Yeah, we'd lose gloriously if we were on the same trivia team. Haven't owned a TV since the 80s. One of my best decisions. Took me a while to appreciate Frank Zappa.

Yeah, we'd lose gloriously if we were on the same trivia team. Haven't owned a TV since the 80s. One of my best decisions. Took me a while to appreciate Frank Zappa. Other than that, for years the topics of conversation almost anywhere I find myself, including with friends, for the most part have nothing to do with anything behind the curtain. So superficial, I... can barely... stand it. Not bad people, just gloriously incurious and accepting of cultural spoon feeding. ...Always was a misfit. ...Heterodox...
Well we still have a TV. Bought in 1999 and NOT 'smart'. We like it that way. Hubby is still a sports nut and it also plays Sirius XM as we have Dish (yeah, waste of money for me. But see above...SEC network and such...) so we use it to listen to classic/new rock. Actually stumbled on a game show we like, called The Floor, came on after a football game and hubby hooked me into it. It's a trivia game, a fun diversion an hour a week. Its on YT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl9w0XE65fM
But yeah, used to being out of touch on the majority of the vapid topics these days, which is why I spend a lot more time these days on political things, campaigns, events, speakers. Lot more kindred spirits in that crowd.
Oh my. I made it less than 10 min at link. No, don't miss TV. A reality TV producer in L.A. once said to me: It's my job to make people look stupid. - Well, I chuckled, 'cause he was just being honest but, Ouch. Have had producers randomly ask on the street in NYC (in days gone by) if I'd like to... I don't even know. Something on camera. I didn't even listen to the whole proposal. Noooo thanks. 😅😂 I pity the folks that agree.
Keep that old TV, as you no doubt know. I wonder if I've covered all potential image and sound intake areas on the relatively new laptop. I do have a smart phone and wonder if there will come a final straw on privacy invasion that will make me choose to give it up. Yadda. 😏
Lol. Well yeah it has tinges of reality TV but I still like the trivia parts. Actually better on YT as you can fast forward through the chatter and just watch the contests.
