Absolutely. There are those with licenses for mental health and other professionals online. I only watch these things only through someone else's commentary.

Would I feel comfortable knowing someone who I pay for is spreading degeneracy, sexual preferences (such as more NSFW content), their friends, and what they do much in their home life? Absolutely not! It is more than what I want to see. Especially, if I see my own therapist doing stuff like this.

[@TheGoIsWin21]

As someone who's been around users, it sounds an awful lot like a guy who's trying to turn things around after being forced to see how bad shit got, while still keeping how bad it got secret. He knows he fucked up, but doesn't want the world to see it. I've seen it a bunch with people, and, hell, while nowhere near as bad or extreme, have experienced myself. It's shame and regret. Hopefully, it actually sticks and he turns things around

[@ravenzyblack]

He’s super arrogant. He hasn’t even hit rock-bottom yet. He’s not trying to turn anything around. He’s just trying to keep up appearances.

the only people i feel sorry for in this situation are his children. hopefully his kids are taken care of by a more stable household. addiction can ruin families. edit: grammar stuffs.

Exactly, The man made his choices. He didn't have to drink so heavily that he was always drunk. Didn't have to take cocaine. He didn't have to defend indefensible positions. He made those choices.

[@sm-dc7ck]

​​@@Phil.Anthropyagree with you. Metokur did a 4hr20min stream focused on Rekieta the Saturday after the arrest. Jim rightfully calls out Rekieta, but doesn't seem to hate him. Iirc, Rekieta was the one to start the 'bad blood' because he blamed Jim for the montegraph situation (Jim only introduced Nick to montegraph). The last 20 min or so of the metokur stream really give the impression that Jim is mourning the loss and downfall of someone he once viewed as a friend. Nick basically threw away a financially sound familiy of five in a supportive community (something many would dream of) for drugs and degeneracy. Jim has terminal cancer and will never live that life. He recognizes how valuable it is.

[@Th3Kingism]

@@Neverknot47 Jim didn't dislike Nick at first, he actually liked that Nick seemed to have a normal life with his wife and kids and was being successful as a lawtuber. When Nick started transitioning to being a lolcow Jim came to be disappointed in him, I don't think he really turned entirely until it was revealed that Nick was being accused of child neglect, Jim hates people that abuse children like any normal person should.

[@StarKnight619]

I hits on VERY personal level with me. A ex-friend of mine started drugs I told them and intervened twice. The final time I was told to dig a whole and put myself in the forever box. Never spoke to him again, I dont even know if he's alive. I tried multiple times and way more than his own family did but nothing came of it. Did it hurt? damn right it did, I knew him for over 10 years and everything is destroyed.

It's like that scene from family guy where satan is in hell and asks if anyone's a lawyer and everyone raises their hand.

[@flarestorm9417]

To be fair, a lawyer being a degenerate with massive alcoholism, drug use, and poly relationship activities is a bit more extreme than what people expect. Especially since a lot of this was either public or semi-public. You'd think if a lawyer was doing drugs they'd at least keep that to themselves.

[@kikithepupper6774]

Lawyers sell parts of their soul already, no surprise

[@deepstatethrombosis]

God damn man, I used to watch Nick almost every damn night around the time of gamer gate and the lolsuit , then all the way up to and through the Rittenhouse and Depp trials. Then...he disappeared. When I saw him again, I was pretty bummed. I'm in recovery and I could see the use all over his face and hear it in his voice. My man needs rehab, a great lawyer and to stay offline for a good, long time so he doesn't lose his kids, his wife, and his life. Good luck, Nick, buddy. It sucks, but you can do it.

[@DrPooks]

Nick didn't really disappear after Depp, he mostly just stopped covering daytime trialstreams entirely since winter 2023. He did get more inconsistent with his night streams as his addiction got worse. But he mostly was forgotten about by his daytime trial livestream audience because he just stopped doing it as he changed from legal to degeneracy content.

[@deepstatethrombosis]

@@DrPooks I guess I didn't really mean "disappear", I was hyperbolizing more than anything. When he pretty much streamed on Rumble for a while and he wasn't popping up in my YT notifications.

@@deepstatethrombosis That's actually a fair point. I hadn't factored in the Rumble switch exclusivity deal.

[@ravenzyblack]

He has no intention of leaving the Internet. As a matter fact he says he’s revamping his KZbin channel. I don’t actually think he’s hit rock bottom yet, and that’s the worst part. He’s still in the denial phase.

[@deepstatethrombosis]

@@ravenzyblack unfortunately, you're probably right. His reality is probably even more distorted because he's watched so many lolcows get torn apart online and he considers himself way above them. Rock bottom is going to be a cold, hard slab of concrete. Just sucks to watch someone I respect(ed) so much get in so deep. He's hanging on a tiny rock with one hand, dangling over the edge of a 300 foot cliff and still thinks he could pull himself back up over the edge any time he wants. Instead, it's more likely he'll fall and land Balldo first.

[@PorkiFerret]

The mention of increased and prolonged breaks to use the bathroom actually made my heart sink. That’s EXACTLY what I remember my father doing back when he was still alive. And I still had to see him due to the courts in my state failing to notice he wasn’t fit to be a parent despite the continued efforts of my mother’s side to fight against this. Similar to Nick, he would refuse to take any drug tests and although I can understand that it’s a given right to deny it, I can’t help but wonder if there should be some exceptions made. I feel a deep pain for the children. A story like this hits a little close to home and despite what I had went through, I still believe that those who fall to the disease of addiction can recover and make changes to their life for the better. I do hope that Nick and his wife are recovering and doing well, even if he denies that there was neglect in the first place. It’s hard for some to admit they hit rock bottom, but there can still be a way to climb back up.

[@ravenzyblack]

Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s actually hit rock-bottom yet. He’s still in the denial phase. In his own mind, he doesn’t have a problem with drinking or drugs. It’s everybody else, apparently we are all just out to get him. It’s sad because he really was a great YT lawyer, who was “lawsplaining” the internet. If only he could get back to that and leave the booze, drugs, and orgies behind.
