I prefer to just cope with FF memory leaks and instability. But at least respect yourself enough to run a chromium fork that supports extensions. :(

Edit: or be Big Weird and "fix" half of firefox fuckery using betterfox user.js shit.

You can do e2e encryption over IRC iirc. SASL (or something newer at this point for all I know.) Can't really recommend it when defederated matrix servers exist as a modern alternative.

Buuuut you can run no-log encrypted IRC over TOR without hitting an exit node last time I checked, which is pretty comfy. Gotta trust your admins tho. Still super suboptimal compared to defed matrix using a non-default ident server.

Ah, a labor-force production potential backed currency, just as the founding father of the third reich intended.

Do it. Do it do it.

Stirner teaches us that if you take it, it is yours.

The ennui of watching meme music videos by myself knowing not even the fed assigned to monitor my posts is with me anymore.

Pants huh.

When I have the money to spend I like well fitting bootcut jeans in deep black or faded blue. But I rarely have the money to spend.

I wear a lot of old clothes I thrifted years ago, with a standout being some super faded purple corduroy jeans that are now pretty torn up and would be better suited to use as rags but I like them anyway. They're well worn in, comfy as a motherfucker. I could blend in as fully houseless when I wear them with some of my other stuff. Somehow they make me feel like an old timey frontier dwelling dyke- I can't explain it really, something about their totally shapeless form while being perfectly fitted to my waist, plus the wear and tear, makes me feel like I'm living on pure grit and determination without a care for aesthetics. In a strangely inverted way, that provides its own aesthetic pleasure.

When I'm expecting to get busy, and I don't say this with pride, I wear some 5.11 tactical SWAT pants. They are expensive and have many pockets. The material isn't even especially rugged, but they breathe well and are extremely functional. Too functional even. The fuck am I going to do with a gun retention loop in my back pocket? lol. Just kidding, the street finds its own uses for things, that loop is a neat little feature. I fear being read as a cop or a fed when I put these on. I have a matching shirt too. I feel like I give off fascist vibes when I combine them, so mostly I don't.

The most expensive pair of pants are my real stand on business shit though- they're locally made motorcycle jeans, very rugged, reinforced with kevlar. When I combine those with an armoured motorbike jacket I am almost incapable of feeling fear. I've come off skateboards at high speed and slid across intersections in that getup, and just bounced right back with all my skin intact. That's my riot armour for real. I think I could take a bat to the back without much worry. The jeans have a slot for knee protection but I don't have armour for that since I wear hard shell outer knee pads if I'm doing shenanigans I am too old for.

When I'm feeling super queer and baller I've got another pair of thrifteds that are also a sort of purpleish red, with a like, I dunno, big cat print pattern on them. I end up with ancom colour coordination by happy accident quite often. Another pair were gifted to me by a partner's mother who just bought us pants that don't really fit so well because I lack serious hips or butt to fill them out. But they look sick, also have a big cat pattern, in shades of grey and black. I need a belt with those to really rely on them and they fit my calves properly while the top stays loose, it's an odd sort of sag. I dig em though. I make them look good regardless.

I also still have pants from the early 2000s from before I transitioned. I don't really wear them anymore but it's like they were designed for shoplifting and that's how I used to use them. The awkward shuffle walk when you've got 6 cans of paint in various parts of your pants is a funny skill to have retained as an adult but hey. Old habits die hard.

But what I'm wearing most of all? Cheap as shit sweatpants. If I can get away with sweats, yo I'm just going comfy mode. Unfortunately most of my sweatpants are worn in the ass and have holes torn in them from doing tricks with my dog. I still wear them but I gotta make sure I'm wearing full coverage underwear or it gets a lil sus looking lol.

OH. And I cannot forget my stretch "denim" jeans that are absolutely shredded, patched with pieces of old band shirts, stitched with wool and written on with paint pens. I guess that's a crust punk sorta look. They are a statement piece, real DIY vibes. But they expose a lot of skin (at this point) so I only like to wear them when it's cold and I can layer them with some leggings, since I so rarely groom leg hair anymore. My dysphoria keeps me from feeling "pride" in my leg hair but that's not enough to push me to keep them shits silky smooth. Almost all of my pants are worn baggy, but these are skin tight and sexy as fuck.

The best pants is no pants though. Dresses rock. Again tho it's a leg hair and self care dependent equation. The winter months are much more versatile for me.

Yeah Chuck, any day now he'll do something irreversibly stupid and horrific. Anyway what's on the brunch menu?

Your story is interesting, as I suspected given your reaction to the ACAB reception your post provoked. Thanks for sharing, sincerely.

I know the frustration of being in a position to crash a system but recognising the futility of causing temporary minor disruption at the probable cost of your whole future.

Your wife sounds like a decent person. I can empathise with the intensity of your responses, even as I am amused at the absolute spiral into talking past each other that happened (and perhaps is still happening) elsewhere in the thread. I already know the fact that she's moved into HR could provoke even more hostility and shitposting and I suspect you do too, so I respect your transparency in sharing and urge you not to take the bait even if it looks particularly juicy.

At the beginning of time there was nothing. Then nothing happened. It never does.

 

I am currently comparing various copies I can find on libgen etc. Notably the differences in introductions between the different published editions- with more recent ones being significantly more sympathetic than the older ones, despite those newer introductions being published 20 years ago, not like today.

I want to read this book and I am a little concerned that I might unironically radicalise myself. Maybe it would be good to read it in installments alongside some of the community so we can discuss the validity of the thoughts within it and perhaps come to some consensus interpretation of what this manifesto means, how it applies in our current world, alongside our broader political positions, and what conclusions we might draw that don't necessarily lead to the same (apparent) genocidal desire that the author came to.

With the rising influence of loud voices calling for overt violence against and ownership of women's bodies, voices that carry to every corner of the internet connected English speaking world (and perhaps further) along with the rising boil of machismo and fascism as viable political ideologies and campaigning strategies.. well.. I think we have reason to be concerned.

I am trans and it took a long time for me to start to feel safe enough to put down my boxcutter. Now I'm concerned that I have grown complacent and I'm worried about not only my own safety but that of my community and all women in it.

I want to know what Valerie Solanas was thinking, how she connected her experience of victimhood to her ideology, how her thoughts led her to such extreme conclusions and why she just let it go and surrendered peacefully after plugging Warhol but failing to kill anyone.

I dunno. What do you guys think?

My thinking is that, maybe with some thoughtful consideration and the participation of some even-tempered posters, we could consume this material in a way that DOESN'T leave the more volatile of us primed to do something funny yet ultimately pointless.

As foul as the prominent bastards poisoning the minds of young men against us for easy money on the internet are, I wouldn't want any of you to martyr yourselves when there's a hundred more like them ready to step in and fill the vacuum.

I suppose I'm not THAT worried though. I just think this book has floated around in the back of my head since I first heard about it and read excerpts as a teenager. My recent reading suggests that it is also super prescient on a number of other issues.

I'm probably not the best person to actually organise a reading group type of thing but I could try if nobody else wanted to "run" the thing, but if there is interest in reading this together.

^ tell me that isn't a fucken vibe.

 

What if we turned hexbear into a reverse-honeypot for the feds and just wasted ALL their time.

We could start claiming responsibility and credit for various cool things around the world.

You know that guy who was going to bomb that substation with a drone? They got the wrong guy lmao. That was literally me IRL. Same with the "couple" that were shooting at them a few years before that. That was me too.

Have you guys done anything actually cool? like me? the one true threat to the establishment?

 

Some fire from Black Hippy before the TDE artists kind of mostly pursued solo projects and careers. I remember finding this right before M.A.A.D City dropped and was fkn obsessed watching the rise of Q and Kendrick and Ab's work etc.\

Totally worth looking up other Black Hippy Crew shit from back then, they have some funny impromptu cypher circle videos with like Q just being so blasted out of his mind that he's just mumbling along, then KDot just dropping pure heat, etc. It was a beautiful little moment in time for me as an online music enjoyer.\

Anyway I love this video and the song too.

 

I want freedom for this population
Two million prisoners living in this location
Shouting at the wall, but nothing is ever changing
That's life, under an occupation

This came out in 2021 for context. FUCK ISRAEL.

 

You sweatin? you nervous? why?
Cuz yo b**ch spittin my verses?
my beats break necks so bring a hearse
skinny sandn***a with a crew fulla turbans

I'll stop spamming old Skinny for now. Hope ya'll enjoy.

Officer, officer, officer
Who shot you down?
See I'm a criminal, criminal, criminal
From outta town

I like this song and the video is very beautiful and melancholy.

 

SAY I HIT A LICK
ALHAMDULILAH

Sidenote: pretty sure $kinny is a Saudi nepo baby but I'm not 100% sure, I've done a lot of damage to my memory over the years. He has some bangers tho.

 

HOG.

WASH.

 

I don't know why but one of my browser tabs has a twitter thread open that has a (I assume) fake pic of Putin, naked, fishing, with a cute little flacid micropenis.

There's nowhere appropriate to share that here, is there? I don't know what to do with this but I feel like it's selfish not to share.

 

I was trying to figure out why it clicks annoyingly when I set it to oscillate, so I tore it down to the scary AC motor bits and started cleaning it and trying to figure out what's going on with the mechanism.

Then I got sleepy and just half re-assembled it. Now I have the finger chopping danger-fan running and wow it is blasting so much air on the slowest setting without that cage around it.

So tempted to just leave it running in murder-configuration. I just know I'm gonna accidentally trip over and fall on it eventually. Hehehehhe.

Things like this are why I don't want my family visiting with their little kids. It's like the house that Jigsaw built in here sometimes. Nobody respects my concerns tho and I'm just the shithead who doesn't invite the fam over.

 

What determines if a moderation action shows up in the modlog or not?

Sometimes I'll see a post deleted by a mod but there won't be a corresponding modlog entry for it.

Is logging at the discretion of the mod at the time of the action or are certain types of moderation intentionally hidden for safety? Some quirk of federation?
