If I were a man I'd absolutely love to grow facial hair.

Fake friendliness exists everywhere in the US. It's just our social lubricant. The problem is that Southern fake friendliness is sort of oppressive, they can be kind of pushy. As in you're the rude one if you're not interested in their hospitality or friendliness. As a New Jerseyan, I'd much rather be able to say a polite "no thanks" and have that be respected, which is what you get in the Northeast and in SoCal.

I prefer to be more direct. Not necessarily cold, just forthright. In the South there are all these layers of manners and expectations that can be hard for a Northerner to navigate. I think they often genuinely mean to be nice, but they don't realize how pushy they are.

BTW I don't have any real experience with Midwesterners but from what I understand, they can be similar to Southerners in this regard.

I prefer the Northeastern way to the Southern way, and I think I'd way prefer the German way to the Southern way.

Haha me too! When I was a kid my podiatrist told me it would be good physical therapy for the growing pains I had along with flat feet. Not sure if it worked but it definitely kept me entertained!

I'm the opposite. Petite 5'0" lady who sounds like an entire community of elephants when I walk.

Nope! I've never read/seen Harry Potter (I, too, live under a rock). Beatrix Potter is the English author from the late 1800s who wrote The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, among others. When I was a kid I had a set of her books, and her illustrations (which she herself painted in watercolors) had the whimsical quality that your cross-stitch has. 🦊🧡

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 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!

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?
