The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[onan]

I don't agree with 51's method. But he does have a relationship with Falkie and I can't say he is nefarious in his dealings. I like 51, even though we argue. I kind of wish I could talk to Falkie with the ability that 51 does.

If he is encouraging him in a course that could well ruin his life then I doubt that very strongly, but who knows? He might be like one of those amateur tax planners who thinks they can fool the IRS and end up getting their clients sent to jail. I can't say I like Falkie, but I feel a basic human sympathy for someone who looks like they are being duped. As I said before, life is full of people who like to get involved in other people's lives but have no skin in the game and end up doing their 'friend' harm. I'm sure Drone is perfectly pleasant in real life, but his actions will cause harm if unchecked.

Can you honestly say, onan, that getting a man to put his life on view for everyone to mock - ostensibly with the purpose of parleying it into some kind of celebrity - is really the behaviour of a friend? Surely it is more the actions of a) an idiot, or b) a manipulative creep?

No I can't. And 51 and I have had a knock down drag out over it. But, I don't think 51 is in any way malevolent. Sometimes people do the wrong thing for the right reasons.

[SredniVashtar]

One other point that bears going over from the litany of nonsense that was Drone's last post.

It is wrong to talk about the proceeds from street begging as coming under the heading of 'gifts'. It is not the same as a legacy of $500 from Great Uncle George, where you can show the money in a bank statement if need be and all is open and above board. All of these items of income must be accountable as gifts, and they will go over anything that looks dubious and make you answer for it if there is any doubt.

Surely you know this!!??

Unless Falkie goes out with an adding machine and gives receipts for every quarter he is given then the authorities will just mark him down as a grifter and act accordingly, like anyone else who gets caught mucking around in the black economy. Suppose Falkie is a masterful beggar, the Babe Ruth of mendicants, and makes $50,000 a year from it. How will the tax people know, when it is all cash in hand? Equally, he could make nothing all year but he gets caught anyway in a violation of his welfare obligations.

Either way, you are on your way to an exemplary screwing.

I passed over this bit before, but something so utterly cretinous shouldn't be allowed to pass by without comment.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

I don't know exactly what program Falkie is on

Oh.

But you still feel confident that you are steering Griftie down the right path and that we are all idiots for suggesting otherwise.  Well, I guess you showed us, champ!

I tease Falkie

Like the time you made your avatar a cartoon of Noory shitting onto a plate that Falkie was holding, with Falkie saying he and Kathy eat it when they run out of food?  Oh, you!  You're such a cutup with your silly teasing.

He's not an idiot

The fact that he has anything to do with you at all just goes to show how fucked up he is mentally.  For you to even suggest that he's just like the rest of us only demonstrates your bottomless duplicity.

[Roswells, Art]

Short of admitting him to some kind of facility against his will it is hard to hold out much hope for him.

I imagine it would go something like this:

That could be someone taking Falkie to CalJobs, too.

[paladin1991]

Simple question guys - someone wants to know - does Falkie look like the kind of person you would see begging on the side of the street, or do you think he looks too affluent to be an effective street beggar?

He looks too well fed.  Too many cinnabons and coffees

[Roswells, Art]

When I was a young teenager I was heading to a sandwich shop down University Ave in Seattle and this guy was sitting on the street begging for money. I asked him if he wanted to go get a sandwich and he said yes. So we went to the deli and I bought us two sandwiches. After talking to him for a few minutes I realized he was a fucking student at UW. He was better off than me. I wrapped up my sandwich and left.

[Falkie2013]

Well, don't you think you had better find out, poppet?

Jesus, you honestly think that the rules that apply to people working and paying taxes are going to be the same for those not earning and paying into the system? If someone is relying on the government it means you can hardly call your soul your own and have to dance to their tune or lose money. This is going to apply strongly to someone who thinks they can make some cash on the side by rattling a tin cup. This is particularly pertinent in the case of someone like Falkie who can't visit the bathroom without making a video. I can see a 'Falkie panhandling' video coming up shortly at your behest, and then the welfare people swooping and cutting his benefit down to bare subsistence.

Someone who thinks that encouraging a vulnerable human being to effectively put on a cap and bells and make an ass of himself in the hope of 'making him money' is the very definition of a moron. I don't think you are stupid, this is what makes it worse. You are being mischievous and it could cost this poor fool all he has (admittedly not much) with your meddling. For a start, you should tell him to hurry up and clean the shit out of his apartment before he gets evicted. We can all see he doesn't really want to do it and is spinning it out for as long as he can. Get off your lazy ass and sort it out, because even the worse dump could be handled in a couple of days, it isn't as though he is living in a palace. But that would involve real work and commitment, not just listening to some guy whinge on the phone, and then inwardly laughing at him.


I called you an idiot, and you respond by demonstrating once again how clueless you are. Nice work, ace

I am NOT stretching it out as " long as I can ". There's a lot of stuff in here that needed to be gone through and either taken to storage or thrown out and when the temperature gets too high around here, this apartment becomes an oven rendering it impossible to do any work in here during the daytime.
When I was on the floor picking up the magazines and papers and tossing them out, my right knee was  in pain all night afterwards.
I keep saying that I am not an able bodied person. Both knees and feet are bad. And I work in spurts  with periods of enforced rest because my knees, legs or ankles give me too much pain to do anything. It took me 2 hours to clean out all the magazines on that magazine bookcase and either pack them or remove them to the recycling bin. And take the bookcase downstairs and the storage magazines down to the car all the while working in an an apartment that is  80 degrees or higher with little air circulation except that provided by fans. But I have mentioned this before. Kathy is helping and the county will be providing me a careworker who will do basic cleaning once we get this place straightened out. There is much you and the others cannot see on video that has been done as well. I haven appointment with the assistant director of housing next week and left a long message for the director. The 30 days have come and gone and both Kathy and I are going to work to get this place presentable. If it were not for my sinus condition and my 2 bad knees, this place would have been a lorcleaner  all along.

[Falkie2013]

I can't believe that Kathy would knowingly allow Falkie to place these videos of her scantily clad on the internet. She couldn't have agreed to this could she? Surely she is aware that he posts everything about his life on the internet.

Kathy was lying on the bed covered up in a blanket and neither of us realized that her side, and NOT her ass or a " new bruise " was exposed until later. She regularly sleeps in the nude as do I and its too hot in here until the nighttime bay winds come up the street and turn this place into freezing to do otherwise.
The next video I had her covered up all the way. Also the 2nd reason she was lying there in the nude was she had no clean clothes. All of her clothes were downstairs being washed along with mine and she had nothing clean and unsweaty to wear. In a successive video you can see her fully clothed.
She knows what I do in my videos and has NO problem with what I do.
She even talked to Drone last night on Google hangouts and told him he was irritating.
Her comment on the Kathy's being nude is  ( and she is standing right here ) :


" these people are being ridiculous. Why don't they mind their own fucking business ? I'm really getting tired of their shit ! "

[Roswells, Art]

If you are wondering why you aren't getting any sympathy it is because we all know people way worse off than you physically that get up early five days a week, trudge to the bus stop in inclement weather, take a long bus ride to get to work and work all day at a shit job. So you screaming about your knees while you walk ten blocks to Starbucks or to spend an entire day walking around some radio hack's event is not worthy of sympathy.

Ahh, good times on the Ave..  I remember people used to call them "Ave rats."

Vashtar, you're wrong.  You can accept gifts from anyone, as long as it's under 13k you don't have to report it.  You can keep spewing your garbage and maybe someone will listen to you, but most people will agree on top of the legal point that no one will ever #1 know or #2 care if Falkie received a small hand out.   

Falkie actually told me himself that he didn't believe he could beg for money on the street because he looks too affluent when I asked him if he had ever thought about it.   It's a legitimate question because he does already ask for money in some of his videos.  We had a discussion about it and I thought I'd post here to see what people said.  So for the record, he never said he was going to go do this.

Can you honestly say, onan, that getting a man to put his life on view for everyone to mock - ostensibly with the purpose of parleying it into some kind of celebrity - is really the behaviour of a friend?

Falkie's making a valiant effort to make money from his videos without purposefully embarrassing himself, and yet he routinely does it anyway and gets mocked whether or not they're embarrassing.   I'm just suggesting he capitalizes on the fact that clearly you (and all of the rest of you "detractors") are entertained by the adventures and misadventures of Falkie.  There's no harm in that.   I certainly did not have anything to do with Falkie making the first 400 videos.  He does them on his own.  I just suggest a way he can rapidly monetize it.

I know it's an obvious question to ask; but why has it been allowed to get into the state it's in, in the first place? You'd have burnt fat off doing housework every day and you're general health would be better. Leaving it until it's overwhelmed you is too much to do and not enough time to do it. What you do instead is make shitty self aggrandising videos of crap that no-one cares about; sure they watch and take the piss, but that isn't what you wanted is it?

The Noory pipe dream was just that. It isn't going to happen, you will not be made a rich or even slightly well off. Do you understand that? Do you?

Stop the videos. They harm you. Ignore Drone's bollox, he's just taking the piss out of you for his entertainment. Take up Paladin's offer. Today. Pm him. Do it.

[Falkie2013]

You'd better not let the government/taxpayer find out about it then because they are going to take a very different view and would most probably result in getting his benefits withdrawn and Falkie thrown on the street. Don't be silly and try to encourage an already damaged individual to take further action against his own interests. Your 'just asking questions' tactic fools no-one.

FYI, Drone came up with this suggestion in a phone call and I said for him to pose the question as to whether or not I could successfully panhandle ( and Kathy too ).
Nobody reports this kind of income to the government and I have known people on GA who went out on Market Street with their cats and pulled in $90 a day a piece and I once knew a comely young girl who was pregnant and went out dressed in a hippie style dress with petticoats and would come back telling me of all the guys who hit up on her and when she returned she dumped all the change on the bed out of the petticoats and we sat there and counted it out and it came to $450 for 8 hours of " work ".

The IRS won't care (I believe the gift amount is $10,000) but the agencies providing Senda's welfare payments (SSI, food assistance, Medicaid) will.  If he receives any amount of money over $50 from any source he must report it to his case worker or he will be guilty of welfare fraud.

Thank you for confirming what most of us already knew.  You're a grifter and a welfare cheat.  This last post of yours obliterated any measure of sympathy I may have had for you.  Truly, you deserve whatever you get.

[Falkie2013]

So you screaming about your knees while you walk ten blocks to Starbucks or to spend an entire day walking around some radio hack's event is not worthy of sympathy.

I am NOT asking nor eliciting sympathy just replying to the canard that I am stretching  cleaning by way of laziness. I fell on both knees last week and Kathy's back is giving her great pain as well.
As for Drone, he makes suggestions to have me do certain things and on a regular basis I shoot them down and tell him " No, I am NOT going to do that. " and tell him to stop coming up with stuff that crosses the line. Last night he was talking to Kathy and I and was crossing the line and she told him to stop being annoying and be being offensive.


Kathy says he's annoying and seems to get off my "innocently " asking certain questions and gets his jollies by asking the questions and needs to knock it off.


Drone came up with the panhandling idea. I did NOT but told him of a long ago friend who would walk down the streets of Oakland and like a magnet I or we would attract every panhandler in the area, much to my annoyance. This during a period when I was NOT working and she said " You look like you have money but right now you don't. "

LOL, how often do you hear of anyone giving $50 to a street bum?  Dude, we're talking probably at most a $20 while most might give a $5, a couple $1s or some change.   Aside from the fact that none of us actually know what the real rules are, you just proved my point.

I don't get it.  Grifty scams money left and right, collects checks fm the government, is able to afford all kinds of apple shit...yet he can't afford to buy a 70 dollar air conditioner fm Target, HOme depot, etc.  He deserves to bake.

And until he uses all that money to buy one for himself, he will.  It's just a choice.  He can complain about it if he wants to.  Another thing to enjoy about him!      Maybe that's what it is for some of you - I love to hear him go off on a subject, whether it's that he's too hot, Kathy or Patty is pissing him off, Obama is making him mad, whatever.  He's very entertaining when he gets mad.  Hell, even Noory told him to get mad on his little segment in this new show.   The rest of you are just so bothered that he complains about everything.   Just ignore the complaints, let the man dish and vent, sit back and enjoy his ranting.

Let me make this so simple even you can understand it.  Senda is on SSI, Food Assistance and Medicaid.  If he receives a total of $50 in one month, even from multiple sources, he is required to report it to his case worker.  Still don't get it?  Let's illustrate it, shall we?

George Noory sends him a check for $240 for glasses.  Senda is required to report it to his case worker.
George Noory sends him a check for $250 for making an ass of himself of Skype.  Senda is required to report it to his case worker.
Senda's "fans" donate a total of $73.11 to his t-shirt fund.  Senda is required to report it to his case worker.

It isn't Senda in that post. MV will no doubt have the IP of both posts.
