Most of the time is great, but there's hive mind here too. If you're against running closed captions on your TV for example. That was the most recent I got bombed for, but there have been other times.
Most of the time it's more adult, but sometimes it's just like Reddit.
Now I'm curious, can I see this example? I'm having a hard time believing people were "bombing" you for not liking closed captions if you're talking about watching things on your own.
Edit: nevermind I found it.
You basically said you won't turn captions on when you have guests over that need them because it ruins your enjoyment.
That's not a hive mind, bud. That's just normal people reacting normally. Denying an accessibility feature to people who need it because it annoys you is just being a jerk.
That is not at all what I said. I only spoke about my one relative who is pro-caption (the entire time). When they come over (not disabled in any way whatsoever), they feel the need to turn on the CC themselves or ask for it so we can somehow be enlightened after the 20th time of them attempting to convert us.
If I had/have anyone remotely disabled come over, I make every effort to ensure they have a comfortable stay.
Perhaps I could have worded it differently. I edited it for clarity, not that it really matters.
Try being supportive of Israel if you want a Really Good Time. jesus.
At least a bad votes/karma count doesn't mean that you loose rights/access to stuff, though you can still get banned.
I held back some opinions on Reddit, as the hive mind would have disagreed and thereby hurting my ability to post on other, unrelated, subreddits.
But yes, the hive ind is alive here too.
I love my closed captions but I'm also making everyone else deaf without them so I would never hate in not using them that's just silly lol.
