  • My wife best friend is married to a “functioning” savant. I would say he less Rainman but more asshole.

    Dude can’t catch a hint to save his life. Social cues are totally out the window. Dude just doesn’t know the right thing to say at any situations.

    I have years being upset with him and even having verbal battles with him.

    I realized that I was in the wrong. He simply lacks the ability to comprehend why he can or can’t say. Why am I wasting my time getting mad at him.

    So I guess in this scenario, his brain has too many wrinkles that it’s sorta smooth again.

    What is a comparable service?

    In my opinion, Spotify isn’t an end all be all. It’s the entry fee to the music industry.

    Here is an actual example. I love pop music. Spotify recommended a singer name CL and then showed me her concert in the local area. I bought tickets to her concert. Spent money on her merch. Enjoyed the concert.

    Without Spotify, there is little chance I would have even know she existed.

    I share a Netflix account with my brother(we use wireguard site to site so it looks like we are on the same network).

    The recommendation engine is great for Animes.

    It’s hard to know which new anime is out unless you see an ad or hear it from a friend.

    I have a Plex Lifetime account but have never tried the Plexamp.

    I wanna be real with you. Finding music and ripping it myself is a chore. I still have Spotify for this reason.

    Along with a recommendation engine they provide, if I hear a song in a store that I like, I can scan it with Google and it pops up the artist and then I click Spotify and it’s there.

    Because of Spotify and Steam, I don’t pirate songs or pirate games(much) anymore.

    I think the only time I pirate games now is if games require an online connection.
