Some examples, starting with RimJob's mom's basement. You can see the new super-duper server he got with all the donations:

Many more available here, if you can stand it:

On second thought, they'd have to tear themselves away from Skyrim to even know there was an election going on.

They used to be voters like you. Then they took an arrow to the knee.

There's a small fortune in beer, cigarettes, and soda there, not to mention the computers (as old as they may be). Why are you saying there's "destitution?" Real question. No snark.

Truckers call them "urine bottles." Truckers have an excuse: when you gotta go there isn't always a bathroom to do it in, and you can't just hang it out the window. With freepers it's a different story.

I dislike freepers as much as anyone, but, I think it's pretty libelous to call these "freeper computer rooms". I see no evidence that would indicate that.

I mean, I looked at every pic, and didn't see a single blow-up doll in any of them!
