I'm getting too old for this shit.

I'm old, I've lived in a lot of different places and came to the US as an adult. I cannot overstate how important people like Null are and I am so grateful a place like this site exists. Censorship is a gradual process, to say it flippantly it doesn't start with banning giant communication sites like twitter it starts with banning shitposting. We've watched you stand up to entire countries and I know you've had to sacrifice a lot to be in a position where that is possible.

If you do decide to shutter the site and disappear I'll be sad but you'll be a great parent if that's what you want to do and the world will be a better place with your children in it.
 
Thank you for everything you've done Josh.

I have been lucky enough to enjoy many years of laughter and learning thanks to the tireless work you put into this site and the streams.
Anyone can say they understand, or that they have the secret solution to whatever ails you.

You know what you need better than anyone else.


No matter what happens I really hope you find fulfillment in life, and the loving warmth that can only come from family.

Sorry to hear that you're going through all of this, Null. Your insights into freedom of speech laws and the various corporate bottlenecks involved in webhosting moved me to start raising awareness of these issues (and donating to charities.)

I'm sure it's really hard to be isolated and hurting. I cosign the advice others gave about talking to a good therapist - the right mix of talk therapy, staying physically healthy and medication can make a huge difference. I also hope you find a nice lady to settle down with - marriage can be pretty great.

Anyway, I appreciate the thankless burdens you've carried over the years. I hope things start going well for you soon, and I'll be praying for you.

For the record, I don't want Trump to completely get rid of all 230's protections. That would be insane. At the same time major internet hubs especially need to actually allow free speech. The current situation where people are deplatformed for stepping out of line has to be corrected somehow. I just don't agree with the idea that even touching it is going to ruin everything for this site. Of course I want to see this site continue, though.
 
Didn't Chris-chan go on a "search" for a GF? And got catfished over and over again? Not saying Null is following Chris-chan's trajectory at all, oh no. That would be, um, I can't find the words. Doesn't matter. Going outside to do things outside. See you all later. Or not if this site goes down. Shrug.
I had the strongest urge to photoshoot Null's head onto Chris' picture where he's wearing the "Want Woman" shirt.

I think this is closer to Lowtax than Chris, tbh.
 
There's like ten thousand users on this site one of them has to be a decent looking chick who will take one for the team and marry null so the site doesn't get nuked
Uhhh... How 'decent looking' ?

I'm thinkin, I might be depressed about the future too... and... I....
 
I lurked for years and joined 2019 - even tough I don't post a lot (had to take a step back to regain my apathy and not get MOTI) I visit the site almost every day. The Salon is my place to be and I (mostly) love the other farmers there. It would be a sad sad day if the site would get nuked.

But I can understand @Null being burnt out.
We are almost the same age and I went through a similar existential crisis when I turned 30. I changed my life completely only for my plans to crash and burn (for reasons outside of my power).

But what happened? I started over again and nothing of value was lost. I am in a better spot than I was before the big crash and I am content with it (even tough my "dreams" didn't come true and plans didn't work out, but I tried). Life is good. It always goes on.

Step back, travel the world (and use your infamy to crash with your Kiwis - save money and meet new people
Austria is a fucking sweet country, everybody come visit
and just live, don't try to force anything. Desperation is not attractive.

PS. I hope my shirt is arriving soon… that's my only physical memento of this hellhole if everything goes up in flames :optimistic:

Haven't you read the thread? All the kiwis that would want him crashing with them are sadboys with terrible lives. I'm sure someone's mother's basement has an extra cot or two.
 
Been kind of hard to miss that you haven’t been being yourself lately. All the shit that has been going on with nanny’s trying to sanitize the internet cause “it’s wrong” ,then we get the worst year ever. It’s enough to make anyone want to say “fuck it” and walk away. I’ve lurked the farms, but mostly got notice of you from your live streams. ( which for all of your mispronunciations , dead air, odd tech problem, i greatly enjoy.) the rawness and honesty is refreshing.( given all the fake bullshit attention whores we are stuck with now.) Fuck everyone else. You do what you want, not because of what others want you to do, but, because you want to do it. As far as other streamers go, ignore them, ralph is so butt hurt over the corn sacrifice he still rants and raves.. think you won that one. ( you made a one sentence comment that he has foamed for hours about. ) any-hoo, take care of yourself, your hard work is appreciated.
