BTW, When are you going to get rid of your fucking TVs?

[Cryptoplasty]

Why buy a couch when odds are you'll find some lawn chairs in a trash heap this summer....... why buy a coffee maker when you can just cook some coffee over a fire in the park.......

You reaganite faggot.

[riley-o]

which is like four hours after they started

plus you skip 4 hours of commercials. i don't want to tell you how to live your life, but do it my way instead.

hd net has maybe one minute of commercials every half hour. i tough it out...

[Gunther]

brb gonna torrent the hockey game i just watched that ended in overtime

[Cryptoplasty]

Anyone who doesn't watch everything on their Ipad is a Republican.

[father of lies]

Who's trying? I'm fine with people having brainless downtime (mine is filled with the internet and video games), but why the fuck should I spend twice the money to be able to watch the same shit I can watch now, but with commercials? Fucking retarded.

[Gunther]

Shut up, Reaganite!

But you intentionally start arguments with them because you obviously have the superior mindset when it comes to watching media.

Damn right I do.

I could also not be completely seriously when I call somebody a suburbanite Christian Reaganite cocksucker for having cable. I also think fancy pants phones are silly, but I don't run around slapping them out of people's hands.

[Gookstorm]

Some people are so technologically inept that operating a TV just may be the limit of their ability to consume higher bandwidth media. Just saying.

[soiled depends]

2019. I've got the date circled on my sun dial.



happy, faggot?

[Bored, Esq.]

Why even have the internet? Don't you xasthur fans have an active enough imagination?

Shit is true. I post here by telepathically controlling Kitchel. I haven't touched a computer in years.

You can't afford internet and cable...

[Krieg]

I combine both worlds. Free to air TV is not that bad in Germany, and even the crappy popular channels can be fun to watch. And I follow all the American stuff I want to watch trough torrents that I watch in the normal TV because:

Tv looks better on tv.

[soiled depends]

Oh now that can't be true...

I AM pretty broke, but I most certainly can. There's just a lot of other things I'd rather spend my money on. I would only be down for getting a package if we were to get Uverse with the suped up internet.

Krieg, how do your locally produced shows compare to ours? The only thing worth watching on regular tv here are docs and cooking shows on PBS, and then a handful of other shows that are 1/3 commercials.

[rape bear]

Sometimes people like one thing, and other times people like another. Neither of those people will understand the other.

Most of the people here complain that German TV sucks, but in my opinion it is not that bad, they just watch the wrong channels and/or have the wrong expectations. There are several channels making documentaries and they are decent, there are several decent cooking shows and even home improvement programs are OK.

But people prefer to watch realities and that kind of popular shit, I watch some of them but with other expectations. Some of them can be really sick/funny. Like one show were farmers look for wives, they have to put subtitles when they speak because they have heavy south-German accent, in the last season one sick guy admitted he fucked chickens and insisted that that was normal, he fingered a chicken on camera but unfortunately that was not aired even if they promised for a whole week to do it. There is as well the a "super idol" program where one of the judges is probably the most meanest/hated guy ever in German TV. Some programs where they "help" people, like small family businesses doing bad or stupid people who are totally bankrupt and need financial advise. "Real time" programs following policemen, firefighters, Autobahn police, customs, etc. Programs to "teach" people to shop wisely. And tons and tons of police/detective programs / soap operas.

To make things interesting, soft porn / sex scenes are allowed on TV. After 10 pm there are channels that change into soft porn and sex hotlines ads.

Sports is pretty bad because most of the sports are in paid channels, only F1 is in free to air. But I do not care for sports anymore.

And there is a super special program where they invite super stars and they bet on weird skills from the locals, like a guy who can recognize any toilet paper brand by smelling it, or the autistic kid who can identify a dialed number by hearing the tones and then knows who the telephone belongs to in his whole village, and so on. My taxes well spent.

Right know they are showing a cooking program with German "stars" nobody know and one of them is a midget.

[Vanessa America]

Looks like smegma has never lived with a chick..... if they don't get to watch Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty and Grays Anatomy they go fucking mental...... plus I like to watch Jeopardy and Law & Order.......

I watch 1 hour of TV a month and this is whatever my room mate is watching in Spanish.

I'm sure your wife is extremely pleasant Noah, but not every woman is just like her... you've openly discussed numerous times that you love that she watches those shows because you actually like them, you can stop pretending at this point.

Just pull out your tits and don't concern yourself with Noah... Nobody here cares what you have to say...

[chrusti(ns)anity]

my TV is for watching DVDs or videos. No cable and it doesn't even receive the local stations.

[Krieg]

Important update: The midget is not only one midget, they are 4 of them, they are quadruplets, all female, and they are singers and had a hit back in 1971.

Edit: 2 of the midgets are cooking right now and they are arguing.

Re-Edit: They have a mini-kitchen. Fuck, this rules.
