Wasting Time

Some day you’ll be sorry for wasting so many people’s time. In the thousands of ninety seconds you’ve squandered with your informationless nonsense bytes, you could have really accomplished something. We could have learned something real. Instead, we’re left with meaningless drivel.

I already do regret so much of my life, why add to the burden? Why, a clever fellow like you could have learned Esperanto in the time you’ve been listening to the hypnotizing rise and fall of my unctous baritone. I feel for both of us. For all of us. If only there were a way to press “rewind” and start all over again. You might have had a different childhood, and whatever sense of humor you once possessed might not have been beaten out of you by circumstance.
