Just so you know, I used to be an Admin/Overmod of this website. I was part of the initial vanguard that fought the bots. Downvotes were actually ruining the site. You couldn’t use hot or most upvoted to organize because of wrecker bots downvoting all the good stuff while up voting terrible things.

Now if you really dislike something instead of passively downvoting things now you have to communicate. This is bad for wreckers, CHUDs and Fascist cause it means the community can clean out the scum we don’t want here, especially if they are the usual kind who aren’t here to listen.

Gotta educate these youngsters on the history of this site lol.

It’s literally why we ditched the Down vote here on Hexbear. Because bots were down voting everything regardless of content and only up voting the things the bot was programmed to upvote. As such it became impossible to know what real users thought about stuff. By making it upvote only, we thoroughly decreased the amount of rigging outsiders can do to our Hexbear system™.

Soon they’ll get rid of likes all together because “People don’t like edgy comments, which makes it appear like people hate edgy comments, so to encourage edgy comments we are removing usernames, likes, and retweets.”

Basically just a chan board with a better DM system.

Very true, I mostly like it here because Medicaid is easy to get on and it covers a lot of trans healthcare, and other than some randos who look like they walked from Alabama, I don’t feel much transphobia around here.

Ever since the Democrats legalized weed, murder has now become legal too.

Yes.

But the joke in Colorado is that the Colorado River ends at the Bellagio Hotel.

Cool. I did not know this. Thanks for educating.

Like there is some history of what can be called colonization in Finland and Japan, with the Ainu in Japan and Sami people in Finland. But like these places resemble ethnostates based more off of geographic and language isolation.

If Japan spoke English as a second language the same way you see in former British colony states, you can bet your ass that island would be full of immigrants and non-japanese people.

But it’s an island with a language that is really hard for Westerners to learn.

Finland is a snowy wasteland most the year, so yeah not a lot of people want to live there, so only the people who have always lived there live there. Finnish is also a hard language for not Scandinavians to learn.

The other countries are just absolutely pulled out his ass, I think, but again are probably more ethnostate like due to geographic issues and not because some people started colonizing it in the last century and kicked out the modern native population that was living there forever

This is basically the Microsoft Strategy™.

They buy out smaller tech companies, squeeze them dry and then close them down.

This is like what the 15th game studio they’ve done this to since Rareware in the mid 2000s?

We need to define being so caught up in a sunk cost that you refuse to leave it despite all evidence, as a mental illness on par with extreme learning disabilities.

It can be hard to clean out and in outdoor long-term environments it can cause your tent to start to mold.

In my case it was trolling a troll by basically copying what he said but aiming it at him.

I got banned the original troll I was copying did not.

It’s part of why I stopped doing it. My mental health was flowing down the drain and it wasn’t worth holding on to something that was bringing me pain.

And despite coming out trans like within the year of me leaving, I still occasionally see stuff about what a huge Transphobe I am, because I one time made a typo that accidentally misgendered someone once.

Oh jeez, I wonder if it has anything to do with modern society making life as hellish as possible but then telling you there is no way for it to get better unless more Hell is unleashed upon everyone, possibly for the rest of your life?

Maybe being aware of how big the world is and being forced to only live the tiniest part of it due to artificially placed barriers on anyone making under 60k a year is an never ending existential crisis?

It can’t be that the culture that demands you give up everything and then gives you a bunch rhetorical guns and says “The Culture War is the only place you can fight for a better future, but only selected topics we give you.”

Strange how doing more of the same Bullshit behaviours we’ve been doing since the 1970 is making people off themselves at a faster rate than thought possible, can’t be that we refuse to change anything ever.

You’re right, I always forget that part of Texas was transplanted and dumped south of Denver.

It basically the “The state of Oklahoma and Nebraska can’t eliminate weed, when Colorado legalized it!” All over again. It’s always states right until a state does something they don’t like. I’m over this state shit and either everything needs to federalize under uniform rules coast to coast or we need to Balkanize and states that want to be shit holes can do that, without hurting places that don’t want to be shit holes.

In the words of the Poet known at the time as Johnny Hobo:

Class traitor? What fucking ever. I’m just another middle class kid, too. But if things ain’t gonna change, I’m good at self-loathing. So I’ll Class Hate myself with you.

HOW DID I NEVER CONSIDER PISS!?
