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.

McDonalds. It’s the shittiest fast food place and maybe the most unjustifiably expensive.

I’m still hooked on the quarter-pounder and their Coke taste like God’s cum. But I get where you’re coming from.

Their buns aren’t good IMO. They look great, but are tiny and rubbery. If forced to get Maccas, I’d probably also go a quarter pounder though.

If my kids didn’t go do crazy for happy meals I’d never spend a dime there.

The price of the you alone isn’t worth it, the kids will happily eat the food and it’s less than 6 bucks for a meal and a toy for them.

Oh yeah they’ve got that market cornered for sure. I’ve got an 18 month old, so all that to look forward to.
