i love how i can tell who it is based on one non-descript image.

I never thought till now about whether/how much effort went into crafting a backdrop that is recognizable even when completely out of focus.

I was hoping it was Technology Connections! I'll have to watch this when I'm done working...

I think you just download them separately now

And if I’m a deaf guy with no internet?

As reasonable as it is to ask that, that is fairly atypical at this point. Not the deaf thing, the no internet thing.

I think it's a reasonable assumption to carry forward, as long as there's an offline option available somehow. Which there is, after you've downloaded them once.

Which they could do at an internet cafe or wherever.

What if my DVD player doesn’t let me download them?

And if they have them for download, why not just put them on the disc?

Masturbate, maybe?

I'm loathe to call it fapping, as if there's no one to hear the fap, was it ever there?
