ASUS crash. Taylor Swift Communism. IBM is racist and connected to Hitler? On my to do list is to put out books/websites to archive and outline examples of how to deal with the trolls and the fake news be it on Discord, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, other social media networks, websites, apps, so on and so forth. Fish wouldn't have met those people in my Discord Server had I not made my Discord Server, Fish has the fish balls to say this on one hand and yet beg me to delete my server on the other hand.

Why do people join my Discord Server but refuse to read what I wrote in the different channels there? I left many messages all over the place. They don't read it and then they wonder why I don't come back to my server and write even more. But what's the point? Joe Biden sent millions of people to prison for doing what his son Hunter did?

Lolcow Trolls will be locked up in dungeons in our Discord Server come 2024, new people should be redirected to general chat when they first join so they can be properly welcomed/introduced to Oatmeal Lore. Currently, if you join, trolls will lie about me & pressure you to leave.

ASUS Crash

2023-12-16 - Saturday - 08:16 PM - My Laptop Log.

My 2021 ASUS laptop crashed at this time, did not respond to external or internal/built-in laptop keyboard keys or mice even if pressed for a long time like 20+ second with CTRL+ALT+DEL to shut off. Only holding on the power button for 20 seconds forced it off. I bought this laptop off Amazon in 2021. I noticed it would freeze at least since 2022 and have written about it in my logs since 2022. I have been using this laptop a lot or more often since like October of 2022. I think it has been freezing maybe only a few times since maybe July of 2023. But previous like ten months or whatever it more like once a week or once a month it would freeze. Perhaps updates patched up the hardware/software issues that cauzes it to freeze. But I may not know if it freezes due to hardware, software, OS, CPU, GPU, AMD, NVIDIA, Ubuntu Mint Mate, etc. I recently upgraded and updated software around November/December 2023 as in past few weeks. I think then it froze maybe three or less times in past several weeks. Before that I was not updating my OS since like June or July or whatever it was. Check the logs for exact dates but I thought it did not freeze as often. This laptop was on my Yoga laptop and maybe got too hot. Not sure but I moved my Yoga so ASUS can sit directly on my laptop fan. We will see if that helps. Last log entry was from August 2023, at that time I switched modes. I wrote: "Good news. One thing that might minimize or eliminate how often my laptop freezes. I switched the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphic driver from the on-demand mode to the performance mode. People reported that the on-demand mode caused their computers to freeze." I think that helped a little.

Discord Drama

2023-12-16 - Saturday - 12:28 AM - Discord Server.

One of my goals for 2024 is to attract Team Humanity freedom lovers to run my Discord Server. 12:36 AM. On my to do list is to put out books/websites to archive and outline examples of how to deal with the trolls and the fake news be it on Discord, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, other social media networks, websites, apps, so on and so forth.

01:08 AM
For those running our Discord Server, my suggestion for 2024 is to demote trolls/non-verified and try to only promote above admin people who:

Helps us
Helps others
And/or helps themselves

Looking for people to help me do the following:

Archive my stuff
Outline my stuff
Create teaser/intro trailers/websites
Create a chat bot
Websites/video games

01:11 AM
Fish doesn't like Billy Breaker's Arnold Attic. 01:25 AM. Archiving update, been organizing through my Hawaii Drive. There are other HDDs I'm trying to resurrect. Copied content from floppy disks. Outside of that, been unable to locate my 2006 sermon video, Ella, Back & Ready to Roll. Trying to rescue discs. List goes on and on. 01:35 PM. Who wants to see me not screenshot Fish for a day to see Fish who owes me money for losing a bet flip and flop like a real fish, big changes coming, trolls must get our Discord Server to 1K members before 2024 before I'll consider their demands or else. Rule number one in dealing with trolls like Fish in my Discord Server, refer to them in third-person because they're more an idea than a personal entity. Conservatives were fired from many jobs, especially these past few years, freedom lovers must unite to hire each other, work with each other. When trolls like Fish lie, you can correct the record cuz others are watching. But eventually you gotta move on as trolls are broken/stuck. Fish wrote: "Alex (Gout Riddled) Jones have employed very expensive PR departments." Trolls will literally make stuff up. When dealing with trolls, it's difficult if you don't know the truth yourself about the topics at hand. Watch out & move on baby. Almost daily in my Discord Server from like July to the 4th of December of 2023, like five months consecutively, I would message and ping everybody like 57 times each day. Fish, Socks12, and others said I will always do that every single day. I kept saying I left. 02:01 PM. I'm more likely to interact with creative trolls who can help bring out Oatmeal Lore. One of my goals for 2024 is to transition away from trolls like Fish who is way too lazy to make the Fake Oatmeal News imaginatively engaging which would at least add fictional layer/allure/allegory which could be used for the lore creatively. Karla Villa is a case in point which proves that Fish is not only a troll but a scam because anybody who knows anything about me knows all about Karla as there are videos on the Internet everywhere all about it which proves that Fish is more retarded than Alex Jones. 02:54 AM. How do people Internet, I don't get it, how do you enter a Discord Server without knowing what it is before you engage, people must be zombies. I've been spoon-feeding surface-level trolls like Fish for years, this is the evidence of how they refuse to do deep research/investigation but instead will react to whatever is directly on the screen/I've successfully click-bait/scammed Fish into an endless feedback-loop paradox. If you join my Discord Server, trolls like Fish will lie about me, beg you to leave, and most people will simply comply like they did with masks/vaccines. If there's enough interest, I'm considering compiling outlines of the Fake Oatmeal News to debunk, we're talking websites, videos, and whatever else to better summarize and unpack allegations. Did you know I was on television? 03:33 AM. I'd be tempted to do longer videos, articles, and whatever else if more people screenshot, soundbite, clip, quote, reference, click-bait, and whatever else me more often; the more interest and interaction I get, the more tempted to do longer-form content I get/become. Good luck. Fish thought I'd be back pinging everybody in a day but here we are 10+ days/who wants to bet Fish would continue having a fake conversation with my Discord Server bot who asks about Karla Villa/even if I stopped screenshoting Fish to Twitter for weeks/I bet Fish would still flop. Do I have to spoon-feed you everything? Walt Disney around a century ago allegedly stole art from his coworker and copyrighted it, I'm against the weaponization and monopoly tyranny involved. Fish scares people away from my Discord Server and then wonders why they left, geez I wonder. If it turns out Fish is actually Roy Merrick in disguise, I'd be not be surprise as they both believe I've done nothing since like 2009 or pick a year. Fish wouldn't have met those people in my Discord Server had I not made my Discord Server, Fish has the fish balls to say this on one hand and yet beg me to delete my server on the other hand. 04:42 AM. I bet Fish a million dollars I wouldn't respond on Discord. Fish lost the bet and owes me money. Hoodbarber said he was leaving my Discord Server for good like only a week ago, he left, and then he came back just like that. 04:48 AM. Why do people join my Discord Server but refuse to read what I wrote in the different channels there? I left many messages all over the place. They don't read it and then they wonder why I don't come back to my server and write even more. But what's the point? I've been online for 26+ years since like 1997. 11:38 AM. I let trolls lie about me in my Discord Server because there might be some truth in what they say and it offers a window into how others might see me: their perspective, opinions, questions, criticism, concerns. If I ban the Oatmeal Fake News, then that would create BLACK MARKETS. 11:52 AM. Lolcow Trolls will be locked up in dungeons in our Discord Server come 2024, new people should be redirected to general chat when they first join so they can be properly welcomed/introduced to Oatmeal Lore. Currently, if you join, trolls will lie about me & pressure you to leave. 01:53 PM. Feel free to come to my fan club on Discord to rant, vent, confess, complain, debate, chat, talk via webcams, audio, memes, spam, troll, lie, gossip, teach, learn. I think I created a hate server. Patriots love Trump and Haley is a monster. 01:57 PM: promoted this Discord account @ quickdashattack because I appreciate honesty. The Discord Challenge. How long can you last in my server before my trolls scare you away? How do you not know my username? Fish thought I'd be back pinging and messaging everybody in my Discord Server like a million times each and every day like I used to, Fish thought I couldn't go without doing that for longer than a day, but here we are 10+ days later, I won the bet, Fish owes me money. 05:54 PM. Around twenty fake Oatmeal Parody Accounts were on my Discord Server in November of 2023, the top parody accounts will be rewarded and promoted, this is an open invitation, I get no love? For almost ten years since 2014, my username on social media has been @ joeyarnoldvn and I have been telling everybody this everywhere on all the websites for only the past decade or longer, it's only common sense to know one's URL username not to be confused with display names. 08:48 PM. Not much of a gamble if I already won the bet and now Fish already owes me money as Fish lost, I literally am from the year 2024, I went back in time to tell everybody Fish has already lost the million dollar bet, we all know I won the bet, I did what I said I would do.

Oatmeal lore

06:34 PM

Oatmeal Lore begins once upon in a forest, Oatmeal Billy Breaker, who might be an alien, is adopted into the Arnold Attic of the Ojawall Bumbaloe Ghetto of Rose Grove in Forest Grove, Oregon, USA, in 1985. After that, he is homeschooled by M&M, not @Eminem. Dead Wing Dork featured one of my videos from like 2011 with a click-bait title featuring Beyonce and Lady Gaga, don't ask anybody about Sharon Clayton.

How to stop election fraud, call it identity theft

"Sheriff, I'm a victim of identity theft." Don't talk about election fraud. Below, I've included a 39-step guide on what to do if they tell you that you already voted on election day which is on Tuesday, the 5th day of November of 2024. Statistically this will likely happen to you even if you didn't already vote. There is a high probability this will happen because it already happened thousands of times in 2020 and 2022 in states like California.

Outline
Here is an outline of what you can do:

Request for an absentee ballot to be sent to you by mail but don't open it
Vote in person on election day, don't show them your absentee ballot
If they say you already voted, contact your sheriff
Have your sheriff come to document identity theft
Don't say election fraud at a polling location, say it's a retail place
Show your sheriff your absentee ballot but don't surrender it
Vote in person via a provisional ballot

Let me provide more details as follows. Request an absentee mail-in ballot. Don't open it. Try to vote on election day. But if they say you already voted even when you haven't, contact your sheriff. Don't call 911. Say it's a non-emergency. Say you witnessed identity theft at a retail location. Don't say you're at a ballot location. Request the sheriff to come. Tell the sheriff your story. Have the sheriff ask the staff who will repeat that you already voted even as you didn't. After that, pull out your unopened absentee ballot to show the sheriff but then keep that ballot as by law it's your property and you don't have to surrender it. Your sheriff has the power to open up a proper investigation on your identity theft and seize ballot boxes.

Also, they can give you a provisional ballot so you can vote in person. But without the help of the sheriff, they're not going to count your provisional ballot but will instead just count the fake absentee ballot vote which didn't actually come from you as you didn't already vote even if they said you already voted. So, vote in person on election day via a provisional ballot if they say you already voted even as you haven't already voted. Make sure your sheriff knows you were a victim of identity theft.

Do not say voting fraud or election theft or anything political like that. Just say identity theft because it was identity theft. And keep your unopened absentee mail-in ballot as evidence of the crime of identity theft which they committed against you. Scroll down to see these 39 steps in more details below as follows. Share this with everyone you know, and as Elon Musk of Twitter X said, with everyone you don't know as well.

If these videos (above) were removed off YouTube, then click here to watch that first video on Rumble Video or you can search for the video yourself, it's from podcast number 62 where Roseanne Barr talks with Jovan Pulitzer

How can Americans fight absentee/mail-in ballot fraud?

1. Request for an absentee mail-in ballot

No matter who you are, this article is for you, whether you're voting for Donald John Trump, Joe Biden, Michelle Obama of Barack Obama, Oatmeal Joey Arnold, Kamala Harris or anybody else. This may even apply if you're not even voting at all because you may find out they voted in your name even as you don't even vote at all. They may have stolen your identity by forging your name on ballots to pretend you voted when really you didn't. This affects red and blue states. And remember that blue states are only blue in a few of the largest cities as the countryside is red.

2. Don't open your absentee ballot

Do not open it when it comes in the mail, do not tamper with it. Make sure you keep the envelope unopened. Make sure you don't remove postal stamps if there are any off the exterior of the envelope. You want to preserve it in the same condition you received it in. Hold onto it.

3. Don't open others either

If you received a ballot but didn't request one, don't open that either. Keep everything version that is sent to you. This is your evidence.

4. Vote in person on election day

Vote in person on election day which is Tuesday, the 5th day of November of 2024 (that is this current year right now).

5. Bring your unopened absentee ballot

Bring with you your unopened absentee ballot but vote in person at a voting location.

6. They might say you already voted

When you try to vote in person, then they might say sorry you already voted even if you have not yet voted. Do not panic as they're simply relaying to you what they're being told. You know you haven't voted (assuming if you haven't voted) but they only know what they see on computers or wherever they get their information from. There is a high statistical probability they'll say you already voted since this has happened a lot in 2020 and 2022 in states like California in the United States of America (USA).

7. Don't bitch

Don't whine, complain, yell, panic, go crazy. Stay calm. Don't get mad as this is not a personal attack against you personally. Stay reserved and focused. Don't say words like fraud and stuff.

8. Say, "Can you repeat that to me?"

They'll say it again that you already voted even when you haven't.

9. Request for a provisional ballot

They'll give you a provisional ballot form you can fill out which lets you vote and it means they might investigate it. Well, actually, they'll count the mail-in ballot and not count the provisional ballot as it might be hard to know whether or not you already voted by mail or not. So they'll just count the absentee mail-in ballot even if it was not sent from you. Like even if you didn't vote by mail, they'll count the ballot they received which came by mail in your name.

10. Ask for the supervisor

As they hand you the provisional ballot, calmly ask for the supervisor to confirm that the computer system shows you already voted.

11. Ask the supervisor to double check

Let the supervisor know you did not already vote by mail. Ask the supervisor to double check everything.

12. The supervisor will

The supervisor will check and confirm that you already voted even tho you actually didn't. The supervisor will tell you the same thing the other staff already said, that you already voted even as you didn't because they're only as good as the data they're given. And the data may say you already voted even as you didn't.

13. Step aside

Hold onto the provisional ballot and step aside.

14. Call your sheriff

Call your sheriff or a non-emergency line to your local sheriff department.

15. Do NOT call 911

Remember to NOT call 911.

16. Don't call cops

Do not call regular cops or police, you want to contact your sheriff.

17. Say it's NOT an emergency

When you call for the sheriff, say it's NOT an emergency.

18. Report identity theft

Tell your sheriff you need to report identity theft, tell the sheriff you are a victim of identity theft but it's unique.

19. At a retail place

Tell your sheriff you are standing at a retail place.

20. Not a ballot place

Do not tell your sheriff you're at a voting place. It may technically be a retail place even if it's called a voting location. Do not tell your sheriff you're at a polling place.

21. You witnessed identity theft

Tell your sheriff you watched the identity theft happen right in front of and before your very eyes in person in real life (IRL) and that you are still at that retail location where the identity theft occurred.

22. Ask for a dispatch

Say you need a deputy dispatched or sent to where you are to deal with the identity theft.

23. Don't say anything political or crazy

Remember to tell them your location is retail and not a polling place. You want to make sure the sheriff department know over the phone that you actually watched somebody steal your identity. It was an act of identity theft. Someone has stolen your identity. Don't talk about election meddling, voter fraud, stop the steal, election theft, voting machines, China, Dominion, Mike Lindell's My Pillow, Donald Trump, Infowars's Alex Jones, Roseanne Barr, Tim Pool's Timcast, or other people and things. Just say identity theft because it was identity theft. It's that simple. It's not a conspiracy theory.

24. Wait

Wait for the sheriff to show up.

25. Tell the sheriff your story

The sheriff will find you, tell the sheriff your story that they said you already voted even when you didn't.

26. The sheriff will ask the staff

The sheriff will ask the staff and supervisor if you voted already or not.

27. The staff will confirm

The staff and supervisor will tell the sheriff what they already told you before that you already voted even as you didn't.

28. Pull out your absentee ballot

After that, pull out your absentee mail-in ballot and show it to your sheriff as evidence you didn't already vote yet.

29. Tell the sheriff what you are holding

Tell the sheriff you are holding your mail-in ballot.

30. That it's unopened

Tell the sheriff your ballot was not even opened, still in the original envelope it came in, it was unopened, it was not tampered with at all.

31. That you're a VICTIM of identity theft

Tell your sheriff you were a victim of identity theft as somebody voted in your name.

32. Demand a report

Tell your sheriff you demand a report right now on the spot, at the scene of the crime for the books, for the record.

33. Don't surrender it

Do not surrender your absentee ballot, you do not have to give anybody your ballot as it's your property. Keep it. Hold onto your ballot. You're NOT required by law to surrender your absentee ballot.
