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

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

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

 

Guess i shoulda put it on tankietube but my internet's too slow to upload again

 

like almost a week before. This is in a public chatroom too.

Idk, like I generally really like our mods and admins but this change doesn't really make a ton of sense to me and the way it was decided and messaged made it way worse.

 

Haven't finished this but even in the first few minutes I already heard something I've been feeling but hesitant to express, surrounding humility, something I feel is desperately lacking in some spaces. Much love to Varn, hope the rest of the video is as good as the opening, and hope he personally is alright

 

Damn this is cool

 

Talking about the "bucketing" where they first sell x% of tickets at a cheap price, then the next x% at a higher price, and on and on until its expensive as shit.

This is really demoralizing as someone who'd like to be a bit more spontaneous, and be able hop on a train out of town (which is running either way and never full...), the price I get offered is like double the price if I booked 3-4+ months out.

There must be a better system.

The video especially rubbed me the wrong way
