Some quick advice, move from FOMO (fear of missing out) to JOMO (joy of missing out).

Thanks for giving a snappy way to call how I now feel about the lack of original-version American movies and TV series on streaming services in Germany. They’re all dubbed into German, and there is no legal source where I can hear the actors reciting their own dialogue. I understand and like German movies and even some TV, but can’t stand dubbed ones that I can almost lip-read in my native language.

Instead of taking the trouble to pirate or talk someone in the US through configuring a RaspberryPi on their home network, I just miss out. Previously, resentfully; now, joyfully.

JOMO.

I've personally adopted JOFU as a way of life.
As long as you stumble forward with enough momentum, you’ll get there eventually. Even if you don’t, you’ll do so joyfully.
This too is an interesting concept I had not heard of before today. Will give it some thought, thank you.
