Rest in power, King.

There is still so much about this that truly disturbs me. There's no changing it now, but I wonder if Clint or any of the other adults in his life ever considered 5150ing him? I mean, it was always stated that Josh was "disabled." One would think that getting a "disabled" adult in for a 72-hour evaluation (with a history of numerous, documented wellness checks/suicide attempts) couldn't have been that difficult?

I daresay Josh would probably ended up liking the psych ward. You get coddled all day, 3 big meals (with the option to pick them yourself), access to snacks/games/arts and crafts, It's like an adult daycare. And corny as this sounds when you are in the absolute Hell of an alcoholic existance where everything in your body hurts, you are living in filth, and even the liquor you crave only provides momentary relief the psych ward feels like fucking Heaven by comparison.

When I made the decision to get sober, I literally walked into a hospital with the DTs and told them about my alcohol abuse, was immediately admitted, and spent a month in there detoxing, eating real food for the first time in years, had a clean bed, went to therapy sessions and arts and crafts and you know what? If I had known it was that "easy" to get sober and get the help I needed I'd have done it much sooner.

Someone had told me years ago that quitting alchohol on my own would most likely kill me and my idiotic ass took that as a reason to keep on drinking. "I'd address it someday," I said. I mean when would I have had the time? I had to pay rent, I had pets and roommates. Things holding me back. It kills me that Josh didn't technically have anything him preventing from seeking treatment. Everything was provided for him so his life would still be there when he got back.

Such a fucking shame. It could have been so much different. He could have had a chance. It's too bad he didn't have anyone close enough to him to step in, as uncomfortable as that may have been, to at least try this. Even if it didn't stick the first time, at least they could have tried.

Anyone with eyes could see that the Boy was living in a state of utter filth; his feet alone showed that he probably hadn't showered in weeks or months. And those abscessed teeth! Clearly an adult with teeth like that (that must have been painful af) was CLEARLY not equipped to care for himself. Rotting teeth are like ticking time bombs. They can lead to sepsis which also leads to heart attacks and other organ failure. Clint, come on! I mean no one even tried to convince the Boy that dentures might not be such a bad idea? He could have even gotten some painkillers out of the deal for a few days (a risky tradeoff but I still think those abscessed chompers were a greater risk than some pain pills).

Anyway, I'll stop sperging now. I took me days to even comment on his passing because, like many of you, this hit me very hard. We all saw a bit of ourselves in Josh. And because I overcame my own decades-long struggle with the bottle it kills me that I couldn't find a way to let them know that getting sober is not as scary or hard as people make it out to be. Don't ever let someone try to convince you that you will "die" if you try to get sober, that is just regarded. There are resources out there and people to help.

Sorry it had to end this was, Josh. But so mote it be.

Agreed but maybe someone can at least ban the obvious cocksuckers like Ojama-Dama so they don't shit up the thread for all eternity? If not, people are gonna keep stepping up to rip on them for mischaracterizing Cobes like the absolute retards they are. I mean Ojama is just doing super-basic level concern trolling but of course it's gonna get a response by people trying to defend a recently-deceased person.
 
I think i hit cobra video withdrawals, even weight lifting instagram midgets remind me of the boy

Thats just one type of viewer though.
You may not understand lolcows at all.
Theres a multitude of reasons as to why people watched cobes. The same for most lolcows.

Maybe you like when he gets angry.
Maybe you laugh at the silly shit he says.
Maybe you enjoy a nice drink combo.
Perhaps even a dank food hack.
Maybe you tune in for the vocal covers.
Or the wicked sick guitar playing.
Maybe its the cast of characters.
Maybe its the wand making.
Maybe its cause you feel had for him.
Maybe its to make you feel better bout self.
Maybe its the mead.
Or the album recordings.
Or a drunken wreck.
Or just plain ole regarded.
Or even cause hes a just gross slob.
Or just cause hes interesting.

With cobes you could just keep going. Theres so many different reasons people watched cobes. So many populars genres of content people watch on YouTube cross paths with cobes content. Thats why the outpouring is so widespread also.
 
It’s too bad Cobes was never be honest about how much he was drinking and imbibing. Impossible to help anyone when he was actively hiding what he was doing. Just a shame.

I dunno man, as bleak as it sounds I think this is the end game. I can't stop thinking about this photo where Cobes looks pregnant, it smacks of ascites which is caused by cirrhosis of the liver. [source: Fishcakes - Internet Doctor] and he would never go to the hospital, the fact he let almost every tooth in his mouth rot out is evidence of this.
I think one day he's just gonna flop on the floor and Clint's twice monthly check in won't be in time.
I wish he'd go and get a health check.

To be fair, it's not our job to police what people are doing when it's not breaking the law or harming anyone (but themselves, in this case).
I think most of us were expecting him to hit rock bottom and then find the motivation to bounce back but he just dropped dead.
 
Josh was very honest and open about alcohol and how bad his habit had gotten.
I mean he wrote a song about drinking and dying alone... </3

I used to be hopeful because in the past he went to the dentist if he had actual pain. Some of his front tooth-nubs earlier this year did look like a dentist "filed" them off but with him streaming less and less, it was hard to tell what was going on.
 
I’ve known a few people with special needs children or siblings, and something no one likes to talk about but that weighs very heavily on them is the fear of what will happen to them after they (the parents) die or the pressure to become a caretaker for vulnerable siblings. I hope Cobra’s family in their grief can also find some comfort in knowing he never ended up on the streets because no one was left to watch out for him.
 
I had a dream about this fucker last night. I snuck onto a train where there were no more seats left available and when I got off on the destination cobes where there saying he's all good. He was taller than I thought, for some reason guy was like 6'4"

Don't even dream of family members when they pass and I'm not a huge viewer. Sneaking onto a train with no seats and meeting Josh seems like an obvious metaphor for death. Maybe I was chocking in my sleep and cobro used his magic to wake my shit up TWU
