Don't listen to anyone's advice. If you don't like traveling, don't travel. If you don't want kids, don't have kids. There's no such thing as wasted time because you get to pick what you do with your time.

Lol I sleep fine at night. I don’t eat meat, I live in a small apartment, I don’t drive, I don’t fly, I don’t have kids. I buy crap I don’t need though. I’ll put myself up against nearly anyone else in the developed world as far as carbon f

How is it being fucked over if I pay for something and get value from it? I’m not entitled to my Kindle working forever just because I bought it today.

OK, you fight the corporations and I’ll just get a new Kindle.

OK, then just buy a new Kindle if you feel groveling is beneath you? I’ll admit that’s an even quicker solution.

Thank you. I try to not make things more complicated than they need to be.

Isn’t the simpler solution to not care? I’d rather just pay to read books from Amazon right on my Kindle than go through the rigamarole of pirating all my epubs and PDFs. In 16 years of Kindle ownership I’ve never once been like dang I wish
