Ouais

How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? in c/[email protected]

Ouais is more like 'yeah', not 'yes'.

Nope. I started but didn't finish a PhD in physics, and only needed a Bachelor's to get into the program. You automatically earn the Master's along the way in some programs, usually after you pass the qual.

No, they both voted for Harris.

The thing is, my in-laws have plenty of money in the bank, plus two adult children who are very successful and would help them out if needed, no questions asked. It's not entirely rational - I think it's the uncertainty more than anything that has them scared. Which really sucks. :(

Kennett Square isn't exactly rural. It's near rural stuff but could arguably be considered an exurb of Philly, and there's quite a lot of wealth nearby. Around the election I saw about even amounts of Trump and Kamala signs.

Gardening, weightlifting, makeup, swimming, colored pencils, healthy cooking, nail polish, kayaking, reading, brushing up on my French, practicing my guitar.

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about many Americans constantly calling people "black" and "white" and making such a big thing about it? in c/[email protected]

It's really sad - my in-laws are in their mid-to-late 70s and are currently applying to jobs because they're convinced that Social Security will go away. I hate to see older folks so scared by this lunacy.

[Fixed] Are gifs broken? (lemmy.world)

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 :'(

Update on my favorite lady 💚 (startrek.website)
 

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!):

Decrease swipe sensitivity, and add vote coloration? (startrek.website)
 

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!
