This is a non-argument - just because most people do it doesn't mean you have to do it, too.

Edit: The slippery slope: 95% of people are straight.



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.”

> other people shouldn't watch it either.

Where did i suggest that? I only showed that what i did is a possible path. At no point i judged the other paths.

Watch my phrasing.. "... is an option", "you don't have to ...".

I suspect you are reading too much between my lines.


Yes because without such great insight, everyone would have thought that TV was a necessity in life like food water and shelter…


Worse, they think they need an TV because its "used by 95% homes in the US".


Would you say it’s good advice if someone needs to know how to change a tire - “I haven’t owned a car in 10 years. Just don’t buy a car?”


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.
