The fact that he dances around what he really wants and makes so many excuses tells me that on some level he knows what he's doing is wrong.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain that Chris is aware on some level that he's a fuckup. What sums it up for me is when he got pissed off with Jackie for "exceeding the Hurtful Truth Level." He wasn't angry because what she'd said was wrong, but because she'd said it at all. He doesn't mind being a human trainwreck, as long as he can stay in denial about it.

I think Chris might also have an anxiety disorder, which is common in people with autism. Strong anxiety issues can make working a job difficult or impossible, even for people that do want a job. Even if Chris wasn't lazy this may be a roadblock for him.

This is armchair psychology, but I think it's to do with abstracts. One of the manifestations of Chris' autism is a concrete thought process and a total lack of imagination. Big concepts like a career and the future are very abstract indeed, and there are a lot of complicated factors. I remember his claim to be planning on getting "an office job," and when questioned further, he didn't have a clue what he actually envisioned himself doing in that office. Trying to think about it in detail is overwhelming.
 
I actually do think Chris might enjoy working after getting the hang of it. Consider: Right now -- and that means since he left college -- he just slacks off in a pile of garbage and toys, becoming continually lonelier and crazier. If anything, a job might pull him out of being lonesome, he'd have some people to interact with; and it would give him a feeling of accomplishment daily. He'd also feel more like a grown-up, being able to say: "I go to work" might boost his self-esteem. I don't think Chris isn't applying for jobs because sitting around at home makes him in any way happy, he isn't applying because the routine of living like an eternal toddler has been cemented into his nervous system to the point of him being unable to imagine a different life.

He needs more hurtful truths though.

Just picture Chris at his cubicle having NO idea what he's supposed to do! Should've taken a office skills course back in high school (if offered).

I'm not sure, but during the Jackie saga, Chris started mentioning Rocky was looking into job placement options for him.

Ahaha, I forgot about this (Jackie's dad's backstory):


Which flew over his head. And if the Fresh Prince is too subtle for Chris, what Jackie followed up with would've been rocket science:

Part of the last quote in the spoiler got cut off
 
An office job wouldbn't be good for Chris because the computer and internet connection would be a distraction way too big for him.

Even if his computer is blocked from having internet access he would end up screwing it up to attempt connecting to the net or would try to use it to play games, what have you.

Making Chris stock shelves wouldn't be a good job either because he would complain about the back breaking labour and would try to ripn the boxes open to steal whatever catches his attention, etc.

Working on a fast food place would be even worse since Chris' unhigyenic habits and obsession with food would turn him into a sanity hazard/ a bother for the customers/ a pain in the ass to keep beeing checked during all the shift to prevent him from stealing food, etc.

I know the last case from personal experience since I used to work part time at a pizza shop when I was a student and unsupervised dumbasses stealing food all the time is a problem present on every fast food business.
Now imagine Chris being surrounded with Good Food and not feeling like he could stuff himself and then lie through his nose like he always does.

So yeah, I can't think of any job suited for Chris that he would be willing to do in the first place.

I honestly don't believe Chris has "tried" to get a job within at least five years. And that's at they very least

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he's applied way more than we know. You don't exactly have to be a genius to fill out online resumes for shitty jobs.

I imagine that, if this is being done, and if this is the type of thing Chris still sends out, that most employers don't even respond.

You don't have to be a genius to distinguish between the voice of a 13-year-old boy and a fertile young woman, but Chris sure screwed the pooch on that one. I think stuff like job applications, even if it's just for fun, Chris will avoid because it has to do with adulting and responsibility.
One thing that really pisses me off is that Chris can blatantly try to steal or beg for thousands of dollars, but when it comes to true and honest work and pay, he will cry " I iz a disabled full-on female soul, who cannot work because of da cruel, cruel, wurld." I think that the American government would take notice of Chris receiving thousands in donations or stolen etsy money, but by dat time Stephanie Buttsex will be on his way out of the country with lots of money to piss and burn.
 
Marvin said:
People bring this up a lot, and I don't really get it. Like, admittedly, I'm hot a hiring manager at a retail / fast food place, but I can't imagine any of them google their applicants, do they?

Like, if the manager at a mcdonalds out in the sticks googled an employee, saw some pictures of him partying and getting trashed, would they not hire him based on that? Or what if they were a juggalo? It's mcdonalds. I'm sure plenty of juggalos across the US work at mcdonalds.

If the applicant has a pulse, what possible reason could they have to not hire them, based on something they'd see online? I imagine they'd look at the cwcki, glance at it a bit, see that he's a weirdo and has a weird personal site, and then gloss over it.

Or am I off the mark here? (It's been awhile since I've worked in fast food, but my theory certainly jives with what I remember...)

I worked in retail for a decent amount of time and was envolved with the hiring of new employees and none of the managers googled the potential employees. They do a mandatory background check for a criminal offense but that's it. Perhaps there are some places that do a google search for new hires but I doubt they would in a fast food or regular retail work. If the place Chris applied to was aware of his antics beforehand, say from rumors or hearsay, it's doubtful they'd hire him, but someone would have to make the manager aware of it. It could become an issue later if he mentioned online where he worked or if his place of work started getting harassing phone calls. :julay:

Chris' appearance, hygiene, and general creepiness might keep him from being hired for a customer service job, but not from stocking or something behind the scenes. Retail chains that hire college kids and do seasonal hiring put up with a lot of crap before they'll fire someone if they need positions filled. This is just my take on it from my experience, of course.
 
Yes Chris, you are 100% female soul - wait, but don't most girls like boys? You're either admiring to being gay or you're really not 100% a female soul.

What Chris is really saying here is that he considers being slow-in-the-mind, weak, pathetic and worthless as simply his "feminine nature". I wonder what his female Facebook friends and SJWs would have to say if they realized the undertone in this post, not to mention his entire "transition".
 
I refused to believe Chris has been trying to get a job because if that had been the case, he would have been talking nonstop about his "new" job and bragging about all the stuff he would buy with the extra money, etc.
Then he would have been tard raging because he didn't got the job and now there's a pile of cool stuff he cannot buy and that's entirely the troll's fault, ugh!

That's why I refuse to believe he even had sex: because that would have been a milestone on his life and he never stop talking about important events that happened to him (either pleaseant or unpleaseant) but Chris basically claimed to have fucked a prostitute and then dropped the issue, while he still brings up and/or rages about stuff from his highschool or communal college days.

I am sure he will still find something to complain about, and then fuck it up. Chris is not the type to know what he has while he has it.

I think that depends on how you define "fuck it up", which probably mostly depends on the expectations of his immediate supervisors.

My sense is that because of his general timidity, he wouldn't mouth off or openly refuse to do something. If assigned a task, he would probably at least pick away at it in a half-assed way. If his supervisor is ok with that, then he could be fine.

But there are all kinds of things which could happen, which a supervisor might object to. His normal fuck-ups would probably be more frequent than the average worker (I seem to remember something about him not double bagging the trash and causing a problem at Wendy's). He is likely to whine and try to get out of tasks with long-winded and incoherent excuses. He is likely to rub coworkers and maybe customers the wrong way from time to time. He is probably always going to do the minimum he is explicitly asked to do. He is not likely to ever get super motivated, so if you need an extra push from him because you are behind on something, it is not likely to happen. He is likely to bitch about you on social media, possibly in a way that gets you Julay-ed.

Some supervisors would be ok with these issues and Chris being in general a below average worker. Some are reluctant to fire people who aren't major problems, particuarly if they have some sort of disability, like Chris. Others just aren't particularly strict or motivated people themselves. Other supervisors wouldn't put up with him, for no other reason than he is kind of annoying and fairly shitty at his job.

Well by "fuck it up", I mean get fired.

And yeah, He wouldn't mouth off. He'd whine a lot. They might be anticipating that, and just tolerate it, depending on how Chris landed the job. (ie through a tard placement program)

:powerlevel: i worked a job at one point where we ran a program where local sped's would come in and we'd teach them job skills. You basically have them come in when it's not busy and have them do menial work, but the gist of it is you teach them how to do easy, repetitive tasks and they fuck it up over and over, but eventually figure it out once it becomes routine. I'm talking like opening boxes and putting the products on the shelf so that the labels face towards the customer. It sounds like something I'd only need to explain to you once, but it's something they struggled with. What's interesting is they all eventually figured out how to do it just fine. The key was being patient and ensuring they only worked during low stress, minimally interactive hours.

I think night-time stocker at a grocery store or big box store would be perfect for chris... but then work ethic does play into it. I know it's not glamorous or anything and i'm sure chris would bitch, but what minimum wage employee doesn't? My question is if Chris really needs money, what is less stressful for Chris, a minimum wage boring job with a steady supply of extra cash... or freaking out every time a higher than expected bill comes in and shouting to the internet hoping a generous donor appears? And which solution is long term better for him.

I realize Chris is highly resistant to even entertaining the idea of getting a job. I'm just asking objectively, which is better for Chris?

Out of the country? I doubt it. Chris' idea of going on the run would be to go to Charlottesville for the day and hope the heat is off by the time he goes home that evening. He'd create a false identity for himself using the cunning alias "Enitsirhc" and wear his My Little Pony shades so no one recognises him.

I think the thing is that Chris built the concept of having sex up as this amazing thing that would solve all his problems forever. Thing is, he did it with a prostitute. No thrill of the chase, no emotional attachment. Seduction consisted of a phone call and handing over some money, and pillow talk consisted of getting out before the next john arrived. So I would imagine the whole thing was a massively underwhelming experience.

Plus, Chris really isn't very good at lying. He claimed before to have lost his virginity to someone called "Chloe," which he forgot almost immediately, and he claimed during the Colin emails that he has just loads of lesbian galpals who'll trib his bent duck for him. If he was going to fabricate a story about losing his V-plates, it wouldn't involve a prostitute, but probably would involve a stunningly beautiful 18-year-old and it was love at first sight.

And... if he got any bit comfortable there, he would swear all the females love him, and he would try to grope them.

Edit- I did not know "Elbow-greased strength" could be put on a resume. I have been doing it wrong.

I think that boils down to what puts his tugboat at risk. If we put aside the morality of whether he "deserves" the tugboat, if he lost his tugboat, he would lose a lot of security. His tugboat gives him a nice guarantee that he should be able to put food on the table and a roof over his head, and most jobs he could have would be a lot less reliable. Not to mention other issues like health insurance, which he gets through his tugboat, and the fact that it is hard/impossible for creditors to garnish his tugboat.

If he works too much or earns too much money in a given month (I think it is about 80 hours or $800) it is a point against his tugboat. If that happens, there is some complex formula which applies depending on how often that happens which could lead to him losing the tugboat.

So if he found some stocker job where he could work 15 hours a week, I am with you. In the hypothetical world where he were willing to do it, he could add a little bit more structure, social contact, purpose and income into his life. But if it came down to working a full time, or substantial part time job, then I am not sure that someone with Chris' best interests at heart would advise him to do it, at least not without some careful, expert, personalized advice on how it might affect his tugboat.
