SiriusXM.

I felt I needed it to help me get through trips to and back from work. I always listened to comedy stations and nothing else, because the music resembled nothing I hadn’t heard before on repeat through retail stores and FM radio. When I couldn’t afford SiriusXM, I downloaded a podcast app that seemingly worked without needing a data plan or a subscription (I know the episodes are probably downloaded ahead of time on wi-fi). With this, I felt I don’t need Sirius anymore.

Monster Javas

I was an addict and still a recovering addict of this drink. It’s the only Monster-related beverage I always had, never caring for the other flavors. For a while, starting back about seven some odd years ago, I drank a can and I felt energized. Then as time went on, it turned into just a drink I’d have for the sake of comfortedness, because it was no longer doing anything for me anymore. Plus it was burning a hole in my budgeting because cans of these weren’t exactly cheap on their own.

After being off from a single can after three weeks, I actually felt a lot better. Probably not going to get back into them.

    Facebook messenger. I was afraid people wouldn’t want to deal with using other chat apps, etc. DM’d everyone I knew with “Hey I’m leaving Facebook, I have XMPP, Signal, texting, and email, lemme know which one you want” and most people were fine giving me their phone number.

    Turns out most people don’t care.
