I can’t see movies in theaters anymore bc my hearing loss got bad enough I need closed captioning for everything. Having them available in any language also, that’d be amazing. I can’t think how to do it without like personal goggles or something that privately display them - I’ve had ppl practically curse me out for using closed captioning on a TV. Like it bugs them that much. Like their handicap is focus-related or something, not hearing loss-related

HurricaneLizto Ask Lemmy•Does anyone else feel like fediverse (particulary Lemmy) is getting more and more quieter?7·1 month agoPeople started yelling at each other more than on all the stuff I blocked on reddit, so I only check it every couple weeks now. I check back bc if it ends up 100% negative I’ll delete it from my phone, but I still have hope ppl will be kinder
