Chris demoted a phase in Therapeutic Docket program

Is there any chance that Chris isn’t posting about being demoted because he doesn’t understand the impact of it? I could see Chris missing a bunch of appointment, a court telling him “You’re going to check in twice a month now instead of once” and him saying “mmm, mkay” and going back to whatever game he was playing.

Where do you see that support coming from? Not trying to be a dick, just curious.

State and local services. The point of the program is to connect participants with existing resources to help them integrate in a way that normal probation can't. They don't just come up with a plan and leave it up to the participant to follow through.

He's not necessarily demoted. A possible sanction is just increasing the frequency of meetings.

Yeah, unless the court explains it to him in terms he understands like "An enemy cast a spell that shortened your health bar! Travel to court and talk to the judge twice a month to fully restore it!" He'll likely remain oblivious.

It could be because he likes having someone to talk to that isn’t a leeching hoarder or a ween.

I could be wrong, but it seems like his social media activity either revolves around him being creepy towards potential sweethearts, babbling about dimensional merges, or ranting about things that piss him off. I’ve never seen him go into detail about his therapy sessions. Not even the ones with his church councilor.

His counseling sessions probably revolve around him being creepy towards potential sweethearts, babbling about dimensional merges, or ranting about things that piss him off.

If that's the case, then yes, that will probably work out, but only as long as the services themselves are exerting effort on Chris's behalf. He seems to not want to lift a finger to help himself, as we've already seen. Hell, his ultimate solution to the Financhu Crisis was to start begging shamelessly and hope that internet randos or his "True and Honest Fans" would take pity on him, rather than trying to restart his Etsy store, get his Patreon back on track by producing more Sonichu pages, or do literally anything else other than whine on social media for people to buy pieces of the hoard.

Yeah, like getting a job which he should be doing and is as old a topic of him as can be. He must be really messing up with this program if he keeps getting sent back up to the second tier of it.

Apparently Chris is smart enough to nod and say yes to therapists to get them off his back, seems even he knows that they not only don't approve of his fantasies but have the power to legally rebuff him for them. At least I think Marvin said that, but given how mentally immature Chris is, I don't think it would take much to lure him out into revealing everything about his made-up loonytoon religion. Either way, it really probably is just a matter of him not putting in the basic requirements of the third tier of the program. There's a lot of requirements on that list that we all know Chris doesn't follow.

Marvin may be right about Chris knowing what to say to a psychiatrist...once or twice, which worked when he had to pass a psyche exam. There's no way that he could keep it up for multiple sessions over a period of months.

Oh lolno, Chris has been telling his therapists in great detail about his insane shit for a long time. Like in detail and he gets cranky if they don't let him tell everything the way he wants.

I just don't think they care or will do anything about it.

I doubt they'd keep him on the docket forever. Worst-case scenario, they'll toss him in the clink for a bit if they decide it's not working, but I think it's more likely that they'll just terminate him from the program and warn him that next time he's going to jail. My guess is they'll probably use some of the lesser sanctions first, like essay-writing or community service, but one way or another I think he's going to wind up getting booted out. He's nine months into a program that's only supposed to last a year at most, and he's apparently failed to make any progress to the point where they've put him back on a stricter schedule.

I don't think he'll be booted out the way you think. Hell, I don't know if this is really a sanction, or what a sanction actually means in the context of the problem.

This is probably very much like high school, in that if you show up and aren't constantly fucking up in tangible ways (like if Chris had a boss, and his boss reported to his PO that he didn't show up), they'll just pass you.

Like if nothing serious happens in Chris' life, and he reaches the end of the program, I doubt they'll keep him on longer.

It's not Chris's fault. This shitty program wasn't going to teach anyone good behavior anyway. It's probably just made up to funnel business to shrinks.

Someone has to watch Chris pee into a cup and take its temperature. :cryblood:

Heh, y'know, they make realistic looking rubber dongs, attached to fake bladders you keep next to your body (for body heat) to fake drug tests. And they sell synthetic urine for it.

They have ads for them in weed magazines.

Well, no, he made the money somehow when the begging didn't meet his quotas. Like pawning shit. He begs in hope that he can avoid pawning shit, but he's still got options. He just hates to exercise them.

It's: begging > selling garbage he signed > pawning shit > doing work.

If Chris is forced to, he'll go down the totem pole. It's just not often that he does.

I've thought about it a bit since I posted that, and I've come to the same conclusion. My guess at this point is that he's missed some meetings or some payments or something and it came up at his review on the 12th, so they're going to give him a couple of weeks to sort his shit out and then have another review and see how he's doing. If he's still not complying after that, I suppose they might give him a slap on the wrist by making him write an essay or something, but they're probably just trying to nurse him along so they can claim a successful graduation from the program.

These people deal with low level offenders. Theres no immediate imperative to stop the delusions because no one but Chris would get hurt and even then Chris wouldnt get hurt physically

The rubber dongs are very expensive, and are definitely too much effort for Chris. Plus, he would not want to own a Plastic Damn Growth.
A more logical conclusion is that he was either not inhaling the weed smoke, or they were smoking spice/k2/synthetic cannabinoids. I would not be surprised if you can buy spice at gas stations or something in Bumfuck, VA, or from Bobbie-Jo's cousin Darrell, or something like that.
Spice will also fuck you right up in the head, so if Chris was consuming that rather than marijuana, no wonder he's gone totally loony tunes.
