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

I have always had a lot of trouble being motivated to take good care of myself, beyond the most essential things. I have recently had a shift in mindstate that I hope lasts. If you want people to think positively about your ideology it helps if you show that you can live well in general.

Subconsciously people will trust others much better if they are kind, clean and fit, so I'm now fully committed to joining the swoletariat and being the best self I can be to help infuse the idea in those I interact with that communists can be trusted as a vanguard.

It's been difficult to have commitment to my physical wellness and consistently eat and sleep well, but reading Ho Chi Minh and Mao specifically about the dangers of individualism has helped me see that it is important for the future of communism to be social, healthy and athletic if one is able to be.

So comrades, be not afraid to let yourself grow and shine like a role model. If you are having difficulty being motivated or feeling down on yourself, remember that you are an essential component on the road to communism. Obviously we all have different strengths and abilities, I don't mean to disparage anyone that may have physical or other hindrances, we only need to do what we are able to.

Looking for a second job now. The sober living president told me I have to find a new job, but my mom vetoed me leaving my current job because of just how supportive they've been to me in my recovery/when I was in active addiction.

CW: Suicide

If you've been paying attention to my posts here, you'll know I went to rehab because I tried to kill myself when I was drunk. I had been trying to get in for a long time, but no place would accept me with my undiagnosed seizure condition. Honestly that suicide attempt was one of the best things that ever happened to me, the doctors at the hospital gave me an EEG so I could go into rehab and I straightened up my life from there. I was in the ICU for 2 days after that attempt, but I kinda needed that pause.

It wasn't my old roommates, or any of my "friends" that received my suicide note, it was my manager that saw my text, pulled up to my apartment and called an ambulance. She even told the hospital workers I was trans and my preferred name so I would feel comfortable when I woke up. My coworkers were constantly calling my mom when I was in rehab, trying to check in on how I was doing. One of them even sent me mail while I was in there. These were people that never judged me when I called in from being hungover because they understood my addiction as a disease that I was trying my best to fight. Like months before I went into rehab, I asked them to refuse to serve me alcohol.

The higher ups have started cutting down on labor hours, so I've really been struggling recently, barely making enough to survive. But the people at my job have really earned my loyalty, being some of my biggest supporters at times that I don't even know if I deserved it. I'm still looking for a second job, but especially after the conversation with my mom, I'm dead set on not leaving this job

Trump watching Satanyahu and realizing, "oh, you can just do it. Be evil openly and kill innocents by the thousands. When you're a president, the let you do it. You can do anything."

Gaza is the model.

Cop City is the homework.

It's coming.

You know I re4 whe. Youre at a safe spot on top of a ladder so you let the zomies get most of the way up, knock the ladder down and then shoot them while theyre re-setting the ladder? I felt like one of the zombies in that situation today

I was about to comment that that's one of the most fun things in RE4 until I got to your last sentence, but oof. Hope today's been going better cuddle

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.

If we all lock in and bare witness to the slaughter, we can reassure ourselves that depression and hopelessness is activism. The first headline evokes rage against inaction, the second demands it.

Think about racial discourse in the liberal sphere - instead of altering the system that holds the world in stewardship of the white European, we are told to self-flagellate about the atrocities of the past and to bare witness to them.

We are told to alienate ourselves from history, go become spectators, rather than act upon it.

the wire season 2 spoilers, vague tokyo vice spoilersjust finished s2 of the wire, my first time watching the show. while i've enjoyed it a lot so far and it is definitely better written than most cop shows, i thought the way they killed off frank sobotka felt contrived and poorly written. i get that he had to die for the sake of the metaphor but he was a smart guy and he didn't seem at all like he wanted to die, so having him choose to go meet up with a bunch of gangsters under a fucking bridge right after talking to the cops felt like it was really dumb and out of character. reminded me of a similar thing towards or at the end of tokyo vice s1 which i thought was so dumb it made me stop watching the show altogether. i won't stop watching the wire but this felt like the first major misstep so far

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.

Sometimes the name of a place said in the very strong accent of that place is just top notch. Examples include:

Wisconsin

New Orleans

Virginia (but like the tidewater classy type of Virginia accent)

Baltimore

Please tell me others, thank you

I've worked 22/24 days so far this month and I can't take another break until the 1st. Its sucked but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel inshallah

Jesus, how much energy and money is wasted by offices making themselves as uncomfortably cold as possible in 100 degree heat. Who even asks for 60 degree offices? I hate this shit.

I’m surprised hulk hogan was only 71, he’s looked to be in his 70s for like 30 years lol.

okay no for real, I'm starting to believe the haaarp weather control theories, i'm being attacked personally by the clouds. It's been cloudy for the last hour straight and i look at the clouds and they swirl around in just such a way that they linger blocking the sun. Im being attacked by a cloud wizard chat, there's no other explanation. Some old jealous arcane cracker doesn't want me to tan to a golden brown
