Don't forget that people bringing up reactionary and bigoted views are fine and co, you're the asshole if you call them out on it cause then you've created conflict. Ready to emotionally and verbally shut down?!?!?!?! Ready to drink until you can't deal with these people? Ready to be ganged up on for having social views more progressive than those expressed in a 2005 family guy or south park episode? Wanna be condescending to by the most shallow and dumb pricks you've ever met? It's CHRISTMAS TIME LOSERS!

If you sit down and focus on the audiobook, yeah, that's reading.

I listen to them while I work, which means I'm paying somewhere around 90% attention. I get most of it, but I won't deny I sometimes have to focus on something at work and then miss several sentences or paragraphs of the book. That's barely reading lol

I like listening to audiobooks while traveling and walking to places, sometimes cooking and doing chores. It's cool, because you can really focus on the content and still do something that doesn't require much focus.

Don't get me wrong, this is basically the only way I can even read books. Doing only one thing actually gives me anxiety because I have productivity brain poisoning lol
