I imagine the ghost of lolcow past is just Chris and he doesn't make any fucking sense.
Balldoneezer SploogeThe spirit of Legal Vices warns Nick that he will be visited by three spirits:
The ghost of lolcow past, who shows his transformer being stolen, his pleasant life with his family before he started streaming, and the time he realized how much he resented his parents not talking about their sex life.
The ghost of lolcow present, who shows him how everyone around him hates him, including his kids, shows him people he thinks are on his side like Melton and Dax shit talking him in private and also shows him the homes of Kiwi Farmers enjoying time with their family being sober.
The ghost of lolcow yet to come, who shows both Kayla and April in a happy throuple with @Fapcop, after a while Nick demands to be shown his future self and is eventually taken to a Denny's where an old, even more disheveled Rekieta works as a waiter primarily serving female cops.
Nick wakes up, thinks about how FUNNY and WEIRD it all was, and forgets about it before starting his day with a line of cocaine and a shot of whiskey.
Merry Christmas!
@Balldo's Gate is the one with the archives, if I’m not mistaken.
I think it's more performative self pity than anything
Yeah, cause it was a funny thing the chat kept asking he do. Regardless of the amount of times he asked they stopped. It was the ‘funny’ question he was known to ask. Problem is weeb related humour just flies over the heads of normies.
Nick in that moment was the person in charge of what he asked in that interview and he chose to, during what was a major fucking interview, ask if the traumatized young man likes ladydick with or without balls. Fuck what that chat says, he thought it was funny to put someone who is already in the middle of a lot of stressful shit something that would make them extremely uncomfortable in the public square. He did it for his own pleasure, because making someone who is already in a world of shit even more uncomfortable gave him dopamine, and it is an indictment of his own character far more so than that of the people in chat.
Back to the leaker/Deep Throat. Meme Copium says that he knows who it is and believes this person (he played Sean's clip from above). "I know who the leaker is."
At this point I tend to think its either the oldest son hating Nick with a passion, or Kayla's family.
Considering that everyone that knows him personally grows to hate him, it could be anybody.
Maybe in her forced sobriety, Kayla was able to break free of the star trek haze she was in and realized Nick is an obvious pieces of shit that doesn't respect her
Schizo theory: the source is Kayla herself. All that talk Aaron made about how he and Kayla were in love? That was real. Kayla wanted to escape from Nick a while ago but has been delayed by compounding factors, namely Nick's mom Celeste running interference to try and save the marriage. The primary problem from Kayla's end was that if she got a divorce her family couldn't support her and the 5 kids. Nick's family wouldn't let her have the house or money in a divorce since it is protected by various trusts and layers of (real) lawyers. The long plan to solve this was to:
I like it, I've thought it myself, but for one item: In her hysteric paperwork she accuses Aaron of "likely" being behind Nick's SWATting. Why would she want her attorney to put that in there? Seems it only undermines the credibility of her motion. Of course, that could have been overminded into the document by Nick, depending on the counsel.
Not schitzo at all. I love this theory - very well argued.
First it's not really up to them. Second I don't think they're going to let their grandchildren become beggars. Third all she has to do is put up even the slightest facade of reforming herself and compared to Balldo the "best interests of the children" go all the way in her favor. Think Lowtax, he had his bitch of a cancermom funding all his bullshit and still completely lost despite all his slithering around. Finally, if the court knows you have the means to pay child support and you're deliberately not doing it, it goes up to felony level. They just lock your ass up until you cough it up.
I have been an advocate of a future divorce arc and of all the possible scenario's how that would play out, your's isn't that wild.
I would like to think that there is a good chance that Nick's family is smart enough to see that Kayla would be the better choice for the kids and set up a way to support them in the event if a divorce. Assuming of course Kayla gets clean and Nick doesn't.
Even if Bob and Celeste wanted to fuck with the divorce with legal wrangling, I'm sure she and her family could croudfund her defense, just think of the people who would donate just to felt Rackets. Not to mention Kayla might be able to find some young attorney looking to make a name for themselves, and wanting to take a smug fuck like him down a notch.
This screenshot illustrates in a single image how terrible Mac OS' "UX" is designed. The entire god damn platform is (deliberately) built from the ground-up to discourage you from tying up the whole screen with a single task (i.e. maximizing a window) and programs you instead to surround yourself with endless clutter. Look at how many different little tidbits we gleaned from this opsec nightmare of a screenshot -- a dodgy snippet of some brief he's writing, a service/database he uses for rules of procedure lookups, a case he worked on recently (or is still working on), a literal name of a fucking client, and a bunch of other shit. Fucker doesn't even align his desktop icons either. And the OS encourages working like this!
