#984 The Internet's "Work Offline" option

Maybe I just don't understand it (I definitely don't understand it), but this option seems pointless and extremely oxymoronic. After taking a second to recognize the greatness of the word 'oxymoronic,' ponder yourself this. Why would you ever open up the internet to go online and click the "work offline" button?

Okay, okay. After doing extensive research online (not offline, thank you very much), it turns out there's a small practicality of this mode. So small that I dare not delve into the details.
 
To make matters just slightly annoying, sometimes the internet will randomly go onto this mode, all on its own. The computer knows what slightly annoys you. It must enjoy forcing you to go up to the 'file' tab and uncheck the highlighted option.  I guess it's the computer's payback for all of those hours you wasted its time watching porn youtube videos.

It's just slightly annoying.
