It’s paradise for lost Redditors.

What’s your favorite musical artist or group, and why is it Spandau Ballet?

It’s hard to pick just one because, duh, capitalism is inherently a scam.

But if I were to pick just one, it’d have to be the airlines. They’re beyond necessary yet every year they pull some insane shit and no one bats an eye. And no matter what they’re always crying poor and merging merging merging. Can’t you see, they have to - they have no choice.

First the food costs extra. Then the drinks. Then the bags you check in. Then they charge you to sit in the exit aisle because you get an extra 3 inches. They literally say now it’s “impossible” to book two tickets seated together unless you pay an extra fee. Impossible, you say? How the fuck were you able to do it for so long up until 2022???

The first subscription I turned off is my gym membership 10 years ago. That was the first time I realized I was paying for air. With a few hundred dollars spread over years, I’ve amassed a pretty stellar home gym with machines and weights. Granted, the trade off is space.

In the digital age, really nothing. The wife has Netflix but nothing on that service does shit for me. I get a screen of Max from a close friend and in return she has access to my Plex, and I let her make requests when I go sailing the seas. Max has some ok stuff.

Anyhow, I do everything not to have a subscription to anything, minus my VPN. I also still buy blurays. Conversely, I haven’t bought a physical video game in at least 5 years - so I’ve succumbed to convenience in that regard.

Interesting take. No bullshit - thanks for sharing.
