I do and I agree. We are part of a too small audience. The consequence is a poorly informed public that cannot make intelligent decisions on important issues.

How about some nuance. Too much candy will make you sick. Too much “gloom and doom” will leave you depressed. It would be nice to have some balance; but I fear the scale is heavily weighted to “if it bleeds, it leads”. Personal responsibility solves the problem, at least on the individual level. Be selective and patronize media that has ethical standards.

I am offended when a statement is based on on inaccurate assumptions, unsupported by facts, and directly related to racial stereotypes. What else should I assume when the only way I could interpret your displeasure was that the news was suppressing information regarding crimes committed by minorities? If a policeman works an area predominantly occupied by minorities he is likely to assume, as I gather you did, that most crimes throughout the city should be blamed on those minorities.

Based on the 2018 NCVS and UCR, black people accounted for 29% of violent-crime offenders and 35% of violent-crime offenders in incidents reported to police, compared to 33% of all persons arrested for violent crimes (table 2).

I tried to be conservative with my number because some studies are limited to specific urban areas and/or confuse the issue by listing arrests which are always skewed to the detriment of minorities.

Facts without context have no meaning. Despite your veiled racist inference, fewer than 40% of violent crimes are committed by minorities. While this is proportionately well in excess of the size of the population these minorities represent, it is nowhere near a majority; and does not suggest that the crimes are evenly distributed throughout a city. So, try to stay away from areas where crimes are rampant; and do not blame every member of a minority for whatever biases you may have.
By featuring stories that chronicle the worst of humanity, that appeal to our most base interests and basic fears, that serve only to maximize views and profits, the media has created, with the help of politicians, a distorted view of what most Americans experience.
We still have freedom of the press, and the facts are reported… sometimes along with blatant lies. Never overestimate the interest or capacity of most people to find sources with a history of reliability or to their satisfy their unconscious desire to reinforce their preformed opinions.

So, all you have posted . . . You were FORCED to read this sort of crap, apparently for some of you with great detail retention?

Two separate issues. The OP failed to realize that Lightroom Classic can do exactly what he desires; and that he would consider alternate software. Responding to either option was appropriate. Personally, I REALLY LIKE my Adobe subscription; but I would add that it is my responsibility to stay abreast of new developments that expand its and my capabilities. Learning a new product is often fraught with frustrations. I recommend staying with software that you like until or unless it cannot do what you want.

And you should be able to print directly from the program as well as add copyright information. A quick Google search will provide instructions.

Why not try reinstalling Lightroom? This won’t affect your catalogue; and if the photos are not corrupted and viewable from a different browser it seems to be Lightroom is screwed up.

Grandma is delusional. Some of the technological break troughs were tore but available before age was born. And her views on morality and manners are largely wishful thinking.

Loved them. Now for a story I created about why New York City is called the “Big Apple”. The reputed explanation is that it came from jazz musicians during the 1930s because they referred to every city they had a gig in as the Apple and New York was by default the Big Apple.
I prefer to believe that the phrase had a little to do with music and much more to do with the fact that during the Great Depression many people had to resort to selling apples from street carts to earn any sort of living.

Am I supposed to believe that Zelensky is the dictator who is attempting to “N**ify” the Ukraine, or should I believe my lying eyes and the western press that has brought Russian atrocities to light?
I believe in nuance; but the Russian arguments justifying their invasion, or repatriation. As they might prefer to call it, doesn’t stand up to analysis.

Excuse me! Where are you getting your news?

Terrific talent. I hope to hear more from him.

Three whole months . . . To learn a skill that takes years to master?

It’s “Hollywood” which thrives on fantasy. Part acting, part breaking up a scene into numerous retakes, and part technology that can make anyone into a on key singer. It may be done well and become believable; but it is not real.
