if it is saved in your browser you can get it out of there and copy paste it into chapo.chat

https://toots.matapacos.dog/@hexbear

or I’m sure people will post on lemmygrad

But hopefully it doesn’t come to that and there is a smoothish transition from chapo.chat to the new domain

thank @makotech222 for that

only if you go to hexbear.net or an app on your computer or phone makes a request there in the background

how many years before we get cars with unskippable ads in them that automatically reroute your self-driving to burger king instead of taco bell if you don’t click to opt-out?

not the point but that fucking road is a 45mph zone (except when they activate the flashing beacons then everyone’s going to magically listen to the signs and slow down to 15mph)

america is a fucked up place

and the pole he hit is literally the stoplight on the bumpout for kids from the school to cross the street. because of course reducing the crossing distance from 90ft to 70ft solves that problem, nobody would ever speed down a shared center turn lane to bypass traffic

yes

the twitter post could be coincidence, I have no idea if that guy is a chapo head

but if the same was posted here I would assume they heard it on chapo

I don’t hate chapo but I’m glad we aren’t so focused on it anymore, its just not that interesting being like “oh that felix bit was hysterical”, “oh will’s trump impression is bad” multiple times a week for 5-10 years. I still listen when I feel like it, but its not my whole political universe, thank god

This exact story was also just on the latest chapo, this guy’s son is running for mayor of NYC now as a demsucc. small world (or this post was inspired by that)

The reason I initially got there was because white wasn’t labeled on the key for the map so my eyes gravitated to the other side where it was. I think in the context of Hexbear and with a little knowledge of the terms used it makes sense, but could be clearer if you plan to use it as propaganda to a broader audience. And I didn’t immediately connect that they were semi-unrelated sections, I assumed they were more inter-related. separating them differently would’ve been clearer to my eyes at least, vertical separation or separate images entirely.

honestly the chart is confusing, mainly because the same colors are used on the left hand spectrum and the right hand map, but with different meanings. (people in south america aren’t Usonians, I assume)

It’s also a bit confusing to me to only denote Guna Yala, not the lands of any other people

not sure I even totally understand what a ‘tankie’ is aside from the generally accepted definition

It has nothing to do with this photo or even China. It is a dated communist insult going back to the 50s when many communist parties were infighting or splitting over their differing opinions on the Soviet occupation of Budapest following the october 1956 revolt of nationalist and anti-communist forces. I believe it specifically arose from arguments within the CPGB. However the sense in which it is used by liberals against communists today has little to do with any of that, it’s a word barely clinging to any semblance of meaning, much like how “woke” is used by reactionaries

derogatory slang for an US-american

the etymology is confusing https://hexbear.net/comment/5647240

I wonder if that was our admins

That would be my guess. maybe just experimenting to see if that would remove the modlog entry?

Okay I went and read the full piece and his criticisms are weaker than I expected and not quite what I imagined them to be. I agree with him that there’s a resemblance to prior dem “lets see donny wriggle his way out of this one” court strategies that didn’t and likely won’t work (but are still worth doing in the background to delay and obstruct), and I also think he’s right that focusing on procedural minutiae in messaging to the public is not going to win anyone over (but of course it’s necessary to use those details in court), but he also presents the whole argument it in a way that is a bit less hostile to doge than I expected from him. Like the dems are bungling this but the comparison to russiagate is kinda inappropriate yeah

The part where it’s “carried over into our modlog” can’t be helped, except by defederating or major code changes.

it would be nice to be able to see what comes from our mods/admins vs those of other instances, but currently the anonymization of mod actions is all or nothing. Stuff in the modlog does not entail endorsement from our mods/admins but if its a persistent issue we can nominate instances for defedding.

edit: worth noting that instance admins should still be able to see who did what in the modlog, so we can still hold federated instances accountable for their mods, it just takes someone looking into it

Anyone have good tips on hiding chest growth in a way that isn’t stiflingly hot? I’m not too worried about it day to day but this summer I may end up at some family functions with family I have no interest in coming out to and am thinking that hoodies won’t work in those temps (I am pretty heavyset so it doesn’t really stand out much yet but still.) I might just send it, people are very oblivious, but if anyone’s got experience…

hoo boy this hits a little close to home

it’s probably like 2 if I’m being generous, I am not full “stalin shouldn’t have stopped at berlin” with anyone most of the time unless I’m feeling really spicy. Added bonus I’m queer and semi-closeted too, I’m an absolute mummy of different kinds of masking

Is the issue that you think the headline statement is wrong, or that comparing it to russiagate implies its entirely a fake issue/distraction from the real issues?

because I do think suing an agency that doesn’t even legally exist in GOP dominated courts is a waste of time, but not because the shit musk and his lackeys are doing isn’t deadly serious, it absolutely is

Thinking about becoming one of those people who gets disgusted and tells ppl to fuck off when they say “god bless” to me

I won’t because I mostly hear it from unhoused ppl tbh but people like this guy in the OP… fuck this guy
