I cannot watch TV and leave the house when Hubs does. Which he doesn't do anymore. I would rather pay for a series than watch commercials. I was at my mom's and she would have the TV on and I was so grossed out. 7 out of 10 commercials had to do with my body and what could be better with it or wrong with it. Now...I just wonder about all the subliminal indoctrination we are being subjected to when we do watch anything on those giant screens. I prefer a good paper BOOK.
I take care of my mom 24/7. I haven't watched regular programming on TV after I pulled that plug 25 years ago. So, mom watches TV all day long for the "noise". Holy God! The subliminal programming is real... every commercial tells you how sick you are or how sick you will be and that you better buy more insurance even if you are insured it isn't enough. It is disgusting and perverse... Can you imagine if people just pulled the plug en masse the positive effect that would have on mental health? It would disrupt the industry & save everyone a big chunk of money each month. It's time people... you will thrive without the idiot box.
Absolutely! Every time my mom sees the commercials to buy insurance for burial she anxiously asks me if we have enough money to cover her burial... And I can't help myself and sarcastically talk back to the "black mirror" spewing its spells. We give our power to that thing - let it form our thoughts and decisions. I just hope more people start to walk away from it or at least severely limit the time they spend using all of the black mirrors that invisibly tether around us like a boa constrictor squeezing the life out of us. Hate those stupid apple watches that train you to respond to be afraid of your own body (heart rate elevated - you better stay calm or you might die) and make you react every time it beeps and hums (Pavlov's dogs). First step in training us to accept transhumanism.
I have quite a collection of books. The older books were constructed with such care, beauty, and creativity. Creativity is what they seek to destroy in us - don't let them. Everything that happens is all on us. We must be fearless. We must choose wisely. And that will cost us but it will be worth the price.
Indeed - and (as I've stated here before) buy a printed Webster's International Dictionary (circa 1961), or the Encyclopedic Unabridged Webster's (circa 1994). These are often found in thrift stores for $3 or thereabouts.
As our western heritage is shipped off to the internet, it is being selectively filtered and modified to suit the tastes, perversions, and fashions of the day. Printed hard copy can not be modified once it is on your shelf.
Also Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett. Fourteenth Edition 1968. Only one worth quoting after that was Peggy Noonan as Ronald Reagan's voice. Maybe Ronnie did write some of his own words. Who knows?
I'd like to think so! For full disclosure I have a Y chromosome, but have always felt enjoying silliness and absurdity was great bonding with my girls. And instills valuable skepticism.
I credit Mom for providing the early exposure to Monty Python.
For fuller disclosure (and as evidence for further decent parenting!), our viewing is very limited, almost always recorded. So we could fast forward through them, but love that it's a race to mute specifically those commercials. And the "wait, act now and we'll throw in" ones.
I just looked up Y chromosome. It explains a lot to me. Thanks! Did you know that "The Y Chromosome Is Slowly Vanishing. A New Sex Gene Could Be The Future of Men". Search results may vary, depending upon engine used.
I love that you joke like that with your XX's.
More disclosure: I just heard on Sirius XM that the manager of Aerosmith, back in the day, saw the movie Young Frankenstein and told Steven Tyler that he HAD to write a song called Walk This Way. Because of that movie. When I heard that a few weeks ago I am like "I am today years old before I knew this very important factoid. How did I live my life without this knowledge!??".
Lately out of every 3-5 commercials at least one is for pharmaceuticals. Boring and disgusting! And now Pfizer is hawking anti covid drugs, for if you catch covid
I don't manage the remote and only watch in brief spurts, but my husband watches some old commercial channel. It is so refreshing to hear those old jingles from Enjoie and Breck rather then the pharma and trans ads we have now.
I ask my husband to mute the commercials when he’s watching tv

Whenever I get exposed to TeeVee I'm shocked at how bad it is. The shows and the ads. Lord help us.
I threw my tv out 20 years ago. Screw that NOISE!
Commercial TV is specifically targeted "programming" for the aged.
They don't "get it" but those of caring for the elderly clearly see it and hear it.
Absolutely scary!

Lols! Every time I'm in the LR and her TV is on at 38 decibels, I talk back to it. (VERY VERY LOUDLY. 😉)
I also tell her the TRUTH. ("Did your TV tell you THAT mum? No?")
She just clutches at her heart (pacemaker) and taps her feet.
I give her "anxiety".
The blasted B.S. NEWS though? Not so much...
Same here! I tell her I have to tell her the truth so the spell can be broken lol...
😁😁😂💖
Thank Bill Clinton for repealing the ban on drug companies propagandizing..err advertising on tv. Hell, thank him for the current banking crisis.
Always buy a paper book. E-books can disappear.

Think "Fahrenheit 451" ....

Or be rewritten to make it woke.
Looking for accurate and intelligent videos? Toss the dish and TV; subscribe to Rumble. Also $9 / month buys a "YouTube Red" ad-free sub.
Use an ad-block extension on Chrome or Firefox for zero ads on YouTube. Or use the Brave browser (my fave).
Doesn't work for cell-phone viewing, sadly.
I used to sun to YouTube but stick with rumble after YouTube started deleting my comments and took all the good stuff out.
My preteen daughter and I do the muting as well.
And then ad lib our own side effects while it plays out.
"May cause eyeball hair, extra toes, explosive ear wax, sometimes ending in death."
That made me LOL! I love that. Well, love, but not love. You guys sound awesome, like my daughter and I!!♥

I admit to sharing the same question now!
Sort of like the song now despite not really enjoying it prior. At least not thinking it one of their best.
And your butt falls off....but the benefits outweigh the risks!
Rigor Mortis.....ask your Dictor today!
It’s like you were in the room!
Hahaha 😂
Making your own dialogue is fun!
Yes it is, my writing has flourished.

My favorite are the baby and children commercials for the gene therapy shots. So heartwarming to know how much pfizer cares about babies and children.
I don't manage the remote and only watch in brief spurts, but my husband watches some old commercial channel. It is so refreshing to hear those old jingles from Enjoie and Breck rather then the pharma and trans ads we have now.
And I can't stand the actors in their pharma infomercial. They all have that insipid clueless look.
I would venture to say a side effect of being vaccinated and boosted!!!
