I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don’t have to classify people as either “cool” or “uncool”, or “good” and “bad”. We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.

The people complaining about that are mostly the same as the ones who complained that the masks were “suffocating” them during covid.

One issue I have with hexbear is that you can’t argue with its users on hexbear itself. Most comments from outsiders are deleted within a day, and most of the users aren’t interested in discussions and simply resort to name calling and personal attacks. The more “sophisticated” ones will tell you to “read theory”. The amount of hexbear users actually capable of producing arguments seems to be very low, at least from my experience.

These issues exist on other instances as well of course, but on hexbear its particularly bad. The only other instances this toxic I have interacted with were lemmygrad and exploding-heads.

If there was a way, there’d be huge corporations offering it as a service.

it didn’t disappear, just got to small for you to see 😉

I’d say an ally is someone you have an alliance with, so someone with who you have agreed to pursue a common goal. So yeah, I’d say if you are someone’s ally, they are also yours.

That differs somewhat from how it’s used in the LGBT+ community, where it refers to non-LGBT+ supporters of LGBT+ rights.

If you own housing that you rent out more than you use it yourself, you’re a landlord.

If you rent out your house or apartment while you’re on vacation, I wouldn’t call you a landlord. But if you have a house or apartment that you only ever offer on AirBNB without ever using it yourself, you’re a landlord.

Btw, I don’t agree that being a landlord makes you deserving of a guillotine, but I do agree that we should limit the ownership of housing to natural persons, with a limit on how much space a person can own.

Of all the shit Ubisoft does, not selling on steam is the dealbreaker? Alright.

->go to sleep

->mobilization is announced

->wake up

->too late, go to prison

I really enjoyed Watch_Dogs, despite the shit it got at the time.

yes, its practically the same thing. Both contain surfactants, which is the stuff that allows you to rinse off oils and fats with water.

I could imagine a disease turn people delusional and aggressive. What’s always seemed unrealistic to me was the premise of zombies being chill around each other and/or animals, but going bonkers when they see an uninfected person.

Also, these people would be done in by cold wheather, injuries, lack of food and water rather quickly, so they likely wouldn’t pose the threat they do in movies.

Smell is a pretty complex thing.

For vision, we only have four different kinds of receptors, which can be stimulated by electromagnetic waves on a one-dimensional spectrum.

For smells, we have about 350 different kinds of receptors. Also, they can’t easily be stimulated by electromagnetic waves, but only by molecules, which are much more difficult/costly to transport to their corresponding receptors.

Not a parent, but my first name is the first name of a close friend of my parents, and my middle name is a slightly changed version of my grandpa’s first name

Not exactly like the ones you oncluded, but I really like this one: Challenger - Lemmino

I don’t see anything wrong with an occasional blunt, but regularly smoking weed will fuck you up in the long term, do not recommend. How about a hobby?

Sounds like you’ve already answered your question yourself.

I don’t know about the US, but in Germany the right lane is for getting on and off the high way, so going very fast there might be dangerous. It also just makes things less chaotic, traffic becomes more predictable and driving less exhausting.

Yeah, but this only shows communities followed by at least one user of your instance.
