I read 5 books in January but then my pace slowed down. Used to be my primary hobby. Too much internet-I don't even watch TV these days. Any other brotherman all in with da books? WWAW with Kindle?

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice.
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
WWAW with reading?

read every day, most of the time.
Kindle does sorta take away from reading a "book", but you can look up words.

Yeah it's definitely a different feel but I like that no one can see what I'm reading.

More of an audiobook guy. I like reading but I always have shit to do and can't make the time. Someone ribbed me pretty good saying I was like a retarded child that needed to have things read to me, but hey, I'm busy.
I should try out audiobooks. I'm pretty much always listening to old Ron and Fez obsessively.
I've read like one book in 3 years. It's pretty pathetic. I used to read all the time.
I hear you on the internet thing. I rarely watch anything other than youtube videos of retards making food or a fat Hawaiian kid making sweet bows out of PVC and fiberglass rods in his backyard. Will I ever make a PVC bow? No, I won't.

Hell yeah, brotherman. Check out my highly popular Book Report series I did on here, I ended it with a review of one of Pat's books. I'm currently reading Sphere by Crichton and recently finished Night Film and Meddling Kids.
I watched way too much TV as a kid and I never thought I'd be nostalgic for when I had the attention span to watch a half hour show. I had to have a TV on at all times as a kid but now I rarely turn it on. Still need background noise, though so it's usually Ron and Fez.
You have to be in the mood or doing something not too distracting though. Even more than audiobooks, I like throwing on long talks or presentations on a bootleg YouTube app where you can hear the audio without watching it. I couldn't imagine sitting at a computer and just watching something like that for over an hour, but it helps getting through mundane chores and I actually learn shit sometimes.
Yea, i just play video games (rare though) and read books. I most read these days. I've said before that the only shows I've watched in the last 2 decades are the office and GOT. I'm to the point as well where I can't stand movies or make time for them.
I've never played a video game in my life. My brother tried to get me into them but I told him I'm not getting into video games in my 30s. Used to watch him play Zelda when we were kids though.
If I'm interested in a movie I usually end up just looking up the Wikipedia plot synopsis. I read the whole thing and I'm like "That sounds awesome. I don't have to watch it now though, I know what happens." I'm an idiot.
I read these forums constantly. That's gotta count for something.
Haha I do that too
It does.
I have a really solid book collection that's collecting dust and I have a few books I just ordered off of Abebooks coming to add to the pile. Maybe I'll crack the book I got on The Westies by TJ English- I heard it's pretty damn good as there's not much stuff out there about those crazy mick fucks.
I read every day. Though last few years just been reading translated web novels from Asia. At first just to save money but now I generally like the cultivation stories. More entertaining following a guy work and kill to reach immortality or godhood then some super hero fag born with power.
Brothermen here are like modern day philosopher
Re: the Kindle, I've started downloading epubs off torrents and reading them there. I'm usually in the middle of one on the Kindle and another in hard copy. I've stopped buying books because who knows if I'll ever even read them. I probably have close to a hundred I still need to get through that I paid for.
Borrowing library books on your Kindle is PFG, too. Only problem is if it's over 500 pages and you can't get through it in time. You have to renew it, but if someone else is waiting for that book, you have to give it up. And by the time it becomes available again, I don't care anymore.

I usually take physical copies out of the library because the kindle selection for my library is awful plus the other reasons you listed. I have to resist the urge to buy a bunch of books on Kindle because it's just too easy.
