And it probably won’t live up to this one

If I was the girlfriend’s father I would have paid this young man a visit long ago and had a very serious talk with him about expectations and responsibilities.  

You can get a brand new car for a hell of a lot less than $30k USD. If money is tight that’d be the least of all to do. From there you can look at second hand, ex demo, ex lease or whatever and save more. That or take a loan and spread the costs out and make some of that 30k available for immediate living costs if…

Hmm. 

If the mother’s income is sufficient to cover all of the household needs, that’s absolutely true.

The father’s chosen profession, however, introduces another problem: Streaming, if it’s ever going to amount to a “career,” requires a pretty hellish schedule in terms of being “on” for viewers. The average denizen of the…

Or whatever, just lease something if it’s not realistically going to be getting a ton of use as the car of a full time streamer likely wouldn’t.

This article is a masterclass in the idea that it’s entirely possible to feel two conflicting emotions about two parts of an event at once.

On the one hand, I really do think the donation was incredibly selfless and kind, and KingMascot definitely comes across as a genuinely good person. The world needs more like him.

On…

Yeah.  I really want to feel good about the donation (and I do; it was a very nice move), but this--plus the fact that dude has a kid--is giving me pause.

This will only encourage him to keep doing something he shouldn’t to support a family. Random reinforcement is the strongest pattern of addiction so will only encourage him to keep going. Families don’t survive on swings they survive on steady income.

Crying for his child and girlfriend that have to suffer because of his idiocy, I hope.

He made bad life decisions and makes those around him pay for those decisions instead of growing up and getting a real career to support his family. Sad thing is people see this blog post as good.

“My girlfriend has worked full-time to support my career as a Fortnite streamer, so I owe it to her and my four-year-old son to protect and grow this money for their futures.”

OR you could, y’know, learn a thing or two about cars and avoid most of the typical minor issues that could befall a used car...

...said “skills” would also allow you to make a better “educated” decision on how to choose a used car in the first place.

Doing those things could end up saving you THOUSANDS of dollars in…

“My girlfriend has worked full-time to support my career as a Fortnite streamer, so I owe it to her and my four-year-old son...”

Yo this is horseshit, get a real job to support your family you fucking scrub. You got lucky.

Totally not staged for publicity.

Neat but I have a hard time thinking this will last him long if he spent most of his 30k on a single car. 10k used will get you a safe vehicle that will last plenty of time. Cars don’t get cancer just because they’re used...

This dude really makes his girlfriend work full time for him so he can play fortnite. She needs to break up with him. That's just wrong. 🤦‍♂️

“career as a Fortnite streamer”

“My girlfriend has worked full-time to support my career as a Fortnite streamer, so I owe it to her and my four-year-old son...”

Yeah that’s gonna be a yikes from me.
