no

Yeah I always tell people I read a lot. I listen to audio books while I play vidya and watch anime, though

yeah who gives a fuck

>>18847257
Well you do not have to do any reading to listen to an audiobook, do you?

>>18847257
Yeah it's all about how you process information.

not with a clean conscience

Is there video of her getting plowed by big black cock? I REALLY need to know.

>>18847280
this model is pretty shit

>>18847257
>Wow, shes heckin good looking???
>She's totally my wiferino!!!
Why are men this vapid? No wonder you can't find a woman when your ideals are meaningless

>>18847290
Why are zoomers like this?

>>18847257
I dont see why not? Been listening to dubliners before bed recently, super comfy

>>18847280

>Fertile attractive wife to mate with
>vapid
Seethe uggo cunt. Boys don't like you because you're plain, obnoxious, and tedious to be around. People are right to ignore you.

>>18847365
>nooooooo you can't desire a female with good genetics to bear your child!
that's literally the meaning of life any every action any man takes

>>18847444
Read Plato, not even joking. Start with the Greeks.

>>18847456
Why, so he can be into men instead of women?

>>18847472
You haven't read it, and I'm not spoon feeding you it. Check his wikipedia article if you can't read more than 2 pages of anything.

no

>>18847268
You watch anime while listening to a book?

>>18847257
Dont lie about anythinng ever. It impedes on your ability to make order out of the increasingly chaotic workd

>>18847444
>Physical appearance is the only genetics that matter
Ok

>I read, or well listened to a book
Is what usually comes out of my mind. No one fucking cares bro, why are you even thinking about this

>>18847257
you can, but it is a lie
and the very fact you are asking the question means you already know it

No.
But then again, there's not much value in making claims anyway.

The duality of women.

>>18847549
What is this video trying to tell me

>>18847514
As a male, youre attracted to whatever you think could bear a child, since in primitive times men had children with multiple women we werent coded to be selective

>>18847556
You love to see it

>>18847549
Why are girls capable of switching between personalities and mood so easily? Any books on this topic?

>>18847592
everyone can do this you autist

>>18847257
If it's something like current events or popular history then yeah--there's not a depth to the information and it's probably meant for midwits. Most genre fiction is on that level as well.

The main reason to denigrate audiobooks is the relative lack of control the listener has when it comes to interacting with the material. Yeah, you can argue there's pause/rewind but you're really just adding extra mechanical steps external to your thought process.

I know a guy who only listens to audiobooks. He usually has shallow takes on shit but he's still interesting when it comes to having a conversation. I know another guy who scoffs at anything other than written media...but he spends most of his time reading the political equivalent of Love Island. Having a conversation with him mostly entails being bogged down in esoteric detail that has nothing to do with any type of big idea or concept (e.g. I know the name of the senator from Iowa who said something racist--your critique of identity politics being an ideology is meaningless).

TLDR Depends on the specific piece of media when it comes to the format. People only listen to books usually have a baseline, however minimal, that can lead to interesting and fruitful discussion. Snobs who 'only read' can easily end up in an echo chamber and mistake being aware of esoteric details for having a valid narrative.

being a model is not a personality trait

You have been utterly corrupted by the voidhusk of neoliberal capitalism. Please work to fix yourselves.

>>18847918
ok, then disprove materialism

i read berkeley
i read the bible
i read the cathechism
i read the (neo)platonists
i read some buddhism
anything else?

>>18847558
to sort yourself out, otherwise that girl wont like you.

I have a job where i sit by a computer and do a very monotonous task. I get to listen to audiobooks when doing it, but i would never claim that I've read the books that i listen to. I read books on my spare time.

>>18847257
Listening is not reading. Just say you CONSOOMED a book.

>>18847933
Get the fuck outta here with that beta mentality

Perhaps the most debunked educational myth ever beside "IQ is an illusion"

>>18847268
you watch anime while listening to audiobooks? theres no way your soaking in anything from those books at all

>>18847987
Not him but you are doing it wrong. The onions jack in pic related is the type of materialistic consumer cattle that the guy you are replying to is criticizing. Using it on him doesn't make sense.

>>18848211
>IQ is an illusion
It literally is though

>>18847280
junk science

I used to think they were the same but they just aren't. It's a great way to get the broad strokes, but you didn't get the full experience. I put them on to go to sleep and its better than nyquil.
You miss a lot.
That being said, I don't look down on people who listen to audiobooks.

>>18847257
I do

>>18847257
She looks like Elliot Rodger

gr8 b8 m8, I Ir8.

"Reading" is a verb, for anyone who is actually confused.

>>18849162
Yeah, there's no way. Have you ever tried to read something while someone's talking to you? And if he watches an English dub, that's possibly even harder because he has a person reading a book in one ear and a person reciting anime dialogue in another.

>>18849243
LMAO this should be good. Go ahead anon. Explain.

>>18847257
I've had people tell me that they listen to audio books voiced by the author because it allows them to understand how the book was meant to be read in regards to timing and characters.
I def enjoy reading because I love thinking and audiobooks remove that and make it boring background sound (for me)

>>18847257
You can claim to have read a book even if you haven't listened to the audiobook.

>>18847444
>that's literally the meaning of life any every action any man takes
Yep. I was on a drug for a year that sent my libido to zero. I made me feel "why am I am putting any effort into anything." You genuinely, honestly are as happy as a NEET than as a billionaire. What the fuck is the point of working 60 hours a week and giant mansions, etc. if you have zero desire to impress women?

>>18851612
Being a NEET is an opposite extreme of being a billionaire working 60 hours a week.
The real life in working 2 days a week. Investing it all in crypto while living with mummy. Learning language, reading books and studying online all at the same time. Sets you up for a pretty good life with countless opportunities. You never really have to work hard and you never have to not work at all.

>>18847257
Yes, I always do that.
It takes too long to say "I listened to this book as an audiobook", so I just say "read". Plus I often don't remember whether I listened to a book or read.

No, it's objectively untrue. Just say you've listened to it, instead.

>>18847257
Yes, but if you're like >>18847268 then no.

If you aren't focusing on the reading and are giving something else your attention you might as well just not read. I used to play shooters while listening to podcasts and I could never remember anything so for years I essentially played video games (while solo) with no volume. And even then it was still up in the air because my attention was divided.
