So done with Netflix. Streaming just isn't worth it any more; I have better things to do with my time.

Might I recommend a library card? Most libraries have a DVD/BlueRay collection to borrow. And there are books. Maybe the younguns might want to consider reading a few more books? It's good for you. Like eating vegetables for the mind.

...This made me realize how lazy I've become around movies. I don't like the effort involved in going to a place to physically borrow an object, then having to remember to repeat that later to return it.

Renting movies was a very normal part of my life in the past. I'm not proud of this laziness. I'm fine with going to movie theaters, so it doesn't make much sense.
