Been away for a while, I've caught up on the thread & really, nothing in it surprised me.
However, these are my thought on Lou and his disability saga:
Does he think the government expects him to get a job that requires immense physical labor? Like, he's expected to be clocking into the coal mines with an old-timey punch card, wearing a hardhat & coveralls, carrying a tin lunch pail as "Sixteen Tons" plays in the background?
Lou has proven he is perfectly capable of having a job and he's done it through Twitter. By continually using Twitter and other social media, he proves that he is capable of, at the very least, sitting at a desk and typing. He could do data entry or something similar. The source of his greatest pain (no disability) is being undone by the source of one of his greatest joys (constantly being on social media).
And it's been said before, there are laws in place to protect workers against discrimination/mistreatment based on gender identity,
Bottom line: Lou is weak. He's a weak ass little bitch who would rather sit on his ass and boo-hoo about his problems than either do something to fix them or fix his mental health. Because it would destroy the narrative/illusion he's build up around himself. It's easy to be a victim, it takes work to rise out of your victimhood and not have it be one of your sole identifiers.
Again, nothing new, just my two cents.
EDIT: I'd also like to add that, as someone who prides herself on good grammar & writing, Lou's is abysmal and if I were a teacher, it'd be red-marked all to hell. He's about as much an 'editor' as I am a linebacker. Again, nothing new, just my thoughts.
EDIT II: Now I'm listening to "Sixteen Tons" and dang, that song is awesome.
