Notifications fucking suck, if it isn’t either my alarm or my grandma’s emergency button, my phone ain’t gonna do a damn thing to alert me.

Now, I fart in public and really don’t care. It’s liberating.

Physical media is superior. Don’t get me wrong, I love the convince of being able to stream any song I want, whenever, from my phone. But you don’t actually own that music, not even the digital music you bought.

So having that physical backup is good. But also, it’s just a fundamentally different experience, to have to put a record on a turntable, or a tape in a cassette deck, and listen to an album from back to front.

Netflix’s disc-by-mail service is better and more convenient than streaming in basically every way. Instead of having to look for the films/shows I want to watch on various streaming services only to find out they’re not streaming anywhere, or on some obscure/expensive service, I can be confident that if they’ve had a physical release, they’re probably in Netflix’s catalog of 100,000 titles on Blu-Ray or DVD. The I can just add it to my queue, and movies will show up. Then when it’s time to watch a movie, I don’t have to waste time mindlessly scrolling my trying to find something to watch, I just pop the disc in the player. Easy. It’s really a shame that it’s going away. My public library has a massive DVD collection that I’ll probably use, but they’re lacking in Blu-Ray discs, and nothing beats the convenience of having the discs come right to your home.
