The Internet
{Graph}
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-lin

Saved!I have been on hold 2.5 hours trying to cancel my old internet deal, they are making it as difficult as possible but I refuse to give in. These fuckers are getting cancelled today even if I have to drive down to their store in the city centre and refuse to leave until they do it.

Saved!NodleyEditing … I did it! The cheeky bastards offered to match the price for my new Internet I told them not a chance, I should have been paying that already. -

Saved!This guy … http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=16841
He seems to center all of his forum posts, making them look like poetry. -
Saved!For the first time ever new Internet providers are now allowed in my city. I can get 1000mbps for £40, 900mbps for £30. There are hundreds of options, I don't know where to start! I've been paying £60 for 500mbps for years because I had no option.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … No wait! I have complete control now, I can use other options. I now have an offer for 1000mbps for £29. That's the one I'm going for. Half the price double the speed.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I did it! I searched all the reviews and got me 1000mbps internet that is reliable for £40 a month. They are coming on the 18th to install it.

Saved!My fiber optics will be unlocked 13th June!!! I'm so looking forward to it!!
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Nice. My city just got opened up to other internet companies so everybody is bailing the one internet provider we had to use for others. I think I can half my bill when my 2 year contract is up.

Saved!Who has accessed the deep/dark web? I'm kinda curious to see it but I can't be arsed to make the effort. Is it true you can buy hitmen and shit? I do hate a couple people and I have a few k in the bank....
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Just getting it out there that I love our admins and I would never hurt them in any way. This post is in no way connected to favslist. I swear on my sons life.
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … Has not everyone accidentally been on the dark web without knowing it? It’s not like there is a barrier between the normal internet and the dark web right? I guess the most I’ve come across were websites with disgusting pictures of people turned into mincemeat by some industrial machine or pictures of people disfiguring their own genitals. Not much fun to be had there it seems. If you’re curious you should become a facebook admin. I did once came across a bit coin hit man. It surprised me that it was not that expensive. You can definitely afford it. Don't worry. :-P -

Saved!How did we survive before 4G? I'm currently in a bad signal area and I've rage quit loads of websites that take ages to load. And I'm old I remember dial up.

Saved!KlemoibEditing … Don’t project your pathetic dependence on wifi on me. :-P I've survived all this time without any.

Saved!NodleyEditing … But how do you keep entertained when your boss leaves you sat on the dock with no work for over 5 hours?
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … I draw, write, read, game, do nothing, listen to music or podcasts or even just looking at my surroundings or people (and secretly judge them). But I could watch grass grow without getting bored. I've trained my brain to find interest in anything. I always hear people whine about being bored if they don’t have their phone fix in regular intervals. Maybe the phone has something to do with that. I know I can't have a smartphone. My brain will very quickly turn into a fix seeking machine. I like by brain the way it is and I want it to stay healthy so I prefer the inconvenience of being left out and having to use regular maps to Pavlov brain.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … There's not much to se on the dock though, more trucks driving in and out. I could happily sit on the North Yorkshire moors with nothing and just watch nature. One day whilst walking across me and my bro fell asleep in a field, when we woke up we realised there was a bull with big sharp horns in with us. But then an aeroplane started doing stunts right above us up in the sky too, it was kinda surreal. But yeah, nature is always nice to look at, I can do that.
-
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I was terrified, but the bull just stood there watching as we walked past. Bulls > Humans.

Saved!So apparently my ISP is blocking websites now? I can't access a certain website, but it's not down. If I change my location to Amsterdam via a proxy, then it works immediately with no issues.
Man, I can't wait to switch to the new Internet provider. Only two more months until the fiber optics is here, I hope...-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Holy shit, is that even legal? What gives them the right to say that midget trans people dressed as animals porn is off limits?! You should totally go to the papers about it.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … But dude, I use a VPN and I got very little to hide, I watch straight up big tits porn and I'm done in 43 seconds max. I mostly do it to watch Netflix in Australia because the mrs likes some prison soap opera they do there. I feel safer from the hackers though, but to be honest I'm unsure if that's a real thing that it's safer..... I should check on that.
-
Saved!LizardTaroEditing … The blocked websites are accessible again, starting today. Really weird... I wonder what happened there... -

Saved!They put the empty conduit for the upcoming fiber optics cable into the house today. I'll finally have fast Internet in October (if everything goes according to plan)!!
I'm currently surfing the Internet with 50mbit down / 4mbit up and I'm paying a fortune for an unstable connection (€80 a month). I'll switch to the new provider who lays the fiber optics cables and I'll (hopefully) get 300mbit down / 150mbit up speed for €40 a month (yes, that's half the price for multiple times the speed - that's how shitty and scummy my current ISP is). I also have the option to go for 1000mbit down / 500mbit up max.
I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I've had fibre optic for years. I pay £55 a month and just right now got 400mbps download and 90mbps upload.
-
Saved!LizardTaroEditing … Lucky you! I'm living in the middle of nowhere so having fast Internet without the need to move somewhere else is nice.

Saved!I've been in a couple of different environments lately, and I've figured the internet is the greatest thing ever invented by mankind, but it's also the worst too.
Socialising is the absolute loser here. Apart from the obvious like internet dating and chatrooms where people just don't go out to meet and practice social skills it affects socialising in other real life ways. Like I was in a group today chatting and I was about to say something but I just held back, even though I thought I was right I just kept quiet( I was right). Because I spend time online where a random bit of chat is a quick google from humiliation away I know it puts people off. How many of you have done it right here? You go to reply to somebody then think hang on, I'll just google that my memory might be wrong. You know you're right but you have to check. It's a killer in a real world situation.
I remember the old days before internet when we walked to school in snow uphill both ways. But the socialising was so much better! Sure, people were wrong about things. But you couldn't just whip the phone out and humiliate them, you'd end up in a conversation instead, which led to thinking. Thinking is good. Having the abilty to crush somebody stops people from even thinking, they'll just google it instead.
I have a theory about pubs too! It all fits in to my big picture don't worry, I'm not going off on a random. Depression! Everything today is mental health and depression. Was it as prevalent back in the day? I know some people will claim because this or that, but listen to my theory. Men went down the pub and chatted with their best mates, they moaned about "her indoors" and got it off their chest. They basically got to see their best mates everyday, get drunk and get free therapy! Sound good? But now all the pubs are disappearing rapidly and depression is rising exponentially. Coincidence?
So I've come to the conclusion that socialising is extremely important, in many ways and it's dying out. Who gives a fuck if you're wrong about some dudes birthday but having a good time with your friends or family?. Who cares if you need a break from some family shit if you make a marriage last? The internet is killing this kind of thing. Sure, we meet people on the other side of the world but it's not as real. As much as the lack of physical contact, it's the freedom thing, where you can't just say whatever you think all the time without fear of everybody laughing.
The flip side: The internet is a fucking awesome tool, every bit of information you could ever want is there waiting whenever you want it 24/7 and I don't ever want to live without it.
I guess I'm saying use the internet as a tool only to complement your real world life, don't let it become more than that.-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … Since the beginning of the unikgamer days I have been very clear. You all are internet people. You are not really real. :-P In all seriousness I agree. I think it’s a shame that what the internet is good for (meeting people you will never see irl and talking your mind) is largely replaced by opinion making and group think. You guys are really the only internet people I talk to online. I really don’t like the internet for socialising. If I know someone irl I’ll just talk to them and not on social media. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to humiliate or “crush “people with a Google search. I still don’t own a smartphone anyways so it wouldn’t even be possible for me. People really don’t give a shit about facts. It’s always about feelings and understanding those feelings. It’s why people get angry. If you step on our feelings we close our ears and our screaming hole opens. Having conversations with strangers is still possible but it somehow does not happen so much anymore. Nowadays people go straight for their smartphone and don’t even look up. People are also not used to respecting other opinions than their own. People used to be a bit more accepting of different thoughts but now people seem to think to have figured out how the whole universe works. They just want to be “right”. And they of course are “right” all the time and everybody else is wrong. There are not a lot of people I enjoy talking to anymore. Most of them are old grey artists who are somehow still looking for new answers in life. Plenty of people seem nice, but… I really can’t speak my mind with a lot of people anymore. I think I could live fine without the internet. It’s good for finding things, content and ordering online but search results are manipulated to the extreme and it’s getting more and more difficult to navigate. I like having access to it but if you were to pull the plug I would be able to manage just fine. I'd just spend more time looking at birch trees or something.

Saved!NodleyEditing … Internet socialising is like road rage. You know how people turn into massive cunts because they're in their car protected, the internet protects them. They say things they wouldn't dream of if face to face. If society is getting more and more like this is it really a good direction? It's going to get to the point where it's so normal people will act like that face to face too without even thinking. It's something I'm going to try teaching Isabella instead of just letting her go along with the world.
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … I dunno. I was optimistic years ago and I am always an optimist, but from what I saw humanity turn into slowly I can’t say I’m all that hopeful. Maybe in 200 years time things will be great again for a while…. Or were all robot cyborgs living in a dystopia. I see a lot of people my age and under struggling to find meaning in life and struggling to find ways to communicate face to face. When people do communicate it’s all internet speak. I can’t say I’m a fan of that. I think it’s weird but at least they are talking so I guess I’m just a grumpy pants. It’s not like young people suddenly genetically became more inept at socialising or more susceptible to depression. It really is the environment that caused this. Not to say people are powerless to help themselves. And I think a lot of people are trying. What exactly is the cause though we can’t say for sure of course but no doubt shifting societal importance to the internet is an important piece to the puzzle. I’m sure I would be worse off if I were to grow up now. I really hope young kids somehow are resilient to all this. Taking the importance of human interaction and worldview building and simulating it in a virtual space disconnected from actual physical life is a weird thing to do and very confusing. I still can’t really believe society at large has accepted the internet as their new reality and the speed at which we’ve all accepted it is surprising. Sometimes I really wish I could be adopted by Amish people. It’s almost as if they were right all along or at least that they did not lose something that we have lost. Plus plowing seems fun to me. I could do that all day.

Saved!NodleyEditing … Who'd have thunk that drinking cider in the park with your mates at 15 was a better grounding than having free unlimited knowledge at your fingertips. Jessica is 18 now and she likes drinking with her friends, I've passed on some good sensible genes :D
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … I think most people will always like drinking. :-P Having information at your finger tips is not really all that handy I think. You can not process all that info. It's not of much use if you don't digest it. You can watch a thousand video's and still know nothing.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … I need the internet, especially for work. If I go to a new place I get it up on google street view see if a truck can get in there. I check traffic reports and closed roads too, no point driving a truck 200 miles if you can't get there, which has happened a couple of times. I remember back in the 80s in trucks with my dad getting lost and stuck up a hill and allsorts. Outside of work I guess the main use is Netflix, I can't stand normal TV and all these reality shows and pure garbage. Gimme a good selection of classic movies and shows and I'll pay for it. Also it's really handy for checking info, like if Iz wants to go swimming on a Sunday. Or internet banking, fuck yeah! My bank is miles away, internet banking is so good.
-
Saved!WoodrowShigeruEditing … Growing up as a TV nerd, I could never really socialize well. Especially not with large gatherings and alcohol involved, like most people love it. Most of my friends-back-then certainly loved it. That was surely depressing. If I didn't have the internet I don't think I would be alive anymore. Entertainment content, programming web tools and small online communities like ours have always helped. But partially, I'm glad I lost contact with those guys – with big platforms like Facebook, Instergurm and such I don't enjoy the way people like them choose to socialize, anyway. TikTok is a weird one I don't even understand. — On the other hand, I feel like this development of people become more inept to socialize, and to value humanity is actually quite dangerous, they way it's happening. I feel like there's a storm brewing with so much hate growing all over the place, and antisemitism, anti-LGTB+ ideologies sprouting all over again in so many countries simultaneously … I worry a lot that a WWIII is where this is headed – but not one where countries fight each other, like with Ukraine right now (although that might also happen on top), but where there are several occurances of simultaneous, extreme unrest and even civil wars. Especially with climate change around the corner, where solidarity is much more in need … And then I think that maybe that's a good thing in the long run, as sad and unfortunate as it is: if lots of people die, that will radically shift some people's thinking and values for the better. Right? I feel like that's what has often happened historically, in one way or another. That's just nature's course: that new generations of people grow up in peaceful times, not realizing how good they have it; that they are more and more dissatisfied with that life; that it somehow comes to a violent conflict; and that wars make people reevaluate the things in life. — But the internet is a new parameter in this. There has nothing been like this before, so I don't know if it will work out differently because of it. — … I guess you can see that as a "pub mate's" random therapeutic rambling. -
Saved!NodleyEditing … Great reply, and exactly what we'd chat about down the pub in real life. We're definitely thinking along the same lines, I have thought about it all coming to a head at some point too. Society as we know it can't continue, something needs to change or it will destroy itself. Whether we recognise it and fix it ourselves or just let it run it's course is another thing entirely. I don't think we will be allowed to fix it though, you try suggesting something online and all you get is hate from one group, another group don't want to lose what they think they're entitled to, another group will have nothing to win or lose but will get offended just for the sake of getting offended. So any genuinely good ideas get shot down or people just don't voice them because of this.
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Another thing the internet has ruined. In the old days you could disagree with people but still stay friends, you saw each other every day and just agreed to disagree. Online there's no real consequences for anything so people rage harder and then never speak to the person again.
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … I don’t think it’s something we can fix like that. I think it’s the whole structure of the internet that has this baked in. You’d have to strip the tech monopolies of their power, make sure the government does not get involved and make the internet completely open and then maybe try to talk to each other. The craziness is also bleeding into real life. There are so many things you can’t say. I really have to watch my word choice or I will upset my classmates. They are so incredibly sensitive but also intolerant of other ideas and they don’t even realise it. They are nice people but it’s hard to have a real conversation with them if you have to mind everything you say. The internet was a safe haven for people who did not fit in. A place where weirdos found each other and it was good. But then the real world that those people were escaping from came to the internet. It’s like the two worlds merged and brought the bad from both sides together. I really liked it when people made their own websites and their own communities. Now the internet has become a place mostly for consumption and not for creation. I too was a weird kid and I still am. As a teen I spent way too much time online. Even when I thought it was my escape it actually made my life worse in the end because I did not have to confront the things in my life that I was having difficulty with. I am not on the internet as much as most people now and I really could do without the internet if I had to but I still don’t feel like I’m fully in control of the time I spend online. I do my best but it is very easy to get into a spiral of finding new things online, new video’s new this and that and new information. But when I stop and think most of what I do online is not really contributing to my life or to anything and finding new interesting stuff does not really make me happy it’s just amusing me in the moment. I made a little shelf to put my laptop on so it’s not on my desk all the time. It helps me a lot. Somehow it makes it easier for me to think. It helps me to set clearer boundaries between real life and the internet. I check the internet in the morning and evening and I try to keep it at that but it’s damn easy to get stuck on the internet. I can’t believe they let kids grow up without educating them how to manage their internet usage. If I as an adult am having a hard time keeping it in check how do we expect kids to deal with something so addictive that also has their social relations tied to it? It’s a recipe for mental health problems. I’m happy I somehow was able to cultivate a somewhat healthy distance from the internet but man do I worry about the kids and teens. I see many kids in the train scrolling through tiktok the entire 1,5 hours. All I see on their screens is twerking teens and people making weird faces. Tiktok just has to be the worst invention known to man. Please burn it for me.
