i’d make a joke about how the quality of hexbear discourse can be tracked as inversely proportional to the amount of hasan gotchas that get posted but honestly these posts hold up half the site these days

we need the voros twins to make a short form series on Da Kapital to truly get people to understand theory

one of, it not the only, idle-roguelike out there

also the longer it goes the more colours are on screen the prettier it gets which is

also omits 6:16 in LA

other people have already covered other aspects of this, but I’ll chime in on that last point - knowing the person or not after they transition shouldn’t really factor into it once you find out they’ve transitioned (apart from obviously having to clarify who you’re talking about to e.g. your family but in an ideal world that would be a one time thing).

I’d also add that while you will find trans people who are somewhere between ‘ok’ and ‘cool’ with using their deadname to refer to pre-transition, I think it’d be hard to find someone who would be adamant about using one name before and another name after - on the other hand it’s pretty easy to find a lot of people who will not want to be referred to in that way at all, and all things considered I would look to respect her wishes even if you no longer know her.

TRUE Booklength

MAN-HUNGRY, OFF-LIMITS FRAULEIN

what did they mean by this

I will admit, i’m thinking less like the specific covers in the pic and more the like wraps and stuff that come in rolls but i think it applies to both

i think part of it was customisation, since you and most other kids would likely have the same books from the booklist so it would be easier to tell each one apart when you’re in class

also i think another part is that school books are going in and out of bags a lot, and the exposed thin (in the case of softcover) or thick (in the case of hardcover) cardboard was liable to get damaged/frayed/bent, and so giving the cover a bit more structure cos of the plastic doesn’t seem like a bad idea

common misconception, those are schools that were founded by educational icon Kelsey “Frasier” Grammer

Grammar is just the angloid spelling

we should open a c/conservative while we’re at it, considering there are millions of conservatives around the world that don’t follow the ‘yankoid’ Republican party and have their own personal conservative beliefs. I’m sure there are many who aren’t transphobic - it’s not like there’s a doctrine to being right wing

after all, it would be naive to not reach across the table on our path to communism

or maybe a c/police, not everybody has had the american cop experience - there are good cops out there who don’t support the bad cops, they should be given space too

you guys just dont get it, this is my comfort belief system - I’m sure we can cut out the bad parts of it, you see I’m a good Christian, you can trust me

it’s a very well known and widely held opinion on hexbear that you can simply reform problems out of archaic and failing systems, just don’t look at the bad actors those guys don’t count

also neither do the millions of people using my religion as a shield for their bigotry, they don’t count either - unless we’re arguing for why we need to be soft on religion, in which case they totally count and you are being very naive to exclude them

also if you bring them up as a reason why these things shouldn’t be finding such support on a website that bills itself as welcoming to the oppressed you are personally attacking me and the immaterial beliefs that I need to help me cope with the material reality we live in, which I find to be very marxist of me

to be fair, the creator/writer has said that he formulated the plot while he was working in an office - they might not have set out to strictly write a show purely critiquing labour from a marxist perspective, but at the same time it does seem like a natural conclusion that the show arrives at based on how the show tries to tie so many threads back to the alienation at the base of the concept

i always think i’m a good programmer and then i see some open-sourced code some folks did in their spare time that blows my mind and I realise i still know nothing a decade into coding lmao

this looks really cool, i might see what i can do to help out/if there’s anything worth adding to the repo at some point :))

why is always when some shit like this gets posted i see a bunch of reactionary comments on hexbear like ‘oh well i guess we all have to date someone born the same SECOND as us HUH? I better tell my WIFE I’m a P*DO because there’s two years between us!!’ like come the fuck on

i get it, idpol’s gone wild and the youth are nutso but do you really have to throw out the nuance?? maybe i’m misreading things but it feels like some of yall get really defensive when this topic comes up, and as a result we can never have any valid discussion about this topic without someone throwing some reddit-level bad faith thing at you for saying ‘yes, there is some truth to age-gap discourse’

people who are disabled, old people, people with textural issues

but im glad you responded in good faith to what i was saying and found a way we can just dismiss them all

plenty of people have problems chewing or digesting food, which is why they’d go for something softer and guaranteed to be safer like boneless chicken

so long as we acknowledge that bad things are bad and no one gets blamed for it, we’ll never have to understand why these things happen and by God I’ll do whatever it takes to keep it that way!!!

fuck leaving the cave !!! all my homies hate understanding the world 😤😤😤

again, its just very clear you have no clue what graphic design involves, let alone anything else to do with the creative process

art really is just ‘pretty picture’ innit

its very evident from their other replies that their metric for ‘good’ art is ‘is it beautiful?’ and their definition of ‘beauty’, in turn, is simply ‘does looking at this release dopamine or not’

deeply unserious person

that doesn’t answer my question though - what are you defining as a mediocre artist? or is anything that doesn’t fit the ‘hyper realistic AI’ look count as mediocre?
