    I'm going to open up a discussion about how people actually live with Boundaries. This isn't a place to be judgemental about other people's choices, we all rationalize things, and make the best we can out of difficult circumstances.

    Many of you know I care for my mother who is paraplegic, the level of care my husband and I give her is on the high end, it would be incredibly difficult for one person to do everything that would need to be done. This might sound ugly, but my mother was not a good mother, she frantically switched back and forth between helicopter parenting and outright neglect. She also doesn't think she has issues, and would never go to any therapy that wasn't "Christian" or take any kind of medication for mental health. I spent my childhood caring for her, my father and my siblings, and I still care for her. Understandably, people ask why, and it's a hard thing for me to answer. I do try very hard to set Boundaries with her now, but it probably isn't enough all the time, burn out is high for caregivers in the best of situations, and I can't pretend this is that. It feels like most of us compromise on something, especially with family.

    So, what are your experiences with this kind of thing? What do you rationalize? What have you learned?
    This is more about sharing personal experiences than to preach at people about their choices, so please keep that in mind when you reply.

    @RickiTarr My partner and I will attempt to reason with family, and continue if they respect clear boundaries and are open to reforming their reprehensible beliefs. If not, we make no effort to stay in contact, only seeing them at large gatherings. We also go ‘no contact’ with abusers.

    @Raccoon Why is Threads exempt from your long list of instances suspended for breaking techhub rules 2, 3, and 5?
    The only difference between Threads and, say, skinheads dot social is plausible deniability.

    @Vorsos@beige.party avatar

    @Raccoon A good litmus test for this is if you would suspend a small instance where right-wing hate groups PragerU, Libs of TikTok, and Moms4Liberty are welcome.

    WelshPixie failed that test when she effectively said (paraphrasing), “We protect dot art users from harmful servers, except the large ones because reaching customers is more important.”

    When you discuss Apple® on the Fediverse, be mindful that most of us are here on an unbranded Android with homemade firmware, a Gateway 2000 full of cigarette ash, or a laptop triple-booting different versions of Kodachi and whose keyboard layout is ‘mostly missing.’

    But if YouTube shuts down, where will I find official film trailers below six copies of them on accounts named like Joe Blow Movies?

    Where else will a sophisticated surveillance algorithm suggest reaction videos and incels talking over video games, two categories I wouldn’t watch at gunpoint?

    A letterboxd review of Star Trek: Into Darkness (deleted by author)

    “JJ Abrams isn't a man so much as an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it down to nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.”

    EVERY single USB-C cable should have the USB type and bandwidth printed on the cable.

    Like this one (see pic).

    I'd also vote for some sort of "raised dot" standard for visually impaired folks.

    @davemark This is great! There is also room for improvement. Vital stats are power delivery and data speed, yet “3.0” tells me nothing.

    USB-C cables labeled like “100W, 10GB” would be perfect.

    Nicolas Cage should win an award for starring in the most films as the titular Man:
    The Family Man
    The Weather Man
    The Wicker Man

    Honorable mentions:
    The Boy in Blue (he is the titular Boy)

    Ensemble mentions:
    Matchstick Men
    USS Indianapolis - Men of Courage

    Not counted:
    The Humanity Bureau
