Phil Phaces Phinancial Phears - In which our protagonist seems to have a consistent thought on his mind.

Also he lists himself as 'self-employed at Izzy Hell Records'. I may be out of the loop, but I don't remember him having his own fake record label. I'm surprised he didn't go whole hog and declare himself self-employed as president of Australatina.

The Musical Stylings of the Autist Currently known as Phil.

The musical thing if correct is interesting, though he's not shown any recent interest in music outside of Hanson, J-Low and edge lord stuff he posts to Tumblrs autoplay.

He also lists five years of high school. 2000 - 2005. I don't know if that's accurate or not, but I know it's not something I would want on Linkedin.

EDIT: He also lists that he cares about "Poverty Alleviation" - Yeah, he wants HIS poverty to be alleviated.

Phil graduated high school at the age of 20, IIRC. He was held back once during kindergarten and once during HS, IIRC. He was also born in a cut-off year, which is something that allows children born by september, to go in to schooling early.

That's accurate, on all accounts - he was also in SPED classes for most of his high school but he supposedly hated ever moment of it. It's part of the reason he dislikes Chirs as well because OPL was never held back and he feels that he's vastly smarter than him.

Was computer science his major at community college before he was expelled for the lulzy McCain drawing or did he just pull that out of his ass.?

Graphics Design, he had some education based towards Web Design as well but it was really basic HTML coding that was supposedly complementary to the course being offered but was most likely a requirement filler.

He went to a "therapy school" until middle-school, which is a fancy term for a school that deals with disabled children exclusively. His high-school program was at a tech vocation program where he got his IEP diploma. It's a special diploma for special education kids in Jersey who can't complete conventional schooling, but they still want to "graduate them" for the statistics.

So wait does an IEP diploma count as high school equivalency?

Technically not, and I know a lot of places are phasing them out, but IEP stuff isn't my expertise. There's probably a kiwi member who can explain it much better. Anyway, it wasn't needed to enter community college for Phil.

Wish it was that simple. I thought Oregon was more renter friendly. But according to this intelligent looking website Phil gets 3 days to leave after not paying rent for a week (if that's the last straw) or a week of it's because he stank up the place. That's best case scenario. No changing the locks or anything like that from the land lord. Leaves time to get champagne.
Worst case: court dates.

As with most tenant-friendly states, though, there are lots of ways to gum up the works and delay an eviction by various slithery maneuvers.

At the point some problem tenant is creating situations where your other tenants could sue you for just keeping a complete asshole around harassing them and stinking up the place and creating vermin infestations, though, the landlord really has to go ahead and start the process of kicking them the fuck out.

Phil doesn't take hints, so someone has flat out told him he's gone if he doesn't ship up. Of course, he'd rather threaten suicide than just fucking clean up his room and actually pay rent.

Especially tattoos designed to offend and attack over 99% of the country; CIS Gendered people. He might as well have "Fuck You, Interviewer!" Tattooed dayglow orange across his fivehead.

The vast majority of people would have no clue what "cis" even means, and if you explained it to them, would be like, oh, that's a strange way to say "normal."

 

[The Dude]

Phil doesn't want to work but if he did the only place I could see him working is warehouse jobs. I worked them back when I was a student and there were multiple people with Phil tier prison tats.

LOL, I'd love to see Phil try to work even an hour at a warehouse job. They're very physically demanding and require both upper body strength and the ability to spend long periods of time on one's feet standing, walking, and lifting. And even though they don't require a lot of mental horsepower at a warehouse to be able to do most of the work, Phil would still be too intellectually lacking to be able to fulfill his duties. If brains were gun powder Phil wouldn't have enough to blow his nose. And then there's Phil's laziness...

Yea I've found a few of his old classmates, the majority are doing better than him one of them is working at Phils old WaWa in a position similar to Phil's old job, he's been there for at least 8+ years and is well liked from what I can tell. Phil only passed High School with lots of gentle coaching and loose marking just to pass him.

He got into FE on some program that I'm not able to fully work out but the best way to understand it is, getting semi-able speds better jobs than stockers and flippers.

Then there's the fact that even the nicest, most laid back warehouse worker would be sick of his shit by the end of the day. Phil would get "offended" at someone not using the correct pronoun of the day for him or manspreading on break and he'd get all huffy. He'd probably end up threatening to sue because people weren't being sensitive to his needs. Then there's the whole freaking someone out when they see him in the women's bathroom. I'm with you. I'd almost pay money to see him do this work.

Even his tolerant SJW e-buddies are getting sick of his entitled bullshit. Coworkers, especially in a blue collar job like warehouse work, would dress him down on his idiocy on day one. Then the furious bouncing and squeaking would begin and Phil would be employment deficient once again before his third day could begin.

 

[repentance]

I've been out of the loop on Spuds so I have to ask: when was the last time we saw the inside of the apartment? I'm fascinated by the fact he's somehow self-aware enough to fear eviction but also not aware enough to keep things even a little clean? Like, objectively, no one cares if you're not changing your bedsheets but you gotta keep your living room nice for company - and he knows this... but only when it comes to getting thrown out? Or something?

It's not just him, though. The apartment could only be "facing eviction filthy" if Toren also doesn't clean.

At least he would get his RDA of savage beatings.

Funny you should mention that....

[Xarpho]

Yep. I had the misfortune to represent in 2013 a mad woman who was up for eviction because she couldn't stop screaming about how all her neighbours were child molesters and sex offenders and all plotting against her because she was Maghrébine (Algerian French) and they were all Islamophobes REEEEEE. That really went down well in Bow County Court. In the immortal words of the judge, "Either [road] is a hotbed of brutality and depravity or the Defendant is lying."

It didn't work, but she said she was going to call down the wrath of the UN Human Rights Commission on everyone, myself included, because we were all plotting against her.

Somewhere in Portland there is a legal aid lawyer whose lot in life will soon be to represent Phil in Court over his impending eviction. I want to meet that person and help them drown their sorrows after the case.

That's assuming Phil doesn't move out, or do something stupid. After all, there are documented cases of law enforcement getting shot over eviction notices.

Do I think Phil will physically attack a deputy? No, but with Phil's fear of getting evicted, hatred of police, and his blustering about getting a weapon, I can easily envision a scenario where he publicly posts about wanting to hurt/kill whoever serves the eviction, and then getting busted for a credible threat. At that point his reason for being in court changes rather dramatically.

It's remotely possible his landlord has actually seen his crazy ravings about weapons.
