Are there shows you'd be comfortable having paused fullscreen in a work environment?
Just doing so would suggest you aren't actually working (on its own a problem in many cultures).

- macksd 5y agoI probably wouldn't do this in a shared office, but I'm pretty open about the fact that I often like to have a show in the background while I work. Keeps my mind from wandering too far if I have a momentary pause for a big download or a long compile or something. And a lot of people find moderate background noise helps them focus. I've been through every Star Trek multiple times and am plenty productive at work. But Bay Watch isn't something I would want coworkers to see. Nipples or no nipples, it's trying to sexualize / objectify about as much as they could get away with in prime time TV. I can't go join a meeting about inclusive culture with my female coworkers if they just saw me staring at Pamela Anderson's bouncing tits in the middle of the workday.

- BeefWellington 5y agoI agree with pretty much everything you said. My statement was not a defense of watching Baywatch but rather a comment on watching everything being highly dependent on your workplace situation and culture. In an office setting the background noise can be highly disruptive, for example.
