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

Nice stream, I particularly enjoyed the cheese segment, that guy was owned.

And oh yes. Ireland. They may despise the English, but they cunningly adopted the BS1363 plug standard and 230V power all the same. Great bunch of lads.

I was going to propose we have a Christmas truce in the cheese war until New Year's, but Bing's interpretations of WWI soldiers playing with a giant cheese ball in no-man's-land are so far off that it may not be destined to happen. Let me know if you come up with a better prompt!

You may be running into the same problem that I was having with Bing. It absolutely refuses to accept names. For example, I have had a ton of prompts blocked (and my damn boosts eaten) trying to get Ronald McDonald. I assume this is a precautionary measure against prompts like "[full name of the hot girl from my class] walking around barefoot," for example.

It would happily give me Ronald McDonald if I called him "McDonalds clown" instead. So you may just have to give a physical description of Null and hope for the best. e.g. "chubby man with short hair and very wide set eyes." Possibly mention that he's a controversial figure who runs an internet forum, but I doubt he's famous enough for the AI to grasp what we're implying there.

I had no problem with prompts that included other names, like "streamer Jordie Jordan"

I suspect Null is right about cheese because the people saying he’s wrong are getting rather contrived in how they approach the question.

Null did say from the start he regarded artisan or megaplex food stores in major coastal cities as not really changing his mind because he can find lots of high quality cheese in just about every European store.

Then there is the macro level question of if Europe has higher food standards than the US (it does).

So the only place you can argue with his position is at an arbitrary mid-level point nobody would care about except to argue with Null.

Moreover I think his opponents are… confused about small town rural America. I know it’s not the Thomas Kincaid ideal but rural Americans eat a lot of zogslop in general. You’ll find more diet-conscious people in the metropolitan regions of the country.

The point from the first cheese stream was always that even in a village of 50-100 people that he can find more varieties and qualities of cheese. Americans pointing to cities of 20,000 people and then insisting that the goalposts were moved is ridiculous. If someone's contention is that populations of 50-100 in America don't have local access to specific cheeses, you are not proving them wrong by going to cities 400x the size, and the goalposts aren't being moved because your argumentation lacks cogency.

Nothing has convinced me there's a crisis of critical thinking in America more than the Cheddar Question.

Let's make it anything other than cheese. Let's suppose I claim that cities in America with populations of 50-100 don't have dogs... ask yourself how you'd disprove that. Would you go to cities with 20,000 and point out the dogs there? Of course not. You'd seem rather ridiculous.

How do you know I am not in one of those small villages? Also the point of going to a Kroger chain is that you can find them everywhere including those small towns.

Also that is a dumb argument. It is no longer about cheese then it is about just demographic spread.
It is like arguing "In America you have to buy alcohol from people with American liquor licenses! Over here in Europe not a single person I bought from ever had an American liquor license!"
If you are going to shift the argument this way it no longer becomes if rural people have access to a variety of cheeses, it just becomes "American infrastructure was designed around car transportation. You have to drive a car to get things in America! We don't have to do that in Europe!"
Like no shit. The argument should just be. "Do rural people have access to a large variety of cheeses?" Which he defined as "Not just Cheddar and American, and maybe mozzarella, brie, and Gouda if you are lucky."
I don't live in a big city, my big city is about 1 hour 20 min away with usual traffic, as for the ocean, the ocean is like 5-6 hours away. If showing a video with 40+ cheeses that he refuses to play in it's entirety on screen is not sufficient, nothing will.
I could go to a creamery and show walls full of cheeses and it wouldn't matter by the shifting goal posts.

Frankly josh admitting that he's becoming eurified and being this smug and dismissive about cheese is making me like him less. The only thing keeping him in my good graces and welcome to the homeland is the fact his favorite local food is still technically pizza and burgers.

Also here's some rage bait for the kiwi führe. https://twitter.com/PC_Focus_/status/1728007758958469414

In 1832, he vetoed a bill by Congress to reauthorize the Second Bank of the United States, arguing that it was a corrupt institution that benefited the wealthy. After a lengthy struggle, he and his allies dismantled the Bank. In 1835, Jackson became the only president to pay off the national debt. He also survived the first assassination attempt on a sitting president.

This is basically all you need to know about Andrew Jackson, the greatest president of the United States.

After hearing Null complain that we didn’t tell him about the news hamster, I propose a different hamster for each segment of the show. Not too granular, but something like housekeeping, news, ????, and superchats.

let fans post their own and pick which ones are best.

I'm always up for a little art contest!

Having said that, I'm not sure it's a good idea to clutter up a stream with a bunch of unnecessary art assets. The news hamster specifically is useful for people who want to skip the news. As we can already tell the superchat section apart because it's green, it doesn't need much else. Housekeeping is right after the opening music, and similarly, the lolcow section is between the news and the green.
Would other segment critters have any purpose aside from being cute, but distracting, visual noise?

I do like the idea of a hamster-run news crew, because that sounds adorable, but I'd suggest it more as an occasional-situational bit (like the halloween hamsters, or something for really specific long-running topics - like lawsuits), than to turn the whole thing into a full-fledged hamster podcast.

It's up to Josh, though - It's his show.

besides this being the what second or third week where you attempt to defend null's shitty position by completely disregarding what he said also consider this: Null's entire argument went from "Americans don't have cheese" to "You have to be the extreme end of what is considered a rural community in America in order to not have cheese." Here's a link to what defines rural according to the census.

Guess what. Per the rules nearly 80% of the American population is considered urban. That means that using Null's extremely moved goal of "only counts in rural areas" picking an American at random means a 1 in 5 chance of picking someone who will be cheeseless and cheddarful. You have a vast majority of the nation living in locations that offer a variety. If Null really wanted to be right on this and not eternally btfo'd he would just say "yes America does have healthy options, but the average American is too lazy or too poor to pursue them." I know so many people who use inferior products because they're just easily available. Because of a push to be more conscious about what you eat in the recent years, however, I see more and more people in organic shops and actually asking "where did this come from and how was it made."

I will reiterate what I said the last week you tried this: Null will not suck your dick.

Well, it would be good for the clippers, which is something he said he would like for getting his stuff on other socials. For example, the lolcow section shows no clear cut from one to the next, so you could have a lolcow hamster with text showing which one is being talked about. And that’s something that could be done easily in OBS, even on the fly.

Having a few different hamsters makes the process fun without having too much noise. All it takes is to just switch from one to the other Mid-stream.

i think it would kill several birds with one stone.

Yeah. Cute as it might be, and though I also enjoy community art stuff.... Niggas tryin' to turn Josh into a PNGtuber.

Soon we'll have a hamster with his arms crossed for when Josh gets really angry.
