Update: Chris' Hierarchy of Needs, and WANT MULTIPLES!

[theobservdr]

Because he acted like an idiot. He could conceivably learn socially acceptable behaviour, if someone worked with him, holding his hand every step of the way, but also firmly scolding him when he messes up. And, perhaps more importantly, if he actually put any effort into learning. As I said above, he's many things, including both lazy and willfully ignorant. He actually doesn't want to learn new things. He expects the world to love and reward him just as he is...

Yea he would have to go through one of those employment agencies that help special needs people get jobs; that or help him learn how to do stuff that is socially acceptable

He might be able to but I don't think any company that knew his background would risk it, like him doing a Donald Duck impression to a terrified kid was likely the final straw which got him fired but probably in his mind it was acceptable because he was being entertaining/cheering him up.

So I think it'd just be a matter of time before a situation happened even if he was trained well because Chris is socially awkward and even learned about social graces from cartoons and anime (Remember the red string of fate?) and that's not even considering what would happen if Chris saw a woman who was ideal sweetheart material, there is no way he would even consider his training if it stood in the way of true love.

That I'll definitely agree with. In fact, I think I've even said as much in this or an earlier thread. Any employer who does a Google search would be well within their rights not to hire Chris, and not just because of Chris' behaviour either. I mean, would you want your establishment turned into a hangout for weens? Would you want them calling during business hours and shouting "JUUULAAAY?" I certainly wouldn't.

I really just have to ask bluntly. What the fuck is the appeal of all this to Chris?

I can understand his affinity for shit like Transformers and Lego. Today, it's not uncommon for people to retain varying degrees of interest in shit that brings them childhood nostalgia (like Pokemon, for today's younger adults). And, as much as it bothers me, I realize that vidya is considered a normal thing for adults to do nowadays.

Chris, on the other hand, KEEPS UP with all the latest child-oriented fads and gimmicks. I know what fucking Skylanders is, because I've walked by the display at Mal-Wart a lot, and I know that a 33-year-old man has no business playing with that shit.

Even Pokemon is a bit inappropriate for him. I know people my age who still keep up with the latest Pokemon games, BECAUSE THEY PLAYED THE ORIGINALS IN FUCKING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Chris was fucking 17 when his interest in Pokemon began.

I'm totally against A-Logging, but I have no guilt about laughing at Chris, reading the CWCki, or posting here, because he sets himself up. He's begging for over a thousand dollars of children's shit while he's in a temporary residence and his house is destroyed.

I think Marv explained it best. Chris is in his "teenage" years and many teens still play with all this stuff on his level. He's mentally about10 or 20 years behind, give or take. So crap like this appeals to him. And when you have nothing else at all to do to fill your days Lego and pokeman shit become an obsession to fill the gaping hole that exists in your life.

^Very much this. At base, what Chris'tard wants is to build a responsibility-free life of comforting routines around things that appeal to him. Preferably, he want's someone else to do it for him.

This is a major overreaction. Chris is a tard and has shitty taste. This is how it's always been and how it always will be. Take a breather.

Sorry, I guess I do lose it sometimes.

Me and Chris are actually about the same on the Scale of Autism, and my Autism Level sinks to zero when I think of him playing with Legos.

Also, Chris is extremely dependent on his highly developed fantasy dreamworld. He builds and rebuilds his fantasy high school out of legos because in his head, he lives there more than he lives in the real world.
