Am I the only one that Does This?

[The Intergalactic Koala]

You watch a trash ass show. Instead of having a brain of a smart kangaroo and just move on to another show, you let the shyt ride and treat it like background noise.

There's a Chinese drama on my feed that I am currently letting play, as I do normal activities including washing clothes and getting groceries. I know I'm not crazy or have ADD to just throw garbage ass shows like this in the bushes...

 

[Complexion]

No.

My attention is too valuable*.

*spends all day on the Coli instead*

It's so weird man. Like it's a pet peeve to see "continue watching" under the feed or leaving a show/movie half done. Like, I know it's trash, but I just want to get through it like a video game achievement.

 

[Brehcepticon]

Yes. You may be the only marsupial in the world that does this.

Thanks for your honesty, mate.

Thats actually a huge part of it as they've trained you to get rewarded for trash/wasting your life in exchange for a virtual hug from the computer.

The key to this influx of detritus is to be more selective. Not just of shows but everything, including people.

The time that you're investing in that background noise could've taught you something useful, entertained you thoroughly or just been used more constructively in general. I'm sure you've got a list of things a mile long to do that you don't handle because of zany Guatemalan soaps with excessive zoom ins and janky effects.

Yeah I need to get my life together in the midst of this trash ass show. Like I could work on my second book in the process of all of this nonsense.

I 've done it with shows that start off good and fall off. The last like 3 seasons of Power were like that to me, I watched them but it was more watching me. Same for The Chi. I actually just stopped watching a couple episodes into the last season

Consider the trash ass show as a reflection of your (currently) trash ass life and you'll see why they both vibe then flip and think about those unpenned (yet) pages of excellence that represent the destiny you could manifest and it hits like a straight line in Tetris.

La Brea is fukking terrible but I gotta see it through
Only show I ever tapped out on was Quantico

 

[MajesticLion]

Just-to-finish-the-story syndrome.


Game of Thrones, easily.

I actually do this when I’m perusing the Coli, lol.

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

No. I’ll just have CNN or The Simpsons in the background

 

[old pig]

not if the show is trash off rip…but if it’s a TV series that I’m invested in (by several seasons) that started off great then ya I’ll continue to watch it/keep it as “noise in the background”

if you’re talking about on a day-to-day basis tho, I don’t have regular TV so if I’m watching a show then it’s something I genuinely want to watch/stream…when I had regular TV, I’d just have ESPN on or a rerun of a show I’ve seen several times…I kind of use podcasts now to keep as noise in the background now that I think about it
