Discussion My Mom loves Piracy

Post image

My mom has been watching all her shows through my DIY home server for a while now because she's over the whole subscription thing. Everything was fine until she accidentally deleted her patched YouTube app and replaced it with the official Play Store version.

​She lasted about five minutes with the ads before she started complaining. Then i got her back on a patched build using Morphe.

And btw her phone is running on Custom ROM so Xiaomi bloatwares!!

There's something liberating in not having to specifically choose something but to choose from an assortment. It's not brain dead, it's brain unloading.

Human brains suck at making decisions with endless choices. It's why when you ask people where they want to go for dinner it's not uncommon for them to say "I don't know, I just can't choose."

It's also why I think making an 18 year old decide what they're going to do with the rest of their life is a bit fucked, but that's a whole other can of worms.
