Yeah, I can’t go into too much detail, but we have to filter certain things.

Unfortunately I can’t listen to podcasts. If I only listen to something without visual stimulation my mind start to think about unrelated things, and I just can’t follow what they speak about, I loose track after a while.

Before podcasts there were radio talk shows, I hated them similarly, and I tuned to another station where they were playing music.

There is a very good documentary about Aaron’s life: The Internet’s Own Boy

Thank you for adding NSFW flair. Noone should see the word “r*ddit”
