  • The ‘brands’ they are displaying.

    I see people checking me and others out. What runners are they? Jordans or KMart? Is that a Lacoste or walmart? Is that a real Rolex or D&G handbag?

    But for me, it’s not judging them like you think.

    I judge them flashing brands as a sign of insecurity, a need to appear wealthy and ‘fit in’, and a likely ‘keep up with the Jones’ jealous type.

    So, I actually feel sad for them.

    And, yes, I am aware it’s super judgemental and I’m no doubt hypocritical as well, as there are some things I will buy certain brands for.




  • I went down the Pi 4B with Kodi path. It wasn’t very reliable. It was just sometimes when I went to watch something, it just was broken. And I had to go through troubleshooting instead of watching whatever I had turned it on for.

    I ended up with an Amazon firestick. Even using Kodi (and smarttube) on that works faster and more reliably.

    But then I have the Amazon firestick nosing around in everything I do lol. But I did disconnect my TV from the internet…
