Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

Yeah, that's the case with the last six cats he's had. There are a bunch of wild cats living in the overgrown Chandler yard, so when Chris wants a new cat after one dies, he just grabs another.

Chris getting stray cats certainly comes from watching animal rescue videos.
For each cat died, instead of "I think I should stop taking any cats", he thought "It's a learning experience, I'll take care of it better"

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." - Albert Einstein maybe

the quote dosen't appear in text before 1980
here are various forms from 1980 to 1983
i chose 1983 becaise that's the first citation found that's not a NA text

“When I came into the program, I heard that insanity is doing the same
thing over and over and expecting different results,- Jensen, James,
Step Two: A promise of hope (Hazelden Foundation, Center City,
Minnesota 1980)

Insanity for us seems to occur in tragic cycles, much like Russian
roulette. We are forced to play because we have tried and can't stop -

Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different

Unfortunately, Susan didn't remember what Jane Fulton once said,
'Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting
different results. - Brown, Rita May, Sudden Death (Bantam Books, New
York, New York, 1983)

Does Chris still wear Makeup? Or did he stop because of the effort needed to apply foundation properly?

I've seen zero photos of him with makeup since the initial tomgirl phase where he bleached his hair. Even for cosplay he is not doing it. You know, it takes effort and stuff. Like how styling your hair does, or picking clothes that actually fit and matching them up non autistically. I would love to get drunk and watch a video of Chris trying to follow a makeup tutorial, but that's only a pipe dream.

The drama over Sockness's attempted visit has some parallels with the self-inflicted taint wound. Both times Chris was fine with it, until his contacts caught wind of it and screamed at him to stop it until Chris only partially caved in. With the taint wound, he went to the ER but lied his ass off. With the Sockness visit, Chris half-heartedly told Sockness off but resumed chatting with him again after the drama died down. With the taint wound, the inner circle was able to call Chris on his bullshit and badger him into going back to the ER for real treatment. But with Sockness, he's learned to be wary the next time he tries to make a trip, so it might be too late for Chris's contacts to intervene then.

14BLC is a literal landfill. Imagine how many air freshener plugin things they must use now. Back in the day, CWC admitted that 1 of them wasn't enough for the stench in just his room.

It's a shame this "this inner circle" can't teach him to monetize his shit correctly. Which indicates to me that no one actually care about Chris's well being they just want his clout. Maybe I'm just being cynical.

Every time people try to help him he basically complains about stress or rants about merge shit so most of the people have given up.

People have tried but Chris always fucks it up.

Waterman got Chris to monetize the comic on Etsy, setting it up so that he could gradually do pages in exchange for money. But then @DStecks happened and Chris got overwhelmed by how many pages he owed and crashed into slumber.

Someone set up monetization for Chris's YouTube and tried to get him to make regular videos. But Chris was dissatisfied with how much he was getting ($80 after one stream) and he eventually lost his monetization and is too dumb to set it up again.

Null tried to help with screening Chris's email to separate wéen messages from legit business dealings, but Chris alienated him with his reluctance to get psychiatric help and his habit of derailing conversations with fantasyland bullshit.
