        You shouldn’t have to, I totally agree there. “Papers please” sounds very facist, in the real non-exaggerated sense.

        Coincidentally, I do carry my US passport card with me everywhere. It’s only good for overland travel to Mexico and Canada (you still need the full passport for international flights) but it’s a “Real ID” and proves my citizenship.

      Is she an American citizen who can vote?

      Or did somebody just hang about outside the conference centre offering $50 to any foreign looking people to get up on stage and spout a load of bullshit?

      It’s also possible she’s talking about family members who are documented immigrants but not citizens.

      Most people don’t actually think. Most people have feelings that they justify.

      Thinking is actually incredibly hard. It requires that you admit you’re wrong sometimes. Justifying your existing feelings doesn’t require that of you.

        I have two friends that said they used to listen to NPR but not as much “since they got all political” - meaning calling Trump’s lies what they are, lies. In fact they’re pretty soft on Trump compared to some outlets. It’s frustrating.

            Yeah but back to my original question, what does “being political” really mean here? Because we’ve established that this is all inherently political and there’s really no way to not be political in this context.

            The way she uses it and the way you are using it implies that “being political” is just another way of saying someone is being dissonant, controversial, or are otherwise out of line in a political context. Which I think is harmful and the reason American politics is so fucked. So many of us are uncomfortable with opposing viewpoints and we’d rather not talk about it so we bestow the black mark of “being political” upon those who deviate from the tribal consensus.

              Yep, that’s it. You and me view “being political” as the definition of “anything that relates to politics”. These other deranged people just think that anything not agreeing to their politics is “being political”.

        Wouldn’t it stand to argue that almost anything to do with Trump is political considering he’s the president and the context here is Trump breaking promises made during a political campaign to persuade people to vote for him in a political election?

        I’m being a bit pedantic here. It’s clear what she meant was closer to, “Here’s my controversial take, don’t come after me”. But suggesting that you’re not being political in an inherently political matter just goes to show how little these people actually think critically.

      It’s a built in CapCut captioning effect widely used by video editors on TikTok.

      Speed reader applications have demonstrably proven that people can process word sequences MUCH quicker when you show sentences to them this way.

      You can be annoyed by the style and how obtuse it looks in scale relation to the actual video content, but utility-wise, it’s objectively the “easiest to digest” way to display subtitles / captions.

      As someone with a hearing disability, it really irks me every time I see this comment. This style of captioning helps me understand the pacing of the dialog, something that normal subtitles cannot do, forcing me to attempt to read lips and the captions at the same time. I much prefer to just have my subtitles pop up one word at a time like this.

      I’m afraid that if people keep complaining about them, they will eventually go away. Please stop with your crusade against something that legitimately helps people with disabilities. It’s incredibly selfish.

        I’m not going to argue with you. If this genuinely helps you, cool. I will say I’m not on a “crusade”. I initially watched the clip without audio and simply couldn’t keep up, where I would have easily done so with more traditional subtitles.

        Out of curiosity, would you want to watch a longer form video like this? It doesn’t really seem to leave much opportunity to look at anything other than the flashing words.

          For anyone else whom speed reading suddenly came to mind, to enhance your subtitle reading skills :u

          It’s relevant because the key to speed reading is not recognizing the shape of each word at a time faster, but reading words in larger and larger groups at a time faster. You know that voice inside your head reading the words aloud? Soon, you just stop hearing it. Then you realize speed reading was a skill of speed comprehension the whole time.

          I’m in the “one. Word. At. A. Time. In. Rapidfire. Even. If. Someone’s. Speaking. Them. At. One. Point. Seventy. Five. Ex. Speed. Sucks. Ass.” camp because, same, it distracts me from the rest of the screen, sometimes from the content. I can totally listen to a longform video at that speech pace, but if I had to watch. Subtitles. One. Word. At. A. Time, I’d claw my eyes out.

          This method of reading is used, in my limited experience with it, with like plugins for a web browser or eReader.

          I found it annoying at first but with a little practice I was reading like double my normal speed, which was already very fast. It felt at times like I was downloading information right into my brain. I played with it for a couple of months a while back but ultimately it just wasn’t practical.

          At least when I’m reading things relevant to my field, I’m able to skip over large chunks of the written material because a lot of what’s there is explanations or history with which I’m already familiar.

          Plus, it stripped away all of the headings and and other text formating. I suppose it would have been better suited to like a novel, but I was reading legal decisions and scholarship.

          I don’t have any hearing impairments but just prefer to have my devices muted at all times. I find this style of subtitles far easier to read and pace naturally. Rather than being unable to keep up I could read it much faster, even. My limit based on that speed reader site linked in another comment seems to be somewhere between 600 and 700 words per minute.

            this really intrigues me. so you also do this with movies/TV shows?

              Last question first, yes, kind of. I have some degree of misophonia and hate most extraneous noise. This also extends externally perhaps just as a matter of empathy and makes me uncomfortable when making noise. My partner even complains that I move too quietly and startle her quite often.

              To be more specific I prefer my portable devices to be always muted, which is where I consume most short-form content.

              For longer content, like movies and shows, I’ll generally not be consuming that portably. Though I still strongly prefer to wear headphones so that I’m the only person who hears it.

      This is the better way to caption things, actually. It improves both your reading speed and comprehension, especially when it’s something like this where the person is talking quickly. Something about how your brain recognizes words.
