The problem with that is I'm expected to believe that a decent tablet (with the addition of a stand and a keyboard which I would not go without) is worth over half of what I paid for for a lenovo laptop I just bought (before you make fun of me, it's just for travel and a backup in case my desktop fails).

I'm not sure if I correctly understood your post but a normal (ie. there are exceptions) e-reader is different from a tablet. They have weaker specs and instead of Android they run specialized OS's, so you can't really do much other than reading e-books (including comics/manga), but that gives them a very long battery life. And their defining feature is that they have e-ink screens which cannot display colors and have a very low refresh rate, but that makes them look more like paper (and it's good for battery life).
If you only cared about reading written books (eg. normal novels, light novels) you could get a small one for around 100 bucks, but if you're going to be reading comics (manga) a slightly larger screen may be worth it, I got mine on sale for 170 bucks or so.
If you really don't have interest in buying an additional device, then I guess my advice applies... about LNs ultimately being "cheaper" because each volume lasts longer. If you don't care too much about making a collection, you could sell your read manga/LN volumes though I'm not sure how much money you could get from that (though if you did care about making a collection, it would be better to make a collection of original Japanese volumes instead of trannylations).

>>196084
Which e-reader did you buy then? And I can assume I can just copy+paste all the ebooks onto it?
>e-ink screens which cannot display colors
That's something I can't go without. I'm not reading manga that was colorized with it

>Which e-reader did you buy then?
Kobo Libra 2.
>And I can assume I can just copy+paste all the ebooks onto it?
Amazon Kindles, being Amazon shit, are cucked and you have to go through some extra hoops to load e-books other than the ones you bought through their e-store.
For most other brands (including the one I got), yes, you can easily load e-books by connecting to a PC through USB and pasting the files (or using a software like Calibre).
>That's something I can't go without. I'm not reading manga that was colorized with it
99% of manga are black-and-white other than the cover and maybe a few colored pages as a novelty if not including gookshit.

A lot of doujinshi is colorized though

They generally aren't going to be friendly do you unless they're getting paid to do it (either because you're colleagues or something, or they're literally paid to deal with you), or you have a vagina.

Awkwardness is something that has to be unlearned.  Awkward people, as you say, don't know how to do things naturally. They lack spontaneity, not because they don't have it but because it's beaten out of them at a young age, and so they learn never to say what they actually think without careful consideration of whether someone will wound their pride again.  Someone might decide to put you back in your place so you learn to be as opaque and as unobjectionable as you can.  That constant hesitation is why some people can never be more than acquaintances.

The exception to this is people whose theory of mind is stunted for whatever reason, and never learned to grasp social protocols, or to intuit what other people are thinking.  This is something which must be learned.  And obviously it can be learned: level 0 is "don't play with your dick in public" and most people can wrap their heads around that.  It just happens that you don't get arrested for not grasping the further levels so there's less of an impetus to learn them.

I'm an atheist and I don't have existential dread, or find the idea of eternal death depressing

In my experience only those who have been raised with religious belief have existential fears like that. They shouldn't have been told a fairy tale but instead the hard truth - you perish forever. Then they wouldn't wrangle with existential dread.

I also don't get this coming from the religious:
>you're a nihilist! You believe in nothing!

Isn't believing that everything is meaningless if there's no eternal life a rather nihilistic belief? THAT's the nihilism.

>caring about "war"
The only thing I'm missing is a ((( car ))) and I can fuck off with all my camping shit innawoods. Mandatory insurance though? Petrol forced upon me? An overly high price, over half my paycheck just to slowly buy it so it can break upon being finally bought years from now? Without living with the parents I'll have to turn on the ((( cellphone's ))) sim too for net access, that's another gay bill. 

Anyway, in case I lose my job I need the car anyway so s for new job opportunitites. It's the only way they realistically let you win is through a ((( car ))). My "shtf' is just me having less money. ww3 probably won't even get the lights turned off. It didn't in the first two, depending on where you were. Stop romanticizing their drama. The powers that be just get a sort of cabin fever whenever bored. Who cares? Let them fly off to another country when they scare themselves and let another one rule. It won't make a difference. They won't use the bombs. If they do your plans won't matter. Priorities.

Fellow cornpops, we need to send moar money to our allies and go to war in the Middle-east, and Ukraine, and Taiwan too! Just remember to not worry about the mostly peaceful southern border immigration. Yeah, because this country won't survive if we don't get fresh new scientists and engineers.

I think Onaholes are point of no return tier, i once got a disposable one and all i did was ejaculate, i'm amazed i didn't hurt myself ejaculating soo many times. All i did was cum in my room to porn. I would advise to find something better to do with your time.

Get out with your ugly roastie pictures

Onaholes are cold as fuck unless heated and don't feel as good as your own hand. It takes a lot of effort to clean them because you have to dry the hole somehow. Otherwise water is trapped inside and it will become moldy and rot your penis off.
And you need expensive waterbased lube. TPE tears pretty easily and deteriorates quickly.
I have one but I basically only jack off with my hand.
Wasted money.
There's a reason it's not common to have these things in the west. Only tiny dick asians go through all that effort.

First version of reply: 

I'm scared of putting my bank info into sites that no one can review. A random imageboard user tells you to make crystals or delete system32 and I'm all like 'naw' but redditors don't let people discuss vendors and I hate social media so...... I never hardly get to use x new site. I should make a second bank account and just 'try it' but you do realize I'm a lazy asshole that gets stressed over literally OCD level shit. If I lose a pen I lose my mind, having a second card, where will I keep it? It will drive me mad before I even have it because there are so many bank choices and I chose NONE, my empoyer FORCED me to have a bank card. Anyway, thank you for the suggestion. I'll browse the two sites on my naughty vpn device and maybe later use my prim and proper device to buy it....... of which, anxiety. I do need a naughty card for the naughty cumputer, needs a bitcoin wallet it does, but will I actually go and do it? Naw. I'm saving up in case we're all canned right now, sadly, or I'd buy one for 500 usd easy. I mean, I trusted muzzleloaders and they put out, I love my gun :) and they left a box that actually said EXPLOSIVES and were supposed to have me sign but didn't. I laff. I just need to get drunk and order one then I can finally cuddle as I sleep. It'd be a pain cleaning it so I'd mostly cuddle it or press against it while cumming in my coverse. I'm a creature of habit obviously.

tl;dr: I'm a creature of habits that doesn't like new things. Pun intended (oh shit!). Get it? New things? It's a loli joke to go with the anti new site thing I typed. 

Second version of reply:

The point was that amazon and ali used to have a good selection of dolls and now they have literally zero, for the US anyway. Using vpn I still see them outside of the US for ali. I should not have to use a new site no one knows anything about especially if it means I am more likely to be spotted, more likely to be arrested, and about the pigs and real shit they could just plant the real shit don't be a fucking fool about this. My point was that they care and act like they're real, the dolls, one reason I used the silly nippon porn as a sort of visual pun. They care and that forces the one buying it to care, and when taking care one first hesitates. I'm saving up anyway in case I'm canned. 

Third version of reply:

Hmm..... I don't have money right now but I'm sure to eventually learn to use the Internet some day and actually have fun... I probably have seen someone post it before but didn't have money at the time. I feel like I have learned helplessness very often in life. thanks for the sites. I will browse them later.

<Web server is returning an unknown error Error code 520

<no online ordering blah blah email me so I can blah blah

I guess that second one.... but I like the faceless ones from the first one being under 400. I can just give it a mask. I'd go with the under 400 faceless one and I'm not fucking it anyway so I don't need to buy that onahole seperate. I'll just pump my plush covers as usual, dry is cleaner. Who wants to be all wet and smell and sticky? Yuck! And it'd smell like a guy afterwards. No thanks. Cuddle only, molest only, and I'll be clothed and a blanket will seperate us. And yes I am a psi pefectly sane individual. Then again taking care of the face would be a pain. cuddling in the dark it'd ideal for. But Rei or Asuka model if I had to choose.....

If anything you're less likely to get spotted since it's a smaller company that prioritizes discretion and It's better to support smaller companies than have all products centralized on Ali and Amazon.
