If I fought myself the battle would end with a draw. Not because we would knock each other out, but because we would just not fight. too much effort
One thing I Hate about subtitles though is when they don’t use the same script as the actors/voice actors. Even if I get the same information it’s hard to follow along when the subtitle are different from the audio
Reasons I like subtitles:
1. I can see how people’s names and the cities and the countries are spelled.
2. I don’t miss any words, so everything they say makes sense.
3. I get to know what background noises and conversations are.
4. The descriptions of the noises people make are freaking awesome. Ex: splutter, grunt, chuckles.
5. I can see who says what.
6. I don’t have to have the volume super loud so I can hear the dialogue, and I don’t blow my eardrums out because the ambient noises and music is SO FREAKING LOUD.
I freaking love subtitles.
Oh my god, of course you only read Shonen, you half-baked meathead. How about you stop with the manga and pick up some real literacy? Oh wait, a book doesn't have pictures, so I guess it's out of the question for witless photo lovers like yourselves who have no sense of media literacy.
Oh, honestly, how do people like you do it? Just "read" panels of mindless, repetitive, egregious fighting over and over again. I endear your low attention spans. Truly, I do. It must be magical being impressed by the most simplistic forms of idiocy. You people are no better than slug eyed mouth-watering neanderthals.
If by any chance I've changed your miniscule, insignificant curiosity, why not read some Edgar Allan Poe...actually, how about something on your level. Hmmmm, oh, I know! Dr Seuss.

aka possessions which are just possessions, but which have noticeably improved my quality of life: for when people ask you “what do you want for your birthday/Christmas/graduation” and you instantly transform into St Francis and pledge fealty to Lady Poverty because your mind went blank
nice. new. sheets. I cannot emphasize this one enough. if you’re still using the same sheets you had in college, you should probably get new ones. get yourself some 100% bamboo rayon sheets—they’re silky and perfect for summer and great for sensitive skin! or, if you’re cold all the time, flannel sheets!
kitchen knives. or even just one really good kitchen knife.
new curtains—blackout if you are a creature of the night like I am
fleece lined anything, but especially sweatpants and hoodies. wool lined socks are also good. if you don’t have the option of coming home after work and putting on an entire outfit that is loose and fuzzy, you should change that, because you deserve that option.
cookie sheets with a layer of air between the top and the bottom. the bottoms of your cookies will never burn again.
kitchen scale!!! no more leveling off flour with a knife and getting it all over the table!! now all your measuring is just shoveling stuff in and out of bowls like you’re at the beach. baking is both more accurate and also way more fun.
coffee bean grinder. if you want to upgrade your coffee experience, this is a great one-time purchase. just-ground beans have a much better flavor than pre-ground.
CDs!! ask for a gift card and expand your physical music collection! or a collection of the DVDs for your favorite show!

My favorite part about the Mario movie was when he said “It’s Jump-man time” and proceeded to jump all over the place.
