What are you just done with after giving it so many chances?
What are you just done with after giving it so many chances?
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.

My job. I resigned earlier this week after 8 1/2 years.
i'm about to do something similar and for a job that is a 56% percent pay cut for me; but it's as far away as i can find from the profit seeking evil that has characterized my most recent jobs while still employing my skillset.
Yeah, I have a feeling I’ll be in a similar situation once I get my head clear.
clearing my head is why i'm doing it too
Congrats!
Congratulations! I am working out my notice period of my job right now, I am taking December to regroup and will begin job hunting in January. It feels so liberating!
It does. Not sure your situation, but I have a mortgage and two little girls. It’s a big risk, but I’m betting on myself.
Regardless of the uncertainty about the new year, it’s the first time I’ve felt any sort of positivity for the longest time.
Good luck to all of us.
Mortgage and three cats (plus a clingy stray and three chickens outside). Luckily the husband has a good job so we're ok.
I always try to live my life imagining this all being a memory to my elderly future self, and thinking about how I'd be reacting to it. Am I feeling strong pride or regret about my choices? Is there something that feels like it matters right now that will totally be forgettable in the grand scheme? It really helps me when I encounter difficult decisions, and it's how I realized that I need some time to realign myself with the things that bring me joy.
Best of luck to you, I have a sense (knowing nothing about you) that elderly you is SO freaking pumped that you're doing this.
Congratulations!
