My mental health got into a weird superposition of "better" and "worse" so my brain reshuffled all of my interests and hobbies and the grillpill ones came out on top. But after the last ~~decade~~ week it felt like time to come home to the most powerful posters.
Noticed we've got PvP enabled now 
Anything else interesting happen recentlyish? Any good struggle sessions?
UlyssesT logged off to touch grass and kill Kissinger, and he was all out of grass.
Pressident Obama also logged off so our cute boy appreciating capabilities have plummetted.
@Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net I'm trans now lol
also RIP little Biggs 
Biggs lives on in our hearts
The immortal science of Marxism-Biggsism
oh rad!!! congrats on the gender 
and RIP comrade Biggs </3
Admins shut down the site and tried to coup Bolivia
are they still playing hide and seek with 
?
It's joever now
The trans megathread is majorly ascendant, last week's was bigger than the news mega
you know, I was gonna be surprised and disappointed if Hexbear wasn't at least 150% transer than it was when I logged off
it seriously is 
Any good struggle sessions?
Is Beanis funny?
I had my gallbladder removed and posted through my recovery because I had an excuse to be on here 24/7 while zooted up of my gourd
Of course, this also means there was a two week gap in my memory, but what are you gonna do? 
My cat started drinking water on his own so I can finally feed him dry food now.
that's great! wish my cat would drink water on her own, she only likes drinking from faucets 
Yeah it was crazy, after years of having to trick him into drinking water by mixing it in with his wet food, I caught him licking water off the shower floor and and decided to try putting a bowl out again, and just like that he was fine.
Also, FWIW they sell little cat water fountains that look like dribbling faucets, maybe your girl would like one of those?
little cat water fountains that look like dribbling faucets
big fan of these, my cat always was okay about drinking water but made an unholy mess of it by splashing in the bowl with his paws when it was just a bowl.
I've read that's like an instinct to aerate the water because moving water = good / fresh
UlyssesT left to move to the countryside as cover for killing Henry Kissinger
how many mentions in your inbox are just "be gay, do @crime"?
No idea I had >600 mentions from being tagged in the nerdcall for megathreads so I just cleared them all
Hah nerd
Tons of federation drama, which was pretty fun
Good to see you again conrad
Welcome back. Hope your doing better these days.
Thanks! me too lol
I started a mini struggle session on whether "lumpen" is a valid or useful term.
We're still infested with owls.
Something very funny happened to Joe recently
What's PvP?
federating makes this a player-vs-player server
we're all russo-chinese soros bots so it's technically PvE and we're the E
Still winning tho
99% of other instances have either blocked us or we blocked them, so there's not much "PvP" anymore. The majority of that happened during the beginning of federation being enabled
alas
It was really good for like the first 2 months after federating though.
They fear our power.
Naw, they just pre-emptively defederated as a last resort
Federation with the other Lemmy instances that didn't automatically block Hexbear because they were terrified of the power posters.
I joined about 8 months ago and shortly after that @UlyssesT@hexbear.net went on haitus so overall it's probably worse here than you left.
Hell yeah. Glad you're back.
Hell yeah, thanks comrade
i changed my avatar.
and a bunch of struggle sessions happened that i stayed far away from because i hate conflict.
oh and we are now majority queer and trans
But after the last decade week it felt like time to come home to the most powerful posters.
Hi crime welcome back! How was the grilling?
Thank you! I gotta say, paying less attention to The Horrors helped keep the existential dread away
I can't remember much that happened more than a few months ago but wow yeah a lot has changed since federation
