Meet Richard Seese, who has brought me much joy over the years. After clogging up the personal lolcow thread with his antics, I've decided just to make a thread. (I only recently started archiving his antics, and he likes to go back and delete things. So you're just going to have to trust me on some of his history)
I mostly ignored him up until he got married, mainly because this image...
...caught my eye. It's the most depressing, pathetic little wedding cake in the world. It's sagging and crooked and so half assed looking. And the fact he and his wife thought a shitty scifi show was so pivotal to their lives that it warranted being on their wedding cake struck me as kind of lolcow worthy. I went back to look for wedding photos and... well...
That this was his and his friends wedding best inspired me to start digging a little.

He's an enlightened atheist secular humanism, democratic socialist (aka Bernie Bro) and former MENSA member. With his shiny University of Phoenix degree in hand, Richard has been taking the IT world by storm. Or at least trying to.
Yes, clearly the only reason he can't keep clients is because he's an atheist secular humanist in the south. It's not possible it could be that he is a cunt who talks shit about his clients online and tries to price gouge them. Being 'screwed over' by clients is a running theme for Richard. Seriously, every week he's begging for new clients, or bitching about the clients he has or bemoaning that he has to work at all.

There was one time he tried to get a real job in the four years of me paying attention to him...
He didn't get the job. One of his references gave him a bad review, apparently. And in his mind, the logical next step to being turned down was to try and sue the city!
Unfortunately for him, he couldn't find a lawyer. He spent weeks bitching about how it was an open and shut case, but all the lawyers in Arkansas were just too cowardly to take on the city. Of course, he couldn't afford to pay them, but once the lawsuit was won he planned to pay them out of his settlement!
This wasn't the only lawsuit Richard wanted to file though.
( I have no screen shots of this clusterfuck, and I really wish I did. I went back and looked, and he'd purged them all out of existence. )
Richard was living in his mother in laws house with his wife. Richard was making little to no money, and his wife (who I really feel bad for, so I try to leave her out as much as possible, even though she's pretty cowish) was unable to work, due to developing fibromyalgia and depression after a month in Navy boot camp. Yeah. Eventually she got sick of taking care of two 30 some year old adults who did nothing but play Minecraft all day, and kicked them out. If you ask Richard, it was a truly dramatic event, where he and Amanda were forced out of the house in the night, with only the clothes on their back (and their computers, and their cats, and their big ass TV and game consoles). Instead of renting a u-haul and going back like a normal person to get the rest of his junk, he wanted to sue her for all the shit they left behind in her house, and 'damages'. The lawsuit actually went through to small claims court (after he begged the internet for the $20 filing fee), and technically Richard won their shit back, but no damages. The big problem was, apart from a box filled with his old bills, she'd donated everything to a religious charity or just thrown it out in the five or six months it took him to try and sue her.

But now, Richard and Amanda were homeless! So they did the logical thing and moved into a camper with his parents. Not a trailer... a literal camper.
And he did indeed frantically fight to buy a house. How? He opened a GoFundMe to raise the $1,000 down payment on a house. He promised a myriad of incentives to his donors... ranging from making chain mail and steampunk jewelry to computer repair and IT help. It took a long time, but he eventually begged his way into his goal. The fall out was pretty funny. He never fulfilled any of his rewards, and burnt many bridges in doing so.
They did it!!!!!! But the house...
It's a sad little tear me down in the middle of nowhere in White County. What you have to know about White County is that it's one of the poorest counties in Arkansas. It's full of mostly hillbillies, and students attending one of the three religious based colleges in Searcy (the major city of White County). I lived there for a year, and it fucking sucks. But anyway. This is the part where things should get better, right?
Nope. It turns out Richard hates his parents, and they seemingly hate him too. His dad does mean things, like tells him to get a job, and tells him to get a job again, and won't use his food stamps. (Which he basically had to work full time to get ). Mean Dad is apparently a terrorist and a moocher. I don't have caps of it, but apparently Dad has really extravagant food expectations that suck up all of his social security benefits, like eating eggs and meat every day. But it can't be microwaved!!! (I should note, they don't have an oven or full sized fridge, or a washer and dryer. They've been in that house like two years, and between four people, they haven't managed to save up enough money to buy anything).
He also has shit internet, which he needs as badly as water. Recently though, there was some kind of good news! Kind of. Richards wages were garnished, but maybe he was going to get the fast internet he needed to make the big bucks! And Dish Network pulled through! Keep in mind, Richard has $2 to his name when he decided to put a down payment on Dish Network. He really thought he'd get his 'stolen money' back before Dish Network cashed in the payment. Naturally, it bounced and somehow Dish Network became evil and slimy.

Unfortunately, this is another saga where I don't have many screen shots. He was posting and deleting them within hours. But luckily, he has a lot of it on his website!
One of the main reasons Richard doesn't want a job, and why he thinks he's above a retail or fast food place is that he's 'disabled'. His story has changed a few times, but it usually changes between 'a broken back' and herniates disks. Personally, I think he's just fat and sits on his ass all day. He (and Amanda) have been trying to get on SSDI for a while, but neither do anything that would help them get approbed. He has like, a ten year old x-ray that he thinks is the golden key to a tug boat, and he gets bristly every time he's told to get new x-rays or a MRI, or basically anything he would have to pay for. He used to smoke a shit load of weed but since he moved he hasn't been able to find a connect, so he's resorted to trying to get pain killers from doctors because honestly, if I was him, I'd want to be high all the time too.
But the story begins with Richard going to the ER because he was supposedly in so much pain after picking up a bottle of soda he couldn't sleep, walk, and had shit himself numerous times. The ER gave him a few pain killers and told him to go see a doctor. Richard couldn't be assed to go see a doctor, and instead went back to the ER a few days later. The ER basically said "You've been here multiple times before, you never do follow ups, and you seem to be coming back just for pain killers" and required him to put down a $200 deposit to be seen by a doctor since he wasn't deemed an emergency case by the nurse practitioner. Richard, being poor, didn't have $200, so he threw a tantrum and left.
Instead of just doing what he'd been told and following up with a doctor, he decided to call the local news station and compared the deposit rule to a legalized death panel.
No shit, Unity Health, which owns all of the hospitals in White County black listed him afterwards. His doctor dropped him as a patient, and he had to jump through hoops to find a new one willing to take him on after his little publicity stunt. He eventually found one, but he only saw that doctor a few times before he was dropped for being 'menacing'. He found a shrink in Searcy, but she dropped him after a urine test (I had no idea shrinks would ever do this) showed he had drugs in his system that couldn't be accounted for. My theory is he was taking Amandas medication, since she was kept nice and pilled up because of her fibro. He said it was what he'd been given in the ER, but that had been weeks before the test.
It gets better.
He drove Amanda to her doctors appointment some weeks later, where he wasn't allowed to go into the doctors office with her. The doctors nurse declined to refill her prescriptions for klonopin, ambien and tramadol, three very easy to abuse drugs, because the pharmacy reported multiple doctors calling in the same scrips (Basically, they failed at doctor shopping) When he heard about it, Richard went bananas and the doctors office called the cops. But if you listen to Richards version, all he did was stand in the parking lot.
I don't know what happened with Amanda and her medication (she doesn't post on FB much and Richard only mentions her when it would get him pity points) but eventually Richard found a doctor outside of White County who gave him Adderall. He still bitches about having to drive so far (particularly since his tags are expired and he doesn't have car insurance and STUPID DAD won't let him drive his truck) but it seems like once the ass pats from being on the news fizzled out, he shut up about doctors and drugs. But if history is anything to go by, he's due to start stirring shit with his health care again.

The main reason I finally caved and made a thread for him is that he's been getting awfully salty again. After he got fired by Dish Network, he started getting bitchy about his "only source of income" being cut. He's acting like a 12 year old in his fights with Mr. Sesse, while turning down actual job offers because they don't meet his retarded standards. Recent, he's come up with a stellar plan, and despite saying he wasn't going to beg, failed to make it 24 hours before starting to beg. I've watched this guy a long time, and I'm pretty sure he's about to erupt again.
