Maybe I just enjoy laughing at myself.

I like smart humor. Even if the canned laughter is going "Oh hoho, look at those nerds," I'm thinking "oh wow, that was intelligent and funny."

But yes, I do love self-deprecating humor, so that makes sense.


Comedy is all about being able to laugh at yourself.

I laugh at myself so that people will be laughing with me at the dumb things I do instead of at me.

How do you tell how fast your internet is moving? I think I am very wrong as to the speed.

just as i pressed send in that last post it dropped to something like 20kb/s

jesus fucking christ this cunting speed is going to make me a mass murderer at this rate

and you check the speed by going to "wifi status" but it will display an inflated (20-40% from experience) speed
