I remember being tortured during the AOL dialup days... where EVERYTHING had to buffer. All I wanted to do was play my damn Neopets...

Speaking of shyt Internet!!!

I live in BFE our only option is satellite internet and it has a DATA LIMIT !!!! yes a 5 gb limit PER Month !!! After that it’s dial up speed, now you young folk haven’t a clue what’s that like but... I’d start a pot of coffee, vacuum my living room and fold a load of clothes and that glorious 5 min blip would “hopefully” be downloaded.

Oh and I have “might” get one bar on my cell if I let it set on my nightstand at just the right angle for 20-30 mins.

But I have cows for neighbors
