hey wait. so if you grow up as an only child or with siblings who like the same tv as you how do you learn tolerance?

#that football poll really made me reflect on how much tv i've had on in the background that was just absolute white noise to me #altho back when we were all younger there were more tvs in the house. mostly small ones #there was one i remember vividly that was like only a foot wide. it sometimes moved around #it had a vcr player in the bottom #i so clearly remember watching lizzie mcguire on it while discovering if you smash a marker youre coloring w #all the ink comes out at once. but then youre left wo it being pointy at the end #and that tv could be moved around. i remember watching shrek on it in my mudroom once lol #i also remember watching whose line is it anyway and not understanding improv but just seeing the men sit in chairs #and stand up and just looking at the colorful background. it was somehow still entertaining to me i dont remember AT ALL why #tales from diana #one thing that is somewhat understandable to me from what i understand about childhood entertainment in the streaming era #is that children THANK GOD still seem to fight w their siblings about what to watch on tv #they just dont even say 'on tv' they say 'on disney plus' #it shouldnt feel so strange to me but i just cant imagine coming home from school and selecting something from a list of programs #and then watching that in full without commercials. i'm like what. that's not tv #you're supposed to get home in the middle of an episode of spongebob that they play twice a week and quote along w it like karaoke #youre supposed to argue and flip back and forth one thing and another when one turns to a commercial break #THATS AMERICA!!!!!
