Part of the reason I have autism in my name is so comrades I expect to be able to do so will not try to dunk on me for normal autistic behavior like caring about accuracy in rhetoric.
Please don't take a defensive stance and attack me like I'm some federated user (not that you all aren't obnoxiously agressive with federated users who havent actually earned it anyway sometimes, ive called it out a few times recently) spouting liberal rhetoric.
This is an obvious subtweet so fuck it i'm just going to screenshot what im talking about
In this thread I was arguing with the federated lib elsewhere, which was easy to see. But these two users here @Kieselguhr@hexbear.net and @ElHexo@hexbear.net decided to compare me to liberal fact checkers (liberal fact checkers use differences that dont actually matter to try to spin things as false, this is not what was happening here, as I wasnt trying to spin Kieselguhr as false, merely give them advice, AND the difference actually is material). Which frankly is an insulting comparison to make towards an autistic comrade. Then ElHexo decided to tell me information I already knew but wasnt relevant to the correction I made.
Fact checking isnt inherently wrong and playing fast and loose with information in your rhetoric isnt lib shit. Don't give people holes to gotcha you with lmao. Caring about truth is supposed to be one of our values. We are materialists. The fact that they got upbeared over me for this dunk bothers me too, wish I could see upbears so I could correct everyone involved in that too. Please, as leftists, care about truth and dont give liberals opening to gotcha you with. The fact that you've let the bad faith actions of liberal fact checkers start to make you post-truth is not a good sign. Readjust your thinking.
Finally, you really shouldnt approach any fellow Hexbear doing this by assuming bad faith like this, but especially not one with autism in the username. I was trying to improve rhetoric, not prove you wrong. Coming at me aggressively was not an appropriate response. We really should have an official rule of assuming good faith from fellow Hexbears. Especially long standing ones like myself, and ones who are open about being neurodiverse on top of that.
The sketch on the left is Yuji Horii, the main designer behind Dragon Quest, sending Toriyama a basic fantasy slime inspired by the western PC RPGs that he and his programmers were all into. Toriyama went "no, lets make it a funny little guy" and designed the iconic design on the right. With its memorable shape and face. And it became a series mascot that endures in Japan as one of the most iconic series mascots and printed Enix, and now Squarenix, a bajillion dollars.

If you like all three you have to settle arguments between Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, and Bablyon 5 fans.
Idk tho today's election results look pretty bad for the GOP lol. Just like the midterms did. Its possible that Joe himself will lose the presidency while GOP lose heavily elsewhere though? But like, the GOP is still dealing with a deflated base that got what they wanted in Dobbs and don't care anymore, and continue to run on culture war bullshit that noone actually cares about.
There's also the issue of RFK Jr, who is apparently mostly pulling votes from Trump.
Like yes absolutely 100% the genocide is going to deflate the zoomer vote* that helped Dems out so much in the midterms but I think the GOP is having electoral problems too, not the least of which that they support the Genocide too, which is going to make the whole thing a mess.
*Not to mention the Muslim vote which obviously tanked for good reason, and is a material thing in at least one swing state.
I'm surprised how relatively young she is (not even 60 yet) because it feels like she SHOULD be one of these ancient octogenarians still holding on to power but we're probably cursed to like another 20 years of her 
Lmao the Escapist owns the rights to ZP? IP is such bullshit.
Anyone else get struck with the feeling that any time we spend doing things OTHER than talking about the Genocide in Gaza is a moral failing in a sense? Like an understandable one because we have human limits, but still like. Any time I as an American spend not opposing my country's complicity in it especially?
Cis guy concerned about trans mass shooter becomes a mass shooter. Ok.
Guess he answered the "how often do you think about Ancient Rome" question.
The Unofficial Patches for Bethesda games prove this most effectively I think. Here we have a group of people working without profit motive to fix a game a corporation put out broken and never managed to fix themselves.
And I don't tend to play nice with bloodthirsty fascists
Thats our attitude as well. Your problem is that you think the people who have been historically proven to be better at fighting fascism are the actual fascists. Its enlightened centrist garbage.
No dont you understand Hexbear is an evil cabal who organizes raiding certain posts. What? You cant see that anywhere on their instance? Huh... they must be hiding it.... uh... somewhere.
They have the same basic endgoal. Also stop using the r word.
So I have a question coming from ignorance of Iranian politics. I see from searching that we are already having some shouting matches about Iran today lol so Im not excited but I need to ask.
I cant find any information about this so like, are the Reformists secretly pro-west or would they be less supportive of Israel or anything bad?
