Clearly it’s one point three-twenty em-bee.

Nyaa.si still up, all is well

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, AKA “Might as well try my best in case I’m wrong and we manage to pull it off”.

Checks COVID wastewater levels

And looks like we’re going into 46 in a few weeks.

I desire the end of America and indeed all capitalist states, ideally before they slide even further into fascism in the near future. Death to the Israeli state, and death to any states that support it.

Beans is one thing, but cold beans??? That’s a step too far, I now uncritically support Xi.

/tg/ maintains the best pirated TTRPG repositories as far as I’m aware, so there are at least two good things.

85GB is actually shockingly huge for Counter-Strike considering CS:GO was like 16GB. For comparison, Doom Eternal is 80GB, Cyberpunk is 70, and Elden Ring and Armored Core VI are both 60.

The sound card’s just recommended though so whatever.

I just pirate everything because it’s easier.

July 26th 2020, a day that will live on in infamy as the first day of Hexbear.

You can always just pirate and have a copy of it stored locally.

The Foundation TV series. No, it’s not a movie, but it’s so bad I feel it should count anyway.

One struggle

Also arrested trade union leaders and got into it with a teacher’s union. I obviously support Sankara, and like you say he’s really not different from any other communist leaders except that he was assassinated and his work undone.

You’re thinking of wage theft. “Time theft” is when you slack off on the job.

Early in the history of the site, some bigots were finding trans users and then downvoting all of their posts and comments. The admins confirmed this, and went through and banned the offending accounts, but they just made alts, so the permanent solution was to eliminate the downvotes. Our moderation is so strict that bad faith arguing is banned on sight.

Also we’re not as scary as all the libs would have you think. We’re just, again, extremely online, generally confrontational, and have political views outside the norm. All this adds together to make us abrasive when we have to explain something that’s taken for granted on our instance for the 50th time.

I knew they were supposedly the successor party to the ruling party of the GDR so of course they were beaten down and became moderates.

Honestly it sounds about right. Prior to federation our news megathreads occasionally broke 1k comments over a week, and that’s only a small subset of the userbase. Hexbear users have cultivated a culture that encourages being more online, and we were already extremely online. No downvotes, for instance, means that if you disagree with someone you have to comment, and we obviously disagree with the political opinions held by the majority of people so there’s quite a bit there. Also worth noting that if an admin/mod expressly calls for us not to comment on a post, as was the case on the second defederation discussion post on blahaj, we won’t.

For what it’s worth hexbear wouldn’t have federated with them anyway because the site is staunchly against hosting NSFW content.

What’s up with Linke? Anything particularly spicy?
