lol, no doubt. i have a friend my age (early 40s), that is too lazy to "figure out computers" so he straight up has cable TV. no streaming device. has a smart TV but won't figure out how to use the streaming apps. we live states away, but when i visit, it's like a time machine to the extremely shitty future past.
"Wanna see what's on TV? I have some stuff on the DVR."
"I don't--- what?"
"Have you seen this episode of Rick and Morty? <gestures to a date of recording> It's great."
<presses buttons on remote, begins fast forwarding through recorded commercials, staring at a screen with flickering images of burgers, boobs, beers, cars waiting for some unknown visual cue>
"This is the most aggressively dystopian way to watch media I have ever seen up close."
"Whatever, dude."
when I was in high school I had a keychain universal TV remote and would just turn off the tv or change the channel when he was watching something dumb, I had it for months before he knew exactly what was going on
it is so brutal to watch. like, my 70+ year old mom knows how to netflix. she watches / falls asleep in front of total junk, but at least it's not like watching some monkey with electrodes in his brain getting his Clockwork Orange on. and, eerily, my DVR friend also thinks bill maher is hilarious.
my DVR friend also thinks bill maher is hilarious.
It's almost entirely clapter. It isn't about being funny, it's about them liking the message and how it punches down on people they hate. :smurf-cursed:

Actual picture of me speaking to my dad. How could you doxx us like this!?!?!1
:grillman: "Why are you so upset about ELO~N? He's doing more to Save Humanity(tm) than you ever will."
:doomer: "Doing absolutely nothing at all would be less damaging than what he's doing."
:grillman: "Joke's on you. My new Tesla(tm) is only a few months late."
Idk why but I really want a comic of that exchange with those same expressions
lol this is how my 72 year old dad watches tv except replace rick and morty with bill maher
Delete his Maher recordings and tell him it was some kind of glitch
