What's your favorite ice cream or frozen treat?

TLB73,

@RickiTarr
Ice cram is a rare treat, but I really like a Wall's Feast.

Tried to capture the sunset, the moon came out from behind the clouds too 🙂

The same time of day, just pointing towards the evening sun that has disappeared over the hill, you can see the edge of a wood in the distance, with a rooftop and TV aerials all silhouetted by the fading sunset.

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.

TLB73,

@RickiTarr
OK
T.I.L. moment for me there Ricki.
As for me I didn't see things panning out the way they have.
I'm and haven't seen eye to eye with mum since about 1987.
I've been back home since '17 and she has since become a little frail, she had a few close calls already with the ticker and stents needed and the lesson today, and indeed tomorrow is patience.

Just to balance things out, tell me an artist, that as far as you know, seems to be a decent person, as well as a great artist!

TLB73,

@RickiTarr

Dolly is an obvious choice.
Because Dolly.

Keith Flint was an amazing human being.
A good bloke anyway, but he'd leave the stage and go to the disabled kids and they'd all get his performance up close and personal.
I always though that was a bit extra, you know?

It's been a minute since I've done a music question, so here goes:

Who is an artist/band that you're annoyed you like?

TLB73,

@RickiTarr
Right?
It's a tricky subject.
Where do we start LOL
Gary Glitter?
I always thought morrisey was a little whiny bitch (thinking about my own standpoint) and can shove those gladioli up his Gary (You see how this works lol)

That sounds like the weather on the other side of town, up in Capel. It's above the white cliffs and one minute it's glorious sunshine, driving by a field.
Half a mile up the road it's lights on, 20mph max and 20 yards visibility.

Yes, a lot of us have said that 's right-wing iteration of "free speech" is specifically free speech for racists, neo-Nazis, terrorists and rapists and, sure, some people have said "you are being hyperbolic," but haha NOPE, turns out that is the company's official policy. Anyway, enjoy your Hitlery replies, your incel stalkers' officially sanctioned dickpics, and being told to "get in the oven" - all hallmarks of a proper, healthy society, according to Elon Musk, a man who publicly validated the white supremacist Great Replacement theory, spiraled into fitful cloistered dementia after being booed at a comedy show, has exactly zero friends and thinks he is a master-race avatar who needs to breed as much as possible for the benefit of humankind even as his current children actively hate him.

I am bothered by the fact that neither the person asking the question or the person answering, understand the true horror of this post.

In my 3 decades on this planet i went from playing games with graphics seen in GTA1 to (within a few) graphics from GTA6

Can’t even imagine what my grandkids will play :blobcatgiggle:

TLB73,

Right, heh.
Space invaders at the local swimming pool cafeteria or probably Pong on the TV before that for me.
😅

TLB73,

@stux
Well I was just thinking You'd have to be more like 70+ to go aaaaallllll the way back, because the first games were vector games, like maybe even the end of the 60's (without looking it up to be sure) ?? *not including text based games

@trumpet Quick query regarding Zuckerberg and Threads 'interoperability' guff. I'm assuming mastodon.scot won't be allowing any 'interoperability'. Can you confirm this please. Thanks.

TLB73,

Good morning.
do threads.net/ search
You'll get a couple of users.
Go to one of their pages and that will let you block the domain. Why bother to wait to find out the inevitable? I've just done it.

Are atoms alive?
If they aren't alive, how do they make up living things?
What happens to my atoms when I die?
Wait, are we just like a the same stuff in different combinations?
How are new atoms created?
Energy isn't made of anything, wtf is that about?

It's like static cling. Attraction and repulsion.
It makes my head hurt trying to explain it. Having said that:

No

See my explanation (lol)

Back to dust, baby!

Er... * I can't answer this as nicely as others in my current state.

Stars go bang

See my explanation, but on a universal scale (ow)

Wow, it looks like virginmedia.ie have completely broken their sign up process.

You select a package and when you hit checkout it says “Please Select Product First” (in an old-school alert of all things).

Capitalists failing at the basics of capitalism. smh
