why did 3 happen because I never stopped buying them. I had a Pixel 4a that I used until it almost exploded. I’m on a 6a now and this thing is uncomfortable. I miss typing with one hand.
You’re not “most people”. “Most people” want to watch movies and TV and other sorts of media consumption on their phones, and having a larger screen allows one to do that with ease.
Why do people buy TVs? I feel like people forgot we used to have deligated tools. I can open a can with my pocket knife, but it’s not the ideal way to do it… ugh
This is actually how people live now. It feels crazy to say this but I actually know people like this in real life who use their phone while “watching” a film. There has even been debate about whether production studios are dumbing down scripts to cater to people who are literally not paying attention. We live in insane times.
Jackass I’m not watching movies and TV at Dr appts and at work. I make food in the kitchen and I have a TV in my bedroom like an adult.
My wife and I also make food in our kitchen and have a TV on each floor of our house, including our bedroom. However, the TV in our living room (which is on the same floor as our kitchen in an open floorplan) does not - and cannot - face the kitchen at all, so when we are making meals or whatever in the kitchen and want to watch a show, we use our phones. And when I have a dr appt (or I’m on my lunch break), I’ll watch stuff on my phone while I’m waiting.
Is there anything else you want justified, or are you just gonna move the goalposts again?
i’m not moving the goalpost, I’m standing by what I’m saying. I dont need my brain to be constantly stimulated by media to function in day to day life.

Great, then you should understand that this is entirely subjective, meaning that there is no “right” or “wrong” way for one to enjoy their media (as long as they use headphones in public spaces - fuck those who don’t).
Remember, this isn’t team sports. You’re absolutely allowed to enjoy your media the way you desire, and if that means you prefer it on your TV at home, that’s OK! However, that doesn’t invalidate others’ preference to enjoy it on their mobile devices. For me specifically, having a smaller device that can be placed anywhere convenient is preferred over a TV in a static location. Like I said, my living room TV cannot be seen from the kitchen, and I have zero desire to wall-mount it because it weighs over 70lbs (it’s nearly 20 years old, but still crystal clear).

Good for you (seriously). Personally, I like having the capability to do so. I don’t do it all the time, but when I do, it’s nice to have. And that’s OK, too.

Do you carry your TV with you to Dr appts? To work? To the bedroom or kitchen?
Didn’t think so.

Good lord it reminds me of the “this movie boring aah” where the dude is watching fucking family guy om his phone in the movie theater.
Edit: this is what you sound like.

Yeah I heard about this. Its, really unfortunate and part of the reason I was lashing out so bad. If you follow the comment chain we work it out.
Just a friendly reminder to please keep it civil.

They might watch less TV than you. They just do it more conveniently.
