Tae Yoon: Life from 2006-2021

thanks to technology, catching up on recent episodes of american televisions shows are just a click away online. most networks are able to sell more advertising by making their shows available on their homepages or portals like hulu, and it's a win-win situation for everyone!

however, i've sadly learned that the vast majority of these websites and portals don't allow video access to people who are using a computer from an international location. i'll click a link to watch something and get excited because of course the fucking online-ad always streams (and i've just increased the number of page views for the website's sales team), but the moment the video should start, i'll see a message such as "unable to offer this video to users of your region."

it sucks. a lot.

thankfully, there are a small handful of websites with videos that are accessible from korea. one is msnbc.com and i've been watching the rachel maddow show religiously. i didn't really get into it back in nyc, but now i've become a hardcore fan and never miss an episode. i'm really stupid and not knowledgable when it comes to politics, but i love how her shows breaks everything down simply so even an idiot like can me can understand. i definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be more informed on the current events of politics in america. it disgusts me that some candidates are just liars and downright distrustful people who get rich from their hatred and cater to certain deplorably ignorant americans.

on a side note, i had the pleasure of briefly interacting with ms. maddow while i was working in the service industry in nyc, and i can attest that she is very gracious, humble, and an extremely generous tipper.
