You mean a fox-eared asshole?

Ooh, looks exciting! Thanks!

…maybe? 🤷

English. I have ADHD and reading the same words that I’m hearing helps me not get distracted and miss stuff, whereas even small mistranslations into another language I understand is itself a distraction…

That’s your answer to everything!

That’s an actor in the show, not me 😄

I believe you’re absolutely right.

Max. They have some truly great content (along with a lot of bad, but whatevs), but they’re REALLY bad at every other part of the whole streaming service thing:

Their player sucks, their selection of sub languages seems more or less random at times, their CC subs are so badly formatted and synced that they’re literally worse than useless, and they keep recommending I watch the Bill Maher excrement every time I finish watching the latest episode of the excellent Last Week Tonight, with no option to block his smug face from my UI in any way.

Isn’t it enough that you swindle the people of Czechia, you have to individually mock them? 😉

Speaking as someone culturally obligated to make fun of Sweden and Swedes? Sure!

Speaking in any other capacity, though? Not quite 😄

True.

That’s a pirate on the deck of a ship but yeah, if someone on Our Flag Means Death starts playing everyone’s favorite party song, I’m gonna want subs for that too 😄

Yeah, when downloading or streaming unofficially, I always look for the torrent or streaming site that has subs when possible.

Just pretty damn annoying that a supposedly professional streaming site that charges a subscription fee won’t even provide same-language subs for some of the shows!

And don’t even get me started about how often the hypersmug face of Bill Maher shows up in their recommendations with no “don’t show again” option🤦

It’s less impressive than it sounds, since it’s the Scandinavian ones (Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish) , which are very similar to each other lol.

Other than that, im fluent in English, understand a good deal German (especially written, when given ample time), and remember a little bit of Spanish from school heh.

I read 3 of the available languages fluently, that’s not the issue.

The issue is that I’m not fluent in not missing things and having the exact spoken words to read as I hear them helps my ADHD-riddled mind immensely.

Usually not but sometimes yeah. Trouble is that, even IF English (CC) had been available, the format and sync alone of Max closed captioning is so bad that It’s literally worse than useless.

I’ll probably see if I can’t find the show with English subs on less official channels, once I’m not too busy complaining about Max sucking to watch lol

As a Dane, I apologize for the stinging accuracy of my offensive stereotyping 😄

Would understand what everyone’s saying just fine, but would still be distracted by every minor mistranslation lol

Yes, a new way to be distracted, frustrated, and utterly mystified.

If I wanted that, I’d just watch the news in my own native language or English 🤷
