It do be like that.

I was having a surprisingly good conversation with my sister recently and I was talking about how one of the reasons I donā€™t read as much as I used to is because I donā€™t have the same resources I did when I was a 4th grader. When I was a kid, I could sit and read all I wanted, all I had to to was exist and go where people took me. I didnā€™t have to feed myself or pay bills or keep track of things, which of course now I have to deal with all of those things so I canā€™t read as much and tend to read pretty easy to read books. My sister brought up the really good point that, of course I want to read easy books, Iā€™m a young adult, in a very tumultuous phase of life, constantly being thrown new information, my brain doesnt want a classical novel, my brain wants something readable and immersive. 
tl;dr donā€™t feel bad for not reading as much as you used to, itā€™s okay. Read what you can when you can and donā€™t stress about the rest


But nowadays, there are so many more resources for reading that you can gain access to. Even though youā€™re busy and stressed out my life, that doesnā€™t mean you shouldnā€™t continue to strive to read whenever possible. Iā€™ve compiled this basic list of super accessible ways to read in the modern age.1. LibbyLibby is a library app, and it free to use. If you have a library card (which you can either pick up at a branch or online, depending on where you live), you put in your information, and you have access to your libraryā€™s ebooks and audiobooks. Generally, you can check ebooks out for two to three weeks, and it gives you the option to renew (if someone isnā€™t waiting in line for that book) or return early. Itā€™s super user- friendly. If you want to scam the system a little bit, a lot of libraries give you 30 to 60 days after making a card online to come in and actually get a physical card and show your ID. If you are looking for a specific book that your library may not have, make library cards at other locations with fake addresses and check out their supply. I personally have about eight library cards, so I always can find what Iā€™m looking for unless itā€™s super rare. 2. KindleWhile you can buy the actual Amazon e-reader, you can also just use the free app. There are a bunch of ebooks you can read for free, or for a low price. If you have Kindle Unlimited ($10/month), you can borrow up to ten KU books at a time for as long as you want. A lot of authors have KU books, so itā€™s a good way to go. 3. NookBarnes and Nobleā€™s Nook is similar to the Kindleā€”comes in a physical e-reader, but is also usable as a free app. I will say I find that their selection generally costs more than Amazonā€™s selection, but itā€™s an option if you prefer to stay away from Amazon products. One thing they do sometime around the end of the year is send you out a refund check for all the books that you purchased through them that were at a higher market price then they wouldā€™ve been elsewhere. Iā€™ve gotten like three of these, so I figure itā€™s a regular thing. 4. AudibleFor people who are sight-impaired or have difficulty sitting down and reading a book, audiobooks are SO the way to go. When you sign up, you can receive up to two free audiobooks, and whatever plan you decide to go with gives you two free audiobooks a month (from a specific selection) in addition to your credits! If you have Kindle ebooks, there is sometimes an option to purchase the accompanying Audible audiobook for a super discounted rate. If you donā€™t like an audiobook, you can call in to return it at any time. I have something like forty or fifty audiobooks from them, and Iā€™ve exchanged another twenty. These options are all in addition to physical books from your local library, and discount bookstores. The nice thing about ebooks is that generally they have the option to highlight and bookmark pages, change the font size and type, and even change the color of the page if you prefer.I always thought audiobooks were for old people until a few years ago when I was commuting about three hours a day for work. I wasnā€™t reading nearly as much, and as an avid reader, that distressed me greatly.Finally, I looked into audiobooks and it was a huge life changer. Instead of wasting three hours a day in traffic, I was reading for three hours a day that I wouldā€™ve otherwise not been able to. Not only does it make a trip go faster, but it makes it much more enjoyable.And even if you donā€™t want it for the commute or for the gym, audiobooks are a really good option for people who have vision problems. I have migraines when I stare at screens too much, so I pop on an audiobook and just crochet or do the dishes. I have a friend who has very bad eyesight, and he has not been able to read in something close to a year. I set him up with a library card and a Libby account, and all of a sudden, he was able to catch up on all the books he had been wanting to read!Iā€™m just saying, I promote reading because no matter what you read, youā€™re learning something. Even though life is stressful and crazy and distracting, there are still ways you can find to sit down and curl up with a good book.

Exactly the kind of response Doomguy should get when he walks into a room with other humans.


This is genuinely beyond big dick energy

Itā€™s honestly Argent Phallus Energy (APE)


Holy shit 

Everyone is talking about key-card guy, but my favorite is the dude who tries to hide behind his swivel chair. Babe, babe, No, Doomguy jumps dick first into hell portals on an hourly basis and pops berserker power ups like your mom pops xanax. That chair aint doin SHIT.Ā 
Also I love how they donā€™t just seem to be afraid of the fact that the apex predator of the Legions of Armageddon just walked in. They are acting like they think he might attack them, because you know the UAC has waged a serious PR war against Doom-Chad while heā€™s been kicking ass on Mars/Hell.Ā Ā 

ALPHA AF!!!

I just love the fact that DoomGuy spots the keycard on the dudeā€™s lanyard, and instead of doing a vicious yank, or simply snapping it off the lanyard like he always does, he very, VERY carefully takes it, and slowly pulls the dude to the scanner, before letting him go.For a dude filled with eternal rage and seething violence, that was remarkably polite of him. It was almost his ā€œā€¦Excuse me. I require this. Pardon my reach.ā€Then that poor marine. ā€œHey YOU! You canā€™tā€¦ beā€¦ hereā€¦ā€ DoomGuy just casually approaches, looks at him, looks at his gun, and then still remarkably politely, just takes it. Doesnā€™t wrench it away, or kill the guy, or anything violent. Just reaches out and retrieves it. Again, like ā€œYou are doing a fine job. Thatā€™s a fine weapon. Mind if I see it? *takes it and walks away*ā€Itā€™s as if heā€™s being very, VERY careful not to harm normal humans (or whatever augmented humans those armored marines qualify as), saving his violence specifically for the Daemonic.Kinda supports my idea that DoomGuy isnā€™t neccessarily a bloodthirsty raging psycho. Heā€™s a guy who has seen so much, done SO MUCHā€¦ that heā€™s calm. Heā€™s so far beyond wrath at the demons that heā€™s entered a weird Calm and just LIVES there. Nothing shakes him of it. He doesnā€™t grunt, he doesnā€™t yell, he doesnā€™t scream, he just breathes and moves on. New demon? Well, itā€™ll bleed like the last. He doesnā€™t revel in combat, he just moves through it like walking through air; itā€™s a function of existence for him.

Doomguy dissociating 100% of the time


Within the first few minutes of Doom 2016 and throughout much of the remainder of the game itā€™s clear that Doomguy values human life A LOT. Humans are never his enemy, itā€™s the demons. He looks at the dead man in the elevator as Hayden says something along the lines of ā€œI swear it was for the greater good.ā€ Doomguy sees right in front of him it wasnā€™t, and I betcha right then Doomguy was against Hayden. Doomguy doesnā€™t take kindly to crimes against humanity, even if accidental.
