We don't miss what's going on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 point 14 hours ago Good for you, they're still as in the way as a tall man with a large hat in front of you at the cinema. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DudleyMason@lemmy.ml -3 points 12 hours ago (2 children) I promise you the statistical likelihood is that i read a page of text much, much faster than you do. The problem is that my neurodivergent brain will not allow me pay attention to anything else if there's text on the screen, even after I've read it. Those of you who prefer subtitles just don't have that problem, which is fine, but acting like that problem isn't real or isn't as important as your audio processing issues is absolutely not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago (1 child) So you can just never watch something in another language with subtitles and be able to see what's going on? That sucks! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DudleyMason@lemmy.ml 1 point 7 hours ago I usually have to watch it three or four times, so I don't bother unless someone whose opinion I trust tells me it's too much of a banger to miss. permalink fedilink source parent [–] deft@lemmy.wtf 2 points 10 hours ago Classic .ml user.
