    I still dont understand the need of people who watch tv series. How fucking empty and boring must their lives be.

      I can’t speak for anyone else, but yes, mine is.

      I’ve never had Prime though. The reason my life is boring and empty, is (I think) because I avoid participating in things I don’t wholeheartedly approve of.

      Viewing media, is an insidiously passive form of participation, so I do intently watch plenty of TV\movies (recently figured out it’s about 6-8 things a week).

      The rest of my life is just household chores, bicycling, & traveling when I get the chance.
      Doing Things makes me feel like Ged.

          So real; I have just years of old '90s SciFi etched into my brain. SciFi novels, too, but it might be nice if some percentage were nonfiction? I dunno, honestly at this point I’m just glad when I see media with a plot that I don’t immediately foresee the denouement of.

          Weirdly, I watch less TV now than when I had more monthly bills to work off.

          I was even doing pretty well about steering clear of social-marketing sites, until SMBC-comics added a comments section directly below the first of four stops on my (semi-)daily funny pages.
