9/23/20 Cable Is Done? (Part 2 of 2)

     Saying everything I said yesterday about how great Youtube and TikTok are, why should I continue paying U-verse $245.45 a month?  Google fiber is advertising their 1 gigabit internet service for $70 a month and that is a great savings of more than $150 a month.  The U-verse price includes cable, internet and our local landline, which I haven't had a phone even plugged in the house in a couple of years, I got tired of telemarketers calling.  I am just hesitating because I don't want to find out I loose something by changing.  It seems that we have Netflix and Hulu for our movies and some shows.  We get HBO max through an online account, and I don't know if we loose this if we get rid of cable, this is what makes me hesitate.  I hadn't paid much attention to HBO lately, but my brother did just get me to re-watch Entourage and I am still enjoying it.

    Plus, what is better than getting some interesting and new ideas when dealing with every day issues?  I like when they take a played out meme and give it a little twist, just to keep you on your toes.  I saw one which was pissing me off, this really popular girl does nothing but smile to the camera and barely even dances to the music and gets millions of views.  100 girls copy this, but I saw one yesterday where she is going along doing the little dance but she has a clock over her head reading 4:19.  Before the song ends, it clicks over to 4:20 and suddenly her eyes are bloodshot and she looks guilty of getting high.  It was pretty funny, I thought.  Stuff like this, you would never get a chance to see on cable, it is just too washed over.

    That is the other thing.  The FCC has too much control over programming and all I can say is fuck them.  They are perfectly okay with someone's head getting severed off or a classroom full of kids getting blasted away, but God forbid someone show a titty and they go out of their minds.  What kind of stupid shit is that?  As I understand it, in Europe, nudity is a natural thing and nobody is covering people up.  How fake is it to show a couple making love, but the woman somehow has a shirt and panties on?  Come on.  When Breaking Bad was going at its best, it was glorifying meth, killing cops, and showing criminals getting rich, all ok per the FCC, but had the Wife shown a little bush in a shower scene, that wouldn't even be thought of in the writer's mind because it is impossible.

    Nah, I think I will be flying free by the end of the year.  I have Youporn on the laptop by my bed, TikTok on my phone to kill time, Youtube on the kitchen laptop when I am sitting around, Netflix and Hulu on the projector for sitting back and watching movies and shows with Wife on the weekends.  Where does cable programming fit.  Add in the social justice warriors ruining sports and I don't even need to watch the NFL or NBA anymore.
