Chris's Lifestyle

[Cid Highwind]

Most homeless people are cleaner, healthier and live more productive lives.

There's only one thing that stands between Chris and homelessness and that's 14BC. If, for any reason, he can no longer live in the house, he's got no family safety net to keep him from ending up on the fucking street. I consider Chris to be a homeless person with a house to sleep in. Going back to his "how good looking am i" photo, he definitely has the homeless look often.

i always hesitated to use the actual term "homeless" when referring to chris chan's appearance. there are people who are homeless out of circumstance who are nowhere near how disgusting chris is hygienically. what we are talking about with him is his hygiene is almost to the point of those possibly crazy and drug addicted people, not just simply homeless.

Chris looks like a meth head with slightly better teeth.

If we want to get all scientific, Chris's inability to smell his own smell, and his house's smell, is accommodation. It's not unlike the classic experiment where you poke the sea slug's gill slit - at first it closes its gill slit to protect the gills, but the same stimulus repeated over and over gets less of a response until the slug stopped responding to the pokes. Same with Chris - he might've smelled how bad the house was at first, but he was (presumably) too lazy to clean it. Now he doesn't notice the smell, because it's not obviously immediately harmful to him, but someone entering the house who hasn't experienced the stank will probably faint. So long as something isn't immediately and obviously harmful, eventually you'll stop noticing stimuli. I could talk about neurotransmitters and synapses, but that's far too much detail.

I could say that his brain activity is functioning less by the day due to his slothfulness. He doesn't go outside for energy anymore and that he eats shitty fast food which doesn't provide him the energy he needs. Sure his neurotransmitters work but they don't function fast enough. And at this rate of where he's going, they'll just slow down and dim. I'm no neurologist but we kinda get the idea about his neural activities. Correct me if I'm wrong on this matter though.

I could say that his brain activity is functioning less by the day due to his slothfulness.

I've heard it said that the brain is like a muscle, exercising it keeps it sharp. For example, I've seen some suggestions that older people who do crosswords and other mental puzzles are less likely to suffer from alzheimers.

Chris is the opposite of that. I know it's a long time off and who knows if he'll even still be alive, but I'm curious to see what Chris will be like in his 60's. I think his mind will be completely gone.

This is absolutely true. As an extreme case I personally know of one person who basically dropped out of life when he turned 25. His wife divorced him at 24 and after that he just gave up on everything. He stopped working, stopped reading, stopped writing, wouldn't even watch television as mind numbing as that is, but would just spend every day wandering the streets and moping around the local park. Every single day for decades. He went from a doctoral candidate at 25 to early onset dementia and death at 45.

Chris is the opposite of that. I know it's a long time off and who knows if he'll even still be alive, but I'm curious to see what Chris will be like in his 60's. I think his mind will be completely gone.

Chris isn't as bad as the above anecdote, but I seriously doubt he'll make it to 65. Even if Chris doesn't have proper dementia, his constant internal editing against reality will leave him indistinguishable from dementia or schizophrenia.

That goes without saying, Hulkster. That pink slime ain't good for the body.

Amen to that (Hate McDonalds btw, only eat it when it's a last resort).

That being said, I don't think I could ever live his lifestyle even if I tried, and I had a horrible childhood (which I won't go into detail over).

How did I miss this post earlier?

i always hesitated to use the actual term "homeless" when referring to Our Pet Lolcow's appearance.

Technically Chris is one of the street people. Not necessarily homeless or even poor, but the sort of person you only meet out on the street (or in some other public place), NEVER socially.

there are people who are homeless out of circumstance who are nowhere near how disgusting chris is hygienically.

Thank you for that. Seriously.

Truth be told, a quick boil up is a lot easier than most people think even when you're skating on the uppers. All you really need is reasonably clean water and determination. Of course it's a lot easier, and less cold, with a tomato can and a fire. And anyone who knows where to find a 24 hour laundromat has no excuse for not being dapper as a plush bum. Scraping your mug can be a little tricky at times, but a manly beard is quite fashionable these days.

All it takes is a little personal pride.

But Chris' poor hygiene represents an aggressive, almost spiteful, degree of personal neglect. Anyone else would need some serious work to be as poorly groomed as Chris is simply by doing nothing. You could spend an august week packing ballast and still not be as glisteny greasy as Chris is in most of his self pictures.

what we are talking about with him is his hygiene is almost to the point of those possibly crazy and drug addicted people, not just simply homeless.

Not even that. I know addicts who are better groomed than Chris is. Hygiene is more a matter of pride and dignity than whatever your other hobbies may be.

I promise you the phrase "Now greater than 40 years" would be oft repeated. Amidst the endless screams and inane babble the nursing home discerned two words: "SNYDER! MEGAN!"

But no, he'll be long gone by then.

I'd be damned if he still survives then. But if he did survive, he's going to be miserable as ever complaining about how life didn't turn out his way. Him living at a nursing home... Hmm... I think he'd still be unhappy because he'd be whining how us trolls "dragged his name in the muck" and how we ruined his chances in finding a job for his life. Well, it was his fault. Studies shows that people who are truly happy live longer. But what I want to know is how much years of one's life can be cut down by a case of severe constant depression like that of Chris? I think a job would keep him out from his depression but he wants more than that; he wants a sweetheart from the ground up who will serve him so he can have a daughter named Crystal. After all, he said that in his dreams, God told him that he will have a daughter named Crystal and the wife must be white right?

"Millennium Hand and Shrimp."

I wonder if those studies bother to take into account that young people with terminal cancer probably aren't very happy about it.

Correlation ⇏ Causation.

I heard 'tards can't smell shit and that's why they play with it like it was clay. Sounds like bullshit to me though.
