Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Well, America's problem with television is that the incumbents are entrenched and quasi-monopolised. Why should the networks compete when there's no reason to?

I mean, I can cord-cut very easily because I can get an internet-only plan at my house, subscribe to Netflix, and subsist on BBC iPlayer.

[up][up][up]Don't fret, Demetrios. Remember that we still get at least three days a year when it doesn't rain, which is about 70% more sunshine than the UK gets.

Oh god.

I'm trying to compare broadband + phone + television plans from Comcast vs my provider, and

I have no idea what the fuck these television packages mean

that crappy 2000's music, like Green Day

As a person from the 90s, this part of the sentence makes absolutely no sense to me.

Well, remember that the 90's didn't really end until some time around 2004.

Demtrious: if life is not better for me by then.... Then on Feb 18, 2020, I'm most likely gonna shoot myself.

I'm tired of being depressed all the time. I'm tired of feeling worthless. I'm tired of life in general, but I keep on for my mom. If she wasn't alive I'd probably already have shot myself.

[up][up] Which would still make Green Day not 2000's music. Half of their discography was written before the year 2000. If we're going to include all the way up to 2004 then that means 2/3rds of their discography counts as 90's music and not 00's music.

America, I have concluded that you're being overcharged by a factor of five times for the same plan as me.

Oh, it isn;t that. I'll be around for a while longer. Still gotta use that GI Bill to go to college.

Who knows, maybe something will happen during those 4 years will change my mind. Doubtful, as women seem to be naturally adverse to me.

Plus I still need to accomplish my goal of engineering a bio-weapon. At least to give the US a nice virus as a backup weapon.

I'm certain Russia still has Biopreparat going, so I need to give the US a secret weapon. Maybe a smallpox-type virus, retro-virus, with a long latency... Yes, make it so it is dormant for a few years, then activates with a fury....

Here's a crazy thought...what if Prohibition had worked?

No more bars, no more wineries, no more drunken drivers...

What would be the drawbacks except edgier people and a non-existent alcohol economy.

They're fine otherwise, but man I would not want to date one. They are so high maintenance.
Hey, I'm not high maintena- *looks at all the expensive equipment bought from Amazon around the room* …nevermind.
