Benny, doesn't it bother you that most people in this thread, myself included, think you are a lazy gently caress that has put no real effort into becoming a normal functioning adult?

That we think if you actually gave a poo poo, listened to advice and learned from your mistakes that you could probably have your own studio apartment by now?

Do you care about anything except your comics and the other media you consume?

Stop taking the easy way out all the loving time. Make a loving effort, leave your comfort zone and you'll surprise yourself.

I asked that earlier and his response was "gently caress them" :)

Benny, if you're really serious about going on disability, just go into the periodicals section of the library and start masturbating while eating the pages from a March, 1972 issue of Time magazine one by one.

I've been reading from the beginning, but I can't for the life of me recall which town/city/whatever Benny lives in. Anyone know off the top of their head?

I'm trying to be less of an internet jerk to Benny so in case he's removed the exact city he lives in I will say that I live in Edwards California and Benny lives about an hour and 45 minutes or so from me just to give you an idea.


Benny I have an idea for you, a serious one this time. Flipping library books isn't going to make you money you have to know that. But you are a lucky person in that we live in an area with awesome thrift stores. There are well off people here who would rather donate stuff then go to the effort of moving it. If you really want to flip stuff spend the time and educate yourself about high end clothing/shoes and start spending a lot of time in local goodwills and what have you. Learn basic sewing so if you find something awesome that just needs a quick stitch fix you can do it. Check ebay to get an idea of what sells well.

I don't sell the stuff I find but just to give you an idea since I moved here I have found:

A schotts perfecto motorcycle made as a limited edition for two years in the 70s. I paid $15 for it I have had people offer me $1000 for it.

A 100% wool Ralph Lauren women's trench coat. Brand new, retails for close to $2000 I paid $7.

I've found quite a few Ralph Lauren dress shirts and suits but I don't buy those. A quick look though tells me the black label stuff can retail for close to $2500 so oops.

Acne Studio boots sell for about $300 or so on ebay and retail for about $700 I have found two pairs one for less than $50 one for just over $100.

Countless pairs of new and nearly new Nikes.

Brand new steam cleaner that retails for about $220, it needed a drop of hot glue so it would dispense water works perfectly now.

A bunch of other stuff but since you probably won't read this post I'm tired of typing now.

Hey not that it matters because you probably won't apply or whatever, but Goodwill sells books online. I had a job doing that for a while before I realized what a poo poo company they are and how they exploit the disabled. It was absolutely dreadful and the only thing that made it tolerable was the 30 minute lunch break I got every day to read by myself, but there were some people who worked there who actually enjoyed it. It paid okay too, although I think having a (real, not fake) bachelor's degree secured me a good $4 per hour more than the hillbilly who packaged our books for shipping.

HR Here:

Disabled individuals often get paid significantly less because of their disability because of institutionalized limits on pay because of their limits. Otherwise they would be entirely unemployable. So the government tells businesses "okay, you can pay this mongoloid 50% of the normal wage because they are 50% as fast as a normal".

Now they can make an income and be a semi-functional member of society.

More than that, he asks as if he will rule the whole idea out completely if he doesn't get an answer he likes. As if he were in any position to be "too good" to work for any particular company.

Anyways, Benny, selling books from the library is fine. Have you done anything else? Selling books from the library shouldn't take up much time. What else have you been doing?

Benny, since you don't have a degree (probably not even a high school degree) and since you are retarded, you probably should get your mom to sign you up for disability so you can keep enjoying your comics without having to worry about all this grown-up stuff that you aren't equipped to handle

this would require effort, so he's not willing to do it

I doubt he's put the effort in to understanding the grading system of comic books, since I don't think his are so much "comic books" and more "manga" and whatever the word is for porno-manga.

At this point it doesn't really matter whether he has one or not. The benefit of having a degree has been effectively canceled out by literally everything else that he does.

I've been following this thread since day one, but I don't remember if anyone suggested Leapforce or Lionsbridge to him yet. I've been doing Leapforce since this is the dry season for my business (I crochet stuff) and it is really mind-numbing search engine rating.

Of course, you have to post a minimum number of hours so maybe not.
