Everyone should connect their TV to a PC and start watching Live Streams on twitch.tv

There is nothing better to fall asleep while watching a League of Legends Tournament or some of the best casters(ManVsGame,DansGaming and stuff) failing a new games
And you won't see such retarded stuff like you get 95% of the time at TV

I didn't watch normal TV in over 2 years now - I only watch shows from BluRay or other sources*cough*

I don't think most people from other countries think most Americans are like that, but they tend to believe that (for some reason) there are far more uneducated and trashy people in the United States than there are in similarly developed nations.


this is why people see americans as ignorant, why do you guys always do this? 

this whole "first world country" or "Most powerful country" thing.

Why do you assume that he's American?



I worked at walmart for a summer job lets just say I will never ever do that again.

OT: I don't watch T.V. anywhere near 8 hours a day for me personally it's like 1 or 2 hours a month.

Didn't know people still used 1st world, third world ect.

Is there a second world?  Never heard of that.

I thought poeple just essentially said now "developed country or not"  Not sure what qualifies as developed, but I'm not doubting Americans aren't arogant, but isn't almost every country in a way arogant.  I mean what good is your country if you don't believe you are the best?  I would hope that every country believes they are #1.

Because I am ignorant.

And this is why we have some stupid shows - need to fill slots with content for a populace that watches entirely too much television.

This always cracks me up.

If other developed countries aren't watching TV what are they doing?

Probably playing games on their TV or on the computer. Which to me is the same damn thing.

It's the same amount of eye strain and throw in some wrist detoriation down the road.

They aren't all reading books or going for daily jogs

Don't forget the US works more hours per week then any country, at least compared to this old study.

It's just that simple.

MURICA!

 

I kind of wish New York City is its own country now lol



CPU: Ryzen 7950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

I wouldn't say it's exactly like it, the worst exampled like Honey Boo Boo are picked because they are more entertaining.

My view of America isn't that far off though.
