I'd never considered this before, but the flexiblity that you get from ambivalence is almost like a social superpower - that's really cool!

There are certain toasters I'd love to take a bath with...Number Three in particular.

I'm American and I haven't given a penny to my folks. If they needed financial help, of course I'd help them out, but they don't need my money. By the same token, I've told them several times that I don't want an inheritance. I'd rather they enjoy their money while they're alive.

Speaking as someone in the upper middle class and barring any catastrophe, I think it's poor planning on the parents' part to have to be reliant on financial support from their adult child. I understand it's not that way for everyone, but in our case, my parents worked for the State. They had good benefits including a very generous pension, plus they both receive social security. If they needed my help financially it would mean they'd been really irresponsible with their money.

I do help them in other ways - e.g., moving heavy furniture that they can no longer lift, or being there to help my mom when my dad had surgery. They know that I'm there if they need me. Maybe in our case that's what matters more than giving them actual money.

I am a pacifist. I would not punch anybody unprovoked. Provocation would mean a situation in which I have to physically protect myself or someone else.

I don't know if this is true but I've read that, in their fountain sodas, McDonald's uses like 15% more flavoring syrup than what's recommended, so the sodas taste extra good

Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?

Edit: solved by user merde alors:

did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.

The Visitor (startrek.website)

I recently had surgery and while I recover, I've been doing a DS9 rewatch. I just watched The Visitor and I swear, no matter how many times I see this episode, it's always a gut punch. What a beautiful, sad story. Is it even possible to watch it without crying? I almost skipped it because I didn't want to cry today :'(

A few weeks ago I posted that my greyhound Greta was in the hospital, and so many of you left such nice comments and well wishes - thank you! She's been back home for a couple weeks now and is doing great.

Here she is with her latest bandage (featuring a G๐Ÿ’š decoration because my vet's office is the best!):

Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?

Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven't voted. Often if I'm reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can't remember if I've voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!

My little old lady is in the doggo hospital right now (she will be fine) and I miss her and her sweet lil pointy face.

Please share pics of your dogs to cheer me up, especially if there are any grey owners here!

I've always had pretty nice, low-maintenance skin but now that I'm in my forties I find it needs extra attention. One thing I'd really like to improve is getting the glassy look. It seems like most women who achieve this are pretty young and/or on tret. I don't want to try tret because I'm very pale and already sun-sensitive. (At this point I've lost count of how many atypical things my dermatologist has lopped off, despite religiously using mineral sunscreen!)

My current skincare routine is here. It's definitely made a difference for me but I'm looking to refine it.

What can I tweak to get glass skin? Or is it even possible at my age without tret?
