On this week this niche leftist forum was first launched (its was the 24th or 25th i think) Formed from the Chapotraphouse subreddit remnants that survived the reddit ban over the calls of violence against confederate slave owners, the first admins decided to use Lemmy as its base. Originally called Chapo.chat (ChaCha) Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.

In this last 5 years hexbear has survived many diffent events from numerous struggle sessions, mod clique-users conflicts, wrecker incursions from other instances and sites, this image dprk-soldier, a decent amount of fedidrama with other instances and the domain crisis, we still thrive with over 5 million comments and 375k posts.

I still continue my dictatorial rule over the general megathread for now over 4 years now, this time locked in the chapo comm so it can be more easily moderated, c/indigenous has now grown to 750 subs which im very happy plus now i take care of the empoc mega which has been pretty chill so far.

I still really enjoy the fedidrama, it fun to see all the fedilibs always thinking about hexbear despide the fact that they are on defederated instances and they can ust ignore us, we live rent free on their minds

Was pointing out some flowers to my niece and I'm like 'that's a wattle' and she was like 'waddle like a penguin?'. Eh, close enough penguin-dance

I've gone this long pretending to know what a hot couch guy is but I guess I have to learn since I've seen it 3 times just today

When you think about it wokeness is kind of a religion, so I'm demanding religious protection and the same preferential treatment Christians get.

If you think about artificial intelligence enough, you’ll quickly realize how “artificial” just means stolen lmao how foolish of me to assume a journalist somewhere would bring this up though

Tech oligarchs literally just dumped all the data on the internet into their models for fucking free. Idk why I’m surprised, of course that shit was going to happen under capitalism

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m sure Marx mentioned something about it, but from my pov, the us empire and economy aren’t “dying” but moreso “retiring”.

The American capitalist has a clear aversion to hiring anyone at all, they don’t want to invest even a penny into expanding their businesses. You can’t get hired because employers are more hire-shy than ever, all the assets are being sold off despite its clear benefit to the economy because the ruling class somehow doesn’t even think it needs its capital anymore.

There’s record high demand for everything, and the ruling class is too weak-willed to roll up its sleeve and quintuple the size of their businesses, hire a boatload of people and easily make a killing by catering to this infinite market demand. Instead they’re all asleep at the wheel.

Trump watching Satanyahu and realizing, "oh, you can just do it. Be evil openly and kill innocents by the thousands. When you're a president, the let you do it. You can do anything."

Gaza is the model.

Cop City is the homework.

It's coming.

i wanna play project zomboid but i am too busy getting character customization mods to add more hair and shit, the masculine need to look pretty or cool in a video game

also about the job hunting thing, tomorrow i'll have an interview. it's just that the idea of jobhunting drained me so much i feel like kris deltarune with their lack of control over life itself. i keep getting called over while i do stuff i enjoy, i feel watched, i feel uneasy, all the time, every the time

my family members constantly go "SEARCH FOR JOB" "SEARCH FOR JOB" "ALL THE TIME DO IT" and i am TIRED I DON'T WANNA DO IT ANYMORE

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Applying for jobs is the most degrading thing. Like you have to jump through hoops just to have the privilege to be exploited so you can eat food.

What if Stephen King said the Epstein list wasn't real as a ploy to keep Trump's supporters (who hate him) to keep asking for its release, and it has backfired spectacularly?
