This, basically. It's kind of a response to useful adult life being extended well into one's sixties or even seventies. Who wants to dress like a geezer if they're still able to do useful work, have a family, and otherwise participate in society? It's also kind of a consequence of people being plugged into social trends via social media in a way that wasn't really possible in ages prior where all you had to go on was the mass media (and the mass media was always chasing, not setting, the trend).

Remember: You're only as old as she feels.

Well, with that I meant less clothing styles (though that can definitely have an influence) and more just facial appearance. The average person in their early 50s nowadays looks quite a bit younger than, say, the 54 year old George W. of 2000. My brother-in-law isn't too much younger at 51, but he looks much more youthful in comparison. Squarely middle-aged with no 'old' mixed in, not a middle age/old age hybrid. And those in their 30s have the appearance of someone firmly in young adulthood nowadays, not a young/early middle age mix like when I was a kid. The huge decline in smoking's the most obvious explanation.

But yeah, it's very much possible to be active and useful in one's 70s, and the importance of being physically active really can't be understated. Some people give it lip service in passing, then proceed to treat everyone past their 50s as being a physical cripple with nobody present upstairs. Physical activity is a very reliable buffer for the 70s; somebody who's active and takes care of themselves has good odds of age 70 and age 79 being similar. The 80s are a crapshoot decade that can easily go either way, though physical activity still significantly boosts your odds compared to being sedentary. The 90s you're generally fucked no matter what.

Getting tested for sleep apnea, and getting a CPAP machine if needed, can also reduce the risk of dementia by about half . Sleep apnea is common in older adults and causes gradual brain damage by depriving the brain of oxygen many times across the course of any given night. It's not always obvious whether or not you have the condition without getting tested for it.

Bob, when not inventing the plastic bowl, was out getting welfare for Chris. Well, welfare in Chris's name. Bob took a portion of that, which he called "rent", to spend on the household. It would not have added up to anything significant, but it would have been something. Bob could have helped Chris save or just put the "rent" money in a rainy day account for Chris.

Bob did more than enough for Chris, it's hardly uncommon for parents of NEETs to charge "rent". IIRC upon his passing he left the chandler household with about 100K, they squandered it all on attorneys fees and QVC and toys. Bob must be doing cartwheels in his grave from the state of things today.

I thought Bob took the money to pay himself back after he bailed Chris out for running up cc debt.

We'll know it's a tard home or some other kind of facility covered by HIPAA if he disappears from VINELink and doesn't appear elsewhere.

And from there it'll be a matter if whatever place he goes too letting him contact the outside world either via letters or some monitored internet access. A hospital would probably completely cut him off like last time unless its different for civil commitment patient care. The group home can't legally prevent Chris from sending letters and as it's been said internet access if he gets any will be monitored.

Do we know that he didn't? I doubt PVCC was free.
Click to expand...
We do not, but we can surmise based on how things went down.
PVCC is $150/credit now. How many credits did Chris attempt? The program was 65 credits. Maybe he took 75. $12,000. Way less than he paid in "rent" and tuition was cheaper when Chris was attending.
The math does not work out for Bob having thought about the future of his "f-word" daughter after he was gone.

Bob mortgaged the house before he died. He left them with some cash and no equity. They had less than nothing.

Chris paid on his credit card debt because Bob made him, but he was still paying "rent." Chris never amassed any type of savings. His family never put anything away for him. Bob just wanted to avoid problems in the moment.

I think you underestimate those groups. the LGBT clearly showed they'll support Chris considering when he was arrested, they were all sperging over how we were misgendering him and not that he you know, fucked his mom. The autistics dropped his ass ages ago, and I'm not exactly sure how the brony community views him other than they know he's shitty.
Click to expand...
The Bronies seem to either ignore or block him on social media. Which is completely reasonable given how everywhere Chris Goes a horde of trolls follow.

Yeah, I was about to say, if we're judging them in terms of physical appearance (not dress) then it's probably a combination of the decline in smoking and people not drinking as much. Whenever you see someone in their 40s who looks like they're 60 you can usually bet that they smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish.

It's always a crapshoot by the time you hit 90 since by that point you've outlived the majority of the population, so either you're going to die very quickly, or you're going to sail on for another 20 years until an artery bursts. Just look at Mel Brooks. That guy's probably going to sail on to 102. It's like he guzzles the blood of infants or something.

Why this mans eyes pointing two separate directions in the video thumbnail?


But I really don't know what to make of these current events. Even after catching up I am still kinda confused. Time will tell.

I really, REALLY hope that the autism thing doesn't get him out of trouble again.

I think he shows more signs of pathological demand avoidance (aka extreme demand avoidance) than narcissism or other clear cluster B disorders, or even basic laziness.

PDA is not recognized or called out as a separate disorder or substrain of autism/ASD in the DSM-V. In the DSM-V, it was generally captured under pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), which, if I understand correctly, is now in the DSM-V swept into the ASD bucket. But it is a unique profile, with social manipulation being a key part.

I read this diagnostic quiz and felt like I was reading a description of about nearly all of his most notable behavioral features. Questions asked how much they do/try to:
  • obsessively resist and avoid ordinary demands and requests
  • complain about illness or physical incapacity to avoid a request or demand
  • are driven by the need to be in charge
  • find everyday pressures (e.g. having to go on a routine trip/visit dentist) intolerably stressful
  • tell other people how they should behave, but do not feel these rules apply to me
  • mimic other people’s mannerisms and styles (e.g., use phrases adopted from other people to express myself to others)
  • have difficulty complying with demands and requests from others unless they are carefully presented
  • take on roles or characters (from TV/real life) and ‘act them out’
  • show little shame or embarrassment (e.g., I might throw a tantrum in public and not be embarrassed)
  • invent fantasy worlds or games and act them out
  • good at getting around others and making them do as I want
  • unaware or indifferent to the differences between myself and figures of authority (e.g. parents, teachers, and police)
  • will still sometimes have a ‘meltdown’ (e.g., scream, tantrum, hit, or kick) if I feel pressurized to do something
  • like to be praised/told I have done a good job
  • rapidly changing mood (e.g., I can switch from affectionate to angry in an instant)
  • know what to do or say to upset particular people
  • blame or target a particular person/persons
  • deny things I have done, even if I am caught “red-handed”
  • can be distracted (preoccupied) ‘from within’ (i.e., absorbed in my own world)
  • make an effort to maintain my reputation with other people
  • sometimes use outrageous or shocking behaviour to get out of doing something
  • have periods when I have extremely emotional responses (e.g., crying/giggling, becoming furious) to what others would think small events
  • ensure any social interaction is on my own terms
  • prefer to interact with others in an adopted role or communicate through props or objects
  • seek to quibble and change rules set by others
  • can be passive and difficult to engage

"good at getting around others and making them do what he wants ? " Is he ? The vast majority of people chris has ever come in contact with dislike and avoid him. It just happens that he is a lolcow and internet famous. Meaning a handful of sad sacks out of hundreds of thousands of autists find him interesting enough to simp for.
Regardless I still would think chris being a spoiled autist accounts for enough. People in general need reality checks, and those reality checks can take very different forms based on the persons personality. For healthy individuals finishing highschool, paying bills, moving out and struggling through workforce is the reality check that turns them into functioning adults. Chris alternatively is severely autistic, and has been entirely allowed to live an infantilised life with zero repercussions or expectations all the way to age 40.
Id say this ties into what was mentioned earlier in regards to sensitivity to criticism. Chris is lazy and disinterested in doing things outside of his specific interests. He has zero work ethic and therefore expecting him to do anything is lining up future criticism for when he doesnt do it. Therefore he avoids any work whatsoever since he views it as a negative itself.

The house, even though fucked, with the land and everything (decay being on hold for now since Chris and Barb aren't there to destroy it further), would still probably sell for more than 100K. In the most wild of circumstances, I could see Chris raising 10K from weens, but not 50K+ that he'd need to buy Cole out.



There isn't going to be any contributing to anything; some states have rules about SSI payments contributing automatically a part of the 'rent' in a group home, but let's face it - Chris is essentially a ward of the state for the rest of his life (and therefore taxpayers are who are going to be paying that $200 a night for the next 40+ years).

Ive always wondered how that works. My understand is in the US and Canada if you have several siblings who own a share of a property. They either have to buy another out. Or the property is forcibly sold to pay each of them their share.

Oh also
I think the house is mortgaged out the ass , so cole doesnt actually have 50 k plus. He likely would inherit debt if anything
