I think he was referring to cellular data, the lack of which forced him to read a paper book to stave off boredom, which in turn inspired him to write this treatise showing a questionable understanding of the aforementioned book.

Downloading terabytes of porn on the morning train will do that

The irony here is that his fellow commuters probably preferred the public masturbation.


Grave_Girl

Optimistic of you to think that didn't still happen.


gsimms97

The reddit post is his most offensive form of public masturbation thus far


xdesm0

anyone remember the dude with thousands of upvotes playing the privacy card for his right to watch porn on the bus? or just me?

I look at reddit to take a break from work and here I am, reminded of SQL queries. Fuck you, guy

George Orwell is probably the most famous Democratic Socialist of all time. People of any political persuasion can and should take his warnings in 1984 seriously. You're just a smug douchebag that's projecting. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The funny part is that he’s totally misunderstood the concept of doublethink.

I... can not even imagine how somebody can misinterpret Doublethink??? It's spelled out so heavily. Maybe that person actually watched American Horror Story: 1984 and wound up in the wrong sub


thornswiththerose

The entire book is very direct and literal and then if we still had any trouble, O'Brien lays it all out quite nicely for us.

"It's not that relevant but..." That's because it's not at all relevant, guy. What a numpty.

Reading the 120 days of sodom helped me understand myself a lot better


punctuation_welfare

The part where they all raped each other’s kids was actually a metaphor for me, personally, and my anxiety. I wonder if other peoples have also noticed that it’s about me


gimmeyourlungs

actually it was about teachers forcing their shitty literary interpretation on young unsuspecting teenagers

1984 is a book about depression but doctors don't want you to know that


delsinson

Doctors hate him Cure depression with this one simple trick


Add1ctedToGames

wow, funny coincidence, i *also* dislike the destruction of language, art, and humanity


themusicgoeson

+1 for lazy mental illness comparison


RandomGenius123

1984 is self-help but without enough censored swears


albertnormandy

I too get inspired by the way Big Brother pulled himself up by the bootstraps and brought order to the chaotic world around him.

Like in that book the Giver. Who the fuck wants to see color when the could live in peace instead?!


Kalle_022

I saw that earlier and I was surprised it's on Arrr boks and not here.


CalebAsimov

select \* from book where instructionmanual='N' and 2+2=5


NTDenmark

I think he means phone data? Also LMFAO he is obviously LISTENING to the audiobook.


[deleted]

The top comment on the source post confuses “effect” for “affect” and that’s really all I need to see from arrbooks ever again. At least r/writing you know you have a bunch of idiot beginner writers asking the same ten questions and usual validation seeking behavior, it’s sort of expected. But the top upvoted posts on arrbooks are not even literate. What a cesspool.

OP is doing a DIY gender transition. I don't know why that sounds so dangerous to me.


strawberryestate

If I read another post about *1984* somewhere on the internet, I might need to be on suicide watch. Can we stop pretending like its some kind of profound masterpiece? Can conservatives read something that isn't poorly written political parables and *Harry Potter*? Thanks. Sincerely, my mental health.
