The internet is really just a horrible toxic place.

I dunno what it is but lately I've just come to the realization that the internet itself is just a terrible place.

People flexing to strangers, starting sh!t (not trolling), seeking copious amounts of validation, trying to be public figures, arguments over anything and everything...

Really makes me see how terrible the internet really is and wanting to pretty much disconnect myself from it.

Seems like everyone's on edge these days

It is extremely brutal if you are not a young-middle aged woman and/or a 'genetically blessed' person, if you are, it is the opposite

Holocaust denial is illegal in over 18 countries. if an organized killing of jews happened so definitely, why would people need to serve prison sentences for questioning it?

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little bitch?

I’ll have you know my name is John, and I woke up this morning 5:30 sharp to the smell of wet pussy. I was getting a blowjob from two bitches (**** was SO Cash), one was trying to fit my humongous 3 pound balls in her mouth while the other was choking halfway on my 18 and 3\8 inch dick. She started to squirt hard, she was convulsing and having 6 orgasms at the same time. I gave it to them and they were on the floor squirting like mother****ing fountains. Must have come about a quart of sperm and compressed air. Imagine your best orgasm, then multiply it by 35. I had to go to base camp so I front-flipped from my 14th floor barracks into my valet parked 2012 Ferrari (I got connexions). Pushed my **** to about 4 hundo (mph, mind you) and I was at base camp in no time. When I entered, I became a top sniper and was granted access to the entire arsenal of the USMC. I learned how to kill someone in over 700 different ways and was assigned to be the leader of a squad that will kill 300 terrorists using gorilla warfare tactics. Also did 6000 push-ups, 8000 sit-ups and bench-pressed 30 plates in 16 minutes. After basic training, I met a network of secret spies who will help me trace your IP address, while eating gold plated sushi and 15,000 $ champagne. My unit got the rest of the day off and I became captain of our base’s football team and starter of the basketball team. I got straight A’s on the military entrance exams and received more awards. Meanwhile, you were jacking off to pictures on ******** and naked drawn Japanese people. Went back in the Lambo to my barracks and now I am getting ready to go to sleep. I am going to graduate at the top of my class in the Navy Seals tomorrow and I want to look pretty much perfect for it. Don’t be a stranger and remember, I did more in one day than you will your entire life.

Anonymity brings out the best in people. I mean this place is just dudes in a circle jerk trying to get reps from one another for the most part.



Twitter is nice too I hear.

It's ironic how when commercial internet access exploded globally, everyone thought that the access to knowledge, information, people, ideas, cultures etc would bring the world closer and eliminate old hatreds, ignorance, and foster a kindred community.


Fast forward today, and we have exponentially more ignorance, low tolerance to criticism, hatred of different points of viewm, cancel culture, doxxing, harassment, cyber bullying, etc etc etc.

You find what you seek OP. Stop opening social media constantly and looking for stuff that pisses you off. There's so much useful information that you can teach yourself to do almost anything, entertainment to find and knowledge to learn.

I self taught networking through online videos and got a good job in the field. I'm currently doing the same but with Python so I can get an even better job. Once I have a firm understanding of those combined I'll look into pen testing and ethical hacking for even more opportunity.

It has ruined our society, while also growing it. It's a catch 22.

Here are some thoughts about the duality of the internet:
-It has made an unbelievable amount of knowledge and information readily available, which has also destroyed out society's ability to critically think
-It has allowed us to be entertained at all times, yet we are all bored and constantly searching for entertainment
-It has connected us to people all over the world in mass amounts, while also isolating us socially in real life
-It has become a funnel to show your skills, personality, and life to others, while also exacerbating our insecurities and faults to everyone
-It has allowed us to so much good for others and bring awareness, while also exploiting our vices and sins
-It has allowed people to meet, find, and create relationships with people across the world, but has also increased the ability to cheat.

I can go on and on, but this sudden major increase in the internet's capabilities and functioning has created a monster. All of the positives in life it compounds in so many ways, also does the same with the horror and negatives in life.

It's down to you and how you use it.

Listen *******. There are 9 billion people in the world. 65% of them are below or nearly bellow average miserable losers.

That's at least 6.5 billion losers who are free to take out their frustrations on people that are better then them anonymously with no fear of being KTFO or anything.

Of course it's a toxic place.

It's almost like the average human is a vapid, narcissistic, sub 100 IQ heathen. We'll take anything good and corrupt it.

It's not the internet. It's the people who are toxic.

The internet just provides the lens with which we can get a better look at what our species truly is.

That Ted Kaczynski guy was really on to something.

In all honesty though I think a lot of the danger and bad energy comes from people intentionally manipulating things or being paid to do so. Even what can be considered the basics like a Google search or trip advisor review are rigged. Now consider all the billions being dumped into organizations with the aim of directing public opinion or changing society.

Everyone has a crazy female cousin (or few) that immediately bitch out delta airlines publicly on Twitter after they hear your bag was lost. These are the sheep that were manipulated into this new way of societal behavior. Just look at the obvious paid for responses to everything on Twitter to see where they learned this.

Manipulation, propaganda, bots, alts etc

We don't even know what is real anymore

I still struggle to see the point in social media. Why not just ban it?
