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

[Falkie2013]

How much money have you spent on this lucrative business venture and how much money have you earned?

Part of the contract with you tube requires me NOT to tell that.
However some of my equipment was gotten for Skype calls.
I have spent money on 2 Iphones and an Ipad, all of which were NOT solely used to create videos.
Drone just called me & said :

" They ask YOU for information & when YOU give it, they have a hissy fit that YOU'RE giving them the information they demanded. "

He is absolutely right.

It's none of your business what I've spent on equipment.
Nor would I ask you what you spent on YOUR Android, Apple device, PC or Mac.
Unless we were discussing the cost of said equipment and comparing prices in anticipation of a purchase.
Which we are not.

[SnapT]

No, it sends you a message to tell me to make a post reminding me to turn the camera sideways.
But seriously, & I'm doing this from memory.
The Go Pro will go on a tripod as will the Ipad replacement once i get the frame adaptor for it.
There's also an adaptor for Iphones as well & once I find the charging cable for the Handicam, I will bring that along too.
I'm going to test it out first but want to have two or maybe 3 cameras running in case something goes wrong with one of them so I get a complete video AND the Iphone will be turned sideways as will the Ipad.

Enables one to attach light, external mike to Ipad and put it on a tripod so you don't have to hold it.

Ipad light for nightime and indoors.

Once I get all this I can go out at night and do stuff once my ankle is fixed.

That sounds exhausting.

[Falkie2013]

Kathy will help until I can afford a native or Sherpa guide.

I can see it now ...

And I'd find it too.

[Falkie2013]

Unfucking believable! In one post this piece of shit cries poor and in the next he is making an Amazon wishlist for frivolous purchases that will never net him a cent.

Just keep making your erroneous assumptions.
It only takes ONE video to go viral, like a disaster, a cat being cute or a woman taking toys out of a box.

The poverty is temporary and only because she has so little time to act & is upset.
We WILL come up with the money one way or the other.
Count on it.

Stop giving out all of this information. No one wants or needs to know about all of this.

Keep it to yourself.

[Falkie2013]

Stop giving out all of this information. No one wants or needs to know about all of this.

Keep it to yourself.

Then stop talking about it & DEMANDING that *I * tell you MY personal information & then you bitch about it when I do, and I won't.
That goes for the rest of you too.
I'm out of here for now,
I have other things to do.

[Daggit]

Then stop talking about it and I won't.
That goes for the rest of you too.

It's your forum and I don't want to get banned. I'll play nice.

You're hoping for a disaster to happen so you can make a video and turn it into cash?  You want to make money from death and destruction?  And we thought you were a mere grifter.  You're a sociopath.


   

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Falkie, if you're  passionate about making videos and believe you can make a business out of it, I commend you for that and don't begrudge any purchases for the minimal equipment required.  I haven't seen any of your videos for a long time and could only watch a couple minutes of the old ones because none of the futzing around was edited out.  I do hope you learn to edit them down if you aren't doing that already.  But, and I don't know that you've solicited any money lately... but if you are accepting donated money I want to know it's not because you've spent everything else on restaurants or convenience foods or frivolous items when you could be making a few sacrifices and living in accordance with your available finances. If you aren't accepting money then you are right, it's no one else's business.

[Laurakinch]

3OF, the title loan is the LAST option and only to be used if we cannot find any OTHER way to come up with the money in 90 days, but more realistically in 60 because when you have to move out in a hurry the time rushes by fast and before you know it, you've hit the deadline.
We haven't even talked to anyone yet.
I figure Kathy's going to need $2k for the deposit/cat deposit/cleaning/key & credit check & maybe another grand for the mover to take all her stuff & take it to storage.
Neither of us were expecting this and neither of have that kind of money right now.
You don't expect to be forced to moved after being in a place for 10 years.
Paul has lived in his apartment in SF for 30 years.

Why can't she bunk with you for 60 or 90 days & save the money for a new place?  No, you'd rather throw $$$ away on a high-interest loan and then cry on the internet that you're broke and need donations.

I'll bet Paul hasn't been throwing garbage on his floor for 30 years, requiring his landlord to clear the place out to fumigate.

[Laurakinch]

I'm not going to give Falkie damned cent.  I'm poor and you know what I do?  I buy bulk pinhead oats and brown rice and potatoes.  I make big batches of my own split pea soup, and I don't even like split pea soup but it's cheap.  I learned to make my own bread from sourdough so I don't have to buy yeast.  I only rarely buy meat when it's discounted and I mix it into pasta to extend it.  I try to get vegetables cheap at the farmer's market.  I started my own vegetable garden because a $3 pack of seeds and a truck load of horse manure I picked up for free can grow hundreds of pounds of tomatoes, which I learned to can for pasta sauce. 

I don't go to Starbucks.  I don't go to McDonalds.  I only go to movies if it's something really important to me.  I don't pay for cable and services I can get by without.   I walk up to two miles each way for groceries rather than take the car and pay for gas.

Falkie has lots of spare time to do these things.  Until he is willing to take some accountability for the mistakes he's made and make a few sacrifices to make his life work, he doesn't deserve a handout from anyone.

I have a lot of respect for you, GFP.

Falkie should read your post and feel ashamed, but he won't because he's a narcissistic grifter.

[Dateline]

Not to worry!  He probably has Norry on Speed dial so that he can gift him from proceeds of GameyTV.

[Falkie2013]

I have a lot of respect for you, GFP.

Falkie should read your post and feel ashamed, but he won't because he's a narcissistic grifter.

I was in her apartment the other day & she has cleaned it up. It looked practically spotless.
She worked damned hard to get it that way with a little help  from me & I was damned proud of her for doing it.
She still LEGALLY has to pay rent, take care of her cat & unlike this place that is under a different set of rules, her stove and kitchen sink work.
She can't very well pack to move IF she's living here, can she ?
It's a 20 mile round trip to here taking around a half an hour.
And she still is going to have to look for a new place no matter where she stays.
My buying equipment to do outside videos has nothing to do with her eviction.
I was planning to do tha NEXT month in any event.
IF the Noory interview video happens, people WILL watch it & not just a couple of hundred either once word gets out on places other than here.
And I am not the only one who thinks that.
I will probably pay for the U Haul rental to move Kathy's stuff out AND the storage.
And cut my spending to do so.


I will ignore the uncalled for insult and smear on my integrity except to say that if I am a narcissist, then by that definition, everyone doing their own videos on You Tube is ALSO a narcissist as well.

But you'd never see anyone saying THAT on here about this fact, would we ?

More than a million channels in dozens of countries are earning revenue from the YouTube Partner Program, and thousands of channels are making six figures per year

You DON'T begin to get paid until your videos hit 2,000 views, which I have also said many times.

MY latest Slenderman video has now gone above 500 views and is rising.
Glendon Cameron 537 & rising.
George Noory video a year ago 608 views & rising.
Real life Robin & Joker 549 views. ...
King Human video 2,384 views ...
Art Bell quitting Dark Matter 2,950 views ...
George Noory stealing Art's Guests. 703 views. ...
First U7 video 455 views ...
2nd 311.

Generally after they hit 1,000 they move to 2,000 fairly quickly.

Last I looked in my Paypal account I got $38 in donations NOT counting the money someone on here sent so I could take Kathy to lunch and make both of have a day to relax.
The money in there is just going to sit there and I will add to it for purchases once this crisis is over.
Paypal takes a cut of $ 5 when you transfer money I think. I'd have to look.
No one is forced to donate and I make NO secret of what the money is to be used for. Its NOT used for pizza or tv dinners.
Any money to go to any Kathy fund will go to her.
I suppose Laura will call Kathy a grifter as well and insult someone she doesn't know & probably would not deign to bother to get to know.
Deep down Kathy has always been a decent person. She gets overwhelmed with anxiety, worry and depression and oftimes worries about things & then I tell her that things are NOT as bad as they seem & without bragging, they usually turn out for the best.
But then, I and her friends know her moods and periodic mood swings and take that into account when dealing with her,
I don't expect the people who assume they KNOW her to understand her.
Hell, I've known her 37 or 38 years & I don't always understand her either.

[Falkie2013]

No, but Paul is a retired ex government employyee with a large enough pension and savings that he doesn't get despondent or have mood swings.
He does have health issues as well including former heart surgery and breathing difficulties and has & is supportive of Kathy and I & has been for years.
When Kathy gets depressed, she lets things go.
Then she feels better and cleans & Patty & I usually help.
I just bitched abot her apartment because it was bothering the hell out of me and finally had a series of long talks and NOT bullying about it to her.
So did Patty & Maroney.
You should be ashamed of YOURSELF for making value judgements on someone you know so little about.
And OTHER tenants brought in roaches. Kathy didn't import them into her apartment. Once inside the walls, they move from apartment to apartment and if the original tenants REFUSE to allow the exterminator to treat THEIR apartment as they did, you can never get rid of them.
Kathy has been bombing the place & spreading boric acid for months along with placing bait & traps.
Before the trolls moved in, there was NO roach problem in the building.
I've seen restaurants infested with them and hotels as well.

Kathy HAS allowed the exteriminators into her apartment and her shelves, counters have been treated & areas sprayed but the apartment across from her had a succession of tenants that REFUSED to allow spraying & THAT has been the problem, not her.
I did not know the hide in the walls and outlets until I started doing resaearch on it.

Watch the video in this link if you don't believe me.

" The big issue of course was the bedbug infestation. In a scene with the exterminators, you could see hundreds of bedbugs and roaches scurrying around. The bedbug issue brought to light the problems that Rene was causing and the lack of communication between him and his daughter. "

Falkie, at the end of each video you should ask viewers to subscribe to your channel.  That's what most successful YouTube vloggers do.

I have in the past and IF I could get Imovie to get the titles to work as they should and DON'T on my Imac, I'd do exactly that on my screen.
I'll do that verbally from now on.

YouTube lesson #4:   More weight = more views

If I weigh anymore I won't be able to walk at all & would be dead in weeks.
That guy doesn't look like he is injured as I am.
I could be wrong of course.
Somewhere around here I have the envelope of the original copy of the x ray of my right knee injury.
Cat feeding & nap  my eyes are on fire. Can't wait until next month  get my eye allergy medicine again.
Kathy's got allergies too.

Every super morbidly obese person I have seen using those personally can't walk. They become dependent on the scooter & stop walking.
I also don't think it could make it up the hills around here.
They are steeper in some places than in San Francisco & there would be no place to charge them excpt at the store.
Of course, one could take them on the bus. My doctors keep telling me to WALK to lose weight.
If I hadn't hurt the ankles I'd be doing a lot more of it.

Here is an example of what I was referring to.
I took this while in the Safeway on the day they had the chicken fryer fire here last year.
My late friend Glenn had one of these chairs as well and once he got it he stopped walking and balooned up to 700 pounds. He got so big he could no longer fit in my car. He died about 5 years ago.
I think these chairs are a death sentence for some people. We saw a woman at the West Sacramento Wal Mart in one of these chairs and she was even heavier than this guy.

Doctors don't know much.  Weight loss is fully dependent on limiting your calorie consumption and/or carb intake, not exercises like walking.  Exercise is almost meaningless when it comes to losing weight.  Some of the fattest people are incredibly active.  You burn so few calories exercising that it's silly.  You'd have to exercise heavily for 6-8 hours a day like on BIGGEST LOSER to even make a dent in your weight loss by exercising.

Walking is a good activity for your health and your endurance level, but by itself it's not a weight loss solution.  The person in that chair at Walmart didn't get that way by not walking, they got that way by eating too much food.  That's why they're in that chair to begin with.

There are people unable to walk because of disease, who spend their entire lives sitting in a chair, and they don't all balloon up to 600 lbs.  Only the ones who massively overeat do.

[area51drone]

You burn so few calories exercising that it's silly.

Agreed.  You can work your ass off for an hour and burn 500 calories, or, just don't eat the large fries with that cheeseburger.
