  • Its the fact of unrevokable ownership.

    I can buy and mp3 off amazon. But if amazon decides to take down the artist i spent money and lost acess to what i bought.

    If i buy the CD, i rip it and put it on my navidrome server. I own it forever, if the server explodes or somebody claims i dont own the music, i go to my storage room and pull out my BIG ASS container of CDs.

    I OWN A PERSONAL LICENSE TO MY BOUGHT AND PAID FOR MUSIC ON PHYSICAL MEDIA THAT CANNOT BE PURPOSELY OR INNCIDENTALLY REMOTELY DELETED. NOBODY CAN STOP ME FROM LISTENING TO MY MUSIC COLLECTION, NOT SOME CORPRATE FUCK RAISING A SUPSCRIPTION PRICE.

    I started a year ago collecting physical media, and i can genuinely say owning it makes it sound and look better.

    I seldom have any subscriptions, and the one thing that hurts is when i play the mental game of “ok so i could pay for it still which would cost a decent amount of money” or i could not.

    “Does this service provide me enough value for the economic loss of my personal funds?”

    But not having to “bend over” because spotify is doing evil shit and i dont want to support.

    Funny thing is i recently read about the AI bullshit and shit there doing with Spotify. Told my friends and they didnt want to leave spotify because of there playlists.

    Theres a service that takes playlists and converts them amoung services for $2.

    Both friends have been enjoying the shit about tidal! And gladly cancled there Spotify













  • I dont know the whole situation and it sounds like your trying. My closest parallel is, my friends that are kinda introverted.

    I have one in my friend group, that thinks the perfect Friday night is air frying chicken and playing Command and Conquer.

    Not that i hate that, but just like any good thing it gets tiresome.

    So i sometimes spend time asking around for fun stuff to do on the cheap.

    A week ago we drove roughly and hour to a OLD, OLD AS SHIT Drive in movie theater. It was $20 for 2 movies and for as many people as you could cram in a car.

    It was honestly really fun, watching horror movies with my friends and just dicking around.

    I was really introverted when i was younger and my friend is pretty introverted.

    My best tip, is to invite somebody they enjoy hanging with something. Then offer them to join, and make it low stress and no schedule.

    Thats how the best times with friends happen.

    My friend really wasn’t thrilled about going to the movies, but because another friend was going. They wanted to go

    We dont go out a whole lot because well shits expensive. But every time they get less introverted, because its not “oh im going somewhere with people i dont like talking to people” its more of “i may not like other people that are gonna be there but my friends are gonna be there”

    Heard mentality helps introverts
