I find it hilarious that the hip urban folks who are most addicted to their cell phones can't use texting or data while on the subway, and for the only time during the day when they have a lot of free time just waiting around it's also the only time they don't have access to their phones.  Since human beings don't actually talk to each other face-to-face in this day & age (again, cellphones), the subway is just people staring into the abyss of their cold dark brains waiting for the drugery of non-cellphone life to end. Or they play Candy Crush.

A revelation, some information, and an idea for another thread:

I am the definition of an old hipster.  I am such a hipster that I actually iconoclastically call myself one !

You clearly haven't heard about the $40/month 4GB plan that really only works in urban centres called Freedom Mobile.  You get data in the stations, but not in the tunnels.  Works great.

New thread idea: podcasts.
