You're just going to the wrong bars.

Kagi is a pretty good search engine if you're a middle class nerd living in the bay area.

Wow that quotation really gets to the heart of it.

Getting your hair dyed a non-natural and highly visible color will also do this.

He's in another picture that made the rounds. I think burgundy suit in that one, he's strutting in front of a pricey car parked on a rough dirt road.

They're both giving him The Eye though.

That girl in the pic looks trans as hell and I'm here for it.

Faaaaaaaake

No thanks, I'd like an actual progressive for once.

They voted to censure Rep Tlaib for asking that the US stop helping to bomb her family members.

Democrats are fascists with a BLM sticker and a rainbow flag, and they're busy scraping off the rainbow flag.

My brother said something similar "I never shampoo and my hair doesn't stink".

My wife and I informed him that his hair stank, and that we had to launder the pillowcase immediately after he stayed over because it stank up the room and adjacent hallway the day after.

OP got used to his BO, I promise you the people around him know he does not use soap.

Hexbear is a bare-knuckle community that encourages group think and hair trigger mockery ("LIB!" and variations). In general, they bring that mentality wherever they go. It reminds me of the Goons from SomethingAwful in that way: you could spot a group of Goons regardless of the game, site, whatever.

Those communities can be fun (a supporters section at a football match, for example), but you have to go in ready to take a stray punch or two.

I have an account on another instance for when I want to be out in the world and suffer the slings and arrows and look at shitposts on !chapotraphouse. Sometimes I'm in the mood.

But I think part of the intended vibe of blahaj.zone is that it's somewhere that as highly marginalized people we can come and not expect to have slurs thrown around, 0-100 name calling criticism, etc.

The culture of hexbear is the opposite of that; it's not about not subscribing to !chapotraphouse, it's about how the instance approaches the whole idea of online interaction.
