I’ll read through those threads sometime. I don’t think I’ll be commenting in that instance though. Maybe I’ll look around for a community that clicks better to interact with. I don’t really have questions off the top of my head, sorry. I don’t know what I don’t know.

“People I don’t agree with are lying in bad faith.”

I have no interest in talking to you.

Ok.

This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)

Hexbear is a community that expects you to conform. Every time there is a post like this, someone comes out of the woodwork and says “They’re nice people if you talk like them and agree with them on everything.” It’s cool that you’re not getting abused, but abuse is coming from that space, whether or not it is happening to you.

It’s a shame because I would like to hear the nuances of their viewpoints, but I can never get them to tell me what they are. Always complaining that nobody tries to understand, but dogpiling on anyone that asks questions. Then they pull up your report history and tell you “It’s just a little dunking bro, stop being a snowflake” for not putting up with it.

Users of Hexbear, if you’re reading these words, do better. Nobody is going to sympathize with your cause if you antagonize outsiders that want to learn more.

It really is incredible that we have a way now to fund the jobs that can only be created and performed by a select few individuals. We don’t need a corporation to create the job for us, someone with a specific skill shows up and society says “yeah we need one of those.”

Absolutely, just own up to it. Have the interviewers ask him why that’s become his nickname, he can share some background, maybe some anecdotes if he has any. Suddenly, Tampon Tim is a badge of honor.

Can someone PLEASE make a Tampon Tim shirt already??? I’m ready for the “FUCK Joe Biden” and “Say no to the ho” crowd to tell me my shirt is inappropriate around children.

Since we’re talking about mail:

What do I do with my old bills/insurance statements/etc? I have executive dysfunction and I just can’t find a simple method that works for me. It all ends up in a pile and every few months I pitch the whole thing and promise myself to do better next time. Perhaps there’s an app, website, or program I should just digitize them into?

Yeah, I’m doing my best to learn the concepts but I have a ways to go.

Horseshoe theory strikes again.

Like competitive games, but I don’t like overly competitive people.

I wish competitive games did a better job not only matching people of similar skill, but similar personalities. I know it’s just a bunch of pixels and numbers in a screen, why do you keep pairing me with these chuds that have no emotional maturity?

Some games have an option to search for a like-minded party type and it really should be a standard option.

The comedian would later go further in taking the piss out of himself, noting that “the funniest way for me to die is if I die from COVID” and reacting to criticism from Prince Harry about his anti-vaccine misinformation. “My first thought was: F—. Did I? I might’ve!” he declared, grinning. “But here’s my take on that, sincerely: If you’re getting your vaccine advice from me, is that really my fault?”

“That’s not my job, kids. I’m a professional s–t-talker, OK?” he offered up in his own defense. “Some of the things I say make sense. A lot of them don’t. It’s up to you to figure out what’s what. That’s the fun part.”

Oh FUCK off. If you didn’t want the responsibility of people listening to what you say, maybe you shouldn’t have a job broadcasting to an audience of millions. He thinks it’s funny that his vaccine conspiracies have almost certainly killed people.

Unfortunately, failing classes in public education is not at all common anymore. It requires a lot of documentation, meetings, calls, individualized curriculum adjustments, and a multitude of second chances. On top of that, administration is not a fan because it makes the school look bad in their eyes.

A lot of the teachers I worked with would vent their frustration that it was way too much work to fail a student or get them dropped from the program. Unfortunately, I was too busy figuring out how to update the curriculum from Windows 7, on machines built to run Windows 7, as well as just learning how to teach (my “training” was about half a day of sitting in on other classes), to fight that kind of battle. At some point, it’s a disservice to the rest of the class to spend that time and energy on the ones who are there to coast.

I tried my best. Hopefully everybody learned a few things. If nothing else, I certainly did.

The lack of etiquette is really frustrating. Had a tech student that was always putting in both earbuds as I was speaking. Had to walk over and wave my hand in front of the screen to get their attention.

When they graduated they said they were excited to get a job in the industry. Internally can’t help but think “with what knowledge or experience? You spent the entire class blocking it out.”

Water, probably.

Only a 1 in 1000 chance though.

Time to boot up Balatro again.

Interested to hear what you think are not “actual important rights.” Please elaborate.

Just using the term “faux sophistication” is faux sophistication if I’ve ever seen it.

This is what I’ve been saying lately - there is a massive opening for someone to do for CoD what Battlebit did for Battlefield. There are people who just want the old CoD multiplayer back without all the Warzone garbage and they would gladly pay for it.
