Today I’m donating my streaming sticks. I got a ONN brand 2k one I bought for 15 and I got an Amazon Firestick 4K I got for $3 from a thrift store because they didn’t know what it was.

And I love the concept of stream sticks, I really do. Too fucking bad that corporate interests got in the way and now everything has to have a bundle of ads at every damn turn. Not even some of the things I’m subscribed to is free from ads because this is the future apparently, we’re here.

Shame because I don’t want to let these go and even if I were to subscribe to Netflix’s ad-free subscription, that’s only one source. Why do that when I can just grab a long HDMI cable, plug it into my desktop and to my TV and I can watch everything that’s there, without ads because of the extensions I use to block ads.

    Caring about my life. Im going to let the rest of this one slip through my fingers like beach sand. No need to hold on tight anymore.

      Why not? Still so much good and beautiful left… Saying this as someone who has seen more than his fair share of dark underbelly of society.

      Sometimes it’s really a dark day but seriously, cheesy as it is to say, the next day will be brighter
