The whining about authoritarianism is so annoying to me

[–] UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net -1 points 2 years ago

My boss getting to decide my hair color? Not authoritarian. Some suit deciding if I live or die with medicine prices? Not authoritarian. A government that represents my interests making sure I have access to high-speed rail and shelter? Sus, authority, red flag

I messed up by choosing this nickname. I sorta want to put a DPRK thing as my profile pic, but that seems wildly offensive next to ButtBidet.

[–] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Can't you change the nickname? At least what shows as one?

[–] Yanqui_UXO@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was logged out when I opened the site and, for a second, I showed as u/GarbageShoot in the upper right corner

a bug? a feature? a threat? who am i?

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shit, I thought that bug was fixed.

[–] lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same, I thought it was a websocket issue, and the devs removed that??

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net -1 points 2 years ago

This has been happening to me too, very regularly; I see another user info for a split second.

The current implementation does not indeed appear to use websockets; it calls a controller every 30 seconds or so instead.

hang on guys, I just stumbled in from the bear site. so is this like the equivalent of the hexbear megathread? I'm still really confused about how this federation stuff works

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

pretty much, except it's always in the same community

[–] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh sick, you guys can put the hammer and sickle in your username. nice

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's a unicode character so you can put ☭ in your username on any site

[–] UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net -1 points 2 years ago

No, there were issues

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably? I dunno what the bear thread is but this is a weekly post where you can comment whatever

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We have a daily megathread that people volunteer to do a short writeup of one topic or another and is placed in whatever comm is appropriate. Then the site uses it as basically a local twitter.

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

:0 what an interesting custom. I guess this thread isn't like that then

[–] MaeBorowski@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The comment section of the thread is almost exactly the same except for the the daily vs. weekly aspect. At hexbear there's a mini essay or something like that as the post body each day but it's usually not what gets talked about much. People being able to just make a comment about whatever or chatting about what they feel like is the same both places.

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I checked out the August 7th thread and yeah you're right. I wonder how they decide on who gets posting duty for the day

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This weekend I will walk in the Pride Parade 🏳️‍🌈 looking forward to it

I just saw an ad for a online gambling website. The url was was just an ethic slur dot com

[–] UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net -1 points 2 years ago

That feels like one of the good cumtown bits

[–] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There was a time when I would run away from the stupidity of real life to the virtual - internet, video games, books, even comics. Nowadays, I am more and more often pressed to run away from the stupidity of the virtual and into the embrace of the real. Except real life has only gotten more stupid and disappointing with years. There's nowhere left run

[–] UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net -1 points 2 years ago

When your options are fight or flight and half that is off thr table you only have one path to take. Crying alone in a fast food resteraunt while everyone pretends to not notice

Hello lemmygrad rat-salute

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

greetings, show us your best capybara emojis

[–] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

capybara-fancy capybara-theorist

A quick search turns these two up, I swear we have more somewhere though

Edit: found a couple of quokkas, which aren't quite capybaras, but are still pretty cute quokka-smile quokka-wink

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

excellent, excellent

This is so powerful, I am going to make a "why I left the left" on youtube

[–] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

dramatically ripping my Bernie 2020 shirt in two in front of a camera and then going "I was literally the most left wing radical that has ever existed, but the tankies over there are just unhinged. I've read some Jordan Peterson and I've been getting pretty convinced..."

[–] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I have heard literally 4:37 seconds of Peterson's incoherent bullshit, and that was more than adequate time for me to confirm that he's utterly full of pig vomit, has no idea what he's talking about, and has nothing useful to say.

If you see him I heartily recommend throwing hardcopies of Jung at his head and screaming GWAR lyrics at him until he pisses himself and starts crying.

If South Korea is so great, why do they need to literally host a fuck ton of Amerika's army there.

[–] UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net -1 points 2 years ago

Hell Korea?

[–] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Question: I sometimes like to check out the modlog, but most of the time when I click on the removed comment to check the context (i.e. if it's someone screeching about tankies), I can see a reply to the deleted comment, but not what's above it. Clicking "show context" does nothing. Clicking "see all comments" and then searching on the page doesn't show the deleted comment or the reply to it. What am doing wrong?

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I belive its currently a bug

"They got mad at me when I said it but they do run the world!"

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Can you elaborate what this is ment to mean?

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've taken up the monumental task of growing a tomato plant in my appartment, and it is showing signs of an actual tomato. If only my pepper seeds would sproud, I may be able to have a home grown salsa soon.

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Have you tried growing garlic or onions yet? They are easy additions to your indoor garden that would go well with the other ingredients.

Power to your peppers!
