"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.
they're blocking ips bro and any website using those ips and I put all my kiwiflare shit on the same web
Ok, so the MATI KiwiFlare/Proxies can't reach the all knowing central KiwiFlare, which is why I can reach the MATI servers via traceroute but get a connection refused. Got it.
 
To the ISP executive, Josh is maliciously using advertiser/government data without any regard for its intended purpose. They only ever interact with him to tard wrangle him, tell him to fuck off, or otherwise treat him like a petulant child instead of an adult.
What? It's not about "maliciously using data". It's about censoring legal speech because they can't use the courts to do it. It's about being a very small nepotistic community of tech retards that think they can decide who is allowed on the internet and who isn't. Josh is a paying customer entering a business relationship, A&Niggers are freeloading jews who are tolerated in the name of free speech, but are treated as the ginger haired stepchildren they are. This comparison is dumb as hell.

I think there there is room to fully integrate Articles and News into the rest of the forum instead of continuing to treat it like a cancerous tumor.
Retard idea. They can not stop sperging out in on-topic threads, that's why they are contained.
 
I was ordering a pizza the other day when I had to stop and change it to a McDonald's order. I instantly thought of the animesucks thing and I realized that I didn't want an autistic superchatter
dude, that faggot did not coin the term "pizza day", josh did. PPP made fun of him for it while insisting it was impossible to lose weight while eating pizza. much unsolicited advice in this thread later, PPP gained weight and josh lost some/eventually leveled out due to increased pressure from drop kiwifarms troons.
so really you are like PPP if you don't enjoy pizza day.
 
The reason why I close the stream when superchats come on now. The superchat segment used to be a Q&A for the site administrator, now it's just unfunny faggots throwing money at Null to be a clown for them. He should adjust his price threshold and charge them more for stupid shit and keep raising the price the more it's done to keep the superchat segment interesting.
Then the SC segments will just be degenerates having null read their erotic fanfiction since they tend to have the money to throw around.
 
I’ve finally gotten to one of Josh’s book recommendations, A History Of Central Banking.
It’s that special kind of depressing where I would highly recommend it to those of you who would rather hear a harsh truth than a happy lie. It’s well written, has great historical context and examples, and certainly doesn’t pull any punches.
 
Either he's on holiday in New Zealand or he's got 2017 YouTube disstracks queued on his playlist.

I think ISP execs believe that only they should be allowed to use the advertising and Gov’t data that forms the basis of every dox. This is why they’re so pissy with Josh and make decisions without him. They want it for themselves and they don’t like people realizing exactly what they have on the average person.

I still think there’s a similarity in the power dynamics.
A&Niggers are freeloading jews who are tolerated in the name of free speech, but are treated as the ginger haired stepchildren they are. This comparison is dumb as hell.
The majority of users are freeloading Jews but site growth brings in more donations, statistically speaking. Josh keeping the platform politically neutral has fostered most of the growth.

This is quite possibly the only site in the world with both blue hair feminists and chud /pol/ incels. The feminists want the incels gone and the incels want the feminists gone. I like what Josh has done by separating every group into their own enclave, I just think he should expand on the idea and make it more clear what the expectations of each thread are, so even the smooth brain (insert your political enemy here) can get it.

No one’s speech is censored, you can post any idea you want, as long as it’s in the proper place.
 
Courtesy of the Taylor Lorenz thread, @LOWERCASE LETTERS has found a nice article by The Other McCain about nobody's favorite tech reporter and the double-standard of consequences over her journalistic ethics and that of Farms.
Was going to say, NULL has some friends in the comments there. It also got featured on instapundit:

With a few other friends in the comments there too. Dunno if NULL could get an interview with McCain but might be worth a shot.

Greg Lukianoff was also on a recent podcast talking about how he had expanded FIRE from education to just society in general. (FIRE now stands for Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression https://www.thefire.org/) Don't know if NULL has reached out to them but it could be worth a shot.

@Null did you make a press packet once or just talk about needing help with that? Something pithy that compiles all the information together that folks could share around would probably be good.

It makes logistical sense to keep it as a separate subforum for the same reason there are subforum categories for BP, IF, GW and the like though. Easy cataloguing and a simple to understand system for users interested in those different kinds of content. Kind of like how you have signs for different areas of a large building irl.

The "cancerous tumor" thing always to me seemed less like a problem with that section and more the problems people who aren't regular users of it have with it. People think it's /pol/ either because they don't go there, or because they're mid-far lefties who bristle at a boomercon saying boomercon shit. There's like two guys who are regulars there over 60 y/o ffs.

I’m probably not being clear enough. I don’t have an issue with A&N being a separate forum.

To keep my criticism constructive, here are a few thread trios that I like:

1) The Biden thread, the Trump thread, and the vaccine trashfire thread.

It might seem superficially strange to include the vaccine trashfire thread but whether or not you’re vaxxed usually breaks down along party lines. I know @Null hates the vaccine thread but it’s a lot of fun for users that like a spectacle and gives team red and team blue a space to “own” each other. When Pissmaster and HHH are done slapfighting, or if one gets their feelings hurt, they can always retreat to the team red or team blue designated hugbox thread and not have to deal with the other user following them.

2) the pro-Russia, pro-Ukraine, and shambolic Gov’t debate threads.

Same concept as above. Each side has a hugbox and a thread where they can @ each other and have a slapfight.

Here are a few examples where there is room for improvement:

1) the man-hate and woman hate spin-offs lack a designated shitting street for slapfights. I think we could really cut down on the number of users following the beauty parlor ladies around if there was a designated thread for slapfights. This would also reduce the incel demand to shit up the man hate hugbox.

2) @Freya has brought this up before but I believe the original intent of her feminism discussion thread was for the discussion to be lead by women, without moids shitting it up. I think the solution is to have a constructive feminism discussion thread (Freya’s thread), a feminism deconstruction thread for the chuds, and a mass debates feminism thread for slapfights.

I think this will allow for more “light touch” moderation, where posts can be moved and users can be asked to put their post in the appropriate place. Tard wrangling users is resource-intensive and only encourages them to make a million socks and shit up the forum even more.
 
I belive Null's press packet is: "Fuck Journos"
Well I'd rather hang them but far be it for me to judge someone's fetish.

Still "press packet" in the sense of something to hand out to normies to get them to understand. NULL's article on "payment processors" is a great example that's good to pass around.

I feel like all of this belongs in a meta thread somewhere tbh. Dunno which one it'd go into or if there's even one for that discussion in specific.

And Mass Debates already exists as a catch-all dumping ground for slapfighting.
 
a YouTuber I watch from time to time went to TwitchCon. He filmed some of the art booths for a couple of seconds (censored of course). He got told by one owners that since he filmed his booth. That means he has a “copy” of their art for free.

Once he said that the YouTuber said “Like an NFT”!
Only reason I bought this up is because it reminded me of Josh hating on all the copyright bullshit he sees

There is already a designated shitting street thread for both to slapfight each other but it's not used because the manhate thread women just want to talk amongst ourselves and be left the fuck alone while the incels just want female attention and shit up our thread to get it. There is no discussion to be had with each other because it's not about deciding which sex is "better" or whatever you think the purpose is, it's just a thread for women to vent.
