On this week this niche leftist forum was first launched (its was the 24th or 25th i think) Formed from the Chapotraphouse subreddit remnants that survived the reddit ban over the calls of violence against confederate slave owners, the first admins decided to use Lemmy as its base. Originally called Chapo.chat (ChaCha) Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.

In this last 5 years hexbear has survived many diffent events from numerous struggle sessions, mod clique-users conflicts, wrecker incursions from other instances and sites, this image dprk-soldier, a decent amount of fedidrama with other instances and the domain crisis, we still thrive with over 5 million comments and 375k posts.

I still continue my dictatorial rule over the general megathread for now over 4 years now, this time locked in the chapo comm so it can be more easily moderated, c/indigenous has now grown to 750 subs which im very happy plus now i take care of the empoc mega which has been pretty chill so far.

I still really enjoy the fedidrama, it fun to see all the fedilibs always thinking about hexbear despide the fact that they are on defederated instances and they can ust ignore us, we live rent free on their minds

When I was a boy, a man could afford to buy a house, support two families, and enjoy a retirement solely on the income from a job stealing children's breakfast cereal

I remember watching Monk like 12 years ago and that I liked it, but I don't remember any specifics about the show at all, so I could rewatch it.

Anyone watch it recently? Is it actually decent or was my underdeveloped taste inhibiting my opinion?

[-] spudnik@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lucy from Boonta Vista has another podcast where she watches through it, if that would help at all. Other than that I have no idea

Edit: it's called Savante Garde, and apparently they watch Monk and The Good Doctor as well

skimming the first issue of the native plant society publication I just joined and I learned about two (2!) rare local endemics. so i got two new botany quests but they're very much a step up in difficulty from my last one.

There is SO MUCH SKY for these fucking clouds to be but no it's just barely eclipsing the sun, lingering for forever, being replaced by another, for 40 minutes straight so far. Every time i think the cloud is gonna fuck off and let me get some sun it's replaced by some bullshit out of nowhere. Is this purgatory

I was shocked to learn that if you find a "sporting goods" store in a rural area in the West, it's not a store you go to get a soccer ball but instead one you get equipment to go kill animals with.

Apparently killing animals is "sports" to a subset of crackers.

Last week I hurt my ankle going to the tower, so this week im taking it easy and hanging out with the bees at the flower floor park. Watching this big native bee just taking flowers and rolling around on the ground with them. Tons of smaller honeybee and native bees around doing the same thing.

Instead of all the current names for metal like "death metal" or "Speed metal" or "Black metal", it should literally just be named after metals.

Like black sabbath should have been a copper band, people could have been really into zinc.

There's an american lib mansplaining immigration politics on this european metro. It feels weird to hear about how mexican immigrants pay american taxes so they're ok or how the republicans have moved the Overton window to allow for racism in the discourse on my commute.

What do my hexbears think about an "intentionality onion" similar to the "survivability onion"

The layers would be something like:
Ignorance grillman grill

Willful Ignorance not-listening

Negligence le-monke

Knowingly committing harm to someone(s) with indifference settlers

Knowingly committing harm to someone(s) with malicious intent holden-bloodfeast

Ultimately I'm hoping to cut through the needless debating about what specific quantity of intentional malice was being employed in a given scenario. It would be nice to be able to just broadly wave at the general idea that their actions (or inactions) exist somewhere on the spectrum without having to get into which specific level I'm accusing them of (because it often doesn't matter)

What changes would you make?

I had a dream where I was being chased down from the top of an impossibly large building. I was trying to find routes down by jumping from sloped, shingled roofs. With me was a guy with red spiky hair who kinda looked like young Tom Cruise and Stavros Halkias was there and he was constantly doing that fake cackling laugh.

It sounds dumb, but it was a really intense dream. My teeth hurt from grinding.

Happy Hexweek to all who celebrate. This weird corner has kept me sane when the events of the world have been bonkers. Keep posting, unless of course you decide to touch grass.

I mean think about all good and worthwhile music wasnt made by rich people, if you got money stop doing music and go be a doctor or donate your time. You dont belong here, this is not your lane.

Your art cant even hope to start until you give back to the world in a meaningful material way, not some bullshit free concert. Like give free lessons, volunteer somewhere regularly do something you pieces of shit.

Im riding such a wave right now, i finally feel like a full fledged musician and i did it all by myself. Eat the rich. You cant take this away from me you monsters

CW: Suicide, self harm

Still sober, but I'm cutting myself again. I've been thinking of just ending it everyday this week, I feel so worthless, like life is never going to get better because I'm not worth anything better. I don't even want to use right now, I just want to keep cutting my thigh until I bleed out.

browsing .ml comms and I'm noticing a user that reads like a lib parody of how they think we act. I guess it could just be an obnoxious shit-stirrer expressing genuine opinions, but I've been looking through profiles and it's obvious that there's a growing number of sockpuppets commenting in ways to make the position they allegedly support look as deranged as possible.
