Why do you have to bring Trump into every single conversation, no matter the subject? I hate the guy too, but Jesus Christ, do you ever think about anything else?
Hey, it's free rent! He can have the days I'm not using, too!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I'd feel pretty weird about letting a rich asshole live rent free anywhere, much less inside my head.

Yes, but you don't have as much empty space that needs renting as Brian does.

It isn't just TV remotes. I hate how at the end of a show, especially some documentary or police show, they give you a very, nanosecond epilogue graphic blurb to end the show which you don't have the time to read because Liberty Mutual and Ford F-150 need their add space. It pops up so fast you don't have time to read it. And all I can think is , 'JUST FUCKING STOP, YOU DON'T CARE"
Mice print "peek a boo" on meth.
Back in the 70s there was a "speed reading" scam advertised on TV. I don't know the company, but looking back at it now, of course it was bullshit.
I think even the inventors of the popular 70s/80s game "Simon", where you had to replicate the flashing buttons in sequence, were flashing colored lights, hate their fellow human beings.

Speed reading is a thing...I took a class while in high school. And it works.
I've watched TV for years with Closed Captioning on. I don't seem to miss the things that you do...perhaps because I am not distracted by ads.
If Simon was too tough for you it proves you have the attention span of a goldfish with dementia. But we knew that.
There are meds that could help you.
