From my personal experience with not having a TV for the last ~10 years. I think the reason this comes up a lot is because people talk a lot about what on TV. When I was one of the only people around who did not have a TV and the conversation turned to some TV program, I was "forced" to say that I did not have access to it and couldn't have seen it. I think some people took it as slightly condesending that I actively choose to remove some activity from my life they themselves enjoyed.
When there are only a few people in a group who do not do as everyone else and it's a frequent conversation topic, they stick out. I have been on the other side with veganism. I'm not vegan. People talk a lot about food. Vegans say they don't eat meat. I would be slightly disheartened that they can't relate to the tasty greasy burger I was taking about.
As a lot of my peers now don't have flow TV and a fair amount is vegan, the default of everybody, my self included, is not to assume that you have a TV or eat meat, but to ask if you don't know. When you don't have a TV program or some types of food in common, the conversation shifts to something else. I see a lot less friction now than a few years ago.
This lift was due the large dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas being unavailable after an accident with Oasis Of The Seas.
Oasis Of The Seas was over the capacity of the dry dock, but was still docked. It was not lifted completely out of the water.
The dry dock broke under the ships weight causing the walls of the dry dock to collapse onto the ship. A crane collapsed onto the stern. Remarkably it didn't capsize. There where some non-life-threatening injuries.
