thanks for the bumps comrade

 

It's been over a year since I lost my last job within the first month for missing a shift I was called in for that wasn't on the schedule, and I've been in limbo ever since. I didn't have enough work history to qualify for unemployment the last two jobs I lost, and don't have enough to qualify for disability. Apparently I haven't worked enough to prove I'm too disabled to work.

I can't drive, so my options are extremely limited, and I've already applied multiple times at every business I can reasonably get to on the shitty public transport in my town. Haven't had a single interview, not even at fucking mcdicks, and at this point I'm feeling like society expects me to just roll over and die.

This is so wild to me because I can't even get to the point where a small business tyrant meets with me in person to discriminate against me. I'm not worthy of anything more than some fucking AI silently deciding I'm an undesirable apparently.

I've recently tried to get SSI again only to find out my medical records are too old to access, and so there goes my autism diagnosis I guess. Applied anyway, but I'm certain I will be denied. No idea how to even talk to a lawyer about that for help. No idea what to do in general, and every single day I'm feeling more and more as though I'm just not allowed to live a dignified life.

Anyway, I gotta pay for my life saving medication, and I need to buy razors and some bathroom supplies. I hate having to post here for this every time it comes up, I think there are so many comrades here who need the money even more than I do, but I have nowhere else to turn. I don't know what I'd do without my Hexbear comrades.

If anyone wants to help out by pitching in or just bumping this thread I'd really appreciate it. My cashapp and venmo are under the handle cosecantphi. DM me for zelle or paypal info.

I too would like for someone to spread my ashes in Yukon after I retire

Honestly, if you have someone you trust to tripsit for you, then shrooms might not be a bad idea as a supplement to actual counseling.

For me personally, psychedelics have been perfect for this sort of thing. They turn your default mode network to soup for a few hours. In my own experience, this results in honest and useful introspection because it enables you to think about things from perspectives you've previously trained your sober mind to never give fair consideration to.

are you sure? I swear I remember that struggle session being about aerodynamics

I'm not so sure the cops would do nothing. Like I'm pretty sure they'd arrest you on assault charges and have you spend a couple days in jail before a judge throws out the case

There are no cameras in the restroom (fucking hopefully), you'd think these things would get obliterated within a day of being installed

It was the one time I've ever seen the mainstream media outlets in this country express genuine fear, like they were actually visibly depressed and dooming for a little while before South Carolina calmed them down

After Nevada it really looked like Bernie had the primary win completely locked in for a couple weeks. It was a primary, but it was the presidential primary. Mamdani is just filling in what's essentially a figurehead position in one city

My faith in electoralism went from an all time high to an all time low in just that one month after the Nevada caucus

It won't stop them if targeting Hexbear specifically is what they decide to do, but it'll probably keep us off their radar a lot longer.

I think they are trying to provoke some would be school shooter into assassinating him.

How this is not extremely radicalizing to Mamdani himself as he abandons his principles to be more tolerable to these same people, I'll never understand.

 
 

Every laptop I've ever owned has been at the 500USD or less price point, and every laptop I've ever owned has had some kind of catastrophic structural failure in the chassis that causes the entire thing to gradually disintegrate after about two years, like clockwork.

Like, that must absolutely be something they do as an explicit design goal that forces you to buy a new disposable laptop just after the standard warranty expires, right? It's not just me being bad at computer or something?

 

I also appreciate bumps very much!

Sorry for another repost, comrades. No idea what I would do without my online commie friends as I affectionately describe all of you to the people in my life. Still need help with this one from yesterday, though:

Still job hunting, I can't wait to find myself a new small business tyrant to exploit me various unacceptable ways in return for the ability to live a somewhat more dignified life.

Last one fired me literally within the first month in November after a schedule misunderstanding wherein I missed two shifts because somehow my piece of shit boss had literally just put me on the schedule for the next two weeks, but still expected me to be literally on-call to do my part time job of working the register at a convenience store on days not on the fucking schedule.

I can't drive, and I'm autistic, so this finding a new job thing has been taking a lot longer than I had wished or hoped.

If anyone wants to help me out on this, my cashapp and venmo accounts are both under the handle cosecantphi. DM me for paypal or zelle information. Any little bit is very much appreciated! Bumps too!

Literally did it on impulse without even thinking about it so I wouldn't chicken out, so I blurted it out.

I said "I'm bisexual. I like both men and women. No more anti-gay stuff from you, ok?".

He said, "oh go away, you don't know what you like". I think he'll understand eventually, he needs time to think.

EDIT: Showed him this thread.

I said: "Look, this is what I said to you, these are my online friends who are happy for me that I came out as bisexual."

He said: "Oh you don't know what you're talking about, you've never had sex with a man or a woman before, until then you'll never know."

And yeah, I am still holding on to my v-card at 26. I was insecure about that years ago in high school, but I'm honestly glad I've waited to mature first.

 

Like what is the ultimate fate of the voyager probes and others on escape trajectories? My understanding is that space is far too sparse for these things to ever hit anything by coincidence, so their eventual fate is probably to be ejected out of the galaxy at some point.

They are then unlikely to be moving fast enough to actually cross intergalactic distances quickly enough for the expansion of space to not outpace the distance covered, leaving them in this void forever.

How long would they be recognizable as technological objects before the eons worth of stray hydrogen atoms erode everything away?

From where I'm sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.

You can't perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you're just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.

 

I'm not at all exaggerating when I say this. The bar is so incredibly, incomprehensibly low everywhere else that I'm about ready to call literally anyone who can join this community, be genuine, and still not get banned an actual saint.

And that's no diss at the admins for being ban happy or whatever, that's literally just how you create an online community full of good people and somehow Hexbear has been the first to realize it

 

Assume you never get tired of the pleasure in heaven, and you never get used to the torture in hell.

Lmao this is such a stupid scenario, but I love putting incomprehensibly large numbers in absurd contexts like this. Like yeah, no brainer that infinity is vastly incomprehsibly largererer than Graham's number, of course nothing is worth going to hell that long for.

But uh, Graham's numbers is a lot of years. For all intents and purposes it's just never coming compared to the characteristic time scale of human thought.

 

Is it really possible they'll find an entire dozen people who've never been fucked over by health insurance to preside as jurors over this case?

It's my understanding that the defense and prosecutor both must agree on the selection of jurors. In such a high profile case where the defendant is clearly in the right, is it really possible they'll find the requisite 12 people who've not only been living under a rock these past couple weeks, but also have what's essentially a "neutral stupid" character alignment?

Luigi himself seems to be on this same train of thought given he turned himself in. He had several days to destroy the evidence, but instead he went to McDonalds while cosplaying as the Adjuster, carrying the gun on his person. Surely this implies he won't take a plea deal, right?
