My boomer mom cannot exist without the TV on. She literally will wake up if you turn it off. When she switched to streaming instead of cable, the "are you still watching" messages were a big obstacle. Oh, and she spends more time on video games than I do.

    Same with my dad. He needs therapy, but instead spends 18 hours a day watching westerns. Occasionally baseball, but there's not a single second of cowboy-themed media he hasn't seen at least 50 times.

    It's genuinely incomprehensible to me.
