If you read books on a screen you do not deserve to call yourself a reader. What is become of you is nothing more than a foul hybrid of man and machine, as you glibly embrace your own declining faculties through the dependence and impatience you've fostered to convenience and novelty which is only the manifest destiny of a humanity which is slowly turning into race ruled by technological leaders and STEM majors who as we speak are gutting the literature departments around the work to play into the false god of profit and money making which has plagued our culture and replaced contemplation, because people think that technology will replace the need to think.

Fuck you and your foolish submission to this insidious snake of a technological liar, masquerading as the cute and innocent, oh so blank and cold, battery powered as if by life support which you must constantly plug in, as though plugging in yourself tethering you to electricity, piece of lifeless plastic which uploads data to its memory card like they will soon upload your brain into a chip, so that you can carry yourself around in a computer body so you can escape the cocoon of skin wrapping up flesh and blood and sinew and guts, like a christmas balloon. Fuck you and your subservience to technology, fuck you to hell.

Anne frankly, I did nazi that coming. I literally came here to say this but boy, that escalated quickly so to the top with you! Lost it at 'This is why we can't have nice things' and then my faith in humanity was restored, my mind blown, and manly tears were shed. Well said. As a 'murican, I can confirm this gem has just won the internet and is doing it right. Just sayin', I know that feel, bro, and while that was a risky click, this post was a 9/10, 11/10 with rice, would read again. I see what you did there and it feels good man. You're doing God's work, son. I laughed way harder than I should have at your list that seems legit and totally nailed it. You - I like you. You magnificent bastard; you, sir, are so brave, a gentleman and a scholar, and seeing how you are a redditor for 4 years, this checks out, so I'll allow it. I regret that I only have one upvote to give for this cool story, bro. CTRL+F "about tree fiddy" was not disappointed. Wait, why do I have you tagged as "NOPE NOPE NOPE"? Nice try, you monster. You are now banned from /r/pyongyang What did I just read? Dafuq? I read that as "YOU HAD ONE JOB". I can't fap to this. No true scotsman could see that this relevant XKCD was bad, and you should feel bad. You must be new to reddit, so I'll see your cakeday and raise you a karma train. One does not simply rustle my jimmies, not even once. Jet fuel can't melt dank memes, that stahp gave me cancer for science, so that's enough internet for me today. OP is a fuzzy little man-peach, 2/10, would not bang. What is this I don't even know how is this wtf? Fuck Jenny. Circlejerk must be leaking.

But library books are icky. What should I do, buy books and further deforestation of our planet, you stupid AIDS-ridden faggot?

Dude, I read on a tablet because I don't want to pay the publishing jew, it's that simple. I don't really care for a medium, letters are fucking letters anywhere.

This is the only acceptable reason, but buying used books or going to a library is still better.

Yeah cause I definitely want to fill my meagre living space with hundreds of dusty cum stained books that I will never touch again after reading once and will cost me 3x as much as an e reader.

If you read printed books you do not deserve to call yourself a reader. What is become of you is nothing more than a foul hybrid of man and machine, as you glibly embrace your own declining faculties through the dependence and impatience you've fostered to convenience and novelty which is only the manifest destiny of a humanity which is slowly turning into race ruled by technological devils who as we speak are making a mocking of the work of industrious monks to play into the false god of profit and money making which has plagued our culture and replaced contemplation, because people think that technology will replace the need to pray.

To be honest I'm a bit too abusive to books (at least the ones I own, and answer to no one else about their condition) to adjust to tablets--that is unless there is a big one that can take serious punishment, and hit the floor from bed level 1000 times without a flicker. Is there no tablet legendary as that certain Nokia phone you could nuke if not for the EMP? Something for a not-so-fastidious Descartes whose study-posture is also predominantly supine?

If you watch film on a screen you do not deserve to call yourself a film watcher. What is become of you is nothing more than a foul hybrid of man and machine, as you glibly embrace your own declining faculties through the dependence and impatience you've fostered to convenience and novelty which is only the manifest destiny of a humanity which is slowly turning into race ruled by technological leaders and STEM majors who as we speak are gutting the film departments around the work to play into the false god of profit and money making which has plagued our culture and replaced contemplation, because people think that technology will replace the need to think.

Fuck you and your foolish submission to this insidious snake of a technological liar, masquerading as the cute and innocent, oh so blank and cold, battery powered as if by life support which you must constantly plug in, as though plugging in yourself tethering you to electricity, piece of lifeless plastic which uploads data to its memory card like they will soon upload your brain into a chip, so that you can carry yourself around in a computer body so you can escape the cocoon of skin wrapping up flesh and blood and sinew and guts, like a christmas balloon. Fuck you and your subservience to technology, fuck you to hell.
