experience has been it's pretty easy and quick, my occam's razor would be closing staff may be less honest than the owner would like to think, and frustrated would be customers are changing it/flagging it. Which again sucks but is part of running a business and not really the platform's problem.

Google insists that my office shares an address with another business that doesn't and never has existed, and they will not get rid of it.

I enjoy bojack for the most part and despise being the le media literacy guy but i find it almost inconceivable anyone could actually watch the show and in any way end up thinking bojack is anything other than one of worst pieces of shit possible. The crux of the entire story is that even without all his vices and despite the little progress bojack gets to being better he at his fundamental core is a broken horrible person who will destroy every thing around him. Even with the flaws that come with that format of have the serious drama beginning and ending of every season sandwiching a season wacky comedy hijinks it always clear in that bojack is irredeemable and the show is more about understand him than sympathizing with him.
Show still has alot of bullshit especially in the later seasons like Aaron Paul being asexual for some fucking reason and basically everything surrounding Diana and it especially has trouble balancing its fun comedy with its dark depressing drama, I still like it since so much of the comedy is just fun wordplay but with how people describe the show I understand why people don't even know it's a comedy at all.
I watched until the end, but it was as a hatewatch the moment they went anti-White in S06|E06; this was a chunk of dialogue delivered by Todd's stepfather:
...but I should have realized: you're White.

Todd was written as the optimistic innocent archetypal fool in a universe replete with many other very different "white" characters, and he was obviously working class. This episode came out during the BLM riots, while businesses & homes owned by all races were destroyed. Just like during the L.A. race riots, White people were attacked, both black and White people were killed, and White women were kidnapped and raped by black men. Useful idiots committed arson and robbery while liberals wrang their hands over a psyop. They were all brainwashed. The concept of White Privilege was concocted by ivory tower elites/jews in academia to distract the masses from economic class struggles, and it worked.

Of all the negative things to focus on, I have no idea why Diana gets mentioned.
 
Mr West should consider posting less interracial porn and focus back on blaming the Jews for things they did to him, both real and imagined. Or maybe post some nice animal media. Everyone loves animals.

Emily Youcis has been using this song for a lot of her videos
I think it could work for MATI.

This is very catchy, I like the way he says words even if I don't particularly like the words he says. His appearance does make it a lot funnier though.

Bojack was just very boring. I never finished it and I have an obsessive need to finish all media I start, no matter how bad it is. I remember everyone raving about the episode that was underwater, I can't remember much of it at all. When Ralph said "The horse is literally me fr fr" I thought "Yes, that makes sense."
 
I will punish a small business for Google's mistakes
Sometimes the entry on Google Maps is controlled by the business, which would make an incorrect listing of business hours the business's fault, not the fault of Google (or of whatever Google Maps user typed in the incorrect hours).

This thing HAS to be a pooner. I did a google for it and it's a midget, not even up to the shoulder of the guy in the same pic. Looks very poonery in the face and has the textbook T early 20's hair loss.
No way is that a real guy. It's a dood.

Edit: not that it affects the music any, just my troon radar went off and I had to sperg
 
I only made it four episodes into Horseman when it was new. I didn't mind the premise & liked the art/voices, but it was clear they were going to tell a terrible story with characters I initially liked. I feel great knowing vaguely that it fell far lower than I would've guessed.

From the same era, Ugly Americans was a superior show, minorities were substituted with literal demons and zombies, the humor was solid, and I liked the disfunction of the social worker office in a world full of paranormal bullshit

my preferred sub shops and pizza places' hours fluctuated wildly during COVID and I learned to accept disappointment and hunger when driving to places that should've been open but weren't. I'm the type of person that would obviously post an address on the internet for displeasing me but in this case their addresses were already out there so what could I do these minimum wagies that was worse than what life was already doing to them? You find yourself less hangry when you're in bed halfway thru that meatball sub and wiping errant marinara on that perpetually unused pillow next to you.

There are a surprising amount of fake businesses around the U.S. that are just fronts for CIA/FBI/ATF/etc. If you see a dentist office or chiropractor in a strange storefront that never has any customers but still stays lit/maintained, think about how useful that space would be for glowies in your area and community. Google is probably instructed luminescently not to change info on that building due to a previous glow-op

While I can appreciate your sentiment here, the drugs and alcohol have not made Ralph the way he is. Ralph was born that way. He will always be that way. Dead sober Ralph would be no less belligerent, selfish, spiteful, low IQ, or needlessly cruel than he is when on drugs.

Stopping drugs and alcohol will fix nothing in Ralph's life. His addictions are the least of his problems.
I mean. That's the underlying point of what I'm saying. Addicts don't get sober if they stay selfish and self-centered. The difference between a drug addict/alcoholic, is a drug addict is actually mentally ill, is the best I can describe it. It's a lot like someone being a schizophrenic, an addicts brain is literally wired different than a non addict.

Something interesting about the genetics of addiction. Is it 2 people are born with the gene, one has a nice childhood with no issues, one ends up having some kind of traumatic event in childhood the one with the childhood trauma ends up activating the gene. While the normal one behaves like a normal person.

It also is possible to recreate the same thing for people not born with addiction in their family. Through heavy enough use of drugs or alcohol used as an escape from reality. Though it's not as much of a guarantee. And to be clear I'm talking about the behaviors of addiction. Not drug dependency which is a different thing.

But back to the behavior. You are right that the shitty behavior isn't caused by the drugs, at least not directly. That stuff is the underlying actual issue. And it's where things get more complicated and hard to due justice in a forum reply. But an actual true addict CANNOT get sober without dealing with and changing the underlying behavioral issues. It's the reason it takes so much shit for an addict to actually get sober. Because when they just stop using, and don't accept they are the problem not the drugs it doesn't work. And it's a hard thing for an addict to accept. Because it means taking responsibility for a lot of bad shit they did.

It's not a thing I can really describe well in a forum thread, in a way that people can easily understand where I'm coming from if they aren't addicts that got sober and stayed sober. I'm not trying to change people's minds about addicts. Or to feel bad for Ralph. I don't even feel bad for Ralph.

But there is a sort of code for people that are addicts that get sober. Sort of like in that old episode of china, IL for anyone that watched adult swim.


If you are an addict it's almost an obligation to be willing to help another addict get sober if they actually are trying to change. Partially because if they change how they behave it ends up stopping the harm to the people around them. But also because other addicts were there to do the same for you. Like I said though. This doesn't mean I think anyone else should feel the same way I do about it, particularly not normies.
 
Why is everyone getting old
Not only is Chris Hansen old but he's hard up for cash these years. Out there hustling hard for TrueBlue's youtube channel and apparently for boner pills on tv too. At least he's not getting arrested for bounced checks anymore.

Poor guy's colleagues back from Dateline are all comfortably retired in big houses but Chris made some missteps. We can look forward to Chris continuing his grindset until he's dead, I fear.

People with personality disorders self-medicate to escape the hell of being Cluster B [antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic] especially. They remain disordered. Because of their disorders, they enjoy blaming drunkenness, for example, for their bad behaviors.
The only wise strategy for the rest of us is to keep a safe distance.

tl;dr: agreed, addiction is a symptom, not a core malady
 
Man, Josh brought up Bojack Horseman and I haven't thought about that in a hot minute.
I really liked the show, it has writing issues for sure, and it's not for everyone because it is specifically a story about broken people and how LA breaks them even further. Unfortunately, people like Dick and Ralph took the complete opposite lesson from that show. Bojack is a complete monster and as the show goes on it asks you, the viewer, to view Bojack as the serious problem he is instead of as a relatable or tragic figure. And the end was fucking bullshit, he should have died but they nixed that obviously perfect end for some other bullshit.
If you aren't a hedonist retard, the show serves as a deconstruction of the idea of this 'jerk-with-a-good-heart' as it focuses on the consequences for those around Bojack, especially Sarah Lynn who by far has the best and most depressing story in the whole show. If you are a retard, like certain cows and pigs, you completely missed the point that narcissism and hedonism will destroy not just your life but the lives of those around you.
I wouldn't really recommend it as a show at this point, it did a lot of things well but also a lot of things poorly and you aren't missing out on anything other media nails better.
