Well think about it in a different context: would you rather go play the same 6 notes over and over for 10 minutes or so a few times a year, next to Peter Frampton, while a crowd goes wild OR would you like to go sit in a cubicle for 8 hours, 5 days a week, responding to emails and stapling stacks of paper?

I hate to be the guy defending Quibi but the focal point of their marketing was how quick and bite size all their media was. Stuck in a waiting room? Commuting to work? Smoke break? Quibi!

...and then everyone got trapped in their homes for a year. Copious amounts of free time and severely reduced travel was definitely the death knell for their shitty (albeit unique) business model.

Not after SOPA!

Unrelated: Thank you for being the first politician (other than my grandfather) that I've actually looked up to. I'm not very active in politics (I'm the apathetic 18-25 demographic) so I've only been aware of the politicians caught in scandals or that John Stewart/Stephen Colbert mock. Watching yourself, Issa, and the rest of the anti-SOPA crew on livestream was an eye-opener for me. While it didn't exactly go in your favor, it was nice to see those in power fighting for something I believe in.

I'll be trying to convince my Pennsylvanian representatives to represent my stance a bit more, hopefully enough to swing their votes.

One should never be thanked for displaying appropriate behavior. We're merely acting as every human being should be expected to act.

But if you insist: you're welcome. Enjoy the acceptance you've always deserved.

Semi-related side note: for all you Dinklage fans there is a very interesting interview with him and his wife in Rolling Stone. It's about two or three issues back.
