Patrick’s Christmas Day 2023 is the most depressing thing I’ve ever witnessed

I’m pretty sure most readers use kindles and don’t read physical books anymore. My father is in his 60s and hasn’t opened a physical book in years - everything he reads is through the kindle.
I just read something to the contrary about this recently. Physical books still dominate sales by something like 3:1 vs e-books.

That’s interesting, I guess people still want to have bookshelves full of books. My father is a big reader with a pretty large bookshelf but also doesn’t like “clutter” so he reads everything now on the kindle.

Also interesting that Pat claims to make so much from e-sales yet physical books sell more and we’ve seen those awful numbers.

It's like saying you're a big fan of steak and eating at Applebee's. He doesn't get it. He's a low IQ autistic narcissist.

My wife loves science fiction. She reads tons of science fiction books, watches dumb fuck, low budget Sci Fi channel movies, and loves to play stupid, boring sci fi themed board games. You know what she doesn't give a single fuck about? Star Wars, Star Trek and Dr. Who. That's rube level shit for Sci Fi fans. Real Sci Fi fans like smart, thoughtful shit - thought exercises about what could happen with science and how it could impact real people like her. That's science fiction. Not Ronald Dumpf and space Chilis. Not intersectional feminism projected onto space crabs.

Pat, you're an idiot. You write idiotic shit because you're an idiot. I actually had my wife read In The Black and she thought it was dumb as fuck. She, a person who devours science fiction novels, thought your book stunk. Her specific criticism was that the book felt like it was written by an idiot. Take that to heart if you stumble upon this, you jack ass. You're not a good writer. Crawl back to Target and hope to god they'll rehire you. You're a 45 year old, career bum who radiates ineptitude. Happy New Year, you bum.
Star wars isn't science fiction which explains why he likes it. It's "a western in space". There's no science in the original trilogy. They aren't talking about some extention of the current quantum theories that are unproven but plausible that make the shit possible. It's just magic. It's a fucking space western with fantasy magic.

I've never known anyone as autistically obsessed with the star wars universe as this fat retard. It's garbage intended for children but this waster slurps up every bit of what they pump out.
It'd be one thing if it was Star Wars as George Lucas intended, but this is all post-Lucas Disney garbage he's crazy about.

$25 for Christmas Carol


$21 for the Hot Sauce book


This is assuming Niki bought them full price and didn't just find them on a "take a book, leave a book" cart at the library.
He mentioned going to the book store, she gave him a 50 buck gift card a few weeks ago and didn't even see him Christmas.
