Television culture in the USA is despicable. I'm not surprised that people here are so fat and docile - they absolutely DO buy whatever the man on the television is selling. It's not even limited to idiots. I know plenty of otherwise brilliant scientists, engineers and successful businessmen that do nothing but plop down on the couch and consume garbage off screens in epic proportions. People just prefer this existence sadly. Life is too easy here. This shit is almost worse than when I was living in USSR where you had The Government Channel. At least there, you had the excuse of not having a choice. Pre-COVID I signed up for this dating app where you had to answer prompts to set up your profile and one of the questions was "What's something embarrassing about you?". My knee-jerk response I typed in the box was "I don't particularly like watching television". Decided not to go with that answer because who the hell, in this country, is going to relate to that? LOL
