Well, of course they recognize those convention… Officially. Now they’re just making unofficial policy into official policy.

Alright, so which Geneva Convention just got silently executive ordered to be ignored in cases of use by the US or any of its allies. Especially Israel.

Generally I think it revolves around the normalization of really hateful thinking, both outside and within.

I never got too deep into it, and once /pol/ got overrun with literal Nazis I knew it was over, and it’s when I started distancing myself from it. Reddit was nominally better, and it took me from being this center right a-hole to at least a RadLib.

I always had an interest in Communism, but it was more “Tankie Aesthetic cool!” Than it was about “We must implement communism as it is the only way to save the world.”

Since no one ever was able to convince me that the USSR killed 6942002496 people a second, it and the awesomeness of Chapo Trap House eventually got me to where I am now: The only True Leftist.

It’s Texas.

4chan ruined my mental health and Reddit just helped keep it ruined. Getting banned from Reddit was the best thing that ever happened to me. Then I got rid of Twitter, I was off Facebook the moment they got rid of their original UI after they opened the website to everyone. One day I will permanently log off to become one with the grass, but not today.

Yeah, when I was dumb teen I spent time on…ugh… KotakuInAction.

At least it was a step up from hanging out on 4chan’s /b/ in its hey day.

The political equivalent of “I don’t care as long as both teams have fun!” During the Super Bowl.

Literally my thoughts, too.

hemllo sistemr! wemlcome to heamven. plemnty of snamck and no weimrd hamnds. vemry wow much peamceful!

Just so you know, I used to be an Admin/Overmod of this website. I was part of the initial vanguard that fought the bots. Downvotes were actually ruining the site. You couldn’t use hot or most upvoted to organize because of wrecker bots downvoting all the good stuff while up voting terrible things.

Now if you really dislike something instead of passively downvoting things now you have to communicate. This is bad for wreckers, CHUDs and Fascist cause it means the community can clean out the scum we don’t want here, especially if they are the usual kind who aren’t here to listen.

Gotta educate these youngsters on the history of this site lol.

It’s literally why we ditched the Down vote here on Hexbear. Because bots were down voting everything regardless of content and only up voting the things the bot was programmed to upvote. As such it became impossible to know what real users thought about stuff. By making it upvote only, we thoroughly decreased the amount of rigging outsiders can do to our Hexbear system™.

Soon they’ll get rid of likes all together because “People don’t like edgy comments, which makes it appear like people hate edgy comments, so to encourage edgy comments we are removing usernames, likes, and retweets.”

Basically just a chan board with a better DM system.

Just came out to my younger sisters, three days after coming out to my brothers and nibling.

Told my sisters over an hour ago… Neither of them have messaged me back yet…

Finally told some of my family members I’m trans, hoping I can tell my sisters and then Parents soon.

Very true, I mostly like it here because Medicaid is easy to get on and it covers a lot of trans healthcare, and other than some randos who look like they walked from Alabama, I don’t feel much transphobia around here.

Ever since the Democrats legalized weed, murder has now become legal too.

Yes.

But the joke in Colorado is that the Colorado River ends at the Bellagio Hotel.

My partner and I are going all out on a Manicure and pedicure.

Also I looked at my hands today, and for the first time I felt like they were my own. Can’t wait to see what a manicure does to them!

Cool. I did not know this. Thanks for educating.
