Before work and during my lunch I get about an hour and a half each day. Sometimes more when resting after work. Probably do more of that when summer hits.

Weekends I try to do at least six hours a day or thereabouts.

I'm surprised when I hear that many people actually read as their 'being lazy' activity. But these seem to be the people reading entertainment books like game of thrones.

I do set a certain amount of time to read everyday. But it's more about getting through a certain section than a specific amount of time. The books I read are certainly not entertainment, and my authors are often harsh masters. I really have to make an effort to stay focused.

Hm, no, not for the most part. I don't have a unified style, nor do I normally write that way.

To explain what I said meant to me

>the recesses of his can do
A can of Mountain Dew
>that let's trannies post
He feels threatened by transpeople, they make him uncomfortable. The can do attitude, that they don't have to hide, concerns him. He combats this by directing it into visceral disgust; because I disgust him, he applies to term to me.

>post
obviously, posting
>modern
Postmodern is some sort of special writing style that it takes great finesses to accomplish, when actually it's merely writing that does not conform to modern style.
>on my site
4chan
>site for sore eyes
Posters providing sexual attention to me disgusts him.
>That's bullshit

>It has a dick

I actually masturbate to a detailed fantasy of myself utterly destroying you with say, a sledghammer or something. I hate you to a degree that I feel I'm actually creating a wonderland and tulpa of you, which I torture within my mind. I do this along with the aforementioned shitposting of teen help websites and hiring/humiliation of prostitutes. I in fact make them read you and butterfly's posts while I whip them, and have branded several with a combination of your tripcode and butterfly's symbol. Pics or GTFO? Well just ask faggots. I don't have any saved now.
