The 2x speed button saved my brain from binge rot

Haha yeah I do the same thing with slow dramas. I set it to 1.25x for most shows and it cuts out like 20 minutes per episode. My wife thinks I'm insane but she's the one who falls asleep during the courtroom scenes.

Heard you on the loading screen thing - did you actually sit through it or did you just walk away and come back later?

Yeah the "she falls asleep" part got me. That's my wife with any movie that has a plot that takes more than 5 minutes to explain. But honestly I think we're all just training our brains to need faster everything now. I caught myself trying to skip past the loading screen on a video game the other day. It's like our attention spans got rewired by YouTube videos and TikTok, so now a normal paced TV show feels like watching paint dry.
