I still cannot get past the fact that this was a college student. I mean, this kind of thing seems like interesting dinner conversation for talking to children, not remotely like something any reasonable adult should take any issue with.
I went to check my own Comcast data usage after thinking that 40GB number seemed awfully low. The past three months, I used 333GB, 295GB, and 296GB, respectively. And there's a little notice that "Enforcement of the 250GB data consumption threshold is currently suspended," so I guess I'm over it every single time.
And the thing is, I'm not a cord-cutter. I have a Comcast TV package that I use constantly (I just happen to be online while I'm watching). Even so, I'm over the limit? Ridiculous.
I don't even notice anymore when an attorney rambles cluelessly about fair use cases, not knowing the court's 4-factor test, for instance. But this guy has to take the cake for unwarranted confidence since he doesn't even know what any of the words mean. Dude should be in sales.
I had to send this to a friend to vindicate myself. Several years ago, we were driving somewhere, couldn't find the address, and my phone was out of battery. He kept telling me to pull over so he could find an outlet to plug it in. I refused over and over, saying "You're crazy if you think the cops won't have a problem with a big black guy stealing that place's electricity." He thought I was out of my mind. I wish he was right, but apparently I was.
I saw it the same way. As sad as it is, actual apologies (even the word "wrong!") are so rare that I got a little excited to see one. It seems like people think that he should just be condemned for making the error in the first place, but if that were the case, there wouldn't be any such thing as an apology.
People screw up. All of them. But most of them won't admit it or say they were wrong for it; most of them get defensive and explain how they were right all along. Kudos to any individual with the humility to admit their failures.
It's like watching a firehouse burn down.

Okay, my curiosity was piqued

I have my own term
I usually just go with "MOTHERFUCKING COMCAST ASSHOLES." And yes, the pronunciation aloud is also in caps.
This is Really Impressive

The guy should've stuck to chess; cheating is apparently not his forte.

I couldn't make it through the video without yelling. It's like watching my dad try to use a computer.
