We had an Xbox hooked up to a wall mounted TV in our company break room. I used to show up first in the morning and play movies and streams on it for people to breeze by and see throughout the day. I could easily see someone doing this in a game store or gaming cafe.

This is probably the real explanation. I've been in several local small businesses where they're constantly streaming the same TV shows/movies every time I go in there.

Yeah LOTR is great because you’d only need to change the movie twice in a full 8 hour shift (for Netflix standard editions)

My wife puts Harry Potter movies on for background noise. We probably play some of them 100 times per year if not more. We only watch maybe 2% of the time though.

The hero of those movies is a slaveowner

Slaveowners are bad, and movies that glorify them are bad. The movies are bad.

You are obnoxious, and your opinion is the stupidest thing I've heard all week.

Disliking pure fiction is one thing, but whining about it to random people online is borderline batshit insane. Take your meds.

Your response to someone not liking a movie on the internet is to accuse them of and shame them for unmedicated mental illness?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You roughly deserve the same amount of respect you give, so an appropriate retort in line with your tone. From one point of view.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So you think that shaming mental illnesses is an equal amount of respect with supporting the rights of slaves not to have their oppression glorified?

It appears my earlier comments were difficult to understand. I thought I was clear and succinct. Perhaps read them again?

Then again it's unsurprising that you are asking for a verification, given that you felt it necessary in the first place to inject a retarded complaint about a fictional story to a random comment, in shitpost, on Lemmy.

I gather from your use of a slur that I was correct in my assessment that you're ableist and pro-slavery scum.
