And rage baiting people. I could have read so many books by now with this time over the years

dont worry even if you read those books you would be dead one day and all that knowledge will be gone either way.

truth nuke

There are bots here and on all social media whose purpose is to keep replying to you in argument to drive "engagement." They make you stay on the site waiting to continue the argument while you browse other threads, perpetuating the cycle until you spent all night on this timesink of a board.

Then go read a book, dude. Kindle Unlimited kicks ass. I read trash RPG-lite books constantly. The reverse isakei RPG-lite sector is better than ever before. Or go to Royal Road if you are cheap. When arguing online becomes more work than fun, you need a change. If you take breaks, it can become fun again, dude. Who cares who is right about political escoric bullshit? We should be just having fun going over this shit not trying to win like Redditors.

It's a living hell.

There are so many good choose your own books nowadays I love them. Only thing that keeps the dread away these days.

In a couple of years you could read the entire essential western canon from ancient greece to today.
Yet here you are.

>>520151555
In all fairness, I would be depressed if I lived in the UK, too. Your situation is more valid than most other flags. Shit is bad.

>>520150970 (OP)
Yeah, but that might cause you to see your reflection in the mirror or something. Talk about some nightmare fuel.

digits of truth
it is truly the most demoralizing time-sink ever invented.
not in and of itself - there's a lot the retards here could accomplish it if they put their minds to it.
yet they don't - that's the last nail in the demoralization coffin

>>520150970 (OP)
You have plenty of time to read books and argue online. You are just retarded.

>>520151610
Right! 100% agree. The only reason I do the Kindle thing is that the best of the best of Royal Road makes it to Kindle. So, less looking. Book 2 of Nocturne right now. It's good. English may not be dude's first language, but I love these types of books, so it's fine.

They are just comfy, reminds me of my childhood reading old 80s and 90s adventure books that my grand dad had bought for my uncles and they had never read, they were so pulpy but really fun reads.

Same

CYOA were amazing, and the nostalgia factor is unparalleled. I think I might have been the last generation to even know what those were. I don't even know if those are still a thing kids read. They are just dime novel fun books. Nothing complicated or esoteric. Just good stories simply made to entertain, and they always land on that front.

>>520150970 (OP)
But you did read books. You read all those comments and analyzed them. All those years. You might be one of the smartest people alive.

>>520152583
I was born in 2003 I was the only kid who still read those, never met anybody in my gen that actually read those types of books. Probably explains why I was friendless lmaooo.
Nobody really read, only a couple girls and they were always reading just romatic smut.

>>520152928
Nope, that was true for millennials too, dude. I have vivid memories of being the only person reading a book during school throughout my entire childhood, besides chicks reading smut in HS. I was born in '91, so you just gave an old fucker hope for younger people.

>>520153258
>Nope, that was true for millennials too, dude.
man that sucks I really though that things were different for older gens, I used to write my own universe and had a big phone book written out following a character I had made and his travels. It was great fun I have the phonebook at my moms place. Honestly nothing has been as fun as that. Wish I could have stayed a 15 year old forever.

>>520151100
Only if you believe in materialism.

>>520153258
I read books at home. I was blessed with a large fiction library. Which I was reading because I had nothing to do. I read 100s of books on Aliens, spy books, Space and Math. The spy books really made an impression on me. Suspense, Sex and Money.

>I waste so much time arguing here
I like to take that to its extreme logical conclusion and argue that the "here" is hueman life on hell on Earth. Yes, in the course of our lives we will come to regret the various questlines we missed out on, but come on now, it was a silly game to begin with and will be a silly game when it is all over.

>>520153552
Ah, you're still young, dude. Different ages have different advantages and disadvantages. Immerse yourself at whatever stage of life you're at. It just changes; it doesn't get much better or worse. Being young and old seems to be the weirdest bit of being alive, from what I have seen and experienced.

It might have been slightly better at one point, but it was before us if it was. I was the tail end of the CYOA era. They seemed to fall off in the mid 90s.

>>520150970 (OP)
99% of books are just system approved /pol/ shitposts

>>520150970 (OP)
You wouldn't read books you're addicted to easy cheap dopamine and you're in the right place. If you told me 5 years ago that we'd have President Trump doing ICE raids on anyone who looks Mexican while asmongold is streaming tucker Carlson interviewing nick Fuentes I would have laughed but here we are. Keep doing your part its working.

>>520153876
Same, but my flavor of fiction was sci-fi and fantasy. I remember meeting maybe 1-2 real book nerds throughout my entire childhood. Those were all my friends. We moved around a lot, so I saw a lot of school districts before I got out, and it was a rarity to find one. So rare, in fact, I never met one in my own grade once.
