I don't have cable because Cox is worse than a James McGilling and I can obtain all the shows and movies I want to see at a later time and can watch sports I want to online.

'oh, we don't have cable' is just as bad.

I say that often, but it's a complaint, not a brag.

I was without any sort of tv until monday and it was awful. it was definitely a complaint when i said this.

Kraftee and the big red head are 'no cable' people now

Loud and proud, I bet.

I don't really watch anything with professional actors. Real people on TV are way more entertaining to me.

I never watch anything that isn't live. I am the opposite. I watch no tv shows or movies.

why sd

im fascinated by this

I have no idea. I get bored by everything. I have a weird adult ADD thing where before I start do anything (like sit for a 3 hour movie or even a 30 minute show) I get anxious and bored and don't want to commit to it.

pretty sure if i was like this my productivity would go gangbusters. sd wins again.

FTR, I have a car. I was just trying to turn this thread into a popular sitcom from the '60's. However, living in a large city and not owning a car would be pretty awesome (assuming you had the money to own the car but just chose to live without it, because living in a large city while being homeless and without a car would really suck).

Did the bus for about 5 months. Problem is my office is in Hollywood so I had to transfer on La Brea. Did that for as long as I could.

Live on 23rd just south of Wilshire.

I both love it and hate it more and more every day. I mean, you just learn to enjoy things like people over-pronouncing "carnitas" and riding bikes with dogs in their backpacks and roll with it.

I would be here, though, and we could both love hipster culture but hate hipsters together. (It's more fun that way).
