I hate living in a world of symbols

Like having to be constantly aware of when sign represents some seemingly unrelated essence, whether the user intends it or not.

See someone with a fedora and neck beard and it's supposed to mean they're misogynist.

My choice of masc or femme clothing sends a signal of my identity whether I want it to or not, and there's no such thing as a neutral base that sends no signal, like if I put no effort into it I still send a signal, I'm just unaware of what that signal is. Everything is this-coded or that-coded and to try to be not-coded is a statement rather than a lack of one. There's no such thing as a non-statement.

I just want to float through existence as a pure essence, interacting with other pure essences.

This is the biggest mood ever.

Feel this super hard

Body image issues always led me to conceptualize myself as an entity inhabiting a body, the body being incidental. And yes, I know my mind is an emanation of my body, but it's still primarily a vehicle for my soul. I want to meet other souls.

Big mood. You're extremely real for this one

All about the cultural signifiers, comrade. People want to be part of a tribe but that makes them all so bland. Just a conveyor belt of general purpose assembly line humanity specced to fit into a wide variety of utilities. Pure essences are too nebulous to fit. We just have to drift together on the perimeter

Duh of course I've got a red flag. I'm a communist.

The real takeaway is that men have worse politics than women (of people surveyed).

The survey results, which have been shared with Teen Vogue, include responses from 1,033 registered voters between the ages of 18-34. It was conducted between August 25 and September 1: 43% of respondents identify as male; 45% identify as female; 5% identify as trans; 6% identify as nonbinary or gender nonconforming, and 1% identify as other. (source)

Trans people disproportionately identified as "progressive", the most left wing option there was in the survey:

I hate how every dating app profile is all about how they enjoy skydiving, 4x4ing, kayaking and all kinds of crazy shit that is way too exciting for me, and probably would cost several months of my disposable income

I couldn't be in an involved relationship with anyone that has absolutely zero hobbies.

I'm pretty sure being trans is a hobby.... right....?

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

With all the work trans people seem to put in, it seems more like a job then a hobby.

The gender difference is... interesting.

[-] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

This is honestly my experience nowadays. Women are more likely to have at least half decent politics.

I really don't like the degree to which the alt-right has coopted overgrown facial hair.

I mean look at these guys: marx fidel-wut che-cigar We claimed this look from the beginning!

[-] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

The key is to also have long head hair. The chuds keep it face only. But yeah it's a bit annoying. I just wear a lot of purple / pink so no one gets any ideas.

Hell yeah! New dude repellant!

Just admit Iโ€™m a commie and 65% of dudes leave me alone!

Probably more like 85% - Living semi-rural in a historically conservative area suuuuuuck. And progressives tend to respect the nonverbal fuck off signals, so just a ton of conservative dickbags bothering..

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

I was lurking the joerogan subreddit and they were big mad about this.

Screaming and crying and throwing up and shaving my neck rn

But yeah idc that most women don't want to date a vegan/communist/etc. It's convenient for me since I don't want to date anyone who isn't. This way I don't have to do all of the filtering myself. I hate talking to someone, scheduling a date, and then learning that they are a squishy liberal who is presumably looking past politics because they like some other thing about me. I don't want you, you are wasting both our time. One time a girl literally dropped the r slur. Like did you read the bio or not? Jesus, people.

Meh, in my experience even conservative women will look past the whole 'communist' thing as long as you don't lead with it. That being said, conservative women tend to be pretty boring imo (in that they all follow the same trends) with the exception being those into athletics, which is a split between conservative women and lesbians (who are usually anti-communist progressive liberals), so they are an interesting demographic.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

uhh nah, we're all women, men are more angry about women being communists very-smart

I mean I refused to see Barbie but because the writers are on strike so giving studios money is scummy.

Edit: come to think of it, I haven't been to the theatre since like 2021

Carl Marks had hair on his neck, and many other places.

Being built for winter is nothing to be ashamed of.
