Put glasses on that photo and it's Peter Griffin with long hair.

I always said he looks like Nathan the Retard from South Park made flesh. "Mimsy-y-y-y!"

If you're getting a brand new nondriver's license in 2024, why wouldn't you make the appointment to make it a RealID?

Oh, wait, maybe Lou has a passport he uses instead. I'm sure that's it.

Good excuse to avoid federal buildings I guess. Jury duty dodge? Who knows.

Now I’m curious though.

RealID is clearly transphobic because it requires the birth certificate to prove identity.

Probably the cost. If I'm reading this correctly, a RealID costs almost twice what a normal ID/DL costs, requiring a one time fee ($30) plus a renewal fee ($42.50). There's no way around that one time fee and no one has had one long enough to pay only the renewal fee. For clarity, a DL renewal is $39.50 and an ID renewal is $42.50. The discrepancy is weird but negligible.

It's also understandable. Fat Lou won't be getting on a plane and certainly won't be wandering into federal buildings.

Is it a drivers license, or just a state ID? I thought Louie didn't have a DL. And some states (don't know if it's all states) issue state IDs that look a lot like DLs, but with some minor changes, such as DLs being oriented in a "landscape" format, while state IDs are oriented in a "portrait" layout. And I'm pretty sure the DMV issues both DLs and state IDs.

It's a state ID. If it was a DL, the rectangle behind Pennsylvania would be blue, it would say DRIVER'S LICENSE at the top instead of IDENTIFICATION CARD, and the ID in the little PA at the bottom would say DL instead. In PA, it's DLs for under 18s that are issued in a portrait layout.

I've never understood why a grown-ass adult wouldn't have a DL. I mean, maybe in a bug hive hellhole like New York with a robust public transit system and they live there their whole lives. But anywhere else, even if you choose not to own a car, at least having the ability to drive just makes sense. What if you're in a situation where you're a passenger in a car and the driver has some kind of medical emergency and the quickest way to get them help is to drive them to the hospital?

Not having a DL is surprisingly common among lolcows. Even self-proclaimed street racer Cyraxx doesn't have one, and I'd have to admit it baffles me a little too. I guess it's harder to learn to drive than, say, getting a job at McDonald's so maybe that's why Lou hasn't been able to muster the effort.

IDK, learning to drive is simple once you grasp the fact that the car just goes in a straight line on its own. That’s like 90% of it.

But he is dumb as fuck.

Sure, it does that if you maintain it properly for the most part. Could you imagine Lou with any sort of vehicle though? It would be left to rust out in front of the house in no time after he caused the engine to seize up from not performing regular oil changes. Or something equally as stupid.

I can see two possibilities:

1. Between his rotting feet, his failing eyesight, his presumed lack of acute motor reflexes from 40 years of being a sedentary fungus, and his tendency to tard rage, Denise knows better than to let him anywhere near her car. Even 25 years ago she knew.
2. It's advantageous for the grift. "I need $15 for the bus, guise. I'm so disabled and my transphobic dead mother won't drive me to wally world."

The two are not mutually exclusive.

 

[Aunt Carol]

and his tendency to tard rage, Denise knows better than to let him anywhere near her car. Even 25 years ago she knew.

25 years ago, Lou didn't have any of these conditions but tard-n-lard, but you've hit the point exactly.

Who would be able to tolerate close quarters with Lou for hours and hours while he's under stress and attempting to learn something that he can't bluster his way past? That's not just driving your kid to the DMV; that's a big time and stress investment beforehand.

Some US high schools have robust Driver's Ed classes. Either Lou's didn't offer that, his mom didn't want to pay extra/sign permission slips, or something hilarious happened that we'll never know about.

I remember Lou claimed to have been seriously injured around 1999 or so by a car accident, is it possible he's got a phobia?

Some US high schools have robust Driver's Ed classes. Either Lou's didn't offer that, his mom didn't want to pay extra/sign permission slips, or something hilarious happened that we'll never know about.

As far as I can tell, when Lou was of the appropriate age, drivers education/behind the wheel training was still provided by school districts or was allowed to be provided by the parent (unlike some states, which require behind the wheel training come from paid and licensed providers). I would bet laziness on his part.

Pennsylvania enacted the “Graduated Driver Licensing Program,” a law passed in 1999 requiring that new drivers younger than 18 wait six months after receiving their learner’s permit before they can take their skills test. Prior to 1999, the waiting period was 30 days, said Danielle E. Klinger, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokeswoman.

“I don’t necessarily think they’re waiting longer. I think it’s more that requirement that they have that mandatory waiting period,” Klinger said.

The law also requires that 50 hours behind-the-wheel training be completed within the six months. Klinger said a supervising adult must sign off on the skill-building requirement before the teenager can get a license. That also wasn’t a requirement before 1999, Klinger said.

“There have been a lot of changes, which is probably why you’ll notice younger drivers waiting longer to get their driver’s license,” Klinger said.

Other changes require that the licensed, supervising adults be 21, rather than 18. And even after new drivers get their junior licenses, there are restrictions. Whereas young drivers used to be permitted to drive until midnight, Klinger said, they are now restricted from driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., except in the case of employment or volunteer services that require travel.

Semi off topic but while researching the DL laws in there I realized how lucky most of us were to get our licenses when we did.

As long as you passed the test here you could just drive whenever and wherever you felt like. All these new rules sound gay AF.

I guess I can see why he doesn’t have his.

But back on topic, what happens if his Silverwood friend and he fall out…. Will he renounce the name? Grift for another name change? Shove a half empty bottle of ketchup up his ass?

Who knows.

It's strange how adamant Lou is when he tells everyone this guy is his adopted brother, because other than that it doesn't seem like Silverwind has much involvement in Lou's online presence. It's just Lou telling everyone how great this guy is and that's why they're fake relatives, that's it.

I know we only see Lou's "surface" activities and he's no doubt squatting on a handful of Discords and PM chains, but at the same time: who could put up with the full Lou experience 1-on-1, without the mitigation of the public view? For years? Who would want to?

Maybe he's Louie's pay piggy? Maybe Louie is selling horrible photos of himself or his nephew to this guy?
