Your edit doesn’t help. That’s just like giving advice to a straight man who complains about not being able to find a woman - “just find a man. I haven’t slept with a woman in 10 years. You don’t have to date women.”
Its only unreasonable if you need the car for something. By implication, i assume having a TV is a necessity for you.
If you want a TV in your life so badly, you can say just that. Like "But i love Star{gate,trek,wars} and i can't watch it comfortably without a TV/Streaming". The thing with the 95% is a unecessary pretense.
Yes, I understand that. Going back to the 80' or 90' you'd frequently be in a position where everyone had seen the same news, show or movie the night before or during the weekend, leaving you out of the conversation. That's no longer the case, there is so much content that it's not really weird that haven't watch something. Sports is so expensive that it's no surprise that you didn't a particular event. It's almost surprising of two people in an office watched the same thing the night before.
Also there are so many other types of media available, like video games, audio-books, podcasts, online articles, e-books. You can be just as informed and entertained without a TV.
What next the old Slashdot meme - “I haven’t owned a TV in 10 years. Do people still watch TV?”
