Hello fellow responsible adults.

>>9834144
I leave for work in 4 minutes. Not much reading I could get done during that time, so here I am.

No I couldn't, I'm at work.

>>9835016
That's the problem with Stephen King books: they start out pretty decently and then end up being shit. You basically get baited into reading shit. I'm unironically excited for the upcoming Gunslinger movie though, because the movie adaptions of his books are always far better.

i am, on the public transport

No I couldn't. I'm in American Literature II right now and we're talking about how Mark Twain is a racist because he wrote Jim's dialogue in African-American vernacular.
The adjunct professor has pink dyed hair shaved on one side and gauges in her ears and a tattoo and piercings on her chest. I want to die.

>>9835078
You are absolutely correct. Except for "The Stand" which was really good, if a bit wordy.

>>9834144
I'm reading this post right now.

>>9835187
Why does that actually bother you, just in how it signifies degeneracy or does her presence invoke an actual bad feeling?

and no I can't because I'm a schizophrenic autistic nu-male on disability who can barely understand anything at all half the time. All I have to live for is my game.

No, you aren't supposed to enjoy your job, you should be raging right now. Recognize the superiority of enlightened NEETs

>>9837056
How do you get by being a NEET? Do you live with your parents?

Not trying to insult just genuinely curious.

There's no real difference between listening and reading.

This.

inb4 newfags doubt the proven expediency of holistic parsing of philosophy texts. Check the studies.

My day was pretty good as well. They usually are. Having a good job with good coworkers where I'm basically left to my own devices so long as I get me work done is a pretty good deal. At the end of it, I get to go home do a loving dog and wife, a home-cooked meal, a cocktail or glass of wine or brandy, and a comfy chair to do some reading and/or shitposting depending on how I'm feeling. The NEET life is fine, I guess, but I prefer not living it.

>>9834144
good point. thanks. later pseuds

>>9838216
My point was hearing a sentence and reading that same sentence, is the same, in its essence.
But if you read it, you can immediately reread it, thereby gaining greater context.
But while you reread one sentence 2 times, and think about that single sentence; you can listen to three or four other and unique sentences.

Replace sentence with books or a whatever.

>>9834144

I'll be reading before I go to bed.

>>9837730
You can choose the classes you take and the people you interact with. You can listen to people who are wrong. It does not make you wrong. It makes you stronger.

Or you can choose to do nothing.

Look for unabridged texts and for the most part that's it. Buy the ones with essays, commentary etc. only if you know them to be really tough books that need context.
