congrats to you and Er

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago

This is one of the reasons I wanted to post it. It seemed like there were some that might not have seen the original (I specifically thought you)

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 29 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This must be what it feels like to be an Old Bolshevik purged from the party.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 22 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Users used to always cite me as the #1 power poster and I guess not anymore and thank god that title gave me anxiety lol, hexbear is my hangout spot not my job.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I motion for the Admins to remove your ability to delete your account or log out. Get back in the posting mines

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

I'm never getting out of this hole alive.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dort owl wasn’t qualified to be in charge of aviation because they’re a dirty little bird who prefers to hop around on the ground. Disgraceful.

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I thought that "Is a pilot" was a slightly better argument than "is owl"

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Understandable

[–] LaBellaLotta@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

NO ONE grabbed chairman of the committee on state security? Do we not know the Trueanon rules here?! I volunteer for the position!

[–] LaBellaLotta@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

Internal Affairs and State Security are not the same.

Stuff like this is incredibly cringe and I say that as someone who’s been here since day one. Anyway have fun I guess.

I volunteer to be minister of light industry. I’ve been changing all the light bulbs since I was 12 and my father weaponized his incompetence by refusing to flip switches before putting in the new bulb and popping several in the process.

I welcome our new leadership cadre

Shit is about to get cool, and really weird. stalin-shining

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was difficult picking between you and Tervell for M. of the Red Army. But putting the jarheads in charge of the military was funny.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I look forward to fulfilling the bit! Coloring books and crayons are already being put into new MRE shipments.

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just make sure the crayons are non-toxic, you never know what one of their favourite flavours are going to be.

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Can you edit RedCuban in there somewhere? Why not Deputy Chairman because he's Deputy power poster in 72's Newsmegas.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

I work in sales now I should totally be minister of finance. I will only spend most of our money on beer.
