Money Trannyformer$ - Let me Clarify

[JULAY]

More than once we've seen him exhibit belief in that television idea that if he gives up a prize because it's the "right" thing to do, he deserves to be rewarded by being given the prize anyway.

"'I-I picked Julie for you! I picked Julie. I picked Julie! Gimme back! Gimme--gimme back, gimme! I made the right choice, give it--"

Also, I know it's already been said, but goddammit Chris. I honestly can't believe he is bitching about the fact that Blarb is actually spending more than the minimum on her credit debt. That's actually a good thing! Knowing Chubbs McKenzie, he's pissy about it because the more she spends on getting her debt cleared quicker, the less he has to spend on Legos, PSQuad, Transformers, and McD's.

It's a good thing... for her. It's a huge fuck you to Chris though. But y'know, mother of the year...

 

[Dr.Research]

I don't think she'd say that she intends to fuck Chris over when she dies. I'm sure she believes that she's only doing what she has to to survive, and she'll take care of Chris' debts later. He'll be fine! But yeah... I don't think that's the case. I don't think if they got to a point where they can comfortably spare some money, I don't think Barb would put it to paying off the debts she took out (in Chris' name).

She probably does figure that's the best way to go and while I don't she's trying to be malicious toward her son, I wouldn't be surprised if deep down (or not so deep down) she resents Chris and what he became a little. I don't think that comes with any epiphany that Chris being the way he is is due in large part to her and Bob, however. Hell, I can imagine her being pissed off that Bob died before her and left her with Chris.
But you're right when you say Barb obviously isn't looking out for Chris once she gets her Q-Sand from St. Peter.

"B-but would that get me new toys? Mmm, yeah"

I look forward to watching a 50 year old Chris continuing to ignore advice from a 75 year old Kengle in the decades to come.

Just adds to the general opinion that a lot of Chris' financial woes are self-inflicted, and since he refuses to accept any blame or responsibility for his actions, he makes frequent mooch videos so that other people can bail him out like he expects Humanity to do. Sadly, some people obey.

And this is why a lot of the "What will happen to Chris after Barb dies?" speculation is in agreement that he'll keep on spending every penny that comes across his hands on Legos & other crap (unless someone forces him to give them some money first, like Barb used to do) until the Sheriff puts the Eviction/Foreclosure Notice on the front door.



Somewhere out there, Phil runs out to the country with an empty mayo jar.

There seems to be evidence that he views bills and credit card minimums as money he is forced to pay. If he is ever in a situation where he pays rent, I imagine that will fall into the forced payments category as well.

If he is forced to fend for himself, I am sure he will buy all kinds of dumb crap. But I don't think he will be evicted. At least not right away. I think there is a possibility that over the years, the debt piles up so he can't afford the minimums, but in the short term he will view rent in the same way he views Barb hectoring him for money. Necessary, but annoying. The world is trolling him, but he has no choice but to roll with it.

Everything Chris has said is a bald-faced lie (bald-headed lie?), it's damage control. Fatty got mad because we were onto him, and were pissed about his huge crappy toy purchase right after an e-beg for necessities. It's just one big pile of bullshit excuses for why he was wasting a pile of money, and why we still should be on the hook to send him more money to cover his bullshit next time. We also now have solid proof he reads the Farms, or at least his current handlers do.

Ive actually been wondering this for a long time. I know Chris is aware of the existence of the farms, and he mentions them in this Facebook post. But is there any actual concrete evidence that he reads the farms? Also something that bothers me about this post from Chris, has he seriously spent decades dreaming of getting the right toys to play out one scenario he thought up in childhood?

I think he does scan the various threads, but I doubt he really reads into them anymore than "See, people are talking about me. I'm famous"

It's pretty much this. He'll read the occasional post but mostly he scans thread titles. And always when he visits, it's to find justification for whatever form his persecution complex is currently taking.

The whole "Chris doesn't read the forums!"-bit is a large part due to people having a tendency of posting rants directed to Chris himself if there was wide acknowledgement of him reading the 'Farms and for that reason it's better for the readability of the forum to always assume Chris isn't reading our posts even in the cases he was.

Marvin (and anyone else with more inside info) what is Barb spending her own income on? I know it is not cheap to be an old, but she must have $1500 or more coming in from her own retirement plus Bob's Social Security. Does it all just get pissed away on fast food and crap for the hoard, or paying the debts for past hoard purchases?

Not to powerlevel too much, but when my dad was Barb's age he had a fairly low retirement income, plus he was renting at that point, but he still had money left over every month. I know a bunch of other senior citizens with incomes around $2,000 a month who live comfortable lives in way higher cost of living areas than Ruckersville. If you own your house and the property taxes aren't exorbitant, you can do fine on that.

I don't really think he does more than reading the titles of the threads, maybe ocasionally taking a glance at the first post.
To him we're the bad side that comes with being e-famous, the dang dirty trolls who want to drag his good name through the mud, mislabel him and generally ruin his life just for the LULZ.

 

[Barley]

Do we have any solid info on Barb's health situation?
Are her teeth still falling out and does she still have bugs eating her ass?
It would be pretty shitty if you were wasting your money on toys when your mom's asshole is falling out.

I'm curious about Barb too. Ever since the court cases, I only see her mentioned when Chris complains about something related to the woman, taking care of her, Barbie's bananas, etc.
But, how is she? Is she actually on her "death bed" and Chris just doesn't give an absolute shit (besides taking care because he has to and she has to tell him to do it)?

We know she didn't like Chris being a tomgirl but I imagine ever since the trans thing, the girl clothes, the makeup, the vibrators, the pillow waifu, the sex videos and all the new silly stuff Chris does combined with the things he already did before, that must've affected her in some way, like she failed as a mother, as a woman, etc. (not that she didn't fail at that before but she never stopped to wonder those things). Did she just give up on everything at this point?

He reads alright. Though perhaps not close enough, because if he did that whole "reality" thing would probably catch up to him.

I think @Marvin has touched on this, and it seems the thread is heading in this direction. What kind of debt is Chris about to inherit?

Presumably most of Barb's debt would die with her, but apparently she's been taking out loans in his name (can we have links to source material for this?). Also, even though it is much more responsible to pay bills than buy toys, and to pay more than the minimums, Barb is still using credit card debt to pay those bills. Worse yet, it's not her credit card but Chris's. The way Chris describes this makes it seem like this is a normal and regular thing in his life. I agree that this isn't likely Barb being intentionally malicious, just disastrously short-sighted, but it really does seem that Barb is doing everything she can to make certain Chris assumes all of her debt. I've been interpreting the "What will happen to Chris when Barb dies" question as one about his mental and emotional health, and whether he'd improve or need to go into a home. However, now I'm wondering if he's going to have to file for bankruptcy while [not] handling a funeral at the same time.

@Marvin, anyone else knowledgeable about debt in situations like this, can you provide some insight on this?

 

[Subconcious Offense]

It's a good thing... for her. It's a huge fuck you to Chris though. But y'know, mother of the year...

Yeah, but Chris has no problems with that, he wasn't complaining about having to help Barb pay the debt, his beef is with Barb paying the debt beyond the minimum at all.

I'm the source material. So it's hearsay, unless you trust my word. (Though I'm sure you can find mentions of that sort of activity over the years.)

Well, it's something of a fine line. When I say that she isn't being intentionally malicious, I mostly mean that she can quote an explanation that isn't inherently inconsistent. Otherwise she doesn't seem to give any fucks about Chris' wellbeing after she's gone.

ut it really does seem that Barb is doing everything she can to make certain Chris assumes all of her debt. I've been interpreting the "What will happen to Chris when Barb dies" question as one about his mental and emotional health, and whether he'd improve or need to go into a home.

She's might not specifically be looking to transfer all of her debt to Chris. She probably just uses him to buy crap / pay crap off when it's convenient.

It's something of a "what's mine is mind and what's yours is mine" situation.

Yeah, but Chris has no problems with that, he wasn't complaining about having to help Barb pay the debt, his beef is with Barb paying the debt beyond the minimum at all.

It's like spousal abuse, but worse. Chris is Barb's retarded adult son who's never lived on his own and has never spent more than a week away from his mother, maybe. (And definitely not more than a month.)
