Reddit-brain is a terminal disease :kombucha-disgust:
Randomly musing here, I think I'm one of the few people who has posted my full body/face here (not like that, it was a cool clip of my band playing in an underground waterway). I've met a few Hexbears IRL and hang out from time to time, and I'm always curious as to what other users actually look like.
Absolutely not in a horny way, to be clear, just out of curiosity.
Lmao, there are always people out there who will send anything.
Yee same, for the stated reason. I think the post is in limbo now until the old stuff gets restored.
I'm a large Midwestern adult son. :large-adult-son:
Curiosity satisfied.
I am too! High five! Except I have a green mohawk and dress punky/crusty and oh hell I'll just link you to my band if you want.
I'm too much of a coward to die my hair...
:rat-salute: braver than the troops
I didn't start until I was like 30, so...:vivian-shrug:
But thanks! :rat-salute-2:
What kind of music does your band play?
Edit: on second thought you can just shoot me the link if you want
Fuck it, mod face reveal:

Damn that's some good doom. How is the Chicago doom scene anyways? The San Jose one kinda sucked by the time I was there, too techified.
Oh god don't get me fucking started. We have some good bands, but as a performer, it's super incestuous and I fucking hate it. I quite giving a shit about scenes by the time I was 21 (over a decade ago). Now I just play shows for myself.
I actually got myself into a spot of trouble not too long ago for expressing this opinion about an Illinois doom fest that some people I know are booking.
Yup, sounds like most scenes. I think my favorite scene was the Vacaville/North Berkeley scene in like 2012-2014. Just alot of poor older highschool and community college music kids fucking around with shoegaze and indie pop, no real pretentions involved cause all the pretentious kids played at the Gilman. Was a cool scene to play in, no idea what happened after I moved.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for Chicago though, maybe make a trip there in a year or two. Try not to get yourself kicked out of the scene by then lol.
Yeah, definitely come on up here! THere's a good number of Hexbears here!
That scene sounds awesome. Glad you got to experience that!
I think we've talked about the name once before, a long time ago.
Anyway I know that's not actually you because you are a corgi with a laptop, not a human person who plays instruments
Here's a real picture of you :caught-in-4che:
Thanks! I just sent someone a more clear pic, but I'm not gonna post it out in the open here, it was through DMs.
I've seen more. ALso, while I do like an Orange, I prefer Matamp (they used to be the ones who built the original Oranges. They're still their own thing now, still in business, but much smaller).
Look up the now defunct band Beast in the Field. I can't find it now, but there used to be a picture of their guitarist standing outside with about....20 cabs I'd guess? Never counted.
I think because part of our founding was rooted in the BLM protest resurgence in 2020, there was a fairly big shift of not posting pictures of oneself for opsec reasons. That said, I remember some naked pics on one of the lifeboat discords.
:edgeworth-shrug:
Back when I originally posted the clip, admins and other elder mods told me to go ahead if I felt comfortable, and I am fortunate to say I do.
I think I got banned on one of them. Thankfully the mods were kind enough to let me create an account here with the same username, and have a second chance or something.
im a pre-transition waifish twink that's been thirst trapping fedi queers into becoming communists recently.
since a few hexbear users follow my lewd posting account, i'm ashamed to say that ive broken my volcel oath and users of this site have seen me naked
I've posted my motorcycle, where you can juuuuust make me out as a blurry set of pixels in the reflection on my helmet visor. I've also posted video of my dog where you can hear my voice/see my arm petting her.
I'm certain I'm far too uninteresting to attract a doxxer, but it's still something I'm a bit paranoid about at times. But anyway I'm a large coastal adult son.
I've been doing it about eight months now, I love it! I've got a Ural Solo
That's a badass looking bike! Much cooler than like 90% of Harleys I've seen. If I was to ride, I'd look into an Indian brand bike. They look kinda like yours!
My dad's a Harley guy, keeps telling me to get one - but idk I really love the "standard" look and I'm not a fan of the bobtail or chopper or anything like that (though I did raise my bars which did wonders for my comfort on long rides).
Indians are cool, I would also look at Triumphs and Royal Enfields for the classic Euro/American bike look, but basically every brand has a "modern classic" line right now since that became trendy about ten years ago. I would avoid getting an actual classic until you're really experienced at maintenance, lmao.
Part of me wants a indian or a triumph. I like the leatherbear connotations
Any issues with getting parts since the SMO began? I've wanted an ural for a while now (especially since I'm in a winter location and would keep riding in the winter but was sketchy on my normal bike) but that's something I've been curious about
A few issues for large parts, less so for small ones. There are a couple fasteners on my bike that were sold out on the Ural store but I found the exact same part on the Home Depot website, lmao. Now that they're producing in Kazakhstan I expect what issues exist (ie getting replacement exhausts and gearboxes) to smooth out by next year.
That plus the English-speaking Ural community's thirty years of slightly sketchy repair advice means I've never been frustrated for lack of parts.
Imagine a bald Matt Walsh. That's me.
Also, if you pick through my history, you'll find several pictures of my adorable dog.
Long dark haired tall and skinny white dude, I get called "Jesus" by people in public as a joke sometimes. Which is very ironic as I'm an atheist. I live in a more remote area of South Africa, so I guess it's uncommon to see people that look like that outside of the big cities.
I could dm you a picture but I prefer not to have my visage available for everyone to see
Can't they just make their own horny lemmy instance if they want it so bad? I thought that was the whole point of the :fedposting:iverse thing
they'd rather someone else took care of all the moderation and thorny questions they'd rather not consider
They are liberals. They want to dictate terms to a slave who will unquestioningly carry out their orders. Work is beneath them.
there have got to be thousands if not hundreds of thousands of porn sites, I don't understand this urge for everything to come from one cozy social media thing. do they want their porn socially validated?
They wanna be porn-reblogging rockstars, instead of the plain old meme-reblogging rockstars
....are there 'internet celebs' that are known for that?
No, wait, don't answer, I don't wanna know.
sometimes I have difficulty remembering people's names
but GallowBoob is stuck in my memory. And I feel shame.
Laziness I would imagine. Why not have all your treats in the same place regardless of context? :so-true:
Yes. It's also why people keep spreading lies about how pornography is actually a driver of every technology, etc. etc.
Yes they want the social connections, it's why onlyfans is so popular for instance
do they want their porn socially validated?
:soypoint-1: :reddit-logo: :soypoint-2:
allonormativity & seeing it as a neutral form of entertainment
Listen, I like the people on this site and but I really don't want to hear any of your hot takes on different types of porn content or the struggle sessions it would create. Keep it off the site for the good of all of us
:shrug-outta-hecks:
Oh jesus I hadn't even thought of that. All other discussion would immediately grind to a halt
:volcel-judge: :volcel-judge: :volcel-judge: We're doing our part! :volcel-judge: :bunny-cop: :volcel-judge: :volcel-judge:
I can already see Femboy Link being screwed by Ganondorf posted and a 200 comment thread about whether it's ethical to depict a 117 year old minor in that setting because he's not real
It's all about power dynamics. How many heart containers does Link have, and is this a speedrun?
if i die in a blaze of declaring fetishes i dont like are actually fascism, that'd be a good poster's death
:stupidpol: oh, it's a site like reddit! that means you guys care about Free Speech, right??
There are a couple of people who really can't stand the idea of any website on the internet not having porn.
I immediately forget how to use an address bar when I'm horny, so that is why every single website needs to have porno. :very-smart:
It's sort of like those people that get really mad if there isn't fucking cussing every other sentence in some online venue, and go out of their way to tell everyone they need to fucking cuss like grown-ass men all the time. :wojak-nooo:
I need a constant drip-feed of pornography to get me through the day.
This was not an invitation for users of this site to send me photos of their vaginas. Please stop that. I have a GF now.
Unironically due to CFS, when I used :reddit-logo: the little shot of adrenaline that having porn mixed with my scrolling helped me get through the day. But now I just drink caffeine and let the anxiety do that for me. Even at my most porn brainiest I wouldn't ask why a non-porn site doesn't have porn on it, that's a real 're-evaluate my life' moment.
If only there were some sort of central hub online where I could watch porn.
Honestly I might fall somewhere towards capitalism is draining the joy from your life and porn is a compensatory mechanism that cannot give you the fulfillment you actually need.
I understand why mods don't want to have to bother dealing with NSFW content, but I enjoy a titty when casually scrolling
Literally the only reason for Reddit, and I want self-post only, if it’s not posted with consent of those in the picture, BAN
why is porn not allowed on THIS site
i literally didn't read the rules so i do not know if it is :biden-troll:It boils down to a couple main reasons:
- The mainstream culture around porn and sites that host it is deeply objectifying and misogynistic. We still have problems with he/him pronouns coming into threads where conventionally attractive women are posted to AWOOGA (ironically or not) and that's without even allowing pornographic content. We try very hard to NOT be reddit, which means excising as much of that grossness as possible, and we still have a good ways to go.
2. [CW: child abuse]
It's a pain in the ass to moderate and significantly increases the chance that CP will get posted. No one wants to be exposed to that and we don't want to be liable for such disgusting content ending up here.
Based on these reasons, the most sensible policy is a blanket ban on porn.
The mainstream culture around porn and sites that host it is deeply objectifying and misogynistic.
Pretty much without exception, anyone I've met that lead with how they're "sex positive" also quickly revealed sex pest characteristics and issues with understanding consent. Being horny doesn't mean everyone should have to experience that horniness at all times, especially when cornered at work and propositioned.
Yeah it really sucks how simply showing yourself on the internet as a woman (or someone people think looks like one) is taken as an invitation for sexual comments. And so much of the time it takes the form of copy-pasted phrases that people will defend as "just a joke" if you call them out on it. I swear people lose all of their braincells when they go on the internet, like it's not less sexual harassment just because it's the internet.
Yeah I feel like genuine, impactful sex-positivity requires understanding and internalizing leftist theory. Even the most well-meaning and ostensibly "progressive" libs who claim to be sex-positive are still holding on to patriarchal concepts of sex and consent, intentionally or not. And unsurprisingly, the worst offenders in that regard are cishet dudes. Many self-proclaimed "woke" guys just want a plausible excuse to be creeps, rather than actively helping break down the walls that capitalists have built around our conceptions of intimacy and love.
