There's a picture of the mayor being sworn in and another of one of the accused men. The article does not mention the race of the attackers nor how they self-identify.
Just a reminder that regardless of what kbin.social decides, you can block federated domains for yourself. Go to: https://kbin.social/d/domainname
So I just blocked Threads and it was: https://kbin.social/d/threads.net
On the right side, click the "don't" icon (circle with a slash through it). When it's red, that means that domain is blocked.
I haven't yet switched to the Eugene library, because the card for my previous city still works, and, looking at my history, I average 10 a month, so that's a bummer.
Heaven's Vault was fantastic and can be played multiple times to get different versions of the story. It's also on sale right now. What I thought was especially well done is how they tied the narrative to replaying aspect.
Listening to To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf while I do chores. It's literature so I have to listen to it since there's no plot, really, and it's all thoughts inside people's heads, so far all on the same day.
Just finished book 2 in the Seraphina series, Shadow Scale, by Rachel Hartman. I almost didn't finish it because for most of the book the main character didn't have anything going in her favor and the relentless piling on of bad news made me anxious.
I've got to finish the other stories in Stories of Your Life and Others, by Ted Chiang, because I got it to read "Story of Your Life" after reading a thread on Kbin about the movie Arrival (which I had really enjoyed by apparently hadn't understood fully).
TotK. I'm going the maximum exploration route, so I've only gotten the Travel Medallions, Tulin's Sage, and the locator so far. I'm leaving the main story until much later. 135 hours in, though, and only playing an hour or two most days.
We're glad you're here! With the Fediverse there can be many Eugene communities. There's also eugene@lemmy.world. Using tags makes crossposting possible, but it doesn't hurt to subscribe to multiple.
I used to live in a city that uses ranked-choice voting. While I wasn't keen on the person ultimately selected the last time, it took the anxiety away from choosing candidates and I had no trouble accepting the results (disappointing though they were).
I've discovered that my brain will only accept certain content certain ways. If I'm really into a fun book, then text is perfect. If it's any kind of "literature" or non-fiction, I need to listen to it at the fastest setting my brain can absorb (usually 2x speed) while doing things that would otherwise not be fun (unloading the dishwasher, cleaning, doing laundry, whatever). And I pay attention to my emotional reactions to stuff. If something is too heavy to be fun (or to handle in general), I don't make myself go back to it. I evaluate whether I want to continue. I have more than 1,000 books on my Libby wishlist, so I feel no guilt about moving on to the next thing.
Yes, though, thankfully the Fediverse lets us follow communities (magazines) without joining other instances. This community lists other Oregon sublemmies in the profile under the rules. https://kbin.social/m/Eugene
Oh, so auditory hallucinations are not normal, then. Just last night "someone ringing my doorbell" (I don't have a doorbell, which I didn't realize until the morning) made me wake in a panic to cautiously look out my windows to see who might be at my door. And, yes, like others, I often "fall" while falling asleep, and wake up when I "land". "Landing" is usually a full body jerk.
This seriously brought me down the other day when I first read it. I'm glad that BBC is doing this important work, but also, this is so dark my brain just can't go there.
The Orville is closer in spirit and execution to Roddenberry's Star Trek. Post-Roddenberry Star Trek is a different type of entertainment that isn't trying to accomplish the same goals. Applying "good" and "bad" to either is counterproductive and subjective. They serve different purposes and it's fine to like or dislike either.
You use tags. You can see this for yourself if you want to know if a tag will get picked up and where it might either pull from or go to: https://kbin.social/tag/food. This FAQ talks about how tags work.
Sure, this talks briefly about tags. I'm trying to find the guide for new users that was written early this week, but can't at the moment. I believe it talked more about them. When posting on kbin, add tags to the tags field. Try to make them relevant and likely that someone has set their magazine or other instance community to look for it.
Edit: This is also how Related Magazines and Related Threads are pulled into the sidebar within magazines.
Edit 2: There's also /m/gettingstarted but they don't have a ton of stuff there, though they do link to that FAQ above.
Edit 3: To see if a tag will work for your purposes this is the link: https://kbin.social/tag/food where you replace "food" with whatever your tag is. This lets you see where people are posting about that as well as what kind of content will pull into your magazine if you use that tag in your magazine settings.

The forecast changed. No Northern Lights for Oregon.
Apologies. Some federated content comes through with (kbin.social) after the thread title. I'm sure it's one of the bugs Ernest is working on.

Pinky: What are we doing this weekend, Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every weekend...We're going to take over Hyrule!
How on Earth have you done all the temples in only 50 hours?

It seems like a good compromise. Some jobs still exist and those who want to can pump their own.
