According to a financial advisor I recently spoke with, it’s not. Guess I’ll be working all the way into my grave. 🤷♂️
I was on Reddit, now I am here. It’s a crazy world.

Currently using a combination of Plexamp, WinAmp, Bandcamp and Apple Music.
Spotify is an evil company. Bad for artists, bad for consumers. I’m glad to have quit using their service.
Twitter has never been great, just easy to use and widely adopted. It’s gotten worse under Musk and mostly appeals to the worst people left on the platform.
So Pearl Jam isn’t just a dumb group of kids that know nothing?
Just another huge ass company that values short term profits over its employees and customers. Probably won’t be buying any more of their products.
Some say the slam was so hard the shockwaves were felt on the other side of the globe.
The Wind Waker for me. At the time, the open world and sea felt so massive, and the colorful cell-shaded graphics made me feel like I was immersed in a cartoon. I played other Zelda games before, but it was the first one to hold my attention all the way to the end. To me, it’s one of those games I wish I could experience again for the first time.
Tech moves fast ma dudes.
The reasoning they gave me is exactly that. People driving like crazy post pandemic, and the fact that cars have become exponentially expensive.
My auto insurance rose 27% this year. My cars sit in a locked garage 20ft away from me practically all week long as I work from home. I was shocked to find my rates rose so high as I barely even drive at all anymore. Their solution was for me to get their data collection puck. What a fucking racket!
I have a friend that will only chat with me on Instagram. I have his number, but he will never respond to text. He only engages in insta, it’s mildly infuriating.

I do use Windows for a lot of specific programs, but this behavior is really pushing me to Linux and to find alternatives to the software I use.
I’ve been using Thunderbird and loving it. They’re developing a mobile app now as well!
T…. Time to leave?
I got a subscription to nebula, since my favorite creators are on there and YouTube’s subscription costs too much.
Quit Spotify for Apple Music and PlexAmp.
Slowly starting to phase out everything Google but it’s taking some time.
I’m using Google search less and now Ecosia has become my primary search engine.
Next thing on my list is to reduce streaming services. I quit Netflix and HBO in 2023 after having it for many years.
Using a VPN more and more.
I’m using much less Reddit, Facebook and whatever the fuck twitter is now. Instead I’m using Lemmy and Mastodon. Maybe this year I’ll delete all the old accounts finally for good.
Started using RSS again for news.
Absolutely; and this is another example in a long list which should serve as a lesson for people to not share their personal data with any company if possible. Yet, I feel that lesson will never be learned.
Too expensive. Not owner repairable. Too much unnecessary tech baked in.
There’s a path forward for EV’s, but I don’t think the current philosophy is it.
