3G, huh?

God damn.

I chew through like 12G myself.

I suppose like 8 hours of streaming music daily plus habitual Reddit and web browsing will do that.
Well, I only use it to check ***, get directions, occasionally shop and rarely watch a video unless I'm at hope on WiFi.

Dad only uses it to check weather.

My mom becomes a child when it comes to the internet; she's gonna pout when I get on to her later but if she wants to use up all of everyone's data, she can start actually paying part of the bill instead of my dad and I.

Also, on WiFi, if her computer won't connect, she goes nuts and repeatedly bothers me.

"Is it fixed yet?"
"No, there's nothing to fix, it's your computer."
"Well, can you restart the router?"
"....maybe in like an hour." - Usually when I'm doing something in-game.
"...Oh *pouts"

So, in the middle of stuff, as Drac can attest, I'm usually saying "wc rq" pretty often so I go to the wc and come right back. She'll hit me up when I step out of my room. I guess she thinks that because I have a few seconds to perform bodily functions it means I have an endless amount of time.

More often than not, she's somehow managed to hit FN + F8 and that's the reason.

Oh, yeah. I've got a few volumes loaded up. I'll probably take my laptop too and do some writing while I'm there, too.

But honestly, I can just sit and exist down there in a way I can't pretty much anywhere else. No distractions. No fidgeting. Not even a drink is necessary, though it certainly enhances the experience. I've strongly given consideration to moving down there and doing literally whatever I have to in order to get by. Though that would be incredibly irresponsible, all things considered.

A drink is always necessary...

Nah.

Gotta have a basis for comparison!

Suggestion: Unplug.

Trust me, not taking any electronic equipment (other than a phone, but only to listen to music to, not to actually use other than that) will do you wonders.

Get off the grid. Enjoy in your freedom.

Twister is very entertaining Viennese if you like disaster films.

If you like disaster films may I recommend Halle Berry's spin as Catwoman? You want to talk about a disaster...

Buying 1 coffee at Starbucks every day would cost you more than Comcast!

...and that's pretty impressive given Comcast's idiotic costs.

That is true but I don't think Starbucks wants to attract people that buy nothing and sit in their stores all day...

yeah its funny, ladies with lots of blingbling that want to show their holiday pics of their safari in Kenia on their apple tablet (which they uploaded on the cloud cause its the fancy ***to do), and then they dont have 4G. Then I have to give my wifi code, I swear I should change it into something perverted.
What gives?

Eh. It's sort of like being a drug dealer. Free internet gets you in the door. It's only a matter of time before you start paying too much for bad coffee.

I prefer buying it at the store and making it at home. I don't like coffee that sits for hours. They are supposed to change it often but sometimes it tastes terrible.

One of the biggest reasons I don't do stuff like most EX primals, Savage content, etc. is because I'm usually distracted by some inane *** or paranoid that as soon as we start, I'll have a knock at my door for yet more inane ***.

The one that really gets me is my brother. He'll come down here, knock on my door and ask me to open my door.....just to ask a question or tell me something I couldn't be forced to care about at gunpoint.

My sister and niece are both bad about "hey do you want this?" Really? "This" could be anything. It could be candy, it could be a new car, it could be a French maid named Babette who has a ponytail and wears glasses. Is it that hard to use proper god damn nouns or something?

"....Describe it."
"Well, she's 5'2", wearing a maid outfit, blonde hair in a ponytail, glasses, and she keeps greeting us with 'bonjour.'"
"Yeah, send her in."

My fave is when there is just one quick knock with absolutely no indication that they actually want something from me. So an hour goes by and there's another knock telling me my food has gotten cold or I come out to use the bathroom and get bitched at for not helping carry in the groceries. That's when I have to have the same conversation with them I've had thousands of times; I knock on the wall once and say "I don't know what this means. You have to tell me what you want."

McDonald's coffee is better, has higher turnover, and is $1.

Just sayin'.
