Not sure what you mean by, what was I doing.

But I recorded the show as a test because I was thinking man there seems to be a lot of commercials. I checked the time before I started the show. Then I watched the show and fast forwarded through the commercials. Then I checked the time after the show.

That’s how I figured out how out the length of the actual show. They played a little bit of show then a block of commercials.

Cable tv

And I’m sorry I just disagree. A few ads is one thing. Basically half the show is just stupid. I won’t watch that many commercials. I’ll record the show

I agree with a lot of what you said. It’s why I buy my disks. Can’t be deleted.

I am going to disagree with one item. You say you don’t have a tv. The screen you use to display the image is effectively a tv. So in essence you still have one. You just don’t have cable tv or an aerial antenna. You even use the streaming services from time to time.

But otherwise yeah I definitely understand where you are coming from.

Ads weren’t bad when it was like a minute with of commercials. Now it can be 7 minutes at a time. The worst was when I was watching Star Trek Voyager, a one hour show was actually 27 minutes of ads. Not a joke. 27 minutes of ads and 33 minutes of show. That was what broke me. I now record everything and watch it later and fast forward through the commercials.

Do you watch any streaming services or do you mean zero tv, no shows, nothing?

I bought a tivo have had a couple through the years. They (spectrum and the tv station) can’t control what I fast forward through.

I record everything I watch. Record now and watch later. Then I fast forward through the commercials. If something seems interesting I’ll go back and actually watch it.

I have to assume there was some sarcasm in there that I’m missing.

I literally don’t know if you made this up or if it’s actually from a book.

Either way… Well done

Most of them are a pain in the ass to properly clean. My mom has a ninja air fryer. There is no way to remove the top grate. The grease builds up in it.

Why would you attack a civilian at a football game just because you hate their government?

A lot of liberals do vote. I think you meant "for those liberals that don’t vote, why don’t they vote "

Trump won this time. I don’t like it but he did win.

At 24 seconds

It’s all good

Lol for a moment I honestly thought you meant me.

True but I guess the way I’m reading it is reading is reading regardless of how you read.

The article is just saying they don’t read for pleasure. Regardless of the format

Good enough for me.

He didn’t realize it was an issue, he won’t do it again.

Curious what is the alternative to reading?

Maybe I’m missing it but where in the article does it say “reading books”? Reading can be done via a tablet or even a phone. You can check out a digital book from the library. The article as far as i can tell just says they don’t enjoy reading for pleasure
