I am enjoying this so fucking much. Almost as much as I enjoyed Houseki no Kuni, which I still think is probably one of the best damn shows since the 90s.

Manga readers might tell me I'm wrong about this as I don't really know where this show is going to go. But at the moment I'm sort of seeing it as a take on the neurodiverse, there's a fascinating thing about how Frieren just processes everything differently to other people, not in a bad way, she's just different, and understanding that difference is something to be positive about rather than negative.

I dunno I don't really have many thoughts beyond that at the moment and also don't really want to spoil the show for others. But I can't get over how willing the show is to just be.... Slow. To just chill and dwell in a moment, to let the audience have some silence or to soak up a mood. There's a vibe to it that just works.

Good show, watch it.

My assumption is that I found it here but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I want to find it again.

The 6 image rate limit has just caused me to not bother posting a comment I was trying to make. I did the same 2 days ago when I hit it after putting effort into a comment. There's a tonne of stuff popping off in Israel right now that I could/would have thrown in the news thread but after hitting the limit and realising I've only gotten half of the stuff I needed to upload done it's just a case of "oh i guess I can't post that" and also now can't post anything else without jumping through hoops. Obviously I could jump through hoops but a bunch of Palestinian propaganda content is likely to get removed uploaded anywhere else and hitting this wall just completely demotivates posting entirely.

Like, 10 would be a better limit. I don't think I've ever done anything where I'd hit that. 6 is not enough if it'll be hit every few days and ruin someone's effort.

Until today I had an animated profile picture, changed it for owl appreciation day and now I it won't let me re-use the profile picture I had?

It's even there on the server @ https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/49d5c974-6784-446d-af10-5c369c7781c7.webp?format=webp

But if I try to add it to my profile picture again, it fails.

If I had been warned about this I would not have ever changed it. Give it back :(

EDIT: Solution - https://hexbear.net/comment/3855898

Open your ublock Origin dashboard and add the following 4 lines:


youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

You're welcome.

Yeah it's incredibly awful. Why the fuck would anyone say that?

You think people here have been secretly pretending to be queer for THREE FUCKING YEARS just to infiltrate your new queer space? Come on. The left has been doing queer politics a hell of a lot longer than liberals have.

Be gay. Do crime.

I was already having a conversation with Sun over PM when he made the post. Which is why I was one of the first here. We've been talking for several days and generally having a nice time.

There is a difference between calling someone subhuman which is the rhetoric of people that believe that various races of humanity are more human than others(fascist master race rhetoric) vs calls to eat the rich through the use of guillotine memes. The latter is just radical and militant activism. The former is fascist rhetoric. The latter also has a place in mainstream society already as something that is regularly the centerpiece of art.

Stating that my people (and other Baltic nations) are subhuman

As a member of Hexbear for 3+ years I just want to say that this isn't acceptable over here and would land people with a very serious reprimand or a permaban if they don't admit to being in the wrong for this. The use of "subhuman" in particular is fascist behaviour and I'd assume it is wreckers rather than longstanding members, it's not language that socialists are fond of.

The only other thing I will say is that I genuinely appreciate that you're building this community with your userbase and having these conversations, it's the correct way to create a unique community culture and have people care about the space.

Holy fucking shit they're blocking piracy? What a bunch of losers. Get off the anti-corporate platform built on copyleft principles if you have a problem with piracy.

Certain groups in the US have been building up to this for a while. They genuinely do want a war with Mexico. They've been trying to use drugs as an excuse to do it.

Here is an excellent video going into this when it all started to get quite serious and AMLO (mexican president) started to aggressively fight back against it: https://youtu.be/3dw1pcDoewY

He's also called the american media sphere trying to build up to this fascistic "hitlerismo", comparing american media to goebbels.

We're posters. We're active.

posting

Honestly if reading views that are different to your own in posts that reach the federation /all/ page is a problem why leave reddit? One of the best things about this place is it NOT being a bubble of liberal-only thought where people jerk each other off all the time. Have conversations with us, realise that we have evidence for everything we say. I'm happy to chat to anyone.

Brigading is whenever a Hexbear user uses the site like literally everybody else that got here.

I think it's because the people motivated enough to respond here are always doing so because they were triggered. The normal people aren't triggered. They might read a bit of the struggle session and say nothing. That's all.

Eventually over time those people became members of CTH back in the day. So give it time. I have noticed that we've gone up by about 100 active users per day in the last week. Many of these are probably chapos dragged out of their hole by the entertainment of the battles happening on /all/ but I also suspect we are attracting a few people.

I am hopeful that lemmyworld's problems continue indefinitely until lemm.ee takes the leadership role as it seems run by people of sounder mind. Their moderation of hate is stronger, transphobia is better, and they're not banning the socialists. It's the one we ought to promote.

Girls Last Tour, in case anyone was wondering.

Good show, watch it.

Disgusting waste of lives.

All of this should have fucking ended but Boris Johnson fucked it all. Fuck him and fuck all the liberals that have been spewing bloodthirsty vile shit calling for tens of thousands of lives to be wasted in a fucking meatgrinder for some lines on a map. I do not give a fuck about the Ukrainian state, I do not give a fuck about the Russian state. Lines on a map are not people.

These people deserved better than bloodthirsty assholes.

If you think China's economy is a time bomb wait til you hear about what it means when the dollar is no longer the reserve currency around the world.

Ok so community banners and icons are now working.

What I've put up at the moment are temporary. We need some good ones, especially for the icon as this is what will be seen by others once federated.

We are now taking submissions and suggestions if anyone wants to have a stab at it.
