"Why do you have cable?"

I pay for cable because I can afford it....and more importantly, I enjoy it.

People sound stupid as fukk getting mad at people paying for a service.

What's next, getting mad that I pay my bills at restaurants and don't just run out on the bill?

If you have a firestick, more power to you. It's just not for me.

The lady with XFinity at HEB gave me a hard sell today about joining. I asked her where the free food samples were. She was not thrilled.

I don’t have cable anymore. It’s too much garbage, and I would rather spend that money on beer and weed.

fricking A, double clutch. I don’t care if Cable is a rip-off. It works for me and I like it. Like a coffee mug instead of a tumbler.

Same. And then if I'm a little bored at the start of a show, I just stop it and start searching all over again.

I give myself shite for having cable. I haven’t turned on a TV in months, but still pay for cable.

If I was single, wouldn’t happen.

Exactly. I have cable. I have Netflix. And I still can’t find much to watch. So what difference does it make. My cable and interwebz is thru Cox. It just isn’t that big of a deal.

A lot of people can’t handle how some people who make more money than them choose to spend discretionary income on luxuries and conveniences that they can’t afford themselves.

I tried the cord cutting thing. It wasn’t for me, I like sports too much.

If you ask a cord cutter “how to watch live sports?”, all you get is “borrow a friend or relative’s login”, or download this and that to get a shitty stream of a game that might or might not work. Tried to watch an Astros game and the stream looked like it was being filmed with a toaster and buffered so much I only made it to the top of the 2nd before saying frick it.
I’d rather pay the extra money for the convenience of being able to watch my games without the bullshite.

This is really the only reason we have cable. And then the sad thing is, I’m watching the games at home AND reading/ posting about it here.

I save enough money not going to movies to more than pay for my cable. Still love my TIVO.
