what if tho????

you're a traitor to good taste if you upvote

he would be a volcel radlib obviously wtf

no that would fix too much, the texture of having your time wasted by bus scheduling comes with it certain expectations of further waste and an endpoint service more about restricting the movement of the proles than about enabling their lives and that would be lost on somebody who actually had to orient their lives around a bus system

i can tell you in a lot of smaller situations, the tip pool gets stolen.

in the last job i had, the servers kept cash tips (no solidarity, not exactly criminal but fuck you buddy they're not coming here to see your smile also) but the owners kept all the pos card tips for themselves.

I made a complaint last time this happened (and some health code stuff too) but it doesn't matter, nothing ever happens.

maybe ukraine should capitulate idk

hexes are the shape honeycombs are, bears like honey : winnie the pooh likes honey, and puts htem in a honey pot. Hexbear is a honeypot

i'm left hand dominant and my first guitar was a shitty left hander, but my learning went nowhere until i started playing right handed and at this point i couldn't imagine fucking with a left handed guitar except under duress

yeah this is what i'd make my drug running look like; bougie salads are easier to explain than the logistics of supplying adrenochrome to an entire campaign staff

i've felt profoundly alienated and unable to connect on basic things lately.

I am having a very hard time finding work, and i'm realizing the world is both worse than i thought, and i'm starting to doubt my willingness to do what it takes to fight it.

I really just want to hide, and spend all day learning and reading what i can, trying to forget people want to destroy me for my identity. I can barely stand going outside lately. I don't find as much joy in anything, i'm often emotionally blunted. I just lost a family member that was dear to me, and maybe that's part of it.. but honestly this has been going on longer than that. it's just getting worse.

i've been forcing myself to go outside and make new connections when I can, and it seems to be helping at least.

i respect it. the more i felt outside the clubhouse, the more i disassociated genitals from gender, the less i wanted to do with the masculine.

which is something i've never really unpacked, but it makes a pansexual me functionally lesbian

on grindr it's basically a handshake and the further into transition i got the more i hated the entire app and male hookup culture generally

i spend some time oscillating between thinking it's kronos and then ouranos and then kronos again but tbqh i think what we need is a palate cleanser, and we just need to let aries finish us off

when a community doesn't subsume itself into the wider site network and instead leaves partially or entirely offsite, that's a split. That's what I meant. I know how this site was formed.

I think the site should want to grow - i think the site needs a way to bring people in - like current users should be encouraged to bring people in they know that would be a fit for the community. However, soliciting/doing work on places like r*ddit to bring people in is going to get the wrong kind of attention, and success in terms of user count can be a major failure in terms of ideological priority if done incorrectly, and I think the general desire to "grow the site" as a direct first-priority concern is not the way to grow hexbear such that it keeps what makes it a worthy place to come to.

not all growth is good. the site problems facing hexbear are things that would be rendered completely dysfunctional at a larger scale - the site mods and admins need a better handle on their internal processes and how they interact with the community, for one. If there is this much drama at this scale, that's not something that can weather a user influx and stay usefully itself imo.

I think there's virtue in obscurity and any growth strategies should seek to preserve it as long as possible.

i have so many goddamn questions about that outfit

Having seen a few large community -> small community splits, this doesn't guarantee infamy or any kind of mental penetration within the userbase of origin at all.

Small is safe, is all i'm really saying. A large influx of users will not be good for this place as a leftist hangout, bet.

maybe it shouldn't have visibility? like maybe the reason hexbear exists as it does, with its tacit and built-in leftism is entirely a product of obscurity?

like everytime something gets big, it becomes a threat, if not to profit-seeking competitors simply threatened by the diverted attention, then the ideology being out of step and what is otherwise outside of permissible mainstream discourse.

attention is bad imo

let the people meant to find this place find it, leave everyone else to their bullshit.

why is alexandria ocasio-cortez such a huge piece of shit????????????

don't answer i don't care why any cia asset does what they do

unironically scans

a youtube playing a 10 hour ambient track on loop that is "587hz 777 healing energy align your chakras lucid dream" will have to suffice
