crabrock posted:you're under no obligation to accept a brawl, but turning one down makes you look a huge wimp. They've only been turned down a handful of times, to the best of my knowledge (you'd be better off asking Kaishai, TD's resident archivist). I might be wrong, but for some reason I think Benny still has a poo poo load of pride and that was why he never changed. Maybe that was earlier on? Anyway, I'd like to thank you and the other thunderdome people posting in this thread, not for encouraging Benny, but for showing me the thunderdome because there are some good stories in there and I like reading them. Now let's all eat, drink, be happy, goldmine this thread, and ban Benny. Praise Allah.

I just hoped that maybe accomplishing something toward his goals (writing) would A) dispel the fantasy that he'd ever get a career doing that and make him think about getting a real job and B) show him how it felt to actually finish something and get him on that path. but he'll never accomplish anything until he gets his brain fixed, which he seems to refuse to do, so gently caress it.

Aqua Bear posted:I might be wrong, but for some reason I think Benny still has a poo poo load of pride and that was why he never changed. Maybe that was earlier on? That's probably it, actually. Don't alcoholics and other drug addicts usually have to hit rock bottom before they'll start owning up to their poo poo and making genuine changes? I don't think Benny's hit that point yet, because he's too comfortable where he is. Free shelter, food, entertainment, and all the time in the world to do whatever he wants - there are probably a billion people in this world who'd kill for that. He's actively disincentivized from changing, since any stab at independence will lead to more work and hardship for (probably) a lower quality of life in the near-term. He can maintain his self-image because his lifestyle is OK.

What's going on here now anyway? Last thing I read was like a year ago when he thought calling into work hung over was a clever lie to cover for something else.

Dr_Amazing posted:What's going on here now anyway? Last thing I read was like a year ago when he thought calling into work hung over was a clever lie to cover for something else. Oh, Benny? Having followed our advice diligently, he's gotten a nice editing job, moved out of his house into a cozy 1 BR flat, and is now dating a Comicon booth model. He's currently negotiating with Pearson and Random House for the rights to his novel, which is in final stages of revision as we speak. Word on the street is that Random House is using underhanded tactics to try to win the bid, and the developing scandal is becoming known as Hentaigate.

What a masterstroke troll this would be if his intended goal all along was to get us so addicted to his story that he could get us to fund his new pilot that he plans to pitch to NBC called "That's My Benny!". Expect the Kickstarter page to be up soon.

Fugue Stater posted:That's probably it, actually. Don't alcoholics and other drug addicts usually have to hit rock bottom before they'll start owning up to their poo poo and making genuine changes? "Rock bottom" is an extremely subjective thing, though. It can be mild behaviour/consequences for one person and extreme behaviour/consequences for the next. You can't really predict what anyone's "rock bottom" will be - some people can lose pretty much everything in their lives and still not be motivated to change. Benny shouldn't need the threat of bad consequences to motivate him to get his poo poo together and move out of home. Most young adults do that because they want and value independence, not because life at home is absolutely terrible. Benny seemingly has home circumstances he legitimately wants to escape and yet that's still not enough to motivate him. I definitely wouldn't count on him hitting any meaningful "rock bottom" any time soon.

Expect the Kickstarter page to be up soon. Kickstarter? Are you insane? You'd have to actually finish something to get the money out, then --- do that other service instead, where you just have to write a pitch and can cash out whether it results in anything or not. That's the Benny Way. Actually, Benny works great as a cautionary tale. Do you want to settle down and (to quote a custom text) amount to nothing in life? Nay, I say unto you: gathering moss is uncool, so be thou like the Rolling Stones.
