She should just use AI filters at this point, I'm here for it.
The hilarious thing is that half of the filters she wears
are AI filters.
It's also ridiculous that he thinks not having a driver's license is the only thing making him unemployable or holding him back from accomplishing his goals. Obviously, he's correct that his lacking a valid license means he won't be hired for jobs requiring one, but plenty of people have gainful and even fulfilling employment without driving. I mentioned much earlier in the thread that I inwardly roll my eyes when I see people claim that where they live, one absolutely, unequivocally needs to be able to drive. That's often demonstrably untrue, and in this case, it's yet another data point suggesting that Joh and Polissa are entitled, petulant diaper-babies. Millions and millions of people of all income levels and walks of life figure out how to function in society without access to a private vehicle. It's not always voluntary, and sometimes you must deal with inconveniences and hardship, but when you literally do not have a pot to piss in, immediate drastic action is required. Dwelling on how it's everyone else's fault might make you feel better in the moment, but you could instead devote that energy to addressing the actual problem. For Joh, maybe that means learning to drive with or without Polissa's help, or maybe it means focusing on a new "dream job".
Neither of those two should drive, especially with their attitudes and records. Even pre Joh's car "wreak" (which happened while he was unlicensed), the insurance was worth well in the hundreds of dollars a month due to how abysmal Polissa's record was. It truly is a miracle that Joh's car wreck was a single car one, especially given how he totaled the fucking thing. Polissa's last car crash did involve other people.
More direct evidence is that every few months Joh does actually get a job, and presumably cobbles together some means of getting to it. But in the years I've followed his thread I've never seen him hold one down for more than 3 or 4 weeks tops before he gets into a fight with his co-workers and gets fired. Of course those fights are never his fault, he just has the extreme misfortune to be placed in a situation that 90+% of people have never been in literally every time he goes to work. Woe is Joh, cursed by fate to be forever surrounded by assholes who force him to pre-emptively defend himself.
There was also that time where he would be transported by shuttle to the Pilgrim's Chicken plant, and then it "suddenly" disappeared, making Joh get fired for lack of transportation according to Polissa. I'm sure something like that service ending would be given advanced notification, especially if one or more workers depend on it for work. So either Joh lied about not getting the pink slip until even Polissa realized that he was no longer commuting, or he's so stupid and hardheaded that he missed notification of the shuttle being discontinued and raged quit because he didn't make any new friends to carpool with. IIRC, he was accused of using meth at Pilgrim's. Makes you think.
tl;dr for you and other newfags to the campbell saga-
they lived for years in a gross rented house that they completely trashed with their hoarded cats and general nastiness and stupidity and blamed their slumlord of a landlord for everything, but they at least had plumbing and electricity. pissa has some "family land" where an auntie or meemaw or something, idr which, had an abandoned trailer house that once was used to house foster kids but had been rotting away in the middle of nowhere for years full of garbage. the trumpet memes come from a photo she shared where the nasty bathroom inexplicably had a rusted trumpet in the bathtub. pissa decided that living there would be an improvement to their shithole despite it having no plumbing, electricity, and was rotting apart at the seams. she begged on twitter to help ~make this house a home~ with sticker tiles to cover up the rotting floor, but no help came. so now here we are, shitting in bags, but at least they're free from that opressive slumlord.
Polissa just saw a free place to live, and somebody—probably her grandma—assured her that various men in the family would be delighted to spend their spare time fixing it up for her.
It was Polissa's aunt that offered her the trailer, which was also built in the 1990s on top of everything. La Casa was always a lost cause. We all saw it for what it was. Meanwhile Pissa dreamed of creating art in a studio while Joh worked on the land for food to eat and sell. Oh, and all the cats got to shit in the same room together, because uhh why not? I guess.
In a way, Polissa did get her free place to live. Thanks, Mamaw! Only time will tell if Polly will stay there for years to come or try to find another cheapish shithole so she can hoard all the animals she wants, economy be damned. She'll likely be Grey Gardening with Robin after Mamaw dies in the years to come.
Is there any hope for Josh, such as work programs for low functioning people or thr terminally underemployed or something, where he could have a wrangler?
Joh has all but outright confessed that he is a manchild that needs mommywife's approval and handholding to do anything in life, even beyond the typical consultation and support one would expect from their spouse. Polissa probably wouldn't let him get on any non food related government assistance, including voc rehab, because it cuts into her slice of the pie as long as they're married. Remember, they had intended to divorce last year purely so Polissa would get at most a couple more hundred dollars in tugboat. He
could, but he won't, both because he'd probably expect Polly to fill out the paperwork and out of his anger issues.
