    My boomer parents are looking at two screens 24/7. Either TV + tablet or tablet + phone or tv + tablet

    Bonus points when I call them and they don’t answer because they say they didn’t have their phone with them

      I swear to god, same parent telling me I’d pop my eyes out for playing aoe 2 for 6 hours non stop, watches 2 screens non stop. I honestly don’t even get, if you’re not watching the news, why is it on? If you’re playing solitaire, fine do it, it engages brain, but then why did you buy 400 hint bundle. When I wanted a better bike for my local race, it was cheating (real reason was affordability, which was valid). But then playing solitaire with hint isn’t?

      And then they wonder why I don’t value their opinion, what did they do wrong?
