Went home to visit my boomer parents for Thanksgiving and they watch a lot of TV. I should say they watch a lot of commercials.
I don't have CATV/SATV or whatever the GenXers and Boomers are consuming these days. I stream everything through a browser with adblock so I never see a commerical.
My god! It's commercial after commercial after commericial for seemingly the majority of the program. Even football games are all commercials now. Do they pause the game for 5 minute commercial breaks? I used to play college football. I don't remember putting the game on hold for 5-10 minute commercial breaks.
Modern television in unwatchable. It's like 1 minutes of show and then 3-5 minutes of commericals. It didn't used to be like this. In a 30 minute block, there was 22-24 minutes of show, now it's like 10-15 minutes of show and the rest is commercials. Modern TV is unwatchable! I burst a blood vessle in my eyeball in anger.
The next day we all sat down for breakfast with the TV on, of course, and we all finished our meals before the commercial break ended. WTF, DUDE!!?
Anyways, I'm trying to get them to cut the cable.
Download a "file" which contains the media. The "file" resides on your device and you can play it whenever you want.
Spare me the condescension. There’s plenty of content that is best viewed live. Not everything is weeb shit or whatever the fuck you’re into.
You never mentioned sports in any of your comments. There were two possibilities:
I apologize for giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Edit:
Sorry. I missed that the first time. My mistake. Good luck. I hope Tyrone scores all the points.
Ahh, predictable. Some of us actually weigh less than 400 lbs and played sports and have some appreciation for the athleticism that’s involved in this stuff, and we can tune out the surrounding cuckoldry. I’m sorry (sincerely) if you got bullied by braindead jocks for liking anime or whatever, but stop being retarded.
Anyway, the op explicitly mentions sports, so I kind of figured you could put two and two together.
Then just tune out with the endless ads for pills for crippling dry mouth or whatever too.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I didn't get bullied by anyone. I just don't get why anyone would cling to leagues where they obviously despise their fans. I'm not criticizing you for enjoying sports. I'm criticizing you for caring about professional [televised] sports in 2025. Yeah, you can pirate to avoid supporting them but at the end of the day, it's still caring enough to tune in to see if some guy who hates America can run it to the "Stop Hate end zone, presented by MasterCard." It's not the underlying sport that's the problem, it's the show.
Fair. I was responding to comments without re-reading the OP.
