So I said, all right, and I left. 46 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: It turns out our internet service provider is not too 47 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: keen on this, though, and it throttles our entire network 48 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: to unbearable speeds. Anytime the Android TV box is in use, 49 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: box will hog all of the throttled bandwidth, so the 50 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: movie will stream, but every other device will be kicked 51 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: off of the network, so it prioritizes. 52 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: The illegal streaming and kicks off everything else. 53 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: It sounds like Spectrum wants you to be illegal, Like 54 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 3: that's that's what I'm getting. 55 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: When I told my mother about this. 56 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: Or asked her to pause for just a bit so 57 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: I'm able to get my work done, her response is always, 58 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: I pay for the internet and it seems to be working, 59 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: so you can deal with not having internet while I'm 60 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: watching TV. 61 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: Damn but dude, oh, he's trying to do some work. 62 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: I've been dealing with this for two weeks, now, get this. 63 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 2: I was disqualified from two job interview technical tests. 64 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: I had to plead to retake. 65 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: A midterm with my professor, and I often get booted 66 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: when I'm on the phone with my girlfriend, who I'm 67 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: in a long distance relationship with. 68 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: Damn, Opie has all of his life tied up in 69 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: the Internet. I guess we all do. But damn, but 70 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: like Opie especially like getting booted from jobs from mid 71 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 3: derbs from his girl. 72 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 2: When my mom left her a bit that day, I 73 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: started doing some trouble shooting and found that a VPN 74 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: fixes the problem. So so when my mom came back, 75 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: I told her that the VPN fixes the problem and 76 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: that she should use one anyways, since her activities are illicit. 77 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, David, protect yourself. If you're gonna do if you're 78 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: gotta do danger stuff, make sure to have danger protection. 79 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: Her response, unsurprisingly, was I bought the box to stop 80 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 2: paying for subscriptions. I'm not gonna pay for something when 81 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: the TV works just fine. 82 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: You can live without the internet. 83 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: How can anyone live without the internet? 84 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: Bom you're watching TV? I'm applying to jobs OPI is 85 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: in a big pickle, a dill pickle crunchy. I thought 86 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: she'd at least be reasonable, and I was gonna offer 87 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: to pay for half of the yearly subscription, but in instead, 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: I was just shocked and left. Shortly after, she came 89 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: in and told me that I should have paid for 90 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: the VPN because I'm the one who would be using 91 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: it anyways. I told her that's not how it works. 92 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be using it, but I'd be willing to 93 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: split the cost with her. She didn't like that answer, 94 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: and then she started going off by saying, you're twenty 95 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: two and you don't pay for anything. You should at 96 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: least be paying for rent and to use our internet. 97 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: I get that that statement doesn't sound too bad Reddit, 98 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: and I agree, taking enough of context, it's probably fine. 99 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: But here's some background. 100 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: My parents told me that I could live rent free 101 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: until I graduate college, which led me to go to 102 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 2: my local university to save money and not have to 103 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 2: pay for ruin board. My tuition, on the other hand, 104 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: is just barely covered by these small amounts that my 105 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: grandfather left me when he passed away, but the account 106 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: holder's name is my mother's. If that doesn't cover my tuition, 107 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 2: I'd have to pay everything out of pocket. My brother, 108 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: on the other hand, moved out to go to college, 109 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: and his finances are a different story. My mom paid 110 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: is completely for his tuition, room, board, and groceries. 111 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: How's that fair? 112 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: Not fair at all, so he doesn't have to work 113 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: while he goes to school. The tuition, room and board 114 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: for him are almost three times my annual tuition alone, 115 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: yet she still pays for that without batting an eye. 116 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: So my mother. 117 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: Continue going off telling me that starting now I'll have 118 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: to pay rent and it'll be twelve hundred dollars a. 119 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 3: Month unless you live in Saandamaka, you're over baying my guy. 120 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: She also said I'd have to pay for the VPN 121 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: so I can use the internet, and I'll pay for 122 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: the internet since you're the one who always uses it anyways, 123 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: and she finished off her list of demands by stating, also, 124 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 2: the trust won't be covering your tuition. 125 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: Anymore, and you'll need to pay. 126 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: Me back the twenty six thousand dollars it's paid out already. 127 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: But that was left from the Grandpa. I was just 128 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 3: silent and left. 129 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 2: I broke down into tears when I got out to 130 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: my car and I just started driving. I haven't talked 131 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 2: to her a cent, and I'm just fuming that she would 132 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: hold my inheritance ransom. I was just planning to yeat 133 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: out of there the day I graduate, But every month 134 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 2: is something else that's my fall and I have to 135 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: pay for started off with groceries, and I now never 136 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: buy groceries or make dinner for my parents. Then when 137 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: I got my tax refund, my mom said, as she 138 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: should get half of it because I did your taxes, 139 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: so I deserve half. And I didn't even ask her 140 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: to do my taxes. I just came home one day 141 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: and she had finished them. Same thing with my stimulus 142 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: checks during COVID. My father and I were going to 143 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 2: see a show tonight. He sees the start contrast in 144 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: the way that she treats me versus my brother, and 145 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: has even told me before I know she treats you 146 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: differently than everyone else, and you just need to not 147 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: cause a ruckus or stir anything up with her and just. 148 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Leave as soon as you graduate. 149 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: But he won't actually stand up for me or pose 150 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: her on anything. 151 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: Whatever she says goes. And there's an update. 152 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: Also in response to checking my Social Security number and financials, 153 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: I know that they aren't draining my accounts for one 154 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: reason or the next. She wasn't in debt or anything. 155 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 2: Her and my father were married and they've amassed a 156 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: small fortune where money isn't really an issue for either 157 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: of them for the rest of their lives. What yeah, literally, like. 158 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: Why are they treating them like this? 159 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: Then she's just being evil like it's it's there's no 160 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: other reason, so there's no other reason. Also, as for 161 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: the trust, I am not allowed to touch it except 162 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: for paying my tuition, and tuition only until I'm twenty five, 163 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: so I can't drain it and run it out. Also, 164 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: I just silently paid for the VPN and put it 165 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: on the box last night, honestly smart. Yeah, I haven't 166 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: talked to or seen my mother since last night. I'm 167 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 2: gonna just keep my head down and try to survive 168 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: another two months. I'm hoping that nothing will come of 169 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 2: it after graduation, in which I will be long gone. 170 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: I'm deep into my senior final project in college and 171 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: can't just uproot and leave because I won't have anywhere 172 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: to set up my desktop to finish. I could if 173 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: school wasn't in person this semester.
