Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

With this whole house restoration thing, I really hope there won't be a "fire 2: electric keurig boogaloo." With the kitchen open now, and since they knew what caused the first fire, maybe, just maybe, they'll put the coffee maker in the kitchen?

It still baffles me how people can function with entire rooms of their house, especialy a room as essential to day-to-day living as the kitchen, mostly inaccessible.

What do the Chandlers do for Thanksgiving? Microwave a three bird roast?

They probably order out or eat frozen food, like most nights. Also, what they do is surviving but can't really be considered functioning.

Since the hoard grows slowly in many places at once, chance is an inhabitant doesn't even realize the inconvenience for the most part.

Basically, you've got a clean kitchen free of any barbage. But soon, there's some pile of magazines on a counter, but it's only a small pile, so it's hardly taking up any space. A bit later noone can be bothered to throw out the Christmas tree, so you'll have to walk around it. Noone's doing the dishes? Well, just use plastic cutlery (and of course bags of them will occupy some space too)...
Ultimately, the entire kitchen is filled to the brim with shit and there is only a few narrow passages one can use to walk and only a few appliances (like the microwave) being accesible. And since your pets can get behind the piles of barbage and use these secluded places as toilets, the whole room will soon reek, but since you can't reach those places, and in the end, you don't even clean up where you could since why bother? It's not like it's going to make the smell go away.

It's (as many things chez Chandler) kind of depressing how they slowly descended into this mess.

How do you think Chris takes his coffee? I'd guess with a ton of sugar.

Has Chris ever said he drinks coffee? I know he shilled for McDonalds Sweet Tea, but I can't imagine him enjoying coffee. At least not without so much milk and sugar that it's essentially a coffee bean floating in a cup of milk and sugar.

EDIT to add another question I thought of: Does Chris have access to a computer at the rental house? Or is he doing everything from the iPhone?

This, I don't think Chris drinks coffee.
 
I wonder what Chris would have made of Elliot Rodger. I mean there's one clear example of a MALE who did not get all the pretty girls and thus cannot be a JERK. Plus they both have a thing for coffee.

Then, Barb's the one who drinks coffee. I wonder if a person as old as she should drink that...

Well, unless you drink copious amounts of coffee it's not that bad, I guess. Coffeine dehydrates the body, but when you regularly consume it, it doesn't affect you that much.
I'd say the stuff they eat on a daily basis is worse for her health than drinking a cup of coffee every once in a while... Assuming they don't kill themselves while brewing coffee.

I know there's been some talk about it, but I can't find the answer with the search function. Anyway, has anyone heard anything about Scamper and Kitty, the Chandler cats not accounted for post-fire?

So was Chris making coffee for Barb when the Keurig incident happened, not himself?

As far as I remember about the fire, there wasn't any connection to Chris in the first place. No one was making any coffee at the time. They just owned a keurig that was plugged in.

There's no public info on it, but unfortunately, I wouldn't count on both cats having escaped the fire alive.

Trolls ... desire for “more content”… They got me, because I was weaker then, easy to deceive and trick: now I know better and I am stronger from the past experiences. They continue to pester me for new “content”: trying to break me further, emotionally and mentally, than they already have.

Until now I actually had no idea Chris understood this. Edit: that the main driver for "trolling" or any interference from the outside was the desire for content rather than just pure malice.

Christian is the type of guy, who'd love to see a grown man cry
When he swoops in and woos the girl, and takes her to his special world
But for poor Chris there is no hope, for all he does is whine and mope
And curse the men of our fine planet, for taking all the girls, god damn it

Thought of the day:

Chris' desire to be a housewife is one of the most intriguing things about him, and probably points to what's really going on with his gender issues. I want to suggest an alternate theory from the most common ones for why he wants to be a housewife.

Theory #1: Chris has very rigid ideas about gender roles, so since he's now female, he doesn't want to work.

Chris does have rigid ideas about a lot of things, especially gender. On the other hand, he did not grow up in a household with a stay at home mom. (Which I think is significant given that he clearly thinks his family is the epitome of normalcy.) Plus he wants his sweetheart to have a job. Even when he was still in his more masculine phase (eg talking to Kacey's father about how he would work in a warehouse to support her), he didn't talk about wanting Crystal's mother to stay at home with the baby. Work is actually one of the few areas where he's not sexist: he gets just as angry as female authority figures as he does at male ones, he drew Rosechu as a soldier, and I've never seen him question whether it's possible/appropriate for a woman to do any job.

Theory #2: Chris is just lazy. He doesn't understand how much work being a stay at home mom is and thinks it would be easier than getting a job.

Since he has his tugboat and doesn't really understand how money works anyway, there's no reason why not getting a job needs to entail being a housewife. He could always just stay unemployed and keep playing vidya. Chris isn't a girl with no skills who decides to get married and have kids because she has no way to support herself. This is something he actively wants.

My theory: Chris is profoundly lonely and thinks being a housewife would solve his problems.

If Chris had his ideal world -- a loving wife and baby Crystal -- he would never be lonely. Staying at home on his tugboat with no family except his insane mother, he is incredibly isolated. But if he got a job and moved out of the house, he would have to deal with a world that he perceives as cold, uncaring, and actively prejudiced against autistics. (And lesbian transgenders.) He has never gotten emotional fulfillment by going out and meeting new people. His new church eventually rejected him, the Wallflower rejected him, manajerks kick him out of stores, etc. Being a housewife would allow him to be protected while still having people who were emotionally invested in him around at all times. (He probably also thinks Crystal will be the sweetest girl ever, will never throw tantrums or be bratty, and will always adore her father/mother/tomparent.)
