No one sent anything? Then why did he claim 1 Day ago he had been given $65 towards the goal? This is still on his begging post, normally he deletes before blantly lying.

Not that I don't agree with you on the price of beer thing, but I think it's also worth pointing out that Lou lives in Pennsylvania. For the sake of Kiwis not aware of PA laws, Pennsylvania is notoriously a giant pain in the ass to buy alcohol in. There are state-wide laws in place that prohibit alcohol from being sold in most stores. If you want a drink, you have exactly three ways to get it:
-Go to a restaurant/bar and order something.
-Go to a "beer distributor" where you have to pay a massive sales tax on a case of beer.
-Be lucky enough to live near a handful of very specific Sheetz stores (gas station chain, think 7/11 or Wawa) that were remodeled specifically to get around a loophole in the liquor laws that lets them sell you alcohol. You still have to pay the sales tax and they put strict limits on how much you can buy.

So theoretically Lou could still be buying beer instead of a PS5 with a little bit of legwork and it would still cost him WAY less (even with the massive sales tax), but there's less legal tape compared to the instant gratification of buying video games and having them sent to your door.

Not to get too off-topic, but where do you go in PA to purchase a bottle of vodka? Sorry for OT, just so curious as a Wisconsinite.

fuck's sake..... I've said it before, but LOU ALREADY HAS ALL OF THESE. he has video games, DVDs, ipads, computers, and cable tv. he's got books and toys (probably more toys than his nephew) and an internet connection that can take him to any number of sites full of interesting or fun things to take his mind off whatever is worrying him. the fact he ignores all of this and keeps grasping for more is so frustrating it's making me MOTI. I'll take my hats now.

You usually have to go to a dedicated store for alcoholic drinks in PA, most of the distributors previously mentioned usually contain some, though the selection is usually a bit shit, you're not going to find much beyond the cheap brand-name stuff. There are occasional wine/spirit shops in some areas as well, but it's annoying enough that people who want a specific brand often just go out of state, buy a shitload somewhere else, then bring it back over state lines.

Even if I were dumb enough to donate my money to random people based off of the face-value assertion they need it for food and living expenses, seeing them claim luxury goods like a brand new video game console is a vital purchase would convince me to pass them over.

If the logic that these distractions--and that's all they are--are necessary for day-to-day life, then why does it need to be among the most expensive variants? Why not pick up a console made decades ago that are sold for a fraction of the price? Why do you need an iPad instead of just a cheap laptop? That excuse is bunk to begin with, but it makes even less sense if it's to be believed.

Donations aren't your money, and accepting them from panhandling should come with the feeling of shame. At the same time, your responsibility is to honor the presumption which led to these people donating to you, being that you were going to spend it on essentials. Not only are not honoring this bare minimum of respect, you do so in the most shameless way possible by actively bragging you've misused their funds.

But he needs MORE toys and games and overpriced Apple products and gaming consoles! He needs MORE for SELF CARE! Duh! When you get the flu and are coughing your guts out, do you just take one dose of cough syrup? When you have diabetes do you only get one shot of insulin? No! You have to keep taking them! Louie needs to KEEP. GETTING. MORE. For...self care...forever...because reasons.

Pretty much, you're going to the state store (branded Wines & Spirits). The PA Liquor Control Board is kind of bonkers about their grip on booze in the state, and the pandemic has actually been pretty great for loosening up some restrictions on purchasing and consumption.

Back on Lou, and specifically his argument about self-care. There are these lovely things that exist, like websites with free to play games, books that you can read over and over (I hear library cards are free, even!), and even a variety of things online to do that don't necessitate the latest and greatest in technology. If maintaining distraction is necessary for "self-care" according to Lou, there are so many ways to go about it that don't involve spending money. But we all know that Lou's "self-care" is, in truth, spending money he didn't have to work for in the first place.

 

[General Disarray]

Why doesn't he take a more proactive role in the nephew's life, like play board games or even simpler educational video games with him? The poor kid has no one there to really play with him I would wager, I mean they do take him out to get food every so often according to Lou. Hell, even a deck of cards and a game of War is simple enough and can help both of them pass the time. But he's not interested in constructive distractions, only selfish shiny things to keep his gnat-like attention span. So pathetic to use the nephew as cover for begging, but to obviously ignore him IRL (not one mention of anything they actually DO together) should be yet another red flag to his donors (as if they care, lol).

 

[The Dude]

I don't know about you guys, but when I'm truly worried about something in my life...important things like: "Oh shit, the ignition switch on my car went out and I need to come up with $800 to get it fixed so I don't miss work." or one of my family members being in the hospital or one of my dogs chewed up a grill scraper and now needs emergency surgery to remove wire bristles from their intestinal tract...when I have real shit to worry about, escapism does fuck-all to "ease my mind" or make me feel any better. It sure as hell does nothing to actually fix the things I'm worried about. In fact, if I am worried about something and try to take my mind off of it by putting on a movie or playing a video game, I more often as not wind up just turning whatever it is off because I can't concentrate on the game or plot of the movie. But I'm not a poor, starving, unemployed tranzwymyn, so what would I know about worry and self care?

 

[Immortal Technique]

We do have this picture of his massive chin gunt, at least.

View attachment 1680407

I've seen the photo before, but I guess I never really "looked" at it; and jesus christ. I never noticed his mouth placement hiding behind that mask and how disproportionately large that chin is. His chin fat is nearly the size of the rest of his head! If amberlynn has a moonface, what are we calling this thing?

I think the key there is that you actually have real things to worry about that are an issue if you 'self-care', which in this case means 'gutlessly avoid dealing with or thinking about'.

Lou doesn't have any real problems (other than the foot, but he's not planning on dealing with that anyways'. His self-care really is desperate escapism... but in his case, it's to avoid the fact that there's nothing else in his life. There's no bad... but there's no good either. He's a grown man whose entire life from morning until night has no substance beyond beggin on twitter, shovelling tendies down his fat gob, and wondering why nobody gives a shit about him.

I've seen the photo before, but I guess I never really "looked" at it; and jesus christ. I never noticed his mouth placement hiding behind that mask and how disproportionately large that chin is. His chin fat is nearly the size of the rest of his head!

Once you've seen the testicle-chin, you can never unsee it. Welcome to the rest of your life.

 

[MetalParakeet]

Have we ever found out what garbage he's spewed to convince his parents he can't work?

We have assumed he's on some kind of assistance, but I mean...isn't it hard to be on assistance for your entire damn life? Eventually they must be like "nah ya piece of shit, go do something."

In my country, they only pay out for so long unless you have a disability that a doctor is continually signing you off on. Even then, it involves yearly reviews and junk

He wants to pummel the kid for just existing. Imagine what he'd do when the kid beats him at games.

A slime? Sorta like this flan from the final fantasy series. Except the slime's whole body represents his head.

 

[Next Task]

I more often as not wind up just turning whatever it is off because I can't concentrate on the game or plot of the movie.

People do work differently, but Lou doesn't have a specific problem he's trying to escape, he's just generally unhappy because his life is shit because he, himself, is shit.

Anyway, go check Kongregate.com for hundreds if not thousands of hours of distractions for free. Add in Newgrounds while you're at it. Even with Flash shutting down a lot of the games still work. Hell, if FerryHalim still exists there's some charming games there.

Escapism of the sort Lou is talking about is actually very easy to find for free, even legally. But he doesn't want that. He's like SJWs who want to make everything popular pander to their politics rather than finding the things that already exist and fulfil their demands.

He's like one of the alien races from Star Wars. The shitty Star Wars, not the good (original) Star Wars.

 

[Childe]

Lou was suicide baiting over not raising enough money yet for a PS5. Also lol that his PS5 fund comes BEFORE his food fund. Needs not wants am I right?

He's very sad

No shit you aren't "let on rent," you don't PAY rent.

I just thought this one was funny, he really does see himself as some kind of downtrodden, underdog hero waiting for his chance, doesn't he?

Please sir may I have some fat, some E-numbers, some grease and sodium?! Jesus christ. Heaven forbid you come anywhere near a vegetable or learn to cook a proper meal from scratch. What a fucking pig. Porridge is particularly delicious, especially with a drizzle of honey and some banana slices or fruit of your choice mixed in. I am genuinely in disbelief at this tweet and just how peak Lou it is.

Rate me late, but fucking hell, Lou. The meal you could make with those ingredients would be nothing but substance, and anyone who knows how to cook could make it taste amazing, but Lou is like some BDSM freak who has to do some fucked up shit to himself because he can't get off like a normal person anymore. His palate must be so fried from years of eating nothing but processed garbage and McDick's that food doesn't taste like anything to him unless it's loaded with a week's worth of calories in grease and enough salt to kill a toddler.

 

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

Now that I'm looking closer at this, the artist actually really phoned it in. I was thinking that it looked oddly rigid, and the reason for this is the artist definitely used one of Clip Studio Paint's 3D drawing models and just traced the body directly off of it after posing and modifying the body type sliders. The feet, ankles, neck, hands, inner elbows and knees, and muscle definition on the stomach are a dead give away. Additionally, the majority of fur detailing was clearly done with a premade brush. This thing took 5 minutes to draw, tops. Hilariously enough, the artist would have had to use the male model instead of the female one to get that body.

Well, Lardo did want a "transgender woman" fursona, so there he has it. I'd say the artist completed that one request brilliantly.

Needs not wants am I right?

tweet / archive

No, Lardo, you're supposed to use whatever you have for food first, then save the remaining amount for that PS5 - paraphrasing you, "using money for NEEDS FIRST and wants second". It really isn't concern trolling when you're presenting yourself as a poor, starving troons womxn with a rotting foot, begging for money every day, it's just "why the fuck is this allegedly starving trans woman with a diabetic ulcer blowing all of her money on dumb shit and food that just isn't fit for diabetics". You can't eat a PS5, but you'd probably try.

I don't think I spend $250 for groceries in a single month. Then again, I mostly buy fresh ingredients, I cook myself, and while I certainly should lose a couple kilograms, I'm not a 600 pound landwhale with severe diabetes and a hole in his foot. And I don't beg for the money I get either. Funny how things work.
