Topic: The "I Dare You to Stay On Topic" Game

[dweez]

I normally spend more time on the internet but this past weekend I gave my computer a break due to hardware issues and watched more TV.

[smokester]

I actually watch TV on the internet using a little player.  If I ever watch TV it is always something I have downloaded off the internet so they are kind of inseparable for me, but as for actual broadcast TV; I only really watch the News at 10.

I spend way to much time in the internet, unless you count playing videogames as watching TV. I download the TV episodes from the series that I want to see, cause in my country the CW for example is not broadcasted. And anything else I watch on youtube.

Is the subject still rudeness and supermarkets? Or is Jack starting something different?

Topic: Are you spending more time watching TV or surfing the Internets?

How did I miss those posts? Doh...

The internet is where I spend much more time. There just isn't much on TV that isn't available online. Even local news can be found there, but for some reason I still tend to watch it on TV.

Is downloading tv shows watching the internet or tv? Hhhhhmmmmm.....I watch a buttload of shows but download them all so Im not really sure how to answer. But I do know I spend a hell of alot more time with my ass in this office chair than I do on my couch.

To clarify for cheapy, I only watch a few shows on TV, but I have to leave the computer to do it, so that should be the criteria for telling the difference. If you watch TV shows on your computer that still involves the Internets.

So having said that, I spend a lot more time online than in front of the set anymore. No commercials, too.

KA tiptoes in....takes a deep breath...checks the subject at hand, again...I spent most of yesterday in the chatroom, but the tv was on with no volume in the background. As my attention was focused on playing in the chatroom, and not whatcing tv, the internet still wins out for me. Although I did go offline to watch Leverage last night.

I have only antenna, so I am really limited. Most the stuff, I watch them online or download them.

Next topic:  Vandalizing public bathrooms, WTF?

Next to the successful utilization of electricity, I think that the public
bathroom/loo/water closet/restroom/latrine/whatever you call it is one of the greatest inventions
of our times.  What I don't understand is why people insist on vandalizing
them so often.  Not just graffiti (which doesn't cause much harm), but
more so the clogging up toilets and sinks with paper towels, making fecal messes of
toilet seats, peeing on the floor and other disgusting behaviors. 

I don't understand why anyone would want to ruin a place that should
be treated as more sacred than any holy site being that everyone needs
to worship there at some point, and I assume that everyone would prefer
that worship to be clean 

Your thoughts as to why or simply rant about it.

[JackFrost]

Well, I work at a concert/sports arena and I can tell you there are some serious shenanigans going on in those bathrooms.

But the worst?

Cheerleaders.

Our maintenance guy has pulled all sorts of things out of the toilets after those girls swing through here. The maxi-pad dam is pretty routine, but there was a time when he pulled a pom-pom out of one and a full pair of jeans out of another.

I can understand the maxi-pads to a point, but pom-poms and jeans?

When I used to get high I actually looked forward to going into vandalized bathrooms and reading literally every post I could. The limericks were the best. Plus my favorite club had alot of artsy nouveau people, so it was fun. Where men bring their reading material into the stall we woman have it supplied for us.

Far as I'm concerned they would have to construct something better that tissue paper seat protector. It seems the only thing it is designed for is to fall down into the toilet bowl before seat meets seat. Oh! And the doors that never lock so you have to brace your feet against the door to keep the door shut. In order to prevent another person possibly attempting to enter the stall not knowing it's occupied.
