when my friend and her mom came back in the room, they were alarmed and looked really worried at each other
@Lee_Ars yeah the part that stumps me is that they turned the volume down for me but couldn't switch the screen

@sarahjeong @Lee_Ars They had become preconditioned to "hear" the sounds based just on the visual…which would be a little terrifying if true -

@sarahjeong Yeah, that seems like it'd be a particular kind of personal hell :/

@sarahjeong @Lee_Ars I've had the exact same thing happen to me, in childhood and now as an adult. It's a lifestyle that I can't understand. -
@sarahjeong The TV becomes so literally a part of life that absence is felt. I think it's rooted in acclimation, like how we adapt to smells -
@sarahjeong when I'm feeling less than charitable I see it as a sad dependency on inane, unchallenging bullshit. A way to drown out reality. -
@sarahjeong other times I think it's TV working exactly as designed. Maximizing its dominance on ones attention like a Skinner box would. -
@sarahjeong whatever it is, everyone whom I have seen do this thinks that they are normal and I'm the weird one. Perhaps they are right.
