  I got it from the top comment’s source, which, it seems “claims” to be his story.

  People are dying. Evil has become institutionalized. Corporations make billions of dollars off the pain, suffering, death, and anguished cries in the night of millions of Americans.

  Based.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternatively, the government can own it and provide it at very low to no cost because they care about their people having somewhere to live.

  Sure, but the deed’s already done. At least may something good come out of it…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK IT UP⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised, with all the whale carcasses and roadkill bears, RFK Jr hasn’t already become patient zero for a pandemic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK IT UP⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, make psychedelics legal!

  This is the way. I vote op does this next year!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been assigned public service for the same offense when I could not pay my fine. I worked at a food shelter for a couple of days (sorting donations, packing bags with cans, etc) and was good. You may ask the judge or public defender if that’s an option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not familiar with the whole of the Sodom and Gamora tale - does it mention the devil and can you show me that part?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DarkPattern.games - a website that rates mobile games for their "dark patterns"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No ads unless you want to “pay” for a free revive. No micro transactions that I’ve seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve put at least 10 pieces of furniture out on the curb in the last 4 months and they’ve all been taken. It makes me glad that someone can use it.

  I didn’t know there was a non-mobile.

  I loved my DS Lite. It was so smooth and compact and could play GBA games. I also still play my 3ds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was an amazing read. My hometown was really similar, though maybe not as desolate. Lucky there was a college town close by so we could shop at some place that wasn’t Walmart. This really does sum it up, though, the appeal of Trump out of these smaller rural communities. I like the message at the end, too. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

  This is a nice shot. I mean, I guess I’ll have to go check out the fetlife ones to see more of this quality photography.

  Also, I’m so salty that someone downvoted all the comments. I know I shouldn’t be but I am.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see you’re not a hexbear, but this is a post in a .world comm where even enlightened takes on liberals such as yours aren’t always welcome. Anyway, thanks for the chat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for clearing that up. Also, I find it ironic talking to another leftist on the Hexbear hate thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see US liberals as defending both social and economic policies. Here are some examples I can think of:

  • Supporting unions but also not cracking down on union busting as much as they should
  • Wanting universal healthcare solutions (Obamacare) while not wanting Medicare for all or proper socialized medicine.

  I am just speaking to what I observe, but I think the trick the liberal party in my country play is a show of being “for the people” and giving concessions but, in the end, being absolutely capitalist motivated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, I’m an American where liberals are actually centrists, but can you explain to me what else is off-base about this chart?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is one of the few instances my instance is defederated from, so I haven’t had much interaction with them. I can speak about Hexbear because I see their posts and interact with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree but I would rather think this is just this guys downtime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my philosophy as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad your instance stayed federated because I’ve seen some good takes from lemm.ee users on hexbear threads! 🥰

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy knows nothing of the political spectrum. Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for saying this in a more detailed way than I have been. This is exactly right. They built their own leftist haven and became a whole culture of their own, and then became federated. There is bound to be an initial clash, but honestly I think most of the people who hate on them never gave them a chance. All they saw were the shitposts and the in-jokes and you closed the door.

  When it comes to dealing with HB users here, my advice is the exact same as dealing with other users

  • if you don’t like what someone is saying (because it’s idiotic, obstrusive, or whatever), block the person for some peace of mind.

  • if you’re consistently uninterested on the content coming from an instance, block the instance.

  I see a lot of leftists (and leaning leftists), even on .world, who would be better off interacting with the users there (maybe blocking the shitposting comms). And outside of those most-seen comms (chapotraphouse and dunk_tank), there is genuine conversation and less shit talking and in-jokes. I believe, with more instances coming in that are federated with them (mine, .ml, and lem.ee? are a couple), some of the Hex-natives are understanding how to interact with curious left-leaning people with unintentionally wrong-headed ideas.

  Downvote me all you want, I stand by Hexbear. o7

  I watch it is for like the first 5 eps and then I don’t. I wanna get to the action!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you skip Star Trek intros when streaming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Season 3 had the new intro (I’m watching it now) and it was a better version, but still a corny rock ballad so I still am a meh/10.
