Blatherdome 4: My Resignation

[Kazekirimaru]

You sure know how to coerce a man.

[Thrillho]

we set up an appointment with a realtor monday to go to view two places firmly in our price range in pretty nice neighborhoods in harlem. when we got to the realtor, we noticed the address was the same as the one we went to where we were baited, switched, and generally harassed by the woman showing us apartments last year at a realty agency with a 1-star review on yelp, though the name on the door had changed.

i was pleasantly surprised to find that the woman i had been emailing with was the same woman who saw us at the office. we sat down and after groaning that many properties they listed on zillow weren't available/were old, she actually had one of the listings available but the super was not working (we were on site at around 6 pm, and most supers in the city stop working at 4 pm on the dot). she printed out a list of places for her very short coworker to show us and we were on our way.

our first stop was at 169 and
amsterdam, not the nicest neighborhood but with a lot of families and is in an area i'm not unfamiliar with. when we got to the apartment, another call to the super ended in yelling about how he couldn't show us the place.

our second stop was to a 163 between broadway and amsterdam apartment at the top of a 5-floor walk up. the size of the place was nice, but the smaller of the two bedrooms was not enough to hold my roommate's things and also the doors looked like they were surplus scrap metal. we passed but i was very surprised at how much i didn't hate the apartment.

our final stop was to an address that didn't exist -- 610 157 st -- and culminated in walking around the block about 4 times along riverside dr. looking for the elusive building. it unfortunately was located at a place i'd like to have moved to the most after manhattanville but the guy was taking us to the nether realm through a portal that was not open, so it was not to be.

before we left, he assured us he'd come back with
more addresses at a later time and we'd try our search again. i have not been contacted since.

Are you going to run back to Nj

that would be a huge pain in the ass but i might if we wind up completely sol.

[rezombad]

Just get a new real estate agent. Some of us actually do our jobs.

[Kaitscralt]

Come upstate, you have all the makings of a corrupt government being.

[Kaitscralt]

Didn't you see The Place Beyond the Pines, nothing is more fun than Schenectady, we have every manner of corruption and crime. NYC got too cleaned up and safe.

My neighborhood is in the motorcycle chase in that movie.

[Kaitscralt]

Put that in your dossier and smoke it, Darcy

[Kaitscralt]

God damn it its only page 3 and I've already killed the thread

[Kaitscralt]

I'm such a boner killer

[Kazekirimaru]

Is that similar to lady killer with differing priorities?

[Second Harkius]

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

[Second Harkius]

damn, the drama got started immediately itt

[iamabadman]

my dad knew about this fire before i did cuz he got a call from north nj on his cell while in delaware

[Kaitscralt]

Who gives a shit

[Second Harkius]

I agree with Pendulum that posting pictures of people we've interacted with on other sites as a way to demean their physical appearance is one way to make sure this site never takes off. Part of the gutter's charm was how it could criticize people bluntly and still make a good case as to why that criticism was happening but going "hey, look at this person we know, aren't they socially inept based on how they look" is bullying.

[Second Harkius]

I think getting lols at the expense of online personas are ok, since they're just that - personas - but using real life pictures that were submitted to the gutter in trust is different. I mean how did we feel when Nai jerked us around for three months when it became clear that the gutter wouldn't survive no matter how many negotiations? It felt like a breach of trust. For us to do the same thing to iridium just brings us to their level.

Though Pendy's sig about G_R being a terrible person is ludicrous; GR is one of the friendliest people you'll meet.

This is a major part of my confusion. But I guess it will all blow over

You're the kindest soul in the world deep down.

If I had to guess it would be that posting an irl pic of someone we don't get along with goes above and beyond this year+ back and forth between the mods on sally and DTR have been having. It's like breaking the fourth wall to kick your audience in the balls.

[Tom Servo]

That and Sally's stupidity is amusing because they take themselves so seriously and actively try not to be stupid.

We just don't give a fuck.

Yea, that's true. basically, why post a picture and ridicule the person when the person already sets himself up for ridicule via a goofy online persona?

[Second Harkius]

anyway those were my social conscience posts for this month (i had to fulfill my quota since July is almost over)

[Kaitscralt]

I don't think they were posted to make fun of their looks -- we have a Checkbox after all and he looks like Yanni's asshole before a shave -- I believe the pictures were posted to show how different the iridium used to be, to show how they tried to fit into the Gutter and possibly became "try hards" with the length they went to (photo).

I'm the only one who has continuously been making fun of looks, so the ire should all be aimed at me, if anyone. I don't mind, I think it is funny how stereotypically frail and nerdy ER looks, and it explains a lot of the Internet ego. So I have not held back. After all, they just banned me for having two active infractions instead of three, I am allowed to be extra cruel for a while.

[Kaitscralt]

I knew I would take it on the chin when I posted the goofy mask picture, and I did it anyways. It's become a damn meme. They should not have expected any less with their photos. It was the proper Gutter, home of the Bitsy Kong thread. They should have told us all to fuck off and shove the photo requirement up our collective ass, and they'd likely have been given entry with a much higher respect earned.

I saw you help that old lady cross the road on your way to donate clothes to the needy.

[Kaitscralt]

I helped her across the face.

I get that. But most people - barring manasjap - "tried hard" in the gutter at one point (which I think is what KCW was trying to say by posting that old N_S intro post). I just don't think we need to post those awkward "person holding the camera while also holding up the gutter verification sign" pics to prove that.

[Second Harkius]

We could start a chain of livestrong bracelets that read "I tried hard in the gutter"

[Second Harkius]

besides, seeing a person's irl pic destroys the hilarious mental image of them I have 99% of the time

[Kaitscralt]

To me it is like the sun breaking through the clouds

[Tom Servo]

Well, i guess i could have checked the clan before speculating. lol

I imagine you look like Colonel Sanders with a laptop.

I imagine everyone imagines me as the WOW guy from south park

[Kaitscralt]

I picture Spam as a William Huey Jensen twin, except less shlubby.

[Kaitscralt]

He's going to hate me for that, but Huey is awesome and would break the bones and eat whole of someone who annoyed him too much, which is also how I think of Spam
