Play Pokemans on your 3DS.

Auditory stuff like audio books, language learning and music listening would be easy to do. There are portable morse code trainers with tiny LCD screens. If you play guitar, you can play a gripmaster.

>>845219 (OP)

Read political/economic/philosophical/spiritual writings. Most people strongly lack a good grounding in these topics nowadays since they dumbed down university ages ago.

Buy an ebook reader with a good size screen that can read pirated .epubs. The kobo ones are good.

Stop typing like a vapid teenage girl, you fucking faggot. I bet you talk with a lot of vocal fry due to all the dick that's roughed up your throat.

"I'm starting a job with a lot of commute time" would have been more than sufficient.

Apart from my suggestion that you stop being such a lisping power bottom, I'd suggest that you work on Project Euler or other puzzles or math problems. A lot of that can be done mentally.

>implying anyone would want to talk with OP the faggot

>>845249

Close, but no. Instead of showing himself as a submissive faggot OP should pick a target and stare at them for the whole ride.

>spend that time usefully

a job's a lot of work. long commutes are work in themselves. are you sure that 'useful' is what you should be worrying about?

I've have 3-4 hour commutes per day for the last five years or so. I've gone through music, audiobooks, podcasts, novelupdates.com, and books, and repeatedly falling asleep on busses. I go for a while on one thing and then I change it up. Occasionally I dream about being productive this time (more than reading productive books), but barring something like a Pyra or a Sharp Zaurus, there's not a lot of space and you don't want the attention.

>I have trouble reading long texts in that setting

uh, really? too autistic? Are you sure? Maybe you'll get better with practice.

Jesus tap dancing Christ on a cracker. How much do you hate your life?

>>845431

it's fine. I get a lot of reading in. It's not like I'm driving 3-4 hours. And that's per-day, adding the to-work and the from-work times.

bring your prostate massager with/within you. orgasm on your way to work

Sorry OP, I meant this website:

>>845458

They wiretap everyone 100% of the time. At least if your comms are going through Internet backbone and telcos. Of course some of it might be encrypted, but widespread "protection" rackets like cloudflare effectively negate some of that. Also can't really trust SSL certificate CAs.

How long do you have to travel?

Get a car like every normal person and not ride buses or trains like the assholes, if you cannot afford a car, consider changing your job in the near future. Or if you have a short distance then take the bike, usually much faster than the public goyim transportation shit.

>>845620

but you need a license for that

>>845654

Well why not get a license? Assuming you are young that would always be a worthwile investment, even if you are a citydweller, and then again distances under 20km are probably faster done with a big than with the assholebus.

You do not have to look at all the city dwelling motherfuckers, you do not have to pay money for that shit and you also do something for your health.

>>845620

>>845663

>falling for the car and petrol jew

Public transport in middle and big sized cities in Europe is usually good, so no need for those (((investments))).

>>845674

It is absolute bullshit, i use the bike and i m about 2x faster than using this dreck, it is for assholes and old/fat people.

Also a car is status, a drivers license is also a plus in spontanity and mobility. You can take a boobanimal to certain places for example, or you go whereever you want without using the assholebus.

>>845676

Enjoy having to waste money just to mantain and feed your (((status toy))).

>>845686

Well let me ask you: what do you spend money on that you consider worthwhile?

>>845695

I save most of my income so that I can stop being a wage slave and live on a remote village away from niggers and gypses. Last year I only spent money on enjoyment literally once, on a hard drive.

>>845686

Money is never a problem for me. When I want to buy something, I can make any plan to get that money.

>>845590

Sweden and more so Scandinavia is full of litteral snowflakes. I can't stand their social conventions

>>845784

Not long before they have to fill out a form before they fuck :^^^^^^).

>ride a bus on a long commute to work

>a greasy american tourist tries to start a smalltalk

>>845686

if you're not retarded you can get a relatively cheap and reliable used car.

my $1500 shitbox has been going strong 6 years now, and I beat the hell out of it.

C'mon, is there any place on Earth where people talk to strangers on their daily commute?

>t. latin american

>>845835

>Brussels

>Barcelona

>any mid-sized city in France

>never been but I think probably Ireland

>>845914

I am from Barcelona. I take the metro thrice a day for a total of one hour of travel every day. This has been going on for two years, and I have casually spoken with a woman once.

I wish talking in the daily commute was more common so I could try to talk to the cute Barcelona girls without looking like a creep.

>>845957

You have money, why not move closer to work? I live 1mi away, my "commute" is a 4 minute drive in my shitter beat up old car. I need to fill my gas tank up like once every 2-3 months.

>>845219 (OP)

Just get a car.

my experiences:

2012: long commute, one bus 10min, couldn't do shit on that one. Transfer bus was 45min and not crowded. Used laptop to read pdfs on, was mostly fine.

2014+: Now have smartphone. New job, two buses but both are short (20min each). Never been able to really get into what I'm reading because I'm afraid of missing my transfer/stop because the buses run like shit and are super crowded.

Most public transit is too shitty and crowded to do meaningful work on, it only works out if you have a decently long ride and the bus isn't packed. A car will get you to place where you can be productive (work, library, whatever) much faster than a bus. WAY less stress too, I miss my car so much (sold it when I moved for work).

And depending on where you live you might be surprised by how much more comparable the costs are than you'd think. Cars = expensive is a normie meme.

Only thing that definitely sucks is you have to have a place to park, which is a big deal in some cities.

>>845959

Not that anon, but it depends where you work. SV is notoriously hyperexpensive and there's no way you're getting a place 4 minutes from work without making CEO-tier pay and even then you'd probably need to ask Goldberg for help. Even SD is expensive and "starter homes" within 20 minutes of the tech jobs don't go below $600k.

I've got an apartment 10 minutes from where I work that's about $2k/month and I use the time I save to do contracting. 12 hours a day combined, but I'm making over $200k/yr before it's taxed to support blight.

I do math as a hobby, so that's what I would do during long commutes. You just bring a notebook and pencil

>>845219 (OP)

have radios in your backpack and take silent control of the electronics of everyone in and around the bus as well as the bus itself.

oof botnet, roopkits, and brapdoors. oof!

now you can get a nice place to bounce your traffic around in.
