my 74 year old dad watching MSNBC at full volume while also watching Facebook videos with laugh tracks on his phone also at full volume

He wont even mute the tv during commercials, just two of the most obnoxious sounds imaginable competing to be louder. I got him some decent wireless headphones for Christmas last year and he still does this every day

Millenials having to live with our boomer parents into our late 20's and beyond should be considered some sort of psychological torture

Have you talked to him about it?
- yes, I bought the headphones to try to solve the issue
  
  How's he supposed to hear the TV if he's got headphones in?
  
  Yeah but have you brought it up since then?
  
  I have to bring head phones when ever I got to my father-in-law's for the same reason.
horseshoe theory except it's boomers and gen z both needing several things going on at once to keep their attention

- The lead most likely
  
  MSNBC is the warm blanket. My mom refused to cut the cord because there was no way to stream msnbc at the time
Our generation will be way worse as old ppl. Pretty sure I wrecked my eardrums at 16 with my iPod earbuds. If I make it to 74, I'll be blasting shitty, annoying podcasts at 100-plus volume.
- my crusty old ass with two remaining functioning braincells begging the nurse to put on my favorite Youtube Poops and Epic Memes from like 2007
  
  Wish I'd saved that one GI Joe PSA with the Wu-Tang torture skit, it disappeared from the Internet and now life will never be the same
