i agree, that can't be avoided ... i've always wanted a soundproof shouting room with stuff to break and baseballbats hahah but i m afraid its above my paygrade for now , i used to keep it on in the back switching between the 400+ channels from ccn to russia today to cctv to bloomberg and back and at the end of the day i found i could sometimes distill a bit out of the same topics as reported by every single channel, because its all "coloured" ofcourse , there's an underlying opinion but in the end the conclusion remains the same : its 90% politics and 10% advertisting, sometimes 50-50 but they have no intention of bringing the actual facts as facts
on my last job ( a while ago ) i bought a shiney 50 inch plasma tv ... i used it mainly for windows games now, if i ever because i'm not really a gamer anymore either, sadly, i used to find lots of fun in that, it's escapism after all, just like reading a book would be
sifting through both content and data here and a bit of interaction with a diverse group of people gets me a lot more than being fed by "the methadone metronome"
if you don't mind a laugh btw : i just had one -->
americans have a bit of the reputation of being the most chauvinist, narcist culture on the planet overhere, but that's because people
only watch TV, lol, they never see the critics and the free thinkers
It would be nice to have a room that you could just let it all out in... I started like that, would keep the TV on for "background noise" until I noticed that I still was keeping up with the MSM... Nowadays it is videos that are playing a subject I am researching . We use our TV's as monitors now. What games did you play? We play FFXIV from time to time (we are taking a break from it right now, hopefully they will release a patch that has story in it before we go back to it ^^)
I watched the video. Most Americans do not understand this, its depressing. I can understand and even see why Americans are thought of like that. Do not get me wrong, I love my country and what it could be! I do have to say that America has an "all about me" society. It is all about being "better" than everyone else, the problem is being "better" is all about what you have and not who you are. There are a few of us that know better...a few lol.
I watched this one a while back. It was so great to see an entertaining bit of cartoon truth.
