The Internet is the technological invention that has destroyed more lives than anything else in history.
I say this as an Internet addict myself. Stop spending your life on the Internet or you will be 60 and wondering why it feels like just yesterday you were an 18 yo just getting out of highschool.
GET OFF THE INTERNET.
Start to live in the real world.

Why are you using it then
I already said it. I'm addicted to it.
I'm trying to convince myself to wean off.
pathetic. why can't you just stop going on the internet right now? this is a case of "do as I say not as I do" which is for pathetic people. tomorrow instead of waking up and turning your pc on. don't. eat your breakfast without looking at a screen. you have to make the effort.
yes, I'm weak. sorry
>1999 was 40 years ago
>Start to live in the real world.
yeah.... market economies, terrible planners and rich people kinda ruined that whole "outside" thing.
Live outside the socialist media. The real world isn't "rich" ruining things. Its people living their lives.
No, he's right. The ultra-rich are ruining our lives pretty badly. Addicts are easy to control.
>want to travel outside
>outside is fricked, lets try going even outer
>need passport, which requires money and bureaucracy
>buy plane/train/boat ticket
>have to go through 2 hours of more bureaucracy and safety because a very small group decided to destroy two buildings 20 years ago
>sit on plane, survive it next 200 more deranged people
>arrive, more scrutiny, now by another government
>have to buy ticket/pass/taxi to arrive at resting destination
>complete the form to acquire a rental room
>finally outside
>ready to do it but in another "outside"
yeah, id rather shitpost
Jesus dude... if only you knew how bad things really are. but ignorance is bliss so carry on.
yes goy, ignore what rich people do
Then do stuff around the house. Or drive somewhere that's not so bad and spend a few hours there.
Owning a house costs nearly a million dollars in most of the US now.
You choose where you live.
Move to a nicer area if you don't like stroads.
I live in a fairly nice place. I just like to pretend that I'm an american living in California when I'm online.
I can't find anywhere nice
This doesn't really fix the problem
>This doesn't really fix the problem
Sure but even if you live in a shitty place you should avoid the Internet and try to live in real life. Even if you live in the ghetto it's better to find something to do rather than spend all day on the internet.
You'll pay for my moving? I can't get a better job, I'm constantly trying, I'm stuck here.
people don't realise that the internet mobilised the ultrarich with information in a way never before possible, which has *then* been used against us, including all of our habits
they're getting debt pressure to a fine art to make people continually squirm for safety
towns are designed to get stuff done (get people to work, sell stuff, lower traffic), you dont need a specially designed city to have friends and do stuff outside, why do you think kids are known for fricking around in drainage ditches and in parking lots?
stop being a hipster and just frick off in the real world
(there are public parks in most towns too)
>being so moronic you think anyone in the last 120 years experienced market economies.
Getting into online arguments was a big mistake to begin with.
I used to tell myself that I was improving my language skills and that at least I might learn a little bit arguing online.
Yes, it sounds cringey but it was the only thing I could find to justify my addiction.
I wasted my early 20s doing that shit and it makes me sad.
>this happened a while ago, it makes me sad, lets relive it
I used to think like that too, it's fricking hell and so stupid. Then I thought wait, I can just train myself to stop and throw those thoughts out before I focus on them. I can just not think those thoughts.
Now I'm much better and life is much nicer.
Well that's not even the issue.
I'm STILL throwing my life away in online arguments. At least now I recognize it as an addiction and don't justify it to myself anymore.
well if you got my first step down then the next step is to
>damn why am I wasting my time here *close all tabs*
I'm getting fairly good at it, just observe. You do it too, just do it now and remember to always do it. Just close it like how you close bad memories. It's nothing, it's nothing!
not me, social media actually sharpened my reasoning and writing skills
Cope. Imagine all the things you could have achieved in that time. Way more than being slightly more skilled at writing.
like what? amassing a pepe.jpeg collection?
Depends on what your goals are and where you are in life to begin with.
thanks but i knew that (you stupid butthole)
then why ask
praise the sun
I will never, ever regret having spent 2015-2020 online. Good times.
Really? What have you done during those years that you are so happy about having spent those years online?
If you weren't there you'll never know.
I was there. On /misc/ it was all shitposting about Trump and people shooting other people. On IQfy it was all shitposting about all the usual shit and 1 or 2 threads that actually taught me something.
>it was all people shooting other people
if only you were telling the truth.
>go in real world
>normies start blaming me to work
>all works are 8 to 12 hours, 6 days a week
>everyone is angry and act like they are running out of time
>everything that I want to try or do is out of reach
The only thing that I had was internet and they manager to ruin it and now wants me to leave too
How do you pay for the Internet without a job. Government assistance? Parents?
I use a ssh tunneling proxy that gives me unlimited access
ssh over what? Dial up?
a 4g mobile network
I'm sure you could hide a cellphone somewhere with free wifi with an ssh server on it
but how do you not get billed for the ssh connection?
it's a free pajeet service like fastssh, and no, I don't care about muh security
Yeah but I mean you still get billed for the x11 traffic from your phone to the ssh server, right? Isn't that more expensive than browsing sites directly?
Or is it a special pajeet thing that allows you to transfer data for free?
yeah, it uses a provider specific exploit that allows to inject the ssh tunneling, and yep, there are pajeets already selling it for profit
How do I get said pajeet service? I don't really need it, but it's interesting to study how it works.
Maybe it uses those free whatsapp options that they offer in the third world.
I don't know what they use to check, maybe you can send IP packets while making it look like they belong to the original TCP connection to whatsapp servers. Or if they are UDP packets belonging to some p2p aspect of whatsapp some other of those applications.
Or maybe they exploit some allowances made to connect to ISP specific webpages.
Back in the WAP days here you could connect to HTTPS ports for free, they only blocked the HTTP port for non paying customers.
Yeah. I remember the kind of utopian world people thought the internet revolution would bring.
It's kind of sad how naive people were.
Mondo 2000!
OP is not wrong, but he could be a bit more precise.
The internet is a endless mirror you Narcissus can stare into if you don't think about it to long.
The internet can be a community fostering tool, but you need to treat it as such. So start your own website, have some restraint, and dont consume anything that you can't email the author about.
With the degradation of the net I am expecting "internet veganism" to be the next thing, my next thing anyway. Focus on connecting with communities that matter, your local community and try not to prostitute your self to google.
Yet here you are on IQfy where everybody is anonymous.
IQfy and youtube are actually my only internet addictions but only those two things manage to be extremely addicting.
I agree, do as I say not as I do. and guess what 2 tabs I have open? But maybe we are addicted cause we both see so much potential in chan and youtube. I wish every city had its own chan board. It would be nice to feel like I was part of my local community.
I dont hate the internet.
I hate you, i hate your (lack of) guts, your lack of virtue.
I never looked ar the internet as something to idly consume, to passively enjoy, to "learn" how to argue from.
I already was good, and i wanted to freely share all of this souls common wisdom with you.
I see now that you cannot be helped, you cannot learn, you cannot fix yourselves.
The only thing left is to wait for you desperate bastards to start killing each other, idolizing your own weakness and ignorance and calling that good.
If you have the chance to do at least one good thing in your miserable lives, then dont be a b***h blaming others, just fricking have a nice day.
Maybe it doesn't affect you, congratulations but it's been a massive harm to people like me (imo most people).
bump
oh, the janitors bump locked my thread. passive aggressive homosexuals.
no they didn't you fat fricking homosexual
my bad then. i thought i had reseted my ip since posting but i guess not.
just to make sure
the real world doesnt exist anymore, it was consumed by the internet
Most days i hope some big crazy frick up happens to the data centers, and it knocks the Internet back 20 years, and never bounces back.
Theres nothing in the real world worth living for, no land to start a family on, no neighbors who dont hate me for being young and poorer than their lucky boomer asses, and no peers who trust their generation enough to move in with them and ally themselves and form new bonds of family. The internet is the next best thing to that.
