    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.

      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.

              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?

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

                    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?
