  • I think if you peel back the ego, the “self” is just obligations that we’ve made to try to create an “identity” like “I have to draw I’m an artist”. “Oh, I have to go to school because I’m a smart person and I don’t want to XYZ.”

    It’s all just fluff, or an illusion. If we were to truly be free of all obligations we would find out quickly that we are all the same consciousness wearing different masks. I am me, and I am you, and you are me. If you were to be able to switch perspectives with someone else I’d be surprised if it felt any different than being in your own body.













  • Yes, the differences are night and day. Every time I want to watch one of the few movies I own on Blu-ray, I turn my old PS4 on and remember how shitty a controller is for media playback and I download the movie and watch it on my Raspberry Pi with Kodi and a proper media remote.

    • lol no you don’t.

    So again: if I just want to watch Netflix, why should I add a console that has no advantages, but uses more power and forces me to use a controller that is nice for many games but shit for watching movies?

    -You aren’t raw dogging your TV apps…youre using a console of sorts to run your media vs letting the TV do it. Which was what I was asking in the root comment in this thread.

    So what I originally said…and what I’m replying to now are the same sentiment. You’re being a contrarian.
