If you want to see a real filibuster in action, go to Nebraska!

Machaela Cavanaugh has been filibustering the legislature for weeks! 12+ hours a day, weeks on end. She has monumentally impressive resolve.

Actually, I think you missed it. The Nebraska legislature finally passed a bill today.

That is great and all, but what folks are communicating here is quite different. Filibusters in the Senate do not require you to even show up, you can simply claim a filibuster to stop a vote from happening.
