💬 Off-Topic Ask Dusty Anything - It's been a long time coming...

[RI 360]

What's your favorite thing about me?

 

[Trombonista]

Are you still in touch with Kory/Kourine?

 

[John Furrman]

Hi @Phil's Favorite Footlong and welcome! As time passes, Phil's health is clearly degrading beyond just gaining weight. The years have not been kind to him at all. Based on your historical knowledge of Phil, what do you think is the leading factor behind the increasing rapidity of his deteriorating condition?

 

[DrJonesHat]

I've yet to read more into Phil's history so here's an autistic question: what is your relation to Phil? And why does he hate you?

That was answered a page back. Dusty is a guy from Phil's college days. Phil hates him because Dusty told him no. Same reason he hates everyone else.

 

[Don't Call Anybody]

I had him over to play video games, he brought some Naruto fighting game and Katamari Damacy. He got cuddlier and cuddlier, and then there was a hand in my pants, and at the touch of my "five dollar footlong" he either got so excited or so intimidated he lost bowel control, then started crying and begging me to not hate him. I forgave him for his complete lack of interest in my consent, which only led to him violating my boundaries more and more drastically as time went on, leading me to avoid the hell out of him for the sake of my sanity.

Phil confirmed for swarthy, white, Italian male.

Was he starting to go bald back then? How was the body hair situation?

 

[Lysistrata]

Hey man, welcome!

Did Phil ever have any aspirations beyond cosplaying and identity politics?

And did he leave you any funny memories, you know, ones that don't involve inappropriate sexual advances?

 

[Picklechu]

Did Phil ever have any aspirations beyond cosplaying and identity politics?

Seconding this. Also, do you remember what, exactly, Phil was studying in school. The consensus seems to be that it was somehow related to computers, but the specifics either aren't known or have been lost.

 

[Bork Laser]

What would you prefer? Dusty Daddy or Daddy Dusty?

 

[EthicsInCheesePizza]

Did Phil ever express an interest in bicycles while you knew him?

 

[The Giver]

The consensus here seems to be that Phil needs a payee to help handle his finances, due to him choosing to remain homeless and waste the majority of his tugboat on stupid shit like tattoos.

On that note, was Phil always this terrible at managing his finances? If so, do any particularly noteworthy examples stick out in you mind? And, given his current mental state (batshit insanity) do you agree that someone should be managing Phil's finances for him?

 

[Big Nasty]

Where do you think Phil got his weird sexual ideas from? Did he show any interest in pornography?

 

[Sammy]

Welcome to the Farms, Dusty! May you learn peace in the teachings of Mousehammad.

While everyone else pumps you for Phil info, I'm more interested in you. How are you doing? In the 8 years you've been avoiding Phil, what have you been doing? Are you in a good place in your life, are you happy?

What about the time before Phil? Did you have a happy childhood? I know a lot of gay children have difficult youths, and you've hinted that you had some rough times. Do you get along with your Family?

Do you know about any other lolcows? Do you follow anyone like Chris Chan?

 

[Dr. Joel Fleischman]

Hi, Dusty! Welcome!

Kind of a rider on @Lysistrata 's second question, but, are there any times that you actually had genuine fun with Phil? Like, enjoyed rather than tolerated being with him?

 

[Phil's Favorite Footlong]

First, a shout-out to whoever rated one of my AMA posts "powerleveling." If I understand the term correctly, that's... sort of the point of these. That said, big pile of answers incoming:

Spoiler: Yet another wall of text, more on the way

A bunch of Qs:

Did Phil express any interest in sexual paraphilas? Things like BDSM, leather, prostitution fantasies, and buttplay that are so much a part of his obsession now?

What did Phil read (apart from manga) in his spare time? Did he discuss non-weeaboo things with other people?

What did Phil say about his parents?

Did Phil ever smoke cigarettes, pot, or anything harder?

Did Phil ever attempt to learn to drive?​

Phil was very much into BDSM, and for all intents and purposes treated me like his dom.
I don't recall Phil reading much of anything.
I'm afraid it's been too long to remember random conversations.
Phil only had good things to say about his mother. He never spoke of any other family, and I assumed he was an only child and his father was dead.
Phil never expressed interest in tobacco/alcohol/drugs around me, but I'm straight edge (partly by choice, partly due to medical necessity) and he might just have been adapting to that to get in good with me.
Phil never expressed interest in a driver's license.

I always wanted to know. ..how did Dusty try to avoid ADF/Isabel's stench/squealing for such a long time?

He had a faint aroma of BO some days, but it wasn't terrible back then. Similarly, while he definitely had a distinctive voice, it wasn't particularly obnoxious, and I didn't notice much in the way of stimming at that time.

So we all know that Phil is going to do jack shit, but is there any reason to why Phil employs such violent language in his Facebook posts, especially within the past year or so? For some reason I'm remembering the one time in particular where he was literally praising Satan for forest fires that were destroying people's homes in Washington and Oregon. Is it just autistic edge or is there anything more to it in your opinion?

This is just a guess, but I assume he's putting on a threat display, like a cat arches its back to seem bigger. Possibly trying to score points with some internet group.

Thanks. I was thinking Phil would try to bring up yaoi or BDSM with retail employees or something equally weird around you, but it seems he had enough self-control to keep his ....opinions within what he thought was his extended circle of friends.

I don't recall going "out" with him very much, mostly it was campus, driving him home, or the one time at my place, but he was almost always very quiet and reserved. The only time I remember him getting belligerent was when I was working on paperwork with someone and Phil came up, and the (conservative Christian fresh out of homeschool) guy I was working with tried to be all tolerant and understanding and asked about the collar and cuffs, and Phil got in his face about how I "owned" him, and then I had to explain that no, I was not taking sexual advantage of someone who wouldn't consent, for several reasons.

Have you heard the harrowing tale of how Phil had to get his back shaved?

I have served as an intermediary between a certain anonymous man of mystery from this forum wishing to deliver words of warning, and Skarrlett Krow, yes.

Does ADF ever get into long winded talks about Cheese (as in face-to-face)? Considering his "diet" and all that...

He had no unnaturally strong interest in any particular foodstuff. He was consulted for interclub activity catering, and he never requested cheese platters instead of crudités or anything like that. If we want to stretch, I remember him being really excited about the interclub Thanksgiving dinner I cooked, and a cheesecake I made, but come on, it's cheesecake. Cheesecake is amazing.

What I'm saying is did you lose track of phil until recently or we're you aware of some of his old "adventures" when they were happening such as with Rika and Jordan and occupy? what was some of the concerning behavior you saw, any interesting or illuminating stories about him? Was ADF aware of Chris Chan in college? Can you tell us about the John McCain drawing incident?

I didn't pay much attention to Phil for a long while. Some of us would check in every few months to make sure he wasn't dead, or just in case he was getting better and might need help, but it was always a long, slow spiral downward, and a lot of his antics slipped past unnoticed. I only found out about the death threat video years after it was posted, and almost everything else got passed on to me after @Weeping With Pity saw the fake drive by shooting post and came here to investigate.

How are the peace conferences going there dusty?

did you get Phil to recall his subs?

Did you find out what kind of gun Phil *cough* "has" ?

The peace talks seemed to go well. It was a preliminary reconnecting, but I am cautiously optimistic assuming he's sincere. If he's not, I will deal with it accordingly.

What're your thoughts on the GLORIOUS NATION OF AUSTRALANTIA?

I know very little about it, but I hear they have an amazing government street sign development committee.

Did Phil ever express political radicalism in college?

Not really "radical," but on the liberal side. I think he might have been scared to, given the death threats and other BS from the people he interacted with.

what are your thoughts on phil constantly obsessing over cwc and thinking he's the leader of the kiwis or whatever his crazy ass believes?

I barely know who CWC is. I had to use a lifeline and phone a friend to answer the video question to register for the forum.

Has Phil read anything by Orwell?

Maybe? Possibly for a class? I do not think that's the sort of thing he'd read independently.

Did ADF show any favoritism towards Communist stuff that he didn't understand during your time with him? Did he talk nonsense about it? Are you surprised - like at all - in how he ended up in 8 years?

Did you regrettably know about any fetish shit?

The Communism stuff came afterward. There's some surprise at his current state, but mostly disappointment. I wouldn't say I "regret" knowledge of his fetishes- I've worked in fetish bars, and seen far worse than he's done.

 

[Taily Puff]

Dusty, what's going on in Australatina right now? Phil seems very distracted by your presence. Is his country still being managed properly?

 

[Knifey Shivdark]

How did being Phil's protector impact your reputation and social life?
Was there any loss of social capital for trying to do what you thought was the right thing, or did most see it as an incredibly charitable and thoughtful act?

 

[Taily Puff]

(Thank you for answering all this nonsense btw)

A lot of users here think of Phil as an obvious attention whore. What you said kind of backs that up, him not getting attention seemed to spiral into crazier and crazier behavior and more and more blatant lies. Did he seem to be desperate for attention even back then? Or did he come across like more of an introvert getting his first taste of being heard? I suspect that time of his life completely ruined any chance he had in the world, and not because of his companions, but because of the environment he was dropped in.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

When Phil gets tardbux revoked, will you offer to be his payee?

 

[Broseph Stalin]

I have two questions:

1) Did Phil ever mention Jack Thaddeus or anything related to Christian Chandler when you knew him?

2) What was some of the goofiest autistic weeabo shit Phil did around you?

 

[Sable]

Hrmm, what to say to a...hmm.

There needs to be an ADF version of 'Christoric figure'.

Anyhoo, speaking of footlongs

1) What's your favourite choice of filling for a sub +bread type? I mean, unless you're one of those people who can't tolerate gluten.

2) Autism often makes people dislike certain flavours and textures of food. Now, it's widely known on the farms that cheese is his favourite substance other than himself (and cheese was addressed in your last answer) - whilst you knew him were there any foods or flavours he really wanted to avoid?
