I do, its honestly not too bad except for the coldest days during winter... Itll wake you up lol

Thats a good point, hopefully they keep going mask off in that way but after Bernie getting totally fucked over it felt like a lot of people maintained the "vote blue no matter who!" mentality, so I feel like this is just going to be a repeat. I am being hella doomer though, I know.

Absolutely, its just horrifying that it's ACTUALLY happening. But I guess that's the privilege of being American, especially a white one. I really need to figure out how to confidently use a gun for defense purposes ofc

Sacrilege. Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath is a perfect record, it's not all like Iron Man, and they are also the fathers of an entire genre of metal that rules (doom).

TAKE IT BACK rage-cry

This goes for you too @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net

Whaaaat thats such a good idea! Do you know what time they'll be performing?

This may be super obvious to everyone but me, but I feel like the shock and awe of the Trump administration (and the controlled op of the Dems) is intentionally done to break leftist unity and cement peoples positions as liberals to scare them away from communism/anarchism. Cuz with how things are going, I do not know what I would really say to a top-cop stan right now. Like, the "they were doing things to set this up for the Republicans" or "it would've been the same shit but slower" do not seem to hold up in the moment.

I am hopeful that more people are turning left but yikes. I know people that work at Planned Parenthood and they are so fucked. Not by December 2026, they are fucked RIGHT NOW, and there is nothing we can do about it. I'm terrified to go back to school for an MSW right now because who knows if I'll have a job by the end.

I know that during the first Russian Revolution there were still people who has faith in electoralism even though the Tsarist regime had been torturing people and using live ammunition to kill dissidents and yet the revolution still happened, it's still terrifying that it's going probably going to come down to that

Hexbear convinced me to get a bidet and it was the best decision of my life

Four pests campaign but make it dumb movie-ruiners

[–] ratboy@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Its probably a little bit of both lol. It's probably my karma for annoying the old people sitting next to me when I was drunk at Sinners. They definitely tried to move away from us while we were talking before the main previews even started though so they were crotchety for sure

I think theres been internet discourse about this and was like "hmm IVE never experienced this it mustn't be true!!" But I wonder what it is? Perhaps my behavior since lockdown has changed as well but just havent noticed

Luckily that was not my cross to bear, someone else did it lol

I mean if it were a cheesy horror, or a dumb marvel movie or comedy or whatever I wouldnt really care as much and I can get down with jokes and loud crowd reactions but I went to see 28 Years Later at a super small independent movie theater, and literally everyone else in the theater was shushing them and telling them go shut the hell up. The manager even said that she might give them a warning that they can't come back even though they are regulars so I imagine this might not be the first time

Had to leave a movie theater for the first time and ask for my money back because the people behind us were being so fucking obnoxious. I don't mind people whispering here and there, or even talking quietly during loud parts of the film to their friends or whatever I do that, but this shit was outta control. Kicking my seat, partner got hit in the head with someone's backpack as they walked to their seat, had popcorn thrown on him (not purposefully but still), talking at regular volume during the quiet parts. These were grown ass adults too. Fucking absurd behavior

I'm finally turning into an old person. not-listening

 

I am not a nerd(respectful), but I would like to know how you'd set up your phone. I'd like to start leaning into more opensource/privacy minded apps and such to avoid having as much of my data harvested. I'm still going to use apps like Instagram which are obviously horrible but I figure trying to do better in other areas is better than nothing.

  • what to delete
  • what apps are a must (calendar, maps, app store etc)
  • vpns?
  • keyboards?
  • email besides proton? Is there a way to have my emails from Google forward to this address?
  • everything needs to connect to Google accounts is there a way around this?

And yes any other advice on making your phone functional/fast/anonymous/aesthetically pleasing is welcomed thankkkkks

 

What does it feel like for you when you've used any ADHD medications? I have looked at a bunch of reddit-logo posts but I feel like there are never good answers for this. I have heard that they can help NT people with focus and such, or that y'all build up a tolerance after a bit. And then I hear for people with ADHD, that the first couple of times you take the meds, or if the dose is too high, that you'll feel speedy/high.

I've been trialing meds with my psychiatrist for a while and I feel like I don't even know if I have ADHD because of all this conflicting info and how I feel on them. I know it can take a lot of trying different types and doses but I just doubt my diagnosis I guess.

TL;DR: What do stimulants feel like for you've taken them semi-regularly?

 

Lol. Lmao even

 

The current General Megathread reminded me of this band. From the Wikipedia page about them:

"Although the band itself was not overtly political, original and early members were known to participate in various political organizations and movements amidst the volatile daigaku funsō and Anpo protests of the time, with the band as a whole reportedly performing in the occupied Kyoto University auditorium while it was held by students during a protest in 1969, this event being known as the "Barricades A Go-Go concert". The band also performed at political concerts around Japan, including a Kyoto University concert on Gozan no Okuribi protesting the construction of the Sanrizuka airport.

In 1970, after having performed with the band since 1967, original bassist Moriaki Wakabayashi assisted in the hijacking of Japan Airlines Flight 351 orchestrated by the Communist League's "Red Army Faction." He was known to be engaged in political activity by the rest of the band, but Wakabayshi himself claimed the band never really talked about politics amongst themselves. Mizutani is cited in Susumu Kurosawa's book "Psychedelia in Japan" as saying "Sometimes we hold a guitar, sometimes we hold protests, variety is good, but protest songs are a bore."Wakabayashi and Julian Cope both claim Mizutani attended political rallies with a black helmet, implying he was an anarchist."

Came on the YouTube algorithm this morning. Very chill but still has that jungle BPM to help keep me moving while getting ready for the day. I'm really selective about my EDM nowadays so it's always nice to find something I enjoy.

Reminds me of my old renegade rave days on the beach catgirl-happy

 

My friend who was just denied for SSI benefits just got tickets on both of his cars for expired registration. One vehicle acts as emergency shelter as he has been housing insecure for years, and the other is what he uses for work (delivery driver). He can barely work as it is due to his disability, anything helps!

The amount would cover both parking tickets, plus 1 year car registration for each vehicle. Even if we could get to half of that he would be sooo grateful. Thank you comrades Care-Comrade

DM me for money transfer info

UPDATE: my friend got locked out of his delivery driving account since his registration was flagged and so he cannot do the only job that he's been able to do with his disability. He cannot stand or walk for long periods at all and is waiting for surgery. He has already been talking to his housemate about moving back into his van due to his inability to pay rent, even before his account got locked.

 
 

I keep hearing that this is frowned upon, but I cannot help it. After I share, I circle back and explain how and why I connected the two stories to try to recenter the other person. Is this annoying? How do you want ND people to respond in that case?

 

"This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog! This is from the widows, the orphans, and those who were killed in Iraq"

 

Probably one of my all time favorite rap songs. The only song I think I have ever, in my life, feel compelled to play on repeat like 2 or 3 times before I feel satisfied listening to it. I even made collard greens tonight since it's been stuck in my damn head

The dub hook is just sooooo.....I don't even know what to say about it. It's perfect. I love blasting it in my car and I'm an old and never blast music anymore. Classic
