I’ll read through those threads sometime. I don’t think I’ll be commenting in that instance though. Maybe I’ll look around for a community that clicks better to interact with. I don’t really have questions off the top of my head, sorry. I don’t know what I don’t know.

“People I don’t agree with are lying in bad faith.”

I have no interest in talking to you.

Ok.

This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)

Hexbear is a community that expects you to conform. Every time there is a post like this, someone comes out of the woodwork and says “They’re nice people if you talk like them and agree with them on everything.” It’s cool that you’re not getting abused, but abuse is coming from that space, whether or not it is happening to you.

It’s a shame because I would like to hear the nuances of their viewpoints, but I can never get them to tell me what they are. Always complaining that nobody tries to understand, but dogpiling on anyone that asks questions. Then they pull up your report history and tell you “It’s just a little dunking bro, stop being a snowflake” for not putting up with it.

Users of Hexbear, if you’re reading these words, do better. Nobody is going to sympathize with your cause if you antagonize outsiders that want to learn more.

I don’t post too much Star Trek but it felt particularly relevant ha.

Dax: Steamed azna would put years on your life.

Sisko: Dax, I don’t want years on my life, if I can only eat steamed azna.

Deep Space 9

Well first I divide the word by Eminem.

I’ll give it a shot, thank you!

I’d suggest starting with a blanket of single crochets to get comfortable with the hook

Do you have a guide to recommend for this? How big of a blanket? What is a “single crochet”?

A relative of mine is a big fan of The Woobles, they got me a panda kit that I really have to start on. But the how-to videos go over every step in detail and are pretty easy to understand.

Toooooo CHALLENGING for ya???

We also have the right to fire you for any reason

And they really do mean any. They just won’t always say the real reason out loud.

Also, furries. They like using the stickers.

My mind played a record scratch at the end. Just why?

Grab your dick and double click!

Yeah, I’m doing my best to learn the concepts but I have a ways to go.

Horseshoe theory strikes again.

The comedian would later go further in taking the piss out of himself, noting that “the funniest way for me to die is if I die from COVID” and reacting to criticism from Prince Harry about his anti-vaccine misinformation. “My first thought was: F—. Did I? I might’ve!” he declared, grinning. “But here’s my take on that, sincerely: If you’re getting your vaccine advice from me, is that really my fault?”

“That’s not my job, kids. I’m a professional s–t-talker, OK?” he offered up in his own defense. “Some of the things I say make sense. A lot of them don’t. It’s up to you to figure out what’s what. That’s the fun part.”

Oh FUCK off. If you didn’t want the responsibility of people listening to what you say, maybe you shouldn’t have a job broadcasting to an audience of millions. He thinks it’s funny that his vaccine conspiracies have almost certainly killed people.

I installed Bazzite earlier this month as a dual boot and have been very happy with it. A lot of stuff just worked on bootup, haven’t installed a single driver, and that’s including my AMD GPU, just installed a game, plugged in my controller, and it played. Most games seem to run better than Windows. Fullscreen mode is a lot less annoying to tab out of - there isn’t the annoying momentary black screen, tab just happens. OBS seems to finally be on the level of Windows performance, although some of my favorite extensions are Windows-only. That’s been something of an annoyance, a lot of stuff is Windows-only, but usually if I Google “[program] Linux” I’ll get a workaround or substitute. I still leave Windows installed because of anti-cheat nonsense, but I rarely boot into Windows anymore.

Kind of meandering but that’s my experience so far. Overall pretty satisfied.
