Feel like that hasn't happened in a while.

I miss them deeper-sadness

You do realize the only citation there is radio free Asia right?

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 52 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Oh so you didn't accept sources you don't agree with? Not very dialectical of you

I still routinely conduct ideological tests on Hexbear though.

I'll take the contrary position, I find reading a dozen dunks of ppb and other derivative roasts cringe. Feels like the "two minute hate". Yeah yeah I know. I just don't like being mean.

The gap in understanding was really something to behold, like being Dracula and every once in a while some villager shows up with a wooden crucifix and some prayed-over creek water, thinking they're gonna be the one to banish the monster.

Actually you tankies are more like voldemort and I'm the legendary guy with the scar who's here to maintain the status quo

We know that JK Rowling didn’t originally intend Harry to be a cop because if she had she would have named him Thumble Wifebeater

Honestly I almost feel like we should loosen the mod policy to let some back in. It was a good bonding exercise for us, I felt like we all got along better when we had Libs to dunk on.

You can just go outside of hexbear to lemmy dot ml and get the same thing.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

it’s not as fun when you’re trying to make it happen on purpose imo marisad

yeah but i cant go there with my @hexbear.net username so that they all tremble in indignation

[–] trinicorn@hexbear.net 20 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

you can! lemmy.ml is run by commies who are just less strict moderators than we are, so they're still federated. Just turn your front page on here to "All" instead of "Local" or subscribed

Do you think the name evilHexbeardotnetALT@[x] will get approved if one tries?

  1. I'm very non-confrontational IRL

  2. There's actual consequences for this behavior IRL, like losing friends, jobs, getting the cops called on you

If everybody gets paid the same, what's the incentive to be a doctor?

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 44 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

I literally overheard some chud on a train argue that point with a friend, and used that to conclude that that's why communism will never work. If everyone gets paid the same, then what's the challenge??? peppino-scream

He reminded me of that 20th century banker in the TNG episode "The Neutral Zone", who wakes up in the 24th century after being thawed from his cryogenic state, and then asks Picard what even the point of living is in that century if material needs no longer exist, and people's want for riches and possessions is no longer a thing. Picard skillfully schools his ass. picard-annoyed

Me: what's the point of being alive if i have to constantly be looking for more income to survive

That fucking guy: what

[–] axont@hexbear.net 22 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

that character is mentioned somewhere in like a star trek comic or novel or something. Turns out he defected to the Ferengi lmao

Idk, Cuba seems to pull it off.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 36 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah by forcing people to become doctors at gunpoint. Slave doctors are still slaves

[–] DinosaurThussy@hexbear.net 29 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I would have thought this was too hamfisted if I hadn’t heard Rand Paul say it almost verbatim

[–] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 22 points 12 hours ago

Anime tells me a slave doctor would be metal asf tho

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 41 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Me too, dunking is fun. We ban them too quickly now and also everyone knows to stay away from us by now

[–] gramxi@hexbear.net 29 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

now they just make up shit about us to get mad in their defederated instances

I kinda miss it too. It always amused me to see them come in here with a smug attitude to own the tankies, and then get dunked on relentlessly. But maybe it's just me and my frustration at the state of things in the West which causes me get some sort of gratification from it.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 32 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I could take a shift as the lib

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 20 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Thanks, I really needed a break

[–] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 23 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Maybe we should have one bit account that just posts lib takes in every thread, that'd be fun.

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Neera Tanden was already banned

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 13 points 11 hours ago

Did they get banned? I knew it had been a while since I'd last seen them. I just figured they were busy trying to coup Iran.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 22 points 13 hours ago

We already do it's

[–] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 13 points 12 hours ago

Like the beauocracy but intentionally bad? Maybe that's the part that bit was missing

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 19 points 13 hours ago

I feel like I'm going to have to edit a /s into all these posts for the next time someone goes through my post history

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 0 points 5 hours ago (10 children)

Yeah people gave up trying to convince y'all that genocide is still bad when China does it.
