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 sicko-yes

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.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

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? shrug-outta-hecks

UlyssesT left to move to the countryside as cover for killing Henry Kissinger

My cat started drinking water on his own so I can finally feed him dry food now.

[–] crime@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's great! wish my cat would drink water on her own, she only likes drinking from faucets meow-tableflip

[–] Woly@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

how many mentions in your inbox are just "be gay, do @crime"?

[–] crime@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No idea I had >600 mentions from being tagged in the nerdcall for megathreads so I just cleared them all

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

federating makes this a player-vs-player server

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

we're all russo-chinese soros bots so it's technically PvE and we're the E

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Still winning tho

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] crime@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)
[–] roux@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

It was really good for like the first 2 months after federating though.

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.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

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.

Hi crime welcome back! How was the grilling?

[–] crime@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I gotta say, paying less attention to The Horrors helped keep the existential dread away
