A coworker and I were going to lunch not that long ago. I'm driving my car, and he asks "Is your radio broken?"

I go no, it's not broken, why do you ask?

"The screen is dark."

I inform him that it's "off" and punch the power button. The screen lights with it's "apps" screen, a list of totally useless things the device can do, including perform like a radio from 1926 with a bad 201.

There was no more conversation as I believe the person simply locked up with not understanding that the device doesn't need to be on all the time, especially when it's not in use. There's nothing on terrestrial ad broadcast that I want to listen to, and I prefer simply listening to the road over most garbage that's on the air these days.

I've noticed writing on TV shows and movies has markedly declined over the past ~5 years, and it wasn't particularly good in the first place.

One of the factors at play is the rise of "second screen viewing", where producers know that the majority of viewers aren't actually paying attention to the show, because they have a phone in their hands at all times.

This leads the producers to push writers for a huge amount of exposition in every fucking episode, where characters repeatedly explain the plot and narrative up to this point for the retards that can't put their fucking phones down.

The screens will make us all retarded, if they haven't already.

I haven't noticed. Gave up most of that kind of media back in the 90s.

I know. No debt, no television, and niggers go back to Africa.
