If he's not completely making this up, I'm just staggered at the idea that this guy could last five minutes in the US Army or any other army, even if it was in a very rear echelon kind of job. I mean, would you want him trained in the use of firearms?

Although to judge from what he says in one of the latest videos, his comrades in arms didn't think much of him either.

Oh he's far from professional. In fact he's closer to a person that has a little knowledge of wine but lacks any real insight and just uses terms that he's heard others use.

I'm far from a professional when it comes to tasting wines even if I wanted at some point to become a sommelier. I've worked as a waiter, bartender and wine steward at various points in my life. I've introduced my GF to wines and typically can choose from the wine menu to pick a good wine to go with dinner. Compared to some schmuck off the street I know my shit. Compared to a professional I'm a fucking poseur and this guy is a fucking poseur.

He's also drinking the cheap stuff and I'm not saying that as a bad thing because there are bargain wines from South America that are amazing values for the price. But when your choice of wine is consistently in the $10-$15 range you're not really getting a quality product.

Edit to avoid double posting, derp.
@A.Shitposter He's missing the basics of tasting, different wines have different glasses made for that very purpose (in all of the vids posted so far, he's only used one glass, and it's the wrong glass for the reds. Reds usually get a stout glass while whites and some pinks get a wide flute). Plus, chilling a red is a bit of a no no, you want that as far from the fridge as possible especially before tasting it. Some reds might be made for chilling, but usually the merlots and cabernets are always kept at room temp. [/QUOTE]
Actually, this isn't a hard and fast rule.

The idea is a white wine should be at the same temperature that if you just brought the bottle up from your wine cellar. Keeping it cool on ice should preserve this temperature but shouldn't numb it down until all you taste is the cold. Treat a rose similarly although I don't always recommend putting it on ice. You want a rose to be cool, not cold.

Reds on the other hand are trickier. A fruity red, like a Beaujolais, should be brought up from the cellar just before you open it. Treat this more like a rose than a red. An ice bucket is a big no no however. You want lightly chilled, not cold. The heavier the wine, the more time you leave it out ostensibly to let it breathe a little. The only breathing it really needs is pouring into your glass and maybe a swirl or two. Typically I'd say somewhere in the mid to high 60's is optimal temperature for most reds.

Also, not sure if they still do this since it's been years since the last tasting I was at but they usually have a glass of water or some fruits or cheese and bread to accompany it, just to cleanse the palate and slow the getting drunk level.

They're supposed to but some places don't bother with that and just have some saltines although they're better than nothing.
Last bit, who the fuck but a drunkard uses a BEER glass to taste wine?

I guess it saves on him having to pour more into the glass.

In the end what he does is his business. He's clearly not a threat to others (yet) and if he chooses to do something stupid or destructive to himself there's not much that can be done to change that. Yeah, it's depressing but I wouldn't pin his problems on isolation; he fried something up in that noodle of his some time ago and he's filling the void with wine and (horse) women. At least he's not carving 'Rarity' into his arm with a razor blade or posting pics of himself fucking stuffed toys...yet.
Yeah, I sound indifferent but if his family and friends don't see what he's doing and interject I highly doubt he's going to just take advice from random people on the internet.

Well, the psychotic breaks while driving are kinda concerning.

If you have tried to help him, then you have my respect for doing so. But even if he maneuvered himself into his current situation, he apparently can't leave it by himself anymore. If he can't or won't stop himself from sliding further down the rabbit hole, someone needs to pull him out by force.
Interpret that as you will.

Again, I agree. He cannot help himself now. That doesn't mean, though, that he isn't responsible for putting himself in this position.

I feel sorry for the man he used to be (who doesn't seem too bad of a guy). Also, why do I have the feeling part of the reason he got fired from his job is from stealing booze form there?

Yeah.

Holy shit. EWW. Why?

I'm not sure if I should say "thanks for the nice find" or "why the fuck would you post that." *shudders*
 
He recently uploaded another video, this one at work with an innocent bystander oblivious to his closet racism:

If Tax is reading this, I'd like for him to know that I could care less if he was some drunk brony with a plush of his tulpa. But the fact that he legitimately is a racist who believes that Equestria somehow adheres to his racist and bigoted ideals of pure races and denying modern psychology is downright heinous.
 
That so doesn't sound forced or creepy. Also, is he attempted to dress like a pirate, Edwardwardian Royalty or you know what... he may need his mom to dress him, I'm not one to rip on fashion sense but :wow:

He found this thread rather fast, actually. I wonder if someone told him about or he was trying to stroke his own ego.
 
You people don't seem to realize what a genius this man actually is. His studies in transdimensional magic have not only been proven by me, and I have seen beyond reality with the magic he practices, but I have my own purpose for learning from this great and wise man. I want to create a spell that will open the Hakurei Barrier and let me into Gensokyo to learn of all its secrets and powers.

Now, before anyone says that Yukari will kill me or something, I have talked to her via astral projection and she's cool with it. I'm not entirely sure about Reimu (she might kick the shit out of me) or anyone else, but at least I know that Yukari approves of my practices. Now the actual plan of getting there...I will trek the Yatagasuke Mountains alone, with a special potion. At the approximate site where the Hakurei Barrier should be, I will quaff the potion. Of course the ingredients are poisonous and will kill me, but this will allow my soul to cross the barrier.

I hear that Eientei also offers gender reassignment and abortions for free too.

Someone told him.

Also, check out this quote from the comments on one of his videos:
"I'm freaking glad I don't have any nigger or Jew blood in me, so much as I know. If I did, I would assuredly put the bullet in my head right away. Hell, it's bad enough having AmerIndian swimming through my veins, if there was negro it would be a surefire ticket to instant suicide."

Can't tell if serious or not. Also, are you sure you want to call a guy who says stuff like what I just quoted a 'genius'?

I can verify that his methods worked through extensive testing, although 'genius' might have been a tad strong of a word to use.

So this man is able to contact Equestria through extensive meditation. I have replicated that method, with focus on Gensokyo. After a while, I drifted into this odd plane that was dark purple with eyeballs everywhere - it kinda creeped me out looking like something Lovecraft would write about. However, Yukari - who was actually so beautiful I don't think any word can describe her adequately - was waiting to speak to me about my destiny in Gensokyo.

Too bad he's full of regular ole' human blood...just like the rest of us. Going on record here when I secretly hope he's in an accident and finds himself in a need of a blood transfusion; only to awaken later and find out his donor was (GASP!) black!
