Is he smashing his head against the wall or something?

It's speculative, and it could easily be explained by his clumsiness, but.....he has been known to get very angry and harm himself or try to harm things around him. Once every two months, he just shows up with mystery gashes on his head or his knuckles specifically. It usually happens after the trolls do something or he screws something up on stream. There's random holes in his chair and shit, like it's not a mystery what's going on.

It leads me to believe that his anger hasn't necessarily got better, just his momentary restraint. He's said (And I'm paraphrasing) "I get angry and flip out, have my little autistic fit, and you know....it's embarrassing. Girls see that and they think I'm a psycho" and "I'm not gunna get signed by anyone and get famous by doing that, people see that and they think I'm crazy. It's just not how you wanna represent yourself."

People say Josh is retarded all the time but when you pay more attention, you find that Josh is a little more self aware than people give him credit for. He can be crafty when he wants to be. He tries very hard not to feed his trolls or make a spectacle of things. He fails occasionally but it is a far cry from how he used to be, he used to choke himself and smack himself. He'd be screaming about some shit every so often.

Remember when he was ending a late night stream and right before it ended he started to flip out? It was like a split second at the veeeery end of him throwing his head to the side and starting to scream.

Casper Goth

 

[Arealsomalipirate]

Drinking warm bud light, smoking snipe tobacco and glue, singing like a dying animal. Nothing's changed

The stills from his vids are always so perfect. I love the drunk/sing streams.

I always wonder what his neighbors think. I worked security one summer at a place that I bet is a lot like his apartment complex. It was full of old people who were too poor, their families abandoned them, and were surviving off SSI and subsidized state housing. There were also people around his age (30s and younger) who had disabilities that would spend all day getting high and drunk, all the while trying to explain to me why they were living in what looked to be a nursing home. There were no recently released Cons but the apartment next door was a halfway house for those exact people.

His neighbors have got to know he isn't right. He talks/sings to himself for hours a day, every time he opens the doors it must smell like shit (Clint had to air his last place out for him), and he is sperging out randomly throughout the day,

I gotta say, you are right he does seem aware that some behavior is not appropriate. I think he decides some activities are okay because it is just him being 'badass'. Others he knows either through repetitive explanation or consequences are just fucking bad -- like spazzing out in public. So he's still a retard but he's learned to contain it at times. I guess that's progress?

I wonder how long till he gets booted from this current hovel?

 

[Clint's Burden]

I gotta say, you are right he does seem aware that some behavior is not appropriate.

Josh is very self aware of the situation he's in. He has candid moments and they're often pretty rare, where he just drops the KingCobraJFS shit and says "Yeah, I'm balding. Yeah, I'm killing myself slowly. Yes, I'm a "functional alcoholic." My singing isn't the greatest but I try my best. I don't know how to read music, I have problems approaching women, ect ect."

He deludes himself on a regular basis and there is a purpose to it. The alternative to delusion is reality, and I don't know about you, but if I woke up tomorrow and I was Josh Saunders I would probably prefer the delusion. The reality of the situation is:

• My eyes are all fucked up.
• I'm bloated and all my hair is falling out.
• I have giant ass lips and my teeth are corroded.
• I haven't been employed in years and I couldn't be today because I'm unemployable.
• All my clothes are covered in cumstains, cigarette ash and INCEL brand soap.
• I live in a shitty one bedroom apartment with a wooden doll that I talk to.
• All my friends are retarded, annoying crackheads who only come around when I have booze.
• I make magic wands for a living and I'm 31.
• My family is disappointed in me because I'm a raging alcoholic.
• All my "fans" are actually secret trolls who record me whacking off in Discord servers for some fucking reason.
• All my trolls constantly point out my shortcomings and attempt to ruin me just having fun every time I leave the house.

If I woke up like that, I'd fucking kill myself. I'd prefer the delusion.

The difference is that you would wake up and at least attempt to fix your problems. You would cut your hair, you would do what is necessary to fix your teeth, you would join a job placement program for mildly retarded people, you would wash your clothes and stop buying tactical soap, you would take some small form of initiative because you're not completely retarded.

Cobes deludes himself not because he can't look in the mirror, but because it's easier than change.

 

[Clint's Burden]

I'm not, but he is.

 

[Phalanges Mycologist]

Do we know what Josh did at Job Core? I know Stephanie supposedly did her A+ Computer Support certification, but I can't find anything about what HE did there other than fuck a grapefruit.

I think the top hat gave us the real, more uninteresting answer. His head is gigantic and hats don’t fit so he jams them on that big ass noggin and they leave red marks. I’ll edit in the video once I find it from last time unless someone else can beat me to it.

Edit: nevermind it took 30 seconds:

 

[Bixby Snyder]

He could fix or mediate mostly everything on your list. He’s retarded but lot of that is his own making.

His head is gigantic and hats don’t fit so he jams them on that big ass noggin and they leave red marks.

The red mark from the other day looked like it was just a single swollen lump. Not ‘my hat is too tight’ but ‘I may have hit it on something’.

His foot also looks like shit. I bet hospital staff would find examining him the same as a homeless person

He knows he's a retard and he's perceived as such. A chunk in the Floorlord Episode has him crying about 'having enough trouble with women" and he brings up his 'tism on the reg as an excuse for why he is the way he is.

He's a retard and he's aware he's a retard, so he tries the "sexy bad boy" shit to make it seem as though it's not mongoloid obliviousness, it's him being too cool for the room. When he lets his guard down, though, he's fully aware that he's a loser.

 

[crying and shidding]

Do we knoe what Josh did at Job Core? I know Stephanie supposedly dud her A+ Computer Support certification, but I can't find anything about what HE did there other than fuck a grapefruit.

when Mr. Green was hanging out with him Cobes said he was there to learn 'office admiration'. of course that is just what he said, who knows what he can actually remember. we were talking about it here maybe ~300 pages ago.

Josh wanted to be a Mechanic, but he ultimately was designated to Office Administration and that's what he learned. He answered phones for Boxelder Job Corps all day.

I have sympathy for folks like Cobra. The man's got some issues that no realistic amount of work can fix, but he's trying to enjoy himself. He ain't anywhere close to perfect and he has some fixable issues that would probably make him feel better in the short term, but change ain't easy either.

I hope he can learn to love himself while improving himself, since one of the things I've noticed is that a lot of folks prefer not to change because being reminded of what needs to change can make people feel worthless. It's not the need to change that makes those feelings valid, it's the way you respond to them.

Or maybe he's just being momentarily self-reflective to allow himself to continue being as he is. I did say he isn't perfect.

 

[Bogliacci]

I'd have sympathy for Jersh if he wasn't a god awful person. He touts himself as being a humble do gooder, which we all know is just to signal his virtue, talking about what he would give up to end mass shootings, to end war, to end discrimination. Shit that he never WILL give up because he knows it wont do diddly squat for those things. BUt he can keep saying it over and over hoping it makes you think he's a good person.

He is not a good person, he's not even a good satanist. He revels in the profane and even his same ilk hate him for bumbling that up too.

Thank you for that, I wonder what his life would have been like if he got the Mechanic's roll, even a bicycle mechanic.

I know what you mean, but I am talking from experience here he's going to need to have to reach rock bottom and realise he needs help before he accepts it, and he will reach that bottom several times before that happens. He's also going to have to confront a lot of personal demons along the way and putting it bluntly own up to a lot of shitty things he's said and done -

1) Everybody has a point or two in there lives if they drink they get a little too drunk and the Social and Physically safety's get disengaged. You admit to that girl you like you really really like them, tell your boss he's a cunt, eat a iffy kekbab and wake up with a hangover and half remberd things you need to apologise for, you'll piss off and upset a lot of people but after a while things move forward.

2) Your safety's are not just disengaged they snapped off and your free wheeling through a haze of alcohol and bad decisions. you destroy any friendships you might have had and you start associating yourself with people who are making equally poor life choices, you can't hold a job, your interests Wain and your dreams die as you only start hungering more and more for your escape of choice, even if you had strong will power once you don't know - you sober is no longer in control it's that weak ghost of a person the booze or drugs have replaced and it takes a awful lot to get back to you.


Josh has the misfortune of having Autistic narrow focus of interests, the teenage sense towards rebellion against the grain, and a additive personality he would have found himself addicted to something, if it wasn't drink it would be drugs (and he's doing them too), gambling or something else that alters his mental state as a way of dealing with a need for quick and fast rewards, because he's running on a more basic set of instincts he can't for lack of a better term a defair reward for a better sense of satisfaction he's more than happy to settle for the quicker faster if fleeting one he gets from being in a altered stated, he has fallen into the low personal sense of self worth, reward and gratification most if not all addicts suffer from and then it becomes a feedback loop of self destructive behaviour.

With his other problems drinking is going to be a fuck of a thing to kick if he ever gets to that point and sadly unless he finds a very good displacement activity to replace booze he's not going to kick it even when he reaches bottom he will just have passing periods where he does better for a while and then yoyo's back into addiction and each time the crash will be harder and the recovery harder.

I too think he falls more on the fuckhead end of the spectrum than good boy, but I have to keep in mind he's effectively a toddlerbrain and give him some leeway. His default mode is self-centeredness and the second anyone crosses him he feels as though he should be able to dish out a wholly disproportionate revenge because of it, but dude is literally working with a half formed brain peppered with routine hallucinations. He's not the worst guy out there, but he's only "polite" on his best days and kind of a dickhead on his worst. But it's the same way you treat a small, untrained dog. Yeah they can be shitty, but what can you really expect out of them most of the time?

 

[Bixby Snyder]

A lot of armchair psychologists critique sway between:

1) He’s a retard and cannot be held accountable for nearly anything. He’s just dumb and will do dumb shit. Don’t expect anything clever from him.

2) He’s actually fairly clever, not smart, but cunning is a better term. He will do shit that seems clever, will actively manipulate his ‘fans’ and often will be playing 4D chess with his trolls.

3) Somewhere in between. He’s dumb as rocks but still manipulative and occasionally clever —like a small child. This is where I fall, though it is easy to forget just how retarded he actually is.

His sheer stupidity is easily underestimated though

 

[TurdFondler]

Cobes has at least some theory of mind and can grasp conditional hypotheticals. He lies, omits facts and cultivates a persona. He's retarded, BUUUUUUT not a complete sped.
