It is so important that we support each other in our work instead of viewing this as a zero-sum competition to climb the ranks. Everyone thinks the Posting Division is easy, since we created this website for practice, but I understand the struggle of finding your place. Reach out, ask for support, and be willing to help others in turn. We all succeed when the Bureau succeeds.

    It sucks because I finished last at the academy and didn't think I'd have much of a future. When they told me I'd be monitoring Hexbear they said "We only give this to agents we can't trust to wipe their own ass without accidentally shooting themselves". Sure that's happened a few times but I know, I KNOW, I can convince someone to commit terrorism. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and I matter.

      People think the Hexbear beat is a punishment, but really it's an opportunity! There is so much space to excel here if you know you audience and play to your strengths.

        See that's the problem. I don't have any strengths and almost suffocated this morning trying to lick the bottom of a peanut butter jar. I want to succeed, sure, but sometimes I forget which hands are mine when typing and get confused.

          Here's the thing: that's exactly the capacity of the average Hexbear user! Your weakness is your strength!

      Aww, buddy, I'd do terrorism for you any day. Tell you what, next time the Agency is pulling a false flag, I'll let you take the credit for radicalizing our puppet.

        Hopefully that community support stays strong. I've been trying to drink a bottle of water all day but I can't figure out which way is up and I'm so dehydrated.
