In this world there are these weird little dickheads who
think that they have some kind of magical powers manipulating others
to do their bidding. They spend their days making people around them
dance like marionettes in a sick little play that only they find
funny. The sad truth about manipulators is their machinations are only
powerful and effective in their own mind.
If you read my previous blog post about Matthew Kaufman
it may have sounded like Matt was in trouble. He was threatened and
thrown out of his apartment by some big evil bad man. Matt promptly
disappeared and potentially could have been hurt. He was a ghost who
simply left a bizarre panic ridden voice mail for me.
At the time I debated even doing anything. This Matt character could
need help, or he could just be a manipulator trying to use me
as some kind of blunt weapon against his enemy. This is why I took
my time trying to help the guy. I had the feeling he was playing
a game, but after debating it and gathering the evidence I decided
to try and help.
You see, if I did nothing, there was a chance that Matthew could
have been dead. If he had died and I could have helped him then
I would have hated myself.
Today however, someone who read my blog post finally got access
to his twitter feeds and sent me this tweet from him:
That means he’s alive, probably doing well, and is now on my fucking
shit list.
I’m more than willing to help out a total stranger who needs my help,
so long as it doesn’t involve me handing them money or risking my life.
Hell, I’ve stopped fights between random people many times, putting
my self at risk. I’ve pulled battered women out of abusive relationships.
Helped kids who were being beaten by bullies. I got no problem stepping
up and protecting the weaker ones in our world.
When someone takes advantage of this by trying to manipulate me they
are seriously fucking with the wrong guy. Here’s a tweet from Matt
on the 25th:
That’s when this dick fucker gave me the call. His crazy ass probably
read some fucking essay of mine and concocted this wild pussy ass passive
aggressive scheme to get back at his arch nemesis Michael. Matt
probably sat in a big chair with a high back and black leather
stroking his feminine fucking fingers together saying, “Yes, yes,
dance my minions. Dance!”
I knew there was a good chance he was fucking with me, but I had
no way to find out unless someone who knew him had evidence he was
alright. A good long series of fairly happy tweets over the last
few days says he’s doing just fine.
He doesn’t need my help at all, what he needs is a severe ass
kicking.
Which brings me to my favorite thing about manipulators:
All passive aggressive manipulators are pussies.Anytime you meet that guy who thinks he’s some fucking criminal
mastermind who manipulates you into doing his bidding, just remember
that. One good punch in the fucking nose and he’ll realize that
he actually doesn’t have control over anyone.
In Matt’s case, I better find an apology in my fucking email queue or a
very nice voice mail. It is seriously uncool to make people think
you are hurt when you are not.
And, I’m still not the A-Team.
More Reasons Why Reddit Blows
If you just take this story on Hacker News
vs the same On Reddit
you’ll start to realize why Reddit is a total joke. I don’t even bother
reading Reddit, and usually just wait until a friend sends me a link to
something stupid redditors are saying. In this case, you can clearly see
that the folks who participate in Hacker News are worth listening to:
The majority of the comments are well thought out, longer than just a
single sentence, and either debate the topic or try to help.
Meanwhile, we have the whore’s cunt known as reddit:
Zed’s dead, baby. — Canadian_InfidelThe majority of the comments are one-liners with stupid fucking jokes
about the A-Team and me being the Z-Team. Oh, hahahahaha, such comic
fucking genius. No, they don’t even try to mask their collective
stupidity and instead just skip right over the fact that someone needed to
be found and into unoriginal middle school quality gag humor.
I’ve said it before, but all those morons do is provide entertainment
for the smarter people in the room. Their stupid one-liner “commentary”
is not a part of the conversation. It’s not social media. All it
amounts to is the maximum their dipshit little ADD infested brains
can handle in focus.
Their one-line comments are insignificant when compared
with the real conversation happening amongst the one-percenters out there.
BTW, reddit-whores, in NYC if you call 311 to ask for anything related
to the police they transfer you to 911. 911 is basically the NYPD’s
main contact, and is designed to take insane amounts of calls and route
them fast and efficient. Unlike your podunk little shit-hole town
where the whole emergency system can be knocked out by two crank callers
and a homeless guy pissing on the building.
