Yeah...GrubHub is so fucking expensive that I'm surprised they're still in business.

Ooh yeah I've heard people speak highly of The Orville, and I keep forgetting to check it out! If I'm not mistaken, it's got Penny Johnson (Kasidy Yates) in it, right?

Ugh... I've been so reticent to watch modern Trek. I've heard such bad things about Discovery and have never been tempted to try it. But I really love the TNG era, so I gave in and watched Picard season 1...man, that was a mistake. Too modern, too snarky, too fucking meta. I swore off modern Trek. But then I read loads of threads saying that SNW was a return to form, and that it felt the most like Star Trek out of all the modern series. So even though I knew I might hate it, yesterday I watched the first three episodes. I'm already so annoyed with it. Super meta, the cast is for the most part way too young, and it's loose or completely disregarding toward canon (yeah, Spock and T'Pring having sex without Pon Farr... give me a break!), and plotlines that make no sense at all. I'm so annoyed with it. I get that '80s/'90s TV was too earnest for today's audiences, but SNW feels like a parody of Star Trek, not a worthy successor. So far, nothing feels like actual high stakes. There really isn't serious drama that I actually care about. When shows are too snarky and meta, it makes it really hard for me to connect with them.

I do recognize that first seasons can be rocky, so I'll at least stick with it through the end of the season. But I can't lie, it's off to a terrible start. I wish we could have shows more in keeping with the tone and themes of TNG and DS9 (or even Voyager!).

I'm from New Jersey and have never heard anyone unironically say "youse guys". Side note we also don't call it "Joisey".

Maybe you shouldn't be seafood if you don't want to be eaten by cats. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Redbud. It's got such pretty blossoms and the leaves are a really pleasing shape.

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.

 

 

 

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 G💚 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!
