>Imagine if you will, a world where you're forced to fellate another man against your will. You've lost something irreplaceably valuable, something all people need - freedom - freedom of action, freedom of mobility, freedom to be free from harm, from assault. You've lost your freedom, but you haven't lost your self-respect. You tell yourself that your predicament is nothing that a man can't learn to overcome - that it's almost over, that you'll go home, wash the taste out, think about something else, move on with your life. Because a man is not defined by what happens to him, but by what he does...

How did literally no one else survive? He was just in a bank vault not so super underground layer or something. Couldn't some sewer workers have survived, or maybe working in a basement room of a warehouse or something?
>Does check >Was devastated his colleagues and wife were all dead >Contemplated suicide because he was so lonely
Maybe all the other survivors hid from him so they didn't have to hear him talk about Dostoyevsky and Mark Twain anymore?
I'll grant you he was kind of a pussy with his wife, but it isn't like him reading books was a complete obsession to him. He just wanted to read a little on his breaks from work and while his wife made dinner. How is that so unreasonable?
My guess is a .45 round. Judging by the revolver's shape it looks to be a colt style revolver probably Colt M1878 design. And that is one of the common calibers for that design.
What I never understood was that if that his eyesight was so bad and he literally would be blind as a bat without them, then why not have extra cheap pairs, or like what I did and paid $5,000 for combat glasses. (I tarp flatbeds in the Dakotas).
Reading is unironically for gays. That's why you're reading this right now, OP.
HE WAS A GOOFY AHH homie
He kept reading Ayn Rand and becoming insufferable.
>reddit spacing

>There's work to be done, goy!
no Ivan twilight zone isn't da joos. yes Ivan we know you're lazy.

>Ivan
imagine if he had a e-reader he could have fit all those books on a compact device. He could have used text to speech when he broke his glasses.
That would be the modern version. He wouldn't break his glasses. The battery would die.
my mom thought the ending was his just deserts
That's cuz your mom's a c**t, just like Benis' c**t wife.
>Henry Benis
That's what I was wondering. This episode gave a terrible message.

He didn't really go check so maybe. He gloated about everyone being dead and then the universe punished him.
>Does check

It's a fable, artistic license, go with it.
on the other hand, how did all those books survive?
Nooooooooo don't think about it that hard you dumb goy! Just consume!!
cus reading books used to be like always looking at your phone

Why couldn't he just read the large-print books?
Rod Serling hates nerds.
are you stupid
it's about escapism. he had a wife that henpecked him. a boss that walked over him. he was always trying to run from his problems not confront them.
so when he fell back into his old patterns in the face of nuclear annihilation it's a just penalty for a life wasted
if this was made today it would be a gamer or something
I'll grant you he was kind of a pussy with his wife, but it isn't like him reading books was a complete obsession to him. He just wanted to read a little on his breaks from work and while his wife made dinner. How is that so unreasonable?
I thought this episode was more of what happens if you focus on escapism.
what was he going to eat?
My guess is a .45 round. Judging by the revolver's shape it looks to be a colt style revolver probably Colt M1878 design. And that is one of the common calibers for that design.
He was a bit of a c**t but I always thought this episode was a bit cruel
What I never understood was that if that his eyesight was so bad and he literally would be blind as a bat without them, then why not have extra cheap pairs, or like what I did and paid $5,000 for combat glasses. (I tarp flatbeds in the Dakotas).
Woah, in the Dakotas? Bad ass!
I know!
waow
