I’ve made the mistake of trying to watch regular cable TV the past couple of days.
Getting ads out of most of your life really isn’t that hard, and once you do it the times when they’re there are so much more unpleasant. I get that people can get used to anything but there’s no way having a bunch of loud shit blaring at you that you actively try to ignore is good for you.
The best thing about traveling in China for a little while was simply the fact that I couldn’t understand Chinese unless I stopped and focused on it. With English the conversion of letters and words to information happens subconsciously and instantaneously so you’re “forced” to understand it. It was essentially living generally ignorant of things that existed unless I wanted to discover something. I really miss it to be honest.

Yeah, I barely see ads in my life as well. It’s definitely a better way to live.
