Worst is, if you don't subscribe to specific services, people will call you the odd one out

That's fine, I started doing my thing and stopped caring what the world thinks.

Those people are dumb and weird.

Yep. Those people aren't my friends.

I look forward to the range of emotion someone's face acts out when I tell them that I don't have FB or I don't have Amazon Prime.

Random memory just appeared. When i was in highschool, i used to sit with a group of people one of which. Begain a conversation talking about invader zim, everybody kinda pitched into the conversation with quibs and factoids about the animated series. Execept of me, as invader zim was only on your local soul sucking, nipple rubbing cable company (south park reference insues). The girl asked what i thought about the show? I simply explained i never had or cared for cable. To which basically apalled her, "how do you not have cable", "what do you watch!" I replied antenna. Then for the next 30minutes of lunch there was a hole song and dance about how ive never watched (insert cable tv show). Im glad i didnt grow up with cable, the three stooges were fun to watch, and the fun of me and my dad watching is forever with me. The whole "flix cult" sounds similar to my cable tv experience.

HULU (they have your favorite show! Only season 3 though cause fuck you!)
