For the most part I tend to agree with the common belief that you lose more by way of time than what you gain in anything really watching television, which is why it’s called “programming” I guess. Fortunately though these days we kind of get to choose just exactly what we want to watch so
One of the perks of being an adult is being in full control of all the decisions you make, so in the case that what’s best for you can be put off for later you can indeed take the decision to get to it later. As long as you acknowledge the fact that the responsibility
