Me: LOL PUA tactics. Good luck out there.

Him: You apparently think guys that criticize you on legitimate grounds are hitting on you. Were you hitting on me when you implied that I was a bad father?

Me: God you're an emotional little shit. Don't make me block you.

So I unfriended some MRA/PUA dude I picked up on TDS like an STD because I just don't need that shit on my wall, and the following chat conversation ensued:

Him: So you dump me as a friend because i disagree with you on one issue?

Me: No, it's mostly because I think you're kind of a toxic creep and I don't have time for that.I gave it the old college try... but no, thanks.

Him: You really didn't. I have kept freinds for years that i fundamentally disagreed with on issues on both sides. The bottom line is the ones that ran were the ones that did not really want their view of the world fundamentally challanged. Sorry, I thought yu were stronger than that.

Me: Dude, I don't even know you.

Him: You seem to think you know me well enough to cut off communication.

Me: I am chatting right now with a friend I have had for 22 years and he does a great job of challenging my worldview, but is not a slightly creepy, pushy stranger.

Him: Well now you are making vague emotional accusation at me so I guess it is a lost cause. Bye.

I love the negging at the end. :lulz:

Is that the michael milchakwhatever guy?

After 5 years without hearing a peep from my best friend of yore, Larry (formerly known here as the mountain monk), he calls me out of the blue.  Which is good.

One of the next trips I make is to a company that is 3 miles from his house.  Which is good.

His wife, however, died at the ripe old age of 41 this last January.  She had some weird Crohns thing, and for whatever reason had her on immune suppressants, and she died from the flu.  Which is bad.  I never met her in person, but we'd talked several times and she seemed really, really nice.

.

That really sucks. :( About the wife, but good that your friend got hold of you.

CREEEEEEEPTASTIC. The part about how apparently, by his logic, I shouldn't unfriend him because I don't know him well enough to decide whether I want to be his friend (ie. the "YOU OWE ME A CHANCE" gambit) was my favorite.

But based on his earlier writing, you owe him a chance to do what?  FOOL HIM INTO KNOCKING YOU UP, SO YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFE OF REILLY ON HIS DIME, BECAUSE THAT'S THE SORT OF JET-SETTING THAT GOES ON WITH SINGLE MOTHERS.

Why is he so self-destructive?  He should be hiding from women at all times, in case they trick him into sex again.

Nothing works.  Yeah, this particular one is off the vendor list.

In an earlier conversation, he offered to help me with my homework, offered me some incredibly rudimentary advice about attending college, and then told me that I "seem like a smart cookie".

I seriously think he thinks he's being charming. He's probably seething right now about how I have no right to reject him because he's such a nice guy.

And that's awful, because nowdays he has nowhere to turn from that sort of abuse.

I found that on his wall.  There wasn't anything about women's shelters, strangely enough.

Also, this shelter, in the pic (which, granted, only shows the front door) looks a little more posh than some shelters I have seen.

Although men are also victims of domestic violence without a doubt, I am skeptical about that shelter guy because he was involved in men's rights groups, which seem almost entirely to be about blaming women in general and not about increasing equality.

It's interesting that he blamed his inability to get Federal funds on the fact that he ran a shelter for men. I suspect it had a lot more to do with the structure of his organization. There are men's halfway houses  that receive government funding, so the "it's because they were discriminating against men" thing is a little thin.

An hour later, after he's had time to calm down and come up with something he thinks is cool and collected:

QuoteIf you block me, that is your decision. I am not responsible for your decisions.

:lol:

I haven't blocked him yet because it's funny watching him try to keep my attention.

I'll probably just ignore him from here on out though. Unless something hilarious occurs to me.

My sister made national sports headlines today cutting hair for the  Rays for their annual fundraiser to benefit kids with cancer. Naturally, I am never going to be as awesome as her now, because not only was she on ESPN, NESN, Sunshine Network, MLB Network, and all the internets, she also complained that she doesn't have enough money to compete this year, so it's way way way more important to raise money for her to hit her taekwondo qualifiers and that we absolutely need to find her a sponsor.

Oh, I got into grad school. How nice. I hope they don't have to help me pay for it, because they can't afford it.

...So I told my dad that I hope he relies on my sister's waning athleticism to take care of them when they get old, because I can't afford it. Mom found this HYSTERICAL.   :lulz:

I passed my security test. I am one step closer to a temporary existence as a rent-a-pig. I apologize if this shatters anyone's impression of me. And I weep if it doesn't.

Welcome to the club.

Incidentally, this town is such a shithole.  While riding back from work, I saw a pile of vomit, some blood splatter and a crushed up bottle of Lucozade, and my first thought was "well, at least someone had fun last night".

Cain,
did not have fun last night.

I may have to steal that.   :lulz:

He influenced a lot of my drumming growing up.

That blows.  How old was he?
