Okay, thank you for mentioning that. I was unaware he was from Puerto Rico.

Honestly, depending on your ethnicity or where you live, touring as a musician in the U.S. these days seems difficult because of that for you and your fans. I don’t get why anyone overseas would want to tour in the U.S. right now.

Is the shooter a person of color? Seriously, ask yourself that. Likely that is the citing factor for someone coming up with fucking bullshit like this. When the shooter is white, the defenders of gun rights will point to mental health. The point I am making is that POC will be a used as a scapegoat to upturn causes in society for their actions while a white person is largely upheld by gun rights advocates as a sign of failure to address mental health.

Then logically one could infer that they would rather die than prevent the senseless violence.

EDIT: I’m not advocating for anyone’s death or praising what occurred. I just wanted to point to how moronic his stance was. Why would anyone say any death from gun violence is okay?

My mind immediately went there.

I had shepards pie at a pub once. Full disclosure I was 13 years old (traveling with family). I thought it was okay as I recall. That’s British, right?

I recently went to a private lake, in a Northern California city. I won’t bother saying where since most would not know of the area. Anyways, the lake is not very large. However being Labor Day weekend, lots of families were present. One man decided to play reggae on a speaker fairly loud and shout some obscenities a lot.

Apparently someone parked a car next to theirs and they thought it was too close. The other driver didn’t want to do anything. So each time he and his family walked passed him he would yell about how “fucking awesome” it was to be at the lake and tell that other man obscenely to go back to The Bay Area. It got bad enough that my mom called sheriffs and other people had complained too. The sheriff came and talked to him. He spent the rest of the time on an inflatable raft just drifting on the water.

Overheard some kids and it sounded like the man had done similar the day before.

EDIT: It wasn’t interesting. Simply a public nuisance.

But Trump said recently that Israel has lost control of Congress.

How long till they start legally labeling all trans people as “mentally deficient” or declare them all no longer citizens just to bar them from having guns?

It was pretty obvious from the beginning there would be Metrons.

I guess The Smashing Pumpkins being my favorite band, has skewed my perspective. I’ve always felt that song was ironically upbeat for their style.

 

I had a previously uploaded a similar meme but I noticed an error and decided to change it completely.

Image zooming issue (startrek.website)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by hopesdead@startrek.website to c/voyagerapp@lemmy.world
 

Hello. I’ve encountered an issue relating to zooming with images at random a few times within the last month. When attempting to zoom, at random the tap field will continue to zoom (even the pinch and pull gesture affects this) until the image has reached a maximum zoom. At this point the image will resize itself to the normal size or do nothing. Whenever this occurs, no other controls work. Only way to stop the behavior is force quoting the app.

EDIT: iPhone 13

How much does it pay? (startrek.website)

I am looking for suggestions on how to tackle a large reading list (currently at 556). A big part (maybe smaller than I think) is a collection of Ann Rule, Stephen King and Star Trek novels (currently just the Pocket TOS and movie novelizations). The way I go about things is to just read whatever I am in the mood for. Makes it hard for me to keep a consistent reading progression. I do read by publication date.

I want to hear how others pick what to read. My current idea is to take a chunk of one selection and alternate with others in between.

 

On version 1.3.3, when adding an image to a comment without any existing text, the app crashes. If text is placed in the comment field, image being added will upload successfully with no crash.

 

Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.
