These comments are all so funny like you DIDNT know I wasn't talking about live TV? Hahaha why the hell would I ask that question? đ

Because it's 2022 and there are kids out there who never had live broadcast TV in their lives while being old enough to be on reddit and ask questions.

Iân confused by your comment and going by your upvoted itâs obviously my issue so ELIA5: if you exist at a time when you can go on reddit, itâs not possible for you to have lived and died before live broadcast TV was invented, no?

They were referring to the current cord-cutting generation, I assume. Analogue broadcast TV went offline in America years ago so you'd only get TV if you paid for cable or some equivalent service. Plenty of people opted to just stick to streaming services and "cut the cord".
bambrini16 t1_j29m5af wrote
But they are aware of the concept even if they havenât used it themselves, no?
I also had no idea that America didnât have any freeview TV any more- thatâs crazy! TIL

It went offline in Europe too. But we got digital decoders that you pay only once.
Many kids today watch their shows on Netflix and most adults don't bother to get decoders. So many households never actually watch live broadcast anymore. The concept of looking up when a show is gonna be broadcast and tuning in at the right time is absolutely alien to a good portion of today's youth.

This is very true

The phrase âwatch a showâ originates from broadcast tv. If you said âstream a showâ it would definitively be what you meant.

Lack of intelligence obviously.
Has stupid thought, gets pointed out, becomes arrogant.
You follow the bleuprint to the dot
bambrini16 t1_j29fq30 wrote
No, itâs quite clear what they meant. Everyone banging on about live TV (except for those who are obviously joking and teasing) is either being deliberately obtuse, pedantic, or just plain stupid
FetusDrive t1_j29ii6v wrote
he meant watch a show, if he meant "stream" then that would be "stream".
it could also be "has anyone ever said the same prayer at the exact same time!?"
"obviously I didn't mean reciting the same prayer in a church!"
bambrini16 t1_j29j6jp wrote
Donât be ridiculous. Nobody says âIâve been streaming X programme on Netflixâ. You say âIâve been watching X programmeâ. It was patently obvious that they meant a totally coincidental synchronisation

But that wasnât their shower thought, the shower thought was the one they wrote, not the one they meant to write

With all due respect, are you autistic or otherwise neurodivergent by any chance?

Donât cut yourself with that edge, bro

How was that edgy?
FetusDrive t1_j29ld17 wrote
interesting question you just asked, do you by chance have a hard time understanding things? (p.s. I am being respectful when I ask this!)
bambrini16 t1_j29luxs wrote
I have a hard time understanding whatâs edgy about trying to be mindful and respectful of others who maybe donât process information the same as most people do
FetusDrive t1_j29maqf wrote
ok, and I am asking the same to you. Do you have a hard time understanding things unlike normies like me? I
bambrini16 t1_j29mkd6 wrote
But you never even answered? Iâm guessing if youâre using a word like ânormieâ youâre probably not though and now Iâm thinking you took the question as an insult. Thereâs nothing wrong with being neurodivergent- itâs not an insult
FetusDrive t1_j29o86n wrote
people call other people autistic as an insult. They also ask if the other person is autistic as an insult.
I understand very well what you meant.
You're not understanding that the OP is being called out because he worded his shower thought poorly.
bambrini16 t1_j29qeng wrote
Only if they think being autistic is a bad thing, which I donât because Iâm not unintelligent and immature. And I didnât call you autistic- I politely asked if you were, or otherwise neurodivergent as autism is obviously not the only condition that can cause people to struggle to read between the lines and pick up on context and pragmatic clues, nor do all autistic people struggle with those things
Edit: and to clarify, I asked you so that I could be respectful if you were. If you were then I would understand better why you didnât get what OP obviously meant to refer to. If you werenât, then youâre just an idiot that lacks common sense
FetusDrive t1_j2ab9cu wrote
Oh I see; so you are either going to call someone an idiot and be rude or be understanding if they are autistic. You sure saved yourself there !
bambrini16 t1_j2am43a wrote
Well yeah- Iâm not gonna say you lack common sense if youâve got a good reason for not understanding
LongBoyNoodle t1_j289k3w wrote
It's your fault. That's how you wrote it. As i grew up me and all my friends did watch the new naruto episode every wednesday for example. Dont act like a brat in those comments. Older people still watch shows on live TV. And even when you talk about streaming services. GoT was watched AS SOON as it was out for years. Im sure that happend.

You: Hey wouldnât this common thing be crazy if it happened
Everyone: no it happens all the time
You: why does no one appreciate how deep I am
