Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

What are the living standards in CWCville? like HDI, GDP, economic activity, unemployment rates,, and all of that important crap.

1 for 1 with Charlottesville even accounting for the magic and robots.

What are the living standards in CWCville? like HDI, GDP, economic activity, unemployment rates,, and all of that important crap.

It's likely.. fine for the sonichus and rosechus living there, but unpleasant and impoverished for the people who dislike Chris. Keep in mind, Chris Chan isn't actually running the logistics and dumps all the work onto his assistant. Imagine a sorta foresty area with large trees(likely whatever oaks grow in virginia). There are large buildings and malls which have toys and groceries along with mcdonalds scattered around. The sonichus creatures being animals likely live in there little burrows and tree houses and there are a few big houses for proffessor oak, Bob and Barb and Jesus Chandler himself.

The unemployment rate I'd imagine would be higher than the national average since alot of the sonichus may not have official jobs and likely eat whatever seeds and berries hedgehogs eat. The sonichus may mostly work part time just to afford treats and maybe buy videogame consoles, but they don't ultimately NEED jobs. Though some may work full time with some sort of skill or trade.

The average wage would likely be less than 800 dollars a month.

So essentially cwcville is a second or third world country, though you will have the protections of a Goddess if you manage to impress Chris by making fanart or animations for him.

Like if you ever wanna imagine what Cwcville is like: just take Ruckersville and Charlottesville, add some pastel-colored cartoony lego buildings all over, fill it with silly cartoon stuff and you're good to go. Except maybe a little more high concept death and destruction too. Like giant robot fights and buildings burning due to supervillain attacks. Also there's like 20 soup hotels so poverty is probably pretty bad, despite rather luxurious attempts to manage it.

Cwcville's kind of a sleazy place even just in the comics, what with the drug addicts and hobos all over the place.

I don't know about HDI. But the HDL is low and LDL astronomical.

It's often been said that CWC's "oestragel" was illegitimate because it was off label. While it likely was DIY/not prescribed, that kind of treatment IS prescribed occasionally to transwomen.
It's actually an open secret that ALL HRT for trans people is technically off label – even if insurance covers it.

Don't forget the 'no darkies' signs at the entry roads.

I was reading this post, in which it is mentioned that Chris has been blocked by hundreds of LGBT, bronie, and furry accounts. A thought came to my mind. What if Chris goes even more crazy due to this rejection continuously building up?

Compare him to Charles Guiteau, the guy who shot US president James A. Garfield in 1881. Many people, including his dad, thought he was insane. He tried to join the Oneida free love community, but was continuously rejected. They called him Charles Gitout. Eventually he got a hair up his ass that if he killed Garfield then Chester Arthur would assume the presidency and give Charles a Paris consulship. He believed Garfield was going to destroy the Republican party.

Charles proceeded to pester the secretary of state who eventually got all angry and told him "Never speak to me again on the Paris consulship as long as you live!"

So Charles borrowed $15 to buy a high-caliber revolver, believing Garfield to be so strong that he could crush Charles with a single blow of his fist if attacked with anything less. He wanted a cool looking gun because it would be displayed in a museum, but the one he wanted with the fancy ivory grip cost a dollar more than he could afford and the dealer marked the price down by a buck to make the sale.

Charles went to target practice and immediately got laid on the ground by the recoil of his new gun. Over the next couple weeks, he got more proficient, and so he shot the president.

Garfield took two months to die painfully of infection because doctors back then didn't think handwashing was important and kept poking around in the wounds with their grubby fingers. He probably would have been out of the hospital in a couple days with modern medical care, and even at the time, if they'd just left the bullets in the wound he would have recovered just fine too.

Chester Arthur did not send Charles to Paris. Instead Charles Giteau was hanged. The gun was placed into the care of the Smithsonian museum, which promptly lost it.

You can check your kitchen and there's probably some Oneida stuff in there. The Republican party is also still around but I don't think they make silverware, yet.

 

[D is for Stupid]

The differences between him and Chris is that Charles was easier to anger.

Chris, is little harder to anger especially now. But he did pepper spray that random game stop employee back in the day. The difference between then and now is jail, he finally got some form of punishment.

Also chris wants to be respected, not political power. He knows he doesn't want to responsible for shit. But if he could be king or tyrant, he probably would try.

But holy shit the similarities are almost even. Especially the ego!

I don’t think it would do that much psychological damage.

The most you would expect is him uploading a video onto Youtube, flailing his arms around and screaming like a banshee for everyone to unblock him whilst crying about the Idea Guys.

Chris was already socially awkward before his whole "internet fame", besides stalking Megan, he would only hang around with Kim Wilson, his dad and the Magical Man; Chris has never really had that much or never really did care to have that many friends.

As long as Chris gets money and pussy cock blocked, he really doesn’t give a shit about being popular.

He might be heavily medicated on antipsychotic medications as part of an agreement to his release, but I do see a lot of similarities between him and Charles.

He may not care about being popular, but he definitely cares about getting attention. In his mind, the two may be equivalent: his narcissism drives a ridiculous amount of his behaviour and interactions.

This is one of the reasons why I believe that there's some tard rage brewing up inside of him. Whether or not that comes out explosively remains to be seen, but he's had several significant shifts in his life since porking Barb, is emotionally- and mentally-unequipped to deal with them, and they're largely not for the better or under his control.

He's developing new behaviours. While that doesn't necessarily invalidate the old ones, the patterns are changing as a result. How that impacts current and future events is anyone's guess, but he's changed significantly since The Motherfuckening took place.

There may be some frustration built up inside him, but from what we all have seen over the years, Chris always gets over rejection pretty quickly.

Take his Fuck Quest for example: Everytime one of Chris’s "sweethearts" left or if he figured out that they were a troll, it wouldn’t take that long for him to accept a new one and he didn’t seem that badly heartbroken by it.

And when any of his enablers leaves him, he does not even notice that much and continues on selling his shitty card games.

Completely agreed, and I wouldn't reject any of those possibilities as indicative of potential future behaviours. It's just not clear as to what extent they may still apply.

Despite Chris’s past fits of rage, he has always been considered quite mild, it’s unlikely he would become suicidal or start committing other criminal activities.

At most, we are only likely to catch him vandalizing store products in a protest, but in regards in pepper spraying, threats of violence or rape, I think Chris has actually learned his lesson this time.

In regards to his sanity, Chris is just a little delusional with some messiah complex, but a lot of lolcows often show these behaviors after being caught out for stuff.

Yep, he's nowhere near likely going to go on a shooting spree or anything of the sort. But a defensive hedgehog ball, CPU goddess blubbering, and tears after being given a GTFO order by a security guard at <insert premises here> followed by a trip to Western State Hospital once his background is realised by first responders? Totally possible. I could even see a mild physical contact incident (pushing, shoving, maybe a slap at most) happening. Not much beyond that, though.

In regards to his sanity, Chris is just a little delusional with some messiah complex, but a lot of lolcows often show these behaviors after being caught out for stuff.

True, but there's one big difference at this point in time: he's not in Barb's sphere of influence - at least, not that we know of.

Barb both fed into his behaviours as well as exercising some degree of control over them - not completely, but the influence was definitely there. With things as they stand now, he's basically free-ranging and having to develop new habits as a result. In a way, he's having to do at the age of 42 what most people do at around 18, which is leave home and develop into an adult. That's difficult enough for most sane folks, but this is Chris we're talking about.

By no means am I suggesting that this is the only influence; there are definitely a ton of others and they all feed into the whole. This one seems significant, though.

It’s not really Barb people should be concerned for, I already know that the likelihood of Chris ever stepping foot back into Branchland Ct is slim to none, when I mentioned the incest rape thing, I was genuinely saying that Chris would unlikely rape anybody anytime soon (as in other potential future victims).

But I do agree with you that Barb had a negative impact on Chris’s moral compass.

Despite Chris only having a certificate in graphics/computers and only having short past careers in marketing and fast food, had he not made a complete ass of himself online and actually took any of Bob’s advice, Chris may have actually lived a fairly normal life and could have been married by now with children.

We could play doctor and dive deep into Chris’s psych, but it would only lead us further into a deeper rabbit hole than we are already in and the wanting to know of the unknown will only end up driving us all crazy ourselves, but I can understand your curiosity and your thoughts and questions are as good as anybody else’s.

Nobody will truly know whether or not Chris will finally snap, only time will tell.

As did Bob. More:

Except that both Bob and Barb did everything they could to keep him away from the developmental help that could have let him become a normal person. Bob's advice may have been well-intentioned, but it was being given to someone who couldn't (or wouldn't) act on it. While I have no sympathy for Chris, I do recognise that he was dealt a shit hand in terms of his parents and that they absolutely screwed him over in terms of him having a shot at a relatively-normal adult life.

We could play doctor and dive deep into Chris’s psych, but it would only lead us further into a deeper rabbit hole than we are already in and the wanting to know of the unknown will only end up driving us all crazy ourselves, but I can understand your curiosity and your thoughts and questions are as good as anybody else’s.

It really is the Chris-Chan Watch-and-Win Sweepstakes at this point, just minus the prizes.

Let's talk CADD.

First of all, it's far more common for this field to be called CAD, computer aided design, though it's also relatively common for community colleges to use non-standard terminology for degree programs, as well as offer baby versions of said programs like "electronics technology" for electrical engineering with only high school math.

What did Chris do for this program? He allegedly only completed two works, but these are perhaps just the only two major projects he was proud enough of to publish. There's no doubt he worked on many other "odd jobs" as school assignments.

Chris's CADD program was focused on 2D technical architectural drawings from what it seems, though he likely learned other forms of CADD as well. He took very little CADD compared to gen ed in school, and likely only the bare minimum to graduate.

What opportunities could he have had?

Perhaps a job as a draftsman, though I doubt Chris would hold up well in that environment.

Chris seems to have warped spatial skills. This doesn't fare well when it comes to making highly precise drafts. He created a shopping mall with enormous corridors and relatively little space for the stores themselves. He has no sense of conservation.

Also, the CADD program is defunct, and as mentioned on the CWCki, majoring in just CAD these days is like majoring in MS Word. If you want to be an engineer, architect, designer, animator, or even an artist, you WILL learn CAD. It may be as relevant to you as coding is to a CS major, or conventional Western staff notation is to music performance major.

I think the architectural firm will hire the guy with more architectural training who learned CAD.

CAD is something that my former animator friend was forced to learn in the form of MAYA to keep up with the latest innovations in her studies. CAD is something taught to little kids who tour one of the many "STARBASE" programs that the US Air Force uses to get kids excited about 30-year-old technologies. CAD is used to design metal parts to be machined, plastic pieces to be printed, and even circuits to be etched.

"CAD" as a term is kinda like "Video games". Saying you like to play "video games" is like saying you like to read print media. Are we talking novels, comic books, tabloids, funny signs, physics textbooks, owner's manuals, tourism pamphlets – 2020s shoot 'em ups with Polar Express graphics, games that ape the NES classics, your grandma's Wordle, Wii Play, the real Polybius, fucking Putt Putt Enters the Race.... BE SPECIFIC.

Chris basically majored in something a layperson wouldn't realize was so vague.

I do think Chris deserves SSDI though. It undoubtedly costs the US government significantly more to bomb innocent bystanders in third world countries and send people to a tuna can in space as a PR move than it does to give all the autistics their tugboat. Is it fair? It would be unfair to force the people who have the hardest time conforming to try to, especially if their functioning is just high enough that they could drive, cook basic meals, or even program – making it seem like they should just try to not be autistic. In a society that oddly seems to have rekindled an interest in strict etiquette, active listening at all times, and higher sensitivity to situational expectations, this ain't a good time to be autistic, unless you are good at programming and can work from home with the camera off. Some people just aren't cut out for the workforce.

Random thought: "Sonichu" said he voted for Lisa Simpson in the 2020 election because her presidency was to follow the end of Trump's term and she would lead the USA once the dimensions combined or whatever. Obviously it didn't happen because this is real life, but Chris keeps moving the goalposts on what the true endgame of the merge is, posting about how most of the world's "shifts" are being interrupted by Putin making MLP G5.

That said, Trump was just re-elected. Could this be the post-jail return of the Dimensional Merge?

 

[AnOminous]

Some people just aren't cut out for the workforce.

He'd require such intensive and constant tard wrangling that the cost of the wrangler would be more than any value he could bring by doing whatever is within his limited mental abilities. He's gross and scares children so he'd offend customers, so it couldn't be public facing. He's too much of a retard even to flip burgers or make fries, because he'd somehow burn himself or set the place on fire. He'd get in the way of other people with his tism fits and impair their efficiency, too.

There just really isn't any positive to having a tard like this around.

He'd even fuck up the "give a retard a pointless job" jobs like Wal-Mart greeter.

1 for 1 with Charlottesville even accounting for the magic and robots.

A bit off-topic, but I get so sick of people using the "because the robot is magical" trope.

Like when robots go sentient and don't take over the world and try to kill us but try to make it the world a better place. And they can't be killed because of course they're magic and they have a soul.

Of course now that I've said it that will probably be what Chris does in the next issue of Sonichu
