RE: Conveniently Enslaved

in Reflectionslast year

As far as convenience goes, there are quite a few apps I keep off my mobile because I would become too soft with the fallback options.

NO Rideshare Apps - I'm lucky to be in a major metropolis like New York City without the need for a car of my own because I can walk, ride my bike, or take public transit practically anywhere I want to go.

NO Food Delivery Apps - I hate these things. Nothing worse than eating cold delivery food. If I'm going to pay a premium to have someone else make my food, I want to enjoy it hot and fresh out of the oven. I'm either eating it at the restaurant or I'm picking it up myself and taking it home quickly so I can eat it right away.

NO TV streaming services - The only thing I'm consistently watching on TV these days is Soccer (premier league & champions league predominantly). I pay for Paramount (CBS) and Peacock (NBC) to be able to watch these competitions, but I rarely watch anything else. I do have a soft spot for stand-up comedy, which similar to your writing Taraz, is thought provoking and engaging in a way that most mindless TV programming is not.
