Yeah, YouTube keeps trying to tell me to watch this tonight. It ain’t happenin. It would result in my second broken tv of the year.

Same. I am certain I can find something more productive to do, that will do less damage to my soul.

I have a date tonight. If the restaurant has a TV within view of our table, I’m going to ask to be moved!
(Related: Why must so many restaurants have TVs in the first place? If I wanted TV during my dinner date we could have gone to one of our homes where we’d have control over what we were watching.)

Are you questioning the telescreens? How else will you participate in the 2 minute hate, and be aware of the latest increase in the chocolate ration?

Hopefully, I’ll be too deep in my ration of greasy Victory Gin to care.

Heh, I just posted the bottom one in another thread.
I don’t think I owe you a Coke for that?

I think we both owe each other gin & tonics should there ever be an elsewhere meetup!

Maybe it’s a regional thing?

My wife is adamant that she wants to watch it. (I don’t know if this is a “Know thine enemy” thing, or something else.)
Fortunately, she says she’ll go upstairs and watch it on our bedroom TV if I really, really, really don’t want to watch.

I have not watched a State of the Union address since sometime in the 80s. I haven’t missed much.

I don’t know. I know it’s not universal, but it’s far too common. I had an app on my last tablet with an IR port that would cycle through several dozen different “off” commands for TV remotes and that would almost always turn them off. I may need to invest in a TV-B-Gone device.

I’m not feeling 100% this afternoon, but I’m going to play hockey tonight to avoid having an aneurysm and/or breaking the TV. I might be home in time to see Slotkin’s rebuttal, though.

Pubs in Toronto generally have TVs, usually showing a sportsball game. Oddly, the last two neighbourhood pubs I’ve been to have been playing movies from the 1930’s from Turner Classics. Restaurants proper don’t seem to have TVs.

This would be an interesting, if logistically challenging, endeavor.

Turns out the cruelty is only half the point. (The chaos is the other.)
