If I wanted to be taken serious, I would simply not choose a name that instantly reminds people of pedophiles

You're saying this on Hexbear.com
What’s pedo about hexbear
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedobear
So I get what you're saying, but honestly I haven't seen a reference to pedobear in the wild in probably like ten years. I get the feeling only the channers and other terminally-online messageboard types know about it.

Which is why it should have been considered and avoided in becoming the official site name
No this is stupid, literally not even the place where that meme originated remembers it. The only people who would ever think such a thing are people who unironically call themselves "Internet/Meme historians".
Bears are cool and good, but it's dumb to ignore the obvious connection to our sitename we're trying to spread and grow and the infamous pedophilia mascot.
Site was better when it was called chapo.chat and the hexbear was just a logo meme.
I uh... never even considered this until you brought it up?
I mean ____ bear isn't that uncommon, you got Panda Bears, Grizzly Bears, Drop Bears, Polar Bears, Sloth Bears, Sun Bears, Spectacled Bears, Kodiak Bears, Cave Bears, Cinnamon Bears, Glacial Bears, and now Hex Bears.
Also after this Bear doesn't look like a real word.
It's one of the first things people think about when they hear about obscure internet forums suffixed with -bear.
Which is why shifting to this name (especially after ousting our admin over false pedophilia claims) was a terrible idea.
Yeah I’ve never thought about that but I guess it could seem sus to people that don’t know
Lots of banned accounts in this comments section. You love to see it, folks. Also:
lolli.com
that is a very libertarian website name.
It was actually just one user spamming a wiki entry about veganism
What's up with L. Ron. Musk dropping Bitcoin? Is the Ponzi scheme going to collapse?
He does, in his own mind, consider himself an environmentalist, and he's not exactly known for making sound financial decisions. He's probably being more or less sincere with this. He's also very likely to flip on this at any moment.
He is at a fundamental level a 40 year old man desperate for the approval of random teenagers.
You called your business lolli, you concern yourself with crypto and teslas?
And no one told you that was a bad idea?
It looked around to find where this whole "75% of bitcoins are minded with renewable energy" thing comes from and turns outs it's technically true in a sense that Xinjiang has a hydroelectric station as a part of it's power grid. The word "with" does a lot of heavy lifting.
And every time you use it, the blockchain uses a week of electricity for a European household.

Elon suspending Bitcoin payments due to unsustainable mining practices
I find it hard to believe he didn't know. Plus his own company's mining practices are unsustainable.
Yeah I'm absolutely sure there's some ulterior motive here. I heavily doubt he's doing this out of some sense of duty for the planet
He's either in a cash crunch and needs an excuse to dump some bags, or he's trying to push the price down so that he can pick up more at a discount. "Buy a Tesla with Bitcoin" was always incredibly stupid. Who would buy a depreciating car with an appreciating, scares resource?
Legitimately I was watching a coin, sue me I sometimes take part in capitalism while living under it, and it dipped like 20% in about 15 seconds when he made that tweet and went back up as much a minute later. It crashed the exchange I was using lol.
It was pretty much across the board the same story, except most of them are still down.
Shit's wild that this guy has that much power on a "free" market lmao. I don't see how people aren't immediately seeing that as a huge flaw in the decentralized economy plan.
My FUCKING BRAIN is so broken i read "Lolli has officially suspending bullying Tesla" imma have to take a few days off soon logging off. it's starting to effect me
