The books by Sanderson are awesome

As the series progressed he kept introducing new characters it drove me crazy.


Back on topic:

We have a TV with cable but only because somehow there is a free signal in our appartment. Once this gets shut down we will get rid of the TV entirely.
I do occasionally watch a movie or series on netflix but lately I have been getting back into my reading

The kids watch netflix and youtube as well. Max 30 minutes a day screentime for them during schooldays. Bit longer during holidays

Personally I feel TV-shows and whatnot are pure brain poison

I said "fuck it" and unplugged the TV cable from my bigscreen TV, "I'll plug it back in when I want to really watch the idiot box."

That was in May.

2019.

I haven't looked back.

Side effect: its like invasion of the bodysnatchers, the people all over you show rage and neurosis to subjects which just aren't that important, all insisting on the exact same buzz words and buzz phrases that upset them so.

And they exchange these soundbytes between them and get more upset and its either fucking about nothing or something so far-fetched and fetishized like finding it impossible to condone that Moslim ladies wear their head scarfs, or how this or that politician said so and so that, completely beside the point, alludes to ill repute.

When the US and Russia have a limited nuclear exchange over Russian sub sunken by the US navy I'll plug in and watch the fireworks.

But for the rest?

No thanks.

It brainwashes you into fear, anger, frustration and unhappiness that lights up your alarm pathways of the brain so that you keep tuning in because your brain cant help but insist its as important as smoked methamphetamine shards.

Commercials instill an unfulfillment in you that can be relieved by buying their product.
The news says Good Evening, then tells you why it isn't in such a way that it won't ever be.

No. That's an easy one. I'm nearly bed bound and it's one the only ways to escape that pain and the mental problems. I want to be able to do things. I used to before the aaccident even before they cut me off my muscle relaxers. I used to be able to go on several week trips across the country now I'm lucky if I can sit up all day.

Yeah man this is my year. So many newly posessed people, just lost their shit. Even among my circles of cool and earthy people, even here. The machine has taken over so many minds.

I could easily go without.  It's totally common for me to have a busy work week and not watch a minute of TV.

With that said, I enjoy movies particularly.  I have a super high end home theater so I can easily watch 2-3 movies on the weekend.

I'm honestly not surprised so many people who have taken pshycidelics have turned away from TV. I haven't owned a TV ever in my adult life. My room mate has one and I am amazed how terrible shit now a days is. And the ads sweet christ what an annoyance. Even YouTube is getting too ad heavy its just not enjoyable for background music anymore.

I haven't watched television programming since I was 15 or 16 when Daily Show with Jon Stewart was on. After that I streamed Breaking Bad. Since then, no TV.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 12:6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Y'all are making No Fap challenge threads.

FAP and make No TV challenge threads. They will be compelling as the participants are one by one coming out of the hypnosis and realize they live in a country of remote controlled drones having the darnedest opinions on the most beside-the-point issues while the actual biggest problems in the nation are unaddressed.

There is more to gain from No TV than from No Fap.

Was going to post TV Party by Black Flag but every upload on YouTube had an ad for car insurance. Not very punk rock. YouTube and TV go can suck a lifetime supply of ad revenue dick.

It wasn't that long ago YouTube had no ads. And Netflix came in the mail. What happened?
