Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

i am sick of being treated as eccentric for not wanting to buy things i can't repair, legally or due to how it was manufactured, materially.
i'm tired of adhesives, rivets, proprietary fasteners, vinyl-wrapped particle board, flimsy plastics, fast fashion's razor thin synthetics. everything is always a piece of shit, and with prices ballooning, it no longer fits the ecologically destructive "just buy a new one" value proposition anymore.
i guess there is only so much capital can do to make something difficult to repair before they have to make it law that you can't fix broken shit.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is this mantra that has been around since i was very short, but without REPAIR, wtf is the point.
At a certain point, it will be a more worthwhile proposition to detach from the profit-driven economy at large and just make things independently from open-soutce blueprints.
There will come a time when we end up boycotting everything.
Already getting there. It's hard.
