Yep, given his incompetence to pull off the simplest scheme he's probably on disability.

This is what I was implying...I know a number of people where I am who have been dumped onto payments then essentially left to their own devices. The ones that don't make an effort to try to engage in productive work stray further and further from the spectrum. Oh, and there's Chris. Clem's not getting any help to try to direct him back to the workforce either, making his world more and more myopic, and make YouTube videos about loud neighbors and making obsolete junk in skips work. (Admittedly, the UK is not a good place for a semi-functional person to get a job at the moment.)

What does his mother do for work?

He complains in one of his videos that his neighbours wake him up with loud music at 2 pm.
Goes to show how productive his day is.

He says he's on benefits for autism in this video. Also the birds wake him up at 4am and children chase him around throwing things at him, so he tries to avoid them at all costs.

It's kinda sad that Clem's the local spaz that gets the attention of little scrotes. There was one such man on my street like that, he was chased out his home because the taunting of local chavs got too much for him and he was always egged if they saw him walking on the street. He was a nice enough chap, he just had minor learning disabilities.

No-one deserves that kind of campaign against them really, not even Chris.

I noticed some of the comments say things like "Just because you have asperger's doesn't mean you can't keep a job", and "I have asperger's but I found that working has helped my social skills". Very good advice for Clem, but will he take it? No. I bet he thinks that part of being a perpetual child means not having a job, because that's for "grown-ups".

That's pretty fucked up. Nobody (I hope) could believe Clem "deserves" it (I'd like to point out though that he exaggerates the fuck out of every inconvenience. I mean, the birds sing too loud too early?)

Neighborhood parents probably have warned their chavvy offspring to stay clear of Clem, though. There's no social context for a man in his 30s attempting to look like and act like a pre-pubescent teenager.

I believe he mentions in one of his videos that she works for a school, but not in what capacity

 

[Crack]

In this video, you can see six empty cans of soft drink. Maybe he's drank them in several weeks. But there's already been comments on the thread about how he's gained weight. Between not working and consuming that stuff (which is effectively fat in a can), he could be on a path to Chris-style Type 2 diabetes.

EDIT: And it took him 5 days to pull down the video. Hi Clem.

 

[Durable Mike Malloy]

I believe he mentions in one of his videos that she works for a school, but not in what capacity

She used to be a school dinner lady; Clem showed us a service award she'd won in the video featuring his late father's model train set. He has also mentioned that she is out of the house during normal weekday business hours; one might presume she is currently employed.

Clem has noted that his mother does not want him to put her personal business on the internet; his fans - or "fans," as the case may be - have asked him about her and he's declined to state. I think this is to his credit, actually.

 

[Peter Capaldi]

In that vlog, you can clearly see Clem's been busy with a razor again. There's weird rashes on his throat and it's definitely not normal skin irritation (I have that slightly, your entire skin gets reddish but not that deep red in streaks). Also, I like how he complains about someone supposedly running around with a gun, yet he isn't in the slightest concerned that he could be shot by that person if it's truly a maniac.

Linux hates CoolDudeClem. Remember, this is not a troll video or hate video!!!

For non-Linux-heads, here's a quick explanation of where Clem fails:

- YouTube playback on Linux on obsolete hardware currently pretty much requires using external player software (for example VLC) and downgrading quality. The last official version of Flash to be supported on Linux is 11.2, and pretty much every browser is currently shaking heads in disgust. Alternative Flash plugin replacements, as a rule, don't work too well on YouTube. YouTube and new versions of Firefox support HTML5 player and WebM, but that pretty much requires a reasonably newish computer to decode smoothly.

- Does video editing on Linux. It's one of those fields where free software is getting to the "completely usable for those with massive pain tolerance" level. Kdenlive is a decent enough a program - just don't expect the experience to be as nice and smooth as with commercial Win/Mac packages.

- Tries using Premiere on Wine. A lot of Windows apps need additional tweaks. Premiere 6.5 is rated "silver" - needs tweaks but otherwise runs out of box. He just happened to choose the version that appears to be best supported by Wine, an still complains.

- Never seen Audacity hang like that. His fatal assumption was that audio on Linux just works®. Trust me, it almost never just works®. Since he seems to be seeing million devices, I assume PulseAudio is somehow involved. My deepest condolences.

- Mashing buttons to close apps generally doesn't help. Rebooting isn't the only way to kill a hanged app, you generally only need to reboot the machine after kernel upgrades. (Personal uptime record 289 days.) Nor is the desktop environment the only way to tell Linux to reboot. (Absolute last resort for clean reboot: Alt+SysRq+[R,E,I,S,U,B]) Protip: there are million ways to kill processes in Linux, and most newbies want to learn these fairly soon.

- "Only I seem to have these problems!" - uh, look, the Linux community is painfully aware that the state of video in Linux is in dire need of improvement. Either he should decide that the apps just aren't up to his standards yet (I'm not blaming him, I'm a giant Linux fan but I do my video editing on Windows anyway), or choose to go on a great geeky adventure to overcome the problems and limitations. I particularly liked this video from Computerphile where the channel's producer describes the problems he had with Linux video editors. Notice the distinct lack of whining and considerable levels of professionalism, there.

- Seems to assume that Windows filesharing is something that is intrinsically computerish and should be automatically happening everywhere. Linux has Samba, which lets you serve files and stuff off of Linux just nicely, but again, it needs to be installed and set up.

 

[Peter Capaldi]

Yep, using Linux as a daily driver here, Windows only for when I need it (Office and Vegas both won't run in WINE). KDEnlive is cringe worthy. Had more luck with audio, my sound card just worked (SB1040). That aside, Clem really isn't the type of person that should use it. So far I've been lucky (all things done in Terminal was copy/paste work for me), but especially if you're running it on ancient hardware you'll need to be able to do lots of problem solving. And for someone that can't even keep their Windows installation clean, getting advertisement crap with every installer because he simply clicks next 'till it installs, Linux is quite far-fetched. Heck, there's even a Windows program that auto-unticks bloatware options in installers, Clem should get it.

 

[Peter Capaldi]

Also uploaded this video as a link to the Dailymotion version. Clem has seen it but appears to have failed in taking this down.

So the last news is that Jace is Andy Kaufman reincarnate, right?

Imagine my surprise when I fired up YouTube and saw it recommend me CoolDudeClem's channel. Okay. YouTube sometimes does that, recommend me channels that I've viewed recently.

But then it recommended me a few videos from EEVblog. Jeez, this guy sounds like if Clem wasn't a whiner and actually knew something about what he's talking about. (OK, he's an Aussie, but still.)

THE REALITY IS BEING BENT AROUND US

 

[Peter Capaldi]

That's because Clem is an avid EEVblog fan, he even had a still of an EEVblog video in the background of one of his videos.

Oh, that totally explains it. Goodness knows that I've seen many YouTube channels that get terrible imitators. Thanks for introducing me to a vastly superiour channel, Clem!

Yep, Clem seems to take most of his inspiration from EEVblog and Photonicinduction , both are vastly superior and infinitely more popular channels on youtube

Mylar defending Chris in a way... now I have seen everything.
Also, a new video by Clem:

All I can say is it's a good thing that Mylar doesn't own the Internet, all the porn would be replaced with balloons and Bratz dolls and the world economy would crash because of it. (I suppose the rest of the non balloons and Bratz sites being shut down would contribute to that too!)

 

[Old Greg]

Mylar defending Chris in a way... now I have seen everything.

Its a shame really. Clem and Sammy could become friends if they stopped being so stubborn.

 

[DrChristianTroy]

I actually have sympathy for Clement. to be 35 and living at home is a good thing. Why grow up? It's just something social nonsense. to be 35 and stay at home and collect Bratz is really my taste. I just don't like his taste in music. being 35 and living home safely with the parents does not seem like a problem to me. society is the problem!

Seriously bro, how do you survive being this wack? Is it difficult?

And somehow CoolDudeClem claims the title of "Most Autistic Avatar on Youtube." Props?
