    One bad act will undo years of good will, we see this constantly irl. Why do you think the mods deserve any benefit of the doubt from people when they unilaterally chose to make a bad decision with no input from the community? If the community can’t trust them to act in their best interests, they’re absolutely well within their rights to demand they step down or move to the replacement community. Because of they’re going to do this once, what are the odds they actually learn the correct lesson and don’t do this kind of shit again?





  • And why should I keep a copy if I can just stream it again from the same or some different site for free in the future?

    That’s a big if depending on the media in question, and the effort required to go find it again.

    I’ve had so many instances where a streaming site takes down the movie or show I was planning on watching with one or both of my partners, only to have it not there and either have to waste an hour trying to find it again or figure out something else to watch.

    Spinning rust drives are cheaper than the time I spend looking for something or being annoyed at having my plans derailed. Plus, I’ve used that more than once to make up for streaming site/content missing issues during get together with friends, so it’s more than worth it to me.

    My son (diagnosed with the tsim but too young for his inevitable adhd diagnosis) gets very disregulated after eating items high in sugar or after having too much screen time. No clue why, he just becomes a little asshole and takes his energy out on the people and animals around him. Thankfully the screen time issue has gone down from “any” to more than 20-30 minutes so he can occasionally watch educational kids programming.

    Count yourself lucky you don’t have to deal with that. It’s maddening at the best of times, especially when all the experts we talk to say we’re already doing everything they recommended…
