It’s an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.
Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:
payday groceries.exe steak on sale dinner.exe
It’s being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the “It’s dangerous to go alone…” meme.
But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.
I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.
- Comment on Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? 2 days ago:
All the lukewarm attempts to help, rooted in shallow understanding, reinforced my suicidal ideation. What’s the value of false love from a paid hotline worker one will never speak to again? It’s negative.
Be ready to love the shit out of someone yourself. Share their sorrow. Don’t try to fix it. Just try to understand. It’ll fucking suck. The other person knows it sucks for you. Tell them it sucks and that you’re choosing it.

You delivered nonsense without even considering semantic. You felt entitled to others figuring it out for you. And, you were rejected due to your lack of effort.
I’ll now reject you for gaslighting me about your comments, which I’ve read, and the follow up strawman.
It’s simply not good enough. I don’t care why. But, I know you’ve nothing to contribute but practice material for identifying logical fallacy.

You’ve forgotten to mention the minority that did not agree and how strongly they believed they were correct. You’ve seemingly not considered that democracy’s best case scenario is mediocrity.
We will not be led by or stagnate upon popularity among the lumpen. Democracy be damned when faced with such a threat. We did what the majority could not do.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Predictable responses, now assigning me intent. I’ll no longer disturb your comfortable order. Best of luck, neolib.

Did I fault your content or your presentation of it?
Nice strawman. You just can’t help yourself.

Here’s the vote that approved the granular instance-by-instance approach
And then what happened? It seems like you were present for awhile but perhaps not in the trenches, through the OpSec, and to the end.
What?
Indeed.
Are you describing the consensus building and struggle sessions as “forcing the wisest decision on everyone”?
Q: Why did hexbear brigade the fediverse?
A: Certainly for the lulz. /s
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Definitely not a neolib
Language analysis of your post history says differently. If you’re not a neolib troll then perhaps you should stop presenting as such.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Yes.
If I invest effort into figuring it out for myself and demonstrate that effort in the quality of my questions then nearly every teacher will at least match my investment. In the US teachers are so starved for good students that one-on-one education is free, from philosophy professors to diesel mechanics. One doesn’t even need be past the “nonsense” stage, only recognize their status and ask what pieces of the puzzle they’re missing.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Hexbear was the only lemmy for 4 years, over that time their code base diverged, it took a few months to make federation possible again… a lot of users opposed federation concerns about harassment or just valuing one of the few leftist communities. The end result was slow federation, with users suggesting specific instances to federate with, and instances getting defederated if the admins failed to take adequate action against transphobes/chasers.
Now there’s two of us that are speaking truth.
Half this thread is hexbears and others telling people exactly what they believe about random topics.
Are they? That wouldn’t be thematically consistent with their years of telling others what they’d like to hear for their entertainment. Their culture is selfish in that way.
There was never a consensus on whether HB should be segregated
There was never formal consensus in that leadership repeatedly denied the vote, favoring a granular, instance-by-instance approach.
What are you talking about?
An organized, grassroots movement that employed questionable means to force the wisest decision upon leadership and everyone else.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Hello, low effort neolib troll. Thanks for the opportunity to continue to speak truth.
There’s a cultural similarity to what 4-chan was prior to the LOIC. But, they’re definitely not tankies. Sincere expressions of authoritarian means are soundly defeated and unusually result in permabans. The principle and practice is consistent for MAGA, neolibs, and authoritarians.

You can’t deliver garbage writing to communists and expect positive results. The standard of semantics and nuance are set by socio-economic authors predominantly from the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Prerequisite to even speaking is a comprehensive understanding of at least The Conquest of Bread. One is expected to have the ability to segregate content from presentation and ideology from means of implementation. It’s as if you walked into university dynamics and poorly presented an algebra-based approach to a single body problem.
In certain forums, unless I’m very well-informed about a topic, I’ve learned to shut the fuck up unless asking questions, and to ask them with humility. In communist forums, which always stress education, I consistently receive high quality answers.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Also, post is not a genuine question.
I’ll answer yours in good faith.
what else do you expect them to do? Sit and politely agree?
Internally reach consensus to segregate themselves, then brigade the fediverse whole with content that allowed the majority to believe it was their choice.
Because such actions are well outside of status quo want for bandwagon validation they’re by definition “insane” and “unexpected”. But, the hexbear community is well aware that the majority is better off not yet knowing what they believe. Many expected such actions as it was an obvious moral and ethical imperative that lacked internal leadership support.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Based on this interaction I’ve realized my perception of lemmygrad is hypocritical: My experience indicates that our shallow, automated and wide scope language analysis likely isn’t human truth. I’ve decided to spend more time there.
Thank you for risking good faith engagement when it’s not popular or politic. Iron sharpens iron.
- Comment on Anon finds the secret to losing weight 1 week ago:
I’d never worked out in my life. So, I visited many gyms, found a mom & pop, and hired the trainer free from corporate constraints.
My second session he said, “You might be better off doing bodyweight exercises at home for a few weeks.”
I told him that there was absolutely no way I’d form this habit by myself. I needed him to hold me accountable. I needed a routine.
We did bodyweight exercises at the gym for a few weeks. We set goals of a certain number of push ups, (band assisted) pull ups, sit ups, and (I forgot the name of the hamstring exercise) to “earn” my way back to the machines and free weights.
I can definitely understand how a trainer could get frustrated with an individual. But, a trainer that sends a noob home simply sucks. They should at least provide a referral to another trainer.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
I’ve perceived only good faith from your posts. I apologize if I’ve not demonstrated that in my responses. It’s difficult to do here.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
when I see financing like that but looking at like that isn’t incorrect
None of the devs got paid. There are no other expenses.
I normally expect people who hold sympathies towards hexbear to use an account on like lemm.ee so they don’t have to use more than one account to browse everything they want to see
You expect the convenient implementation of MLK’s white moderate. But, my content should give no indication of that stereotype.
I’ll answer your previous question: I’ve personal accounts on world, ee, ml, and hexbear. The fediverse doesn’t limit viewing content from multiple accounts concurrently. One must only choose an account to post. The only obstacle to such a tool is a means to avoid burdening the fediverse with duplicate responses. We solved that problem in a few hours.
If you want actual insight communicated properly then you should ask in the correct venue. For example, I’d have no issue explaining in nuance on hexbear because the majority has a strong understanding or conversion of theory to praxis. I’m not even needed. Others would adequately explain on my behalf.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
I don’t think they really helped with the financing
All the computational resources the users tested the code base on must’ve been free.
I’m surprised to see a sympathetic comment like this from an account on an instance that has them defederated
Identity politics from .ml?
If you’re surprised at such small acts of individual praxis, you’d be amazed at what we’ve accomplished in groups.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
The best example I’ve experienced online is hexbear’s process to derive forum ruleset with respect to their minority of GLBTQ+. The consensus was that many understood and that those that did not would follow in faith, assuming that they would soon understand. The second best online example was the GME subreddits’ cultural response to initial scaling. The consensus was that each should individually choose and the collective’s purpose was to educate, this strengthening individual wisdom.
But, my guidance would be to first pursue such things in real life. A leftist’s best work is almost always grassroots local.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Probably also wrote off the Bible due to the implementation of the followers. That’s too bad.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Yes, please read what the admin says about where the bigoted users originate and the actions of the hexbear mods in response. It certainly speaks for itself.

Ad hominem is literally the best you had when confronted with facts that didn’t fit the shallow narrative you chose.

Young Stalin is where the good stuff is. It’s his implementation of those idealistic principles that’s unethical.
The rest of what you’ve said is strawman. Most important is the implying that they’re all of one mind. Diversity of ideology is perhaps their greatest strength.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
There’s much to learn from Stalin. But, advocating his authoritarian means is a bannable offense there just as they are in any meritable leftist forum. They tolerate a minority of revolutionaries ideologically leading the lumpen as it’s a historically very well-supoorted position. But, that doesn’t extend to physical force as that’s also a historically very well supported position.
It’s much easier, convenient, and comfortable to demonized them than understand them. They even provided proactive assistance when many were deciding if they should defederate. They voted internally for defederation to defend their community from the medicrity of the masses.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 week ago:
Seeing the ban coming, they financed and suffered alpha and beta of the Lemmy platform we all enjoy. Then, they chose to become the most GLBTQ+ friendly destination on the internet.
As it’s always been, they cope with the horrible events with satirical, sarcastic humor. And, in the middle of that will be a well-reasoned, nuanced, and quite serious post.
But, perhaps the part I love most is the struggle sessions. The entire community will heavily focus on a current topic, then hash it out with good faith discussion.
Their shit isn’t convenient or comfortable. It’s not easy to understand. And, I ficking love them for it.
- Comment on Why is there so much hype around artificial intelligence? 1 week ago:
If by “best practical” you meant “best unmitigated capitalist profit optimization” or “most common”, then sure, “malicious manipulation” is the answer. That’s what literally everything else is designed for.
- Comment on People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam 1 week ago:
This is common in US motels and some hotels. It’s supposed to say that one should put their towel on the floor, rather than the rack, to have it replaced.

To be honest linking something like meat to death of people is like saying everybody that breathed air died.
“Service”. You’ll be remembered as “the beginning of the end”.

More likely someone expressed good will and shallow misunderstanding, then you didn’t like what I had to say about apathy and sacrifice.
