      Is this a new thing that people include a CC anti AI license in their posts and comments? Would be pretty cool if it could be integrated in a smoother way as like a post property.

            There’s an outstanding issue with mobile / phone clients where they’re not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly. (I use the Lemmy.World’s web client.)

            You should contact the Thunder client devs and ask them to fix that. You can pass on to them this link which is Lemmy.World’s instructions on how to format text.

        Not Caesar though.

        He was wearing it all the time before he was assassinated as the senate had allowed him to do so. This was after the 5th triumph when they dumped a lot of other titles on him. The picture has the laurels in it, which is also typically just for ceremonies, so he should also be in a purple toga.

              I think he tried using a dictionary or translation tool, and failed to consider that “eunt” is the indicative form of “eō”/“īre” (to go) and not the imperative form. So he’s stating that Romans go home (with extraordinarily poor grammar, mind you), when he probably means to tell Romans to go home (“Romani ite domum!”)

        It’s reasonable to assume that the characters are speaking their native language and it’s being translated for our benefit, but it becomes weird when they use idioms or puns in English that don’t exist in those languages.

          I don’t particularly love them, but subtitles are just part of daily life in any non-English speaking countries given the amount of English speaking media being produced, so most of the world are used to them.
          I think quite a lot of English natives also use subtitles on English media because of sound mixing or sound system issues that make dialogues hard to hear.

          Anyways, it’s just a little jest, if you enjoy this trope, I am happy for you.

          More like because finding english speaking actors is a lot easier in an english speaking country, and also the writer likely doesn’t speak every language that would be relevant. Plenty of countries don’t get dubs of movies or series and people can still understand and enjoy them just fine. Though it probably increases appeal or there just wouldn’t br dubs.

            many people find it difficult to read subtitles fast enough, due to poor eyesight, dyslexia, poor education, developmental issues, the list goes on. its a little ableist to be so pretentious about your preference for subtitles.

            for the record: i personally do not mind subtitles; i just know that there are people less advantaged than me. embrace choice.
