RCM hits a new low

WTF? You told me how good the half-eaten Big Macs were, that you pulled from a Dumpster, a decade ago.

That gives "well aged beef" a whole new meaning :-)

The tale was a lengthy one:

========================================== Ive commented before on Eds occasional flashes of utter naivate. This thread is a new one. And speaks volumes about his elitism and arrogance. Unfortunately.

Shrug..Lets just hope its a New Joisey thing....

Btw...never eat the fish out of a dumpster. Tends to spoil much too fast. Veggies are better as is the breads and meats cooked Well.

========================================== And yes, Ive eaten out of dumpsters more than once..and was damned happy to do so.

==========================================

And for a classic Gunner tale about why he ate out of Dumpsters, there is this classic:

But, as an elitist who is prepared to starve before he'd eat out of Dumpsters, I have to remark that Gunner's tip about not eating fish out of them could be useful to a few folks who have passed through here. d8-)

Wieber has never dumpster-dived, although by rights he ought to have done. Wieber is on food stamps and Medi-Cal (Medicaid to the rest of the country.) Wieber is the consummate dole scrounger. He pretends to be a conservative, but he suckles at the public teat all month long.

Nobody. And as any sensible reader can plainly see, I said you

See, you just did it again. All BS. You didn't kill anyone, and you don't appear to have any real friends at all, much less any who would kill for you. For example, people with good friends don't need to dumpster dive.

Do yourself a favor. Instead of blasting out "loafs" of diversionary crap, just answer the simple questions asked.

Where are your computer wiener friends, and your murder squad friends? You've written dozens of detailed descriptions of my death. How many more years will your associates wait for you to write the perfect recipe, before they finally take action?

The only questions are, was he lying then, or is he lying now, or did he lie both times? :)

"So I went dumpster diving. And I sat in a house with no gas or electricity and ate my dumpster food, and shared it with my dogs and cats. We all were happy to have food. For two weeks."

Now he says he only gets guns from dumpsters. But what's a $75 an hour guy doing in dumpsters in the first place? The fantasies of Wieberworld never make any sense. What does make sense is that Wieber knows all the best dumpsters from which to rescue crap he can take home or to the scrapyard. Jibes perfectly with the observable facts of his subsistence lifestyle, need for charity, and decades of debt.

To be fair, he said that guns are the only things he's *not* found in dumpsters. I initially missed that, too.

However, whenever he brings up dumpsters (should be capitalized, because it's a trade name, but what the hell...), I remember that genuinely absurd string of tales, and some n*****ts who defended Gunner by swooning over the quality of strawberry shortcake he finds in dumpsters himeself. Gunner attracts some real nutcases who support him.

It looks like you're still locked into facts, logic and common sense. In terms of reading their posts, I've moved on. Most of the discussions in the survivalist NGs, which includes Gunner and all of their cross-postings here, are a window into the new tribalism, where truth and civility are meaningless, where insults are the favored currency, and where attitude is everything.

I've joked about posting and reading in alt.survival about taking notes for cultural anthropology , but really, that's all that's worth the time -- getting some insights into what's happened to thought and fact-finding. It's pretty disturbing, but it's less disorienting than wondering why it's considered acceptable to threaten others' lives over political disagreements.

The real neck-snapper for me occurred a few years ago, when Larry, who generally is pretty mild-mannered, suggested that we should threaten elected representatives with guns if they don't adhere to policies that amount to those of the Tea Party. I really couldn't believe it and I asked him a couple of times is he was serious. He said he was.

Aside from the people who really are here to discuss metalworking (a dwindling number), most of the rest -- and, numerically, most are cross-posters from the nutbag NGs -- really are nuts.

Oh well, he'll soon enough contradict himself to match the knocks, assuming he hasn't already. :) He seems to be unable to grasp the contradiction between the $75 an hour black tie talk, and dumpster scrounging.

Not many supporting him these days though. Some of the RCM knuckledraggers were Okay with 2 decades of deadbeatitis, but had to draw the line when it stretched out to three in real time. :)

Too bad attitude isn't legal currency. Then some of these dolts wouldn't be discussing their scrounged computers and crappy Internet connections. I had to chuckle when I read a complaint about the high price of multitools. An astronomical 60 bucks or some such. A new measure of low-end retirement. :) Meanwhile, I am the Warren Buffett of multitool purchasing apparently. I carry an expensive one, and when it broke I though nothing about buying a second one to use while waiting for the first to be repaired... for free of course, because that's how Warren would handle it. :)

The threats are crazy enough, but the absurdity goes into another dimension when Wieber complains bitterly that folks are mean to him, except when he's boasting about how much he enjoys folks being mean to him.

Many more are serious about stuff like that. If not quite dumb enough to talk about it outright, more than dumb enough to make it obvious from their comments.

... but fun to read sometimes. The variations on Hillary bashing are the best, but soon to be overtaken by JFK stuff it appears.

And yet you always take offense when people accuse you of being a scrounger. You're leaving little doubt it's your primary occupation.

Needing to corroborate your own stories is lame.

"Some are..most are true. Its up the the reader to decide."

It's decided. Your word is worthless.

The only deaths around here will be from natural causes. And you're first in line because you're too weak to quit your self destructive habits. Oh wait, is it still natural causes when one ODs on nicotine, caffeine, and s*it food?

I'm curious: Have you ever had severe food poisoning? I had salmonella once and was hospitalized. It didn't help. My fear was that I *wasn't* going to die.

Only a fool eats from a dumpster...a garbage-eating fool with no self respect.

A "leftist," in your parlance, is someone who doesn't advocate killing elected representatives they don't agree with.

You aren't right, and you aren't left, Gunner. You're just nuts.

Bingo.

I think even Caster gave up supporting him. About the only one left is that f****ng goddamned flea ray-ray.

The threats are empty woofing. That's what makes them so comically absurd.

Your dumpster stories don't jibe with these quotes.

"In the past 40 yrs..I think Ive been unemployed for a total of hummm...6 days."

"Ive only been unemployed for about 3 months"

Of course the two quotes contradict each other as well, which has become your trademark.

How ridiculous. What's the point of running away when you know full well you'll begin responding to any nym I use?

What happened to that list of nyms I asked you to post? You have it right? How else could you arrive at a number? LOL You always write more rubbish instead of posting proof. For the same reason you can't post the DD214, the Hotel Econoline registration, the bike registrations, the land contracts, the job offers, etc.

Just another stupid lie that doesn't help your position at all.

I'm doing quite well. Retirement income began exceeding outgo a couple decades ago. The positive balance keeps increasing, and I'm actively looking to buy stuff for the fun of it. As opposed to a lifetime of

No. It is plainly evident that the computer wienies and the scary friends never existed.

LOL You started writing that rubbish 7 or 8 years ago. How many more remaining days do you say I have now?

List some you know. You can't.

List some you know. You can't.

I don't know anyone with as many skills as you claim to have, period. Of those I know who actually have lots of skills, none has ever had your three *decades* of rough times.

Not in your case, obviously.

You would know.

That just cracks me up. And he *keeps* responding to the new ones for a long time, even though he knows - sorta - who the person is. I add "sorta" because he insists you and I are the same person. Hell, I don't think we've used 150 total pseudonyms between the two of us.

Or the "e-mail address" to which he sends the "headers" of posts that have trashed him.

Much longer ago than that. He first threatened me with death a decade or more ago.

More than Wieber has. He's close to 64 years of age and in bad health.
