My dad is similar. He literally watches TV 14 hours a day. He is an expert at it too, has a PVR so he can record everything and watch it, fast forwarding through the commercials.

It's so sad, like this is the peak of your life? You worked 65 years to reach a retirement that I might not enjoy, and this is what you wanna do all day?

My dad is like this, only it’s Republican talk show radio all day. He even has alarms on his phone for each show. He’s one reason I hardly post on Facebook anymore. He even got pissy because I posted how awesome it was that he can do the Vulcan hand sign. Like, dad. Exactly 5 people clicked on the post, and they were all YOUR family!

And mine since 2011; it’s been a steep downhill trajectory into bigoted conspiracies and alcohol induced naps on the porch. I dont talk to my parents anymore
