My mother does but God Bless her, she’s not exactly a genius.

I love her and all but I think it’s just that ‘boomer’ mentality as well. “Nothing on, let’s watch cnn while I do housework.”

I honestly think half their views are housewives putting it on for background noise.

I feel ya. My old man still buys the paper. He grudgingly admits it's all fakenews but the act of buying the paper and sitting down and reading it is so ingrained in his psyche through 20 thousand repetitions that I can't break him out of it.

The mom in my house has the TV on while she does things around the house, engages in her hobby, and even when she sleeps. You're onto something.

Honestly I'm nervous of subliminal messaging that might play as she sleeps. Like watching Big Bang Theory before she goes to bed and the same channel having Rachel Maddow or HNL or what have you playing as she sleeps. What if her mind is processing it as she sleeps subconsciously? That sounds possible. I'm not crazy am I?

If I'm around I turn it off. Makes me uneasy.

I sleep with white noise myself, just not TV shows or anything with words in it. (If you're reading this communists I am a light sleeper and if you so much as fart I'll skin you faster than a rabbit)

My house is quiet now. No TV at all unless I want to watch "Alone" or some thing for an hour at night. My friend thinks I'm a really odd person for this. Her TV is on at all times. I don't think that I'm a better person for this ..I just like it this way, and don't feel like I'm being fed B.S. all day. (I'm a "Boomer" too.)
