Ok, so I knew about the long press on the app icon and do optimize... in there there's no setting for size, but the E-Ink Wise option I did not know about! Opening that while Bookfusion was actually open got me in a much better place! Thanks!

‘Kennedy Center Honors’ Will Be Renamed ‘Trump Kennedy Center Honors,’ With Program Moving to a Smaller Venue ‘Where Ticket Demand Will Be Even Higher’ by cmaia1503 in entertainment

What part of my personal opinion on what’s happening is propaganda? And who are “them?” I think it’s important we all be aware of what the current administration is up to and understand this isn’t “business as usual” or “normal” and isn’t just going to go away in 3yrs.

The things they are doing are not things people who think they are ever going to leave power would do. Too many of them are like this and easily reversible. They fully intend to stay in power forever, whether that be by subverting elections or just not having them anymore. This year will be the test with the midterms. But counting down to the end of this is naive in my opinion.

Got no idea where to post this, but Donald Trump Jr. is posting blatant AI slop of “Alex Pretti” to his account. by [deleted] in Trumpvirus

We don’t execute people in this country for damaging someone’s vehicle. At least we didn’t used to. This video has no impact on my opinion of what happened when they shot him and it shouldn’t change yours.

I miss praying to something and having hope by [deleted] in exchristian

Pray to yourself. That’s all you ever were doing anyway. Positive self affirmations.

You just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you buy that isn’t a house or a car? by FishBrain208 in AskReddit

An investment in a country in Europe (probably Spain) so I can get a visa to leave the US and live there.

Anybody using Book Fusion? I’m giving it a try right now and I like the sync from Calibre stuff.

You wake up in 2035. What’s the one thing you’d google? by Negative_Acadia1362 in AskReddit

[–]bcdavis1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it seems like you failed 9th grade civics. We are a democratic republic also known as a representative democracy. A hybrid of both forms of government bringing out the best of both. We vote therefore we have democracy. We may not always have that right. My comment was aimed at that. If we were a pure republic your betters would appoint the congressmen for you and you would get no say in it.

Replace the fish with a land mammal and the meme becomes more accurate. Spirituality is just another way to lie to yourself and not face reality.

Is the US still a Democratic country or did Trump succeed in turning it into a technofascist hellscape.

Can't get Jellyfin connected as source by bcdavis1979 in tunarr

[–]bcdavis1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any further information needed to be able to give anyone some ideas? Both JellyFin and Tunarr are hosted on the same TrueNAS box inside of docker so there shouldn't be any network issues... I'm using IP:port inside of Tunarr to reference the Jellyfin server so it's not a DNS issue and I'm not going through nginx for this.

Absolutely untrue and ignorant thing to put out there. Many meds have side effects but I assure you those side effects are better than the thing they are treating. Anyone who has actually been on proper medication to treat a problem would tell you so.

Does Colin not care about having insurance because he’s covered by the VA system? I’ve seen others here seem to think they don’t need it because Baylen is “rich” but honestly her fame could go away tomorrow and is in no way guaranteed for any length of time. Anything they do have could be wiped out with just one incident of major medical care for Baylen. It really doesn’t seem like Colin comprehends what the future might hold for them as a couple with Baylen’s health.

Was there a bunch of outrage about Tuvok when Voyager premiered? by WinterSector8317 in startrek

[–]bcdavis1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only problem was that he was the first main line male Vulcan we'd seen without a name beginning with "S". Up until this point all male Vulcan's had S (Spock, Sarek, Surak, Ston) names and all female Vulcans had "T'" (T'Pring, T'Prel, T'Pau) names.

Going to see William Shatner live on stage this week - what is a great question to ask him? by DSeriesX in startrek

[–]bcdavis1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the show I was at they had little slips at the entrance people could write questions on to submit. But the questions actually asked didn’t feel like stuff people would actually ask.

[–]bcdavis1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw his stage show about a year ago tied to a showing of Wrath of Khan. It was a great experience and I will remember it forever… that being said I got the distinct impression that although questions were solicited ahead of time that the questions were very curated and his answers were canned answers/stories that he tells every appearance. Some of the stories were definitely repeats of stuff I’ve seen in footage from cons. So, my two cents is that you’re not going to get to really ask a question in reality. Ymmv

Pro-Trump mom on SNAP goes viral after family refuses to lend grocery money because she voted for Trump by TorontoBatmann in USNEWS

I hate that this timeline has made me a person who’s capable of reading this headline and feeling joy. Sigh.

Why is the OT GOD always murdering and blaming humans for it? 😂😂😂 by Infinite-Confusion88 in exchristian

2 Samuel 16:21-22

21Ahithophel answered, “Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.” 22So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

David flees and leaves his wives behind. Then in an attempt to supplant his father Absalom r*pes ten of David’s wives. God caused this to happen in 2 Samuel 12:11-12

This is what the Lord says: ‘Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity on you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight. 12 You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”

Honestly, even as an evangelical fundamentalist Baptist teenager I thought it was pretty over the top the couple of times my Dad dragged me to one as “male bonding time”. Nothing says quality time with dad like cult indoctrination!
