I’ll read through those threads sometime. I don’t think I’ll be commenting in that instance though. Maybe I’ll look around for a community that clicks better to interact with. I don’t really have questions off the top of my head, sorry. I don’t know what I don’t know.

“People I don’t agree with are lying in bad faith.”

I have no interest in talking to you.

Ok.

This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)

Hexbear is a community that expects you to conform. Every time there is a post like this, someone comes out of the woodwork and says “They’re nice people if you talk like them and agree with them on everything.” It’s cool that you’re not getting abused, but abuse is coming from that space, whether or not it is happening to you.

It’s a shame because I would like to hear the nuances of their viewpoints, but I can never get them to tell me what they are. Always complaining that nobody tries to understand, but dogpiling on anyone that asks questions. Then they pull up your report history and tell you “It’s just a little dunking bro, stop being a snowflake” for not putting up with it.

Users of Hexbear, if you’re reading these words, do better. Nobody is going to sympathize with your cause if you antagonize outsiders that want to learn more.

You forgot an A.

Well first I divide the word by Eminem.

This just hurts. A whole loving family being thrown under the bus to protect one cop. Therapist sounds like a piece of work too, there should never be unwanted physical contact during therapy. Evil.

Meanwhile Starlink’s direct to cell capability is only growing. If your phone has 4G, Starlink knows where it is.

This is all news to me, could someone please elaborate/share some resources?

I don’t know anything about Starlink but I guess I should if it knows anything about me.

Za Warudo!

My condolences. I’m sorry that happened to you.

The metaphor was bad, just take the L.

15 years ago the first iPhone came out. Probably related.

The fact that you think a pet name and a preferred name are the same thing shows how much you understand what you’re talking about.

Genesis 5: 2 says “Male and female he created them, and he blessed them.”

In an English translation. I’d be interested to see what subtleties in the original text didn’t make it over.

And Native Americans have 5 genders.

Weird that entirely separate and different societies all come to the conclusion that there should be more than just 2 genders that are locked in at birth.

It’s almost as if each person is unique and shoehorning people into only one possible way of living based on your sex is archaic and holding us back from living our most fulfilling lives.

Right? Some of these kids see their teachers more than their actual parents. Could you imagine having to deal with such blatant disrespect every day from someone that is meant to be your role model?

Depends, are you a hard drive or a router?

Also also, can we revisit nutritional information on the packages? Make the serving sizes more easy to understand to humans, I’m not measuring out cups, ounces, or grams of food. Every container should have a label, even if it came in a bigger package. Sweeteners should be combined into parentheses too so the ingredients don’t look like “water, flour, glucose, sucrose, dextrose, maltose, high fructose corn syrup, sugar” (now with less sugar!)

the rule where it couldn’t be more than 12 characters long

This is the one I don’t get. Sure you don’t want people putting in an infinitely long password, but I like to have my passwords at around 15 characters. Why are you forcing me to make a less secure password?

Only reason I can think of is storage but even at a massive scale, this is text, paying for that storage would cost as much as a rounding error.
