    Well, if I couldn’t afford a subscription service before, now I absolutely can’t. Problem is I’m too much of a goody two-shoes and as a result I don’t pirate either - I genuinely haven’t seen a single TV series in almost a decade as a result, and at this point I’m scared of people expecting me to understand cultural references I can’t afford to legally learn

      You’re gonna die some day. Just watch the shows you want, you’re not taking food out of a director’s mouth.

      Subscriptions are there for those who can afford it. If you literally cannot, I don’t see the problem with sailing the seven seas until you can.

      Not going to lie- while I do watch most of what interests me in a timely manner, I’ve found that any cultural references that I do miss are easily explained via memes.

      Honestly you’re probably better off and more interesting for your lack of pop culture knowledge.

        Hahahahahahahaha. I was like that guy in my youth, not knowing what people were talking about was alienating. I was reading a lot of books instead and, of course, nobody understood the references too.
