    This is just let’s kill Barney for cynical leftists

    Also what’s with the Mickey Mouse hate? Disney and Disney adults all suck, but Mickey is just a cute mouse. The Disney fandom doesn’t even give a shit about Mickey Mouse. Free my boy Mickey

  • And goddamn, that shit does not even *look* good does it. Like idk I sorta had this idea in my head that the cybertruck at least accomplished Elon’s dream of making a cool futuristic looking car, even if the functionality was shit, but wow he didn’t even do that. It looked like - you ever see those things on Instagram where artists take children’s drawings and make them into realistic looking artwork? It look’s like he took a child’s crappy drawing of a car and turned it into real life. It’s blocky, it looks clumsy and it has no sense of space. The original Tesla car I get. I’m not a car guy, but to me that’s what a “cool” car looks like. It’s shiny, it’s sleek, it looks luxurious. The cybertruck looks like Elon just went to a scrapyard, found a bunch of metal sheets and haphazardly strung them together. The whole car looks like it’s about to fall apart if you so much as touch it. It’s also extremely dull looking. Not only is it gray, but it’s an extremely dull gray. No sheen to it at all. I feel like the look Elon wanted was “imposing” and it doesn’t even accomplish that. I’m bigger than the car. And because it looks so crap and so fragile, there’s nothing imposing about it at all. Just buy an F150 or a big ass hummer if you really need an imposing looking car. Sorry for the rant but I’m just in shock at how shitty that car looked.

    I think the chickens coming home to roost gives people a bit of schadenfreude. Which I think is fine in the abstract, but when it becomes “I want to see these people suffer” yeah I agree, bad take.

    constipation, and idk it feels around/below my navel.

    beans idk, for some reason I thought they were too tough on a sensitive stomach. all that fiber I guess, idk

  • Yeah so I've been trying to go vegan all year and I'm pretty proud that I'm for all intents and purposes fully vegan at this point. Except I've been dealing with some stomach issues this past week or so, and unfortunately many of my go to stomachache recipes use chicken: plain chicken and rice, chicken soup, chicken broth, etc. I'm wondering what, as vegans, you all eat when you're dealing with stomach issues. I can generally stomach oatmeal, although not too much of it, and plain white bread, again not too much. Bananas are always a go to for me also. But I'm unsure of what else to eat - beans are out, I feel like most nuts are out? What do you all eat when dealing with stomach issues?

    It’ll only be for 6 months however (starting March 21, 2025) and is only due to the Antarctic polar night. Still very cool though, the old world is dying

    alright I'm sorry but P Diddy killed Aaliyah and Lisa Left Eye Lopes for Beyonce? Beyonce didn't meet Jay-Z until 2000, she was barely out of Destiny's Child and it'd be three years until her first solo album. Aaliyah died in 2001, you're telling me P Diddy killed Aaliyah who was beloved and a massive star for 18-year-old Beyonce who was also a star but hadn't yet proved herself as a solo artist? If P Diddy killed Aaliyah much more likely he did it for R Kelly or something.

    Also Left Eye is my favorite but there's no way her solo career was taking off in any way to challenge Beyonce, she was just a little too weird for the mainstream in the early 2000s. Even by the end of TLC they had pretty severely reduced her contributions. Her one album was canceled in the US for poor sales overseas, I don't see how that threatened Beyonce who still had not released an album yet.

    People just writing fanfic about their favorite celebrities at this point.

  • It's October 5th and it's 70F+ outside. The crickets are still out at night and it's really jarring with it being this warm out when it gets dark earlier.

    I'm still having to run my air conditioner at night. The only positive I can think of is at least we're having a period of actually tolerable temperatures after such an unbearable summer before it starts getting cold. But even last year I was having to start to run the heaters by mid-October, guess that's no longer the case moving forward.

    No, it must be because CERN destroyed the universe and now we're living inside the black hole that they created that's simultaneously also a simulation of a simulation of our old universe

    Obviously I know why railroads are often built on the banks of rivers - they offer a flat/low grade path that penetrates far inland, often through mountains that would pose great difficulty for railroads. And railroads are not the only transportation often built along rivers, roads are also often built along rivers for similar reasons. Although with roads theoretically there's more freedom to build them elsewhere since the flat/low grade isn't completely necessary, although it does make building them easier. Anyway, the reason I'm thinking about this is because I live on a fairly large river, and it always depresses me a bit that it's difficult to actually reach the water's edge because there's a railroad going along it for nearly the entire length. Only in a couple spots that there happens to be land on the other side of the tracks can I actually reach the water's edge. The other side of the river has a bit more parkland or undeveloped land on the riverbanks, but it's similar over there too - rail takes up a very large portion of the riverbank. I would never swim in the river or anything due to pollution, but the fact remains, it's really hard to enjoy and make use of the defining geographic feature in my area due to development. And not even "bad" development, but railroads! Anyway there's no real point to this post, I was just sitting around thinking about things and figured I'd post my thoughts here in case anyone wants to share their thoughts related to this.

    I'm moving out soon and I'm thinking of moving into this beautiful pre-war building. I'm worried though about covid spreading and I'm wondering what precautions people living in apartments currently are taking. Thing is I can find an apartment with a private entrance and in-unit wash/dryer, which would probably be better for covid, but this building is just nicer - better location, maintained better, it seems like the landlord is more present and responsive. Idk it's a better deal, I'm just worried about covid.

    Like a moment that seemed insignificant and unimportant at the time, but looking back was in fact a pivotal moment in pushing you towards radicalization. For me probably being introduced to Guitar Hero at my friend's house in like summer 2007. At the time it was just another day, but looking back I ended up falling in love with those games, I ended up being introduced to The Ramones and even more importantly the Dead Kennedys through them, which caused me to get into punk music and resulted in me adopting very critical attitudes towards larger American society, attitudes which later grew into anarchism and then Marxism

    Like I don't really use any other social media, but sometimes (like this past week) I venture outside of my hexbear bubble and I browse twitter, or reddit, or instagram, or tiktok, and *holy shit* I just browse those websites for a minute or two and feel worse about myself, worse about the world, it honestly seems like everyone on those sites is completely insufferable and every post is designed in some CIA laboratory to make me irrationally angry. Like look, sometimes we can all get annoyed at each other here, and I am no exception to that, and nowhere is perfect, but wow this place is 1000% better than like the majority of the internet, I honestly don't know how people go through life at this point browsing the regular internet.

    the way I see it - "upvotes," "likes" etc are just a digital form of the verbal validation someone would get irl. Like if you told a joke, people would laugh, smile. If you made a good point, people would nod, say "uh huh" or something. A thread would look pretty weird if someone wrote something funny and there were like 30 people underneath going "lol" and "haha" so that validation is replaced with likes and upvotes. People absolutely get too caught up with how many internet points they get, but idk I don't see that obsession as fundamentally different from being obsessed with social acceptance in general. We all have a desire to fit in and idk, I think it has the same root causes as someone who gets too caught up with trying to be funny irl or something. It's something we all have to work on, whether online or irl.
