🎨 Artcow Iconoclast / Jonathan Mack Sweet - The Chris-Chan of Arkansas

[Le Bateleur]

AJM people gave Sweet some good practical tips on free file storage options and learning to drive. His response is somewhat typical. It seems like he's doing his "nuh nuh nuh you is not has that" Sweet-speak in almost every post at the moment. Maybe it's some kind of stress reflex for him.

Yes, but I'd have felt guilty if I'd hit a dog. Piloting two tons of wire and metal is very different from a kid's bike.

Repetitive stress causes glasses' earpieces to give out, either at the hinge or along the shaft, and eventually they simply snap off. It's not an easy repair as a break along the bridge. The best thing is to either transfer the lenses to new frames (which I've done twice before) , or get new ones altogether (which is expensive).

No one told me about these file sharing programs before. If I'd parted company from my former alma mater on better terms, maybe I'd have gotten some actual assistance instead of "Nuh nuh nuh! You is bad! You a'most destroyded our paper. I's hate yee-oo. I's hate yee-oo!" I'd always just e-mailed my pix, e-books, and text files to myself, never thought much of it. I figured the Hotmail back door would be open forever-- sort of a little spit in the eye of the demon Progress. Now if I could find someone to help me copy my Win98 hard drive to CD-ROMs or The Cloud or whatever, I'd be all set-- but again, I'm not allowed to contact one of the computer lab's geeks for help because of some silly long-standing dispute that they can't let go.

It's sad and funny all at once. "No one told me about these file sharing programs before." wow Such newspaperman, many research, so journalist.

What a helpless attitude. The fact that he's typing this on the internet means he has access to literally the most comprehensive collection of human knowledge in history.

Let me give you a hand, Mr Sweet. This link will point you in the direction of some no-cost online file storage solutions:

You may be surprised to learn that places other than the college you got yourself banned from have computer "geeks". Honestly - how did you ever expect to succeed in journalism when you show so little appetite for inquiry?

I think this "the kiwis are all ruffled because I tell it like it is!" shit is a predictably incompetent attempt at both dismissing legitimate criticism of his apparent (lifelong) self-sabotage, and some masturbatory right-winger chest puffing. It seems he likes to think all his easily discredited political beliefs are actually threatening to anybody to the point that we'd make this whole thread to neutralize his "revolutionary" and "subversive" webcomic.

 

[Le Bateleur]

Guess who's sailing on a tugboat?

I am 35 and recieve SSI payments. I have been unable to get a steady job for over ten years owing to a long-standing dispute with my former bosses at the ASU Herald. On top of this several years ago I suffered a bout of laryngitis, which has caused me to lose my voice. My brother is a sociopath and recovering drug addict who is currently incarcerated--again--and I sincerely hope he dies in jail. My aging mother had a heart scare a year ago, so I've moved in to help her out. A good part of the money I make on SSI and from my writing goes to help her out with groceries, mortgage, and medication.

My responsibilities to my family and ill health make many aspects of life, including dating, hard, yet my former "friends" at A-State consistently refuse to let me return to the campus and my old lifestyle. Not only do beautiful random women phone the men in the dorms nightly for sex, but they have access to state-of-the art computer labs, big-screen TVs with excellent cable packages, and buffets three times daily--and they do nothing to deserve it. I work harder, am far more worthy, and would love to take advantage of such vastly superior resources. I am looking for the kind of relationship with a woman that I can only have in college: one where I don't have to take her out or spend money on her, she agrees to come to my house whenever I'd like for whatever I please, and I barely have to speak to her. I feel that those who have so much should share with those in the surrounding towns who must contend with loneliness, slow Internet on archaic bowsers, systems, DTV boxes that only allow 2 or 3 channels, and never enough food to go around. However, these selfish pigs are very unresponsive to the needs of those whose taxes and donations go to pay for these sumptuous entitlement packages. These sneering elitist monsters are a blight on the face of the Mid-South and need to be wiped off the map.

EDIT: although he denied being on welfare when he came here.

I turn over most of my royalty checks and can money to her to help out (not welfare, despite what Johnny Tit-Knocker thinks).

I have absolutely no problem at all with people in need claiming government assistance. I think it's a mark of a civilised society that all citizens enjoy at least a basic standard of living. I have no reason to doubt that Sweet qualifies for such assistance, and I'm glad it's there for him.

What does gall me, in people of all socioeconomic strata, is hypocrisy and condescension. Here's some other things that welfare recipient Jonathan M. Sweet has written on the internet:

Those on the lower end--working poor anc lazy welfare chiselers--will not have to work as hard because they are being subsidized.

(Source, backup)

Now we have wealthier folks around these parts, though confidentially I find the daughters of these families to be stuck-up, oversexed little snots. To be poor but hardworking is no shame, but there are a host of words for those who aren't--welfare queens, porch monkeys, white trash, and that old standby the n-word.

Welfare chiselers and Jobless Petes like Chris-Chan and His Stupidness have reason to rejoice under Obama: thanks to has Draconian cuts in job reform, they no longer have to actively seek paying work to qualify for unemployment benefits. He has granted all sorts of waivers to state and local governments. Apparently blogging, volunteer work, and basket-weaving courses at a community college are, under new welfare laws, legally considered "work".

Also, it appears that Sweet wasn't being paid for his time working in the second-hand lawnmower store.

Strictly speaking, no, if there's no income. It's all well and good to give back, but it's not a proper job. I used to go up to the school and read books to first-graders, but I can't list that on my resume. And neither my time as a journalist nor a shopkeeper were pay gigs, either, though the firings felt real enough.

Sweet calls Christian Weston Chandler a "welfare chiseler", but Chandler has actually done at least one brief stint of paid work, and has made in excess of $5,000 from his internet business.

Could also add "RELATIONSHIPS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!", too.

I am unsurprised that he's a hypocrite when it comes to welfare, and equally unsurprised that he doesn't know that you can in fact, put volunteer work on your resume, especially if you're a recent college or high school grad with limited work experience (so, you know, he could've used it on his resume like 15 years ago); it just also helps if you, you know, have actual paid work experience, too.

 

[He Sets Me On Fire]

"No one told me about these file sharing programs before."

This guy is addicted to demanding that someone spoon feed him, hold his hand, and wipe his butt all at the same time.

I agree, Absinthe. That blim blim speak he goes into is just a crutch he uses when he can't deal with an opponent's argument. What's more, why is he bringing up ASU again? That has literally nothing to do with cloud storage. He's just looking to connect yet another problem to his downfall at the Herald. Quick show of hands: Who among us that have gone to college contact the computer lab assistants for tech support years after having graduated?

Let's break his response down to the relevant points:

I'd always just e-mailed my pix, e-books, and text files to myself, never thought much of it. I figured the Hotmail back door would be open forever-- Now if I could find someone to help me copy my Win98 hard drive to CD-ROMs or The Cloud or whatever, I'd be all set.

There.

As for this other nugget:

Not only do beautiful random women phone the men in the dorms nightly for sex,

No they don't.

but they have access to state-of-the art computer labs, big-screen TVs with excellent cable packages, and buffets three times daily--and they do nothing to deserve it.

Except, you know, pay for it. Speaking of which, Jonny - How'd you pay for school?

I work harder, am far more worthy, and would love to take advantage of such vastly superior resources.

No you didn't, no you weren't, and I'm sure you would.

I am looking for the kind of relationship with a woman that I can only have in college: one where I don't have to take her out or spend money on her, she agrees to come to my house whenever I'd like for whatever I please, and I barely have to speak to her.

Well, Jon, I tell you what - You can have the "I barely have to speak to her" part.

I feel that those who have so much should share with those in the surrounding towns who must contend with loneliness, slow Internet on archaic bowsers, systems, DTV boxes that only allow 2 or 3 channels, and never enough food to go around.

Jon Sweet, the Iconoclast.

However, these selfish pigs are very unresponsive to the needs of those whose taxes and donations go to pay for these sumptuous entitlement packages.

Which wouldn't be you, because you were on welfare.

These sneering elitist monsters are a blight on the face of the Mid-South and need to be wiped off the map.

Heheheheh. I enjoy his impotent bitterness.

 

[Henry Bemis]

Not the world, just the Mid-South.

I guess he does know his limitations.

(Now, for some reason, I wonder if he knows where Australia is...)

 

[Ti-99/4A]

I can't believe he said he was on SSI on Topix of all places. The posters there get off on trying to torpedo the for anyone less disabled than Teri Schivo.

 

[Meowthkip]

Every time Sweets does the "nuh uh, you is duh wrong, hurr hurr hurr" thing, I fantasize about spritzing him with a spray bottle of water. He'll recoil and whine "cut it out," and try it again, and then he gets another spritz.

I will continue to do this until he gets it through his fucking head that it makes him look like the troglodyte he is trying to portray his opposition as.

It's seriously really fucking annoying.

You know he's going to link to your post and claim "CWCkiwiki Koalas support waterboarding for people who think differently! Typical Liberals! "Nuh-nuh-nuh you is not have breathe oxygen! We makes you have is are be was breathes water!""

 

[MrsFrizzle]

I happen to live very close to the college I attended. I was on two newspapers during my time there. It would never occur to me in a quintillion years to look for help with basic computer shit from the college newspapers I once wrote for. Mr. Sweet is not playing with a full deck.

 

[Ti-99/4A]

He probably never heard of empty external hard drive enclosures either. Just take the drive from the old computer out, put it in the box and pull what ever you want off of there. Then again, he knows less about computers than my grandmother.

Please, Sweets.

Please do this so we might laugh at you more.

 

[Treenbeen]

Sweet is reading everything we post here, and taking little shots back at us in the AJM Studios shoutbox. Lol.

Record below, fuller-featured backup here.
[MEDIA=pastebin]kNWHadNf[/MEDIA]
I'm going to respond here, because I'm probably not as diplomatic as Based HSMOF and I don't want to start any incidents between forums.

Firstly - Hoomajocky and Applejack: we know that your website is basically an animation forum, and it was started for a school project, and that you guys also like Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto. Patriot Brony Forum/Bronies for 'Murica is a little joke of mine. I'll be less facetious if it smooths relations between our sites.

Sweet Bro: apologies for my inaccurate reporting over which of your works you posted to Christian Weston Chandler, and thank you for bringing this to my attention. Accuracy is the cornerstone of newpapermanliness; I shall issue a formal correction, as is the way of my people.

In a previous post I stated that Jonathan M Sweet mailed Christian Weston Chandler a copy of The Belch Dimension containing a "Chris Chan" sketch. The item mailed was in fact a trade paperback which did not contain any "Chris Chan" sketch, having been written years before that ish.

Anyone here is welcome to correct me, but I'm confident in stating that nobody on this site is "mad" about your racist comics. We shake our heads, and chuckle at how cringeworthy your racist comics are, but we do not get mad.

As for your defence of your racism as being a generational issue, and your implication that such racism makes one strong rather than weak - I think HSMOF demolishes that pretty well - although I will add that reading a self-confessed coward throwing words like "soft" and "wuss" at others made me smile.

Finally, Sweet chastises us with the words "Do your research, Koalas".

We do. Rest assured, we always do.

If you want to respond to me, or any other Kiwi CWCkwiki Koala, come and do it here, Sweet Bro. We have no wish to disturb your friends at AJM Studios - come and talk with us here, or on your dA.

Piggy backing onto this, here's the continued shoutbox record:

I personally find it interesting how adamant everyone is that the people from this forum just "leave him alone" because he's "asked you to."

Funnily enough, when I asked him to leave me alone, no less than 3 times outright, which I then referenced another 4 times, and blocked him from several things on the forum and on other pages I frequent, yet he still continued to harass me, I was the one being rude and unreasonable. What absolute crap. I got the runaround that "he's welcome to post what he likes" and "he's entitled to what he has to say too", even though I had asked him not to.

So ignore the AJM'ers when they ask you to "leave him alone" because that "what he wants". As far as I'm concerned, you are entitled to say whatever you'd like as well. If he won't follow the same rules he's asking you to, why should you?

End rant.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

What is it with Sweet and his obsession with phone relationships? Why did he apparently prefer them over relationships in person? I'm guessing it's a matter of convenience. Speaking of college relationships, and as I quoted before, he said:

They're perfect. Since they're mostly conducted by phone, you get to stay in, you don't have to take the girl out and spend money on her, or even speak to them if you don't want to.

Also, volunteer work was mentioned above - has Iconoclast ever considered or tried doing volunteer work to keep himself busy and out of the house at least some of the time during this years long "dispute" with a college newspaper?

You've seen his photograph, right?

I am glad to see that he's on the tugboat, just because his mum shouldn't have to be his sole provider at her age.

 

[Meowthkip]

That's not a good sign...

I honestly doubt he's done any volunteer work since his Boy Scout days, mostly because that would involve him having to do things for other people that aren't him.

He really doesn't seem like the type. If he's so shallow that he won't let go of grudges from 1997, he's not going to be the type to do things for others selflessly.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

"Nuh nuh nuh! You is bad! You a'most destroyded our paper. I's hate yee-oo. I's hate yee-oo!"

I sincerely hope that isn't supposed to be his impression of a voice of a stereotypical racist caricature of black people.

My responsibilities to my family...

I'm not saying that taking care of one's mother and family is a bad thing, although this reminds me of how Chris will often say he "serves his family" or takes care of his mother. Again, not necessarily a bad thing.

and they do nothing to deserve [college perks]

So getting an education is nothing?

I work harder, am far more worthy

That reminds me of something...

I have, I have worked myself to the bone a lot!

I honestly doubt he's done any volunteer work since his Boy Scout days, mostly because that would involve him having to do things for other people that aren't him.

That could be similar to possibly why Chris doesn't do actual volunteer work and turned down that one job that Rocky offered to get him (at least according to Alec)

Also, Iconoclast was in Boy Scouts? What rank did he reach?

Spoiler

(Sorry, I deleted the post you replied to because I thought it didn't really contribute anything.)

 

[Holdek]

Although I admit that its constant ugliness lends it a curiosity factor.

Just like his mind.

 

[Shadow Fox]

Typical progressive logic, insinuating that hard-working conservatives like Sweet should cater to some entitled nonprofit agencies in need of help! Now when does Sweetie get to move back into the AS(S)U dorms so he can reap all the awesome benefits those spoiled college students get to enjoy?
