The overstimulating feeling of the news constantly playing at my parents house. It’s always some political news station too. I usually turn it off or mute it when I go over. Like don’t you want to just chill occasionally and not be consumed by what’s happening in the world constantly? I could never consume that much political media. My parents have always been the type of people to have the TV on playing the news all day. That or my mom used to watch the food network or HGtv. Now it’s primarily the news. In my house we have smooth jazz playing and the tv stays off usually unless there’s a show or documentary we really want to watch. The idea of having it on all the time though is very overstimulating for me. I was at my parents yesterday and just talking with my mom, and my dad (just like he always does) goes “ hey what do you want to watch? I’ll put on whatever you want to watch!” And I go “ I don’t want to watch anything, dad. I’m talking to mom” and he persists and asks if I want to watch my reality show (90 day fiancé), I tell him I don’t really have time to watch that anymore. Instead I watch this girl in a potato filter on YouTube react to each episode, and I tell him how Henry loves the talking potato lady 😂 and then he turned that on. I was like “please.. turn the tv off” they thought the potato filter was ai. The tv always on might be a boomer thing though. Baileys parents do it too. Except they watch political podcasts. I go to pick up Henry when he visits and I can hear it blasting from the front door. Like did you learn about Christian politics today, baby?
