Can anyone give me the lowdown on these folks? I like that they're a Marxist-Leninist org, in theory.

What's their vibe, what's the leadership like, local chapters etc.

Video essays about games used to be cool. Now it seems like thats the only video essays new people put out.

Why?

I'm assuming just because it's low hanging fruit and an easily accessible from of pop culture?

Regardless it's getting to be too much. It's no longer interesting if every other video is trying to be deep and analytical about video games.

I really like playing games, just there's too many video essays on them now.

I'm mainly concerned with this recent development on the shark instance between friend of the show and soulist, mindtraveller and hexbear-hater linkopenschest realizing why an instance that is anti-tankie will eventually purge all serious leftists.

Full results here.

Trump thinks mispronouncing Kamala Harris' name is a good attack route.

On this day, 4 years ago the site was first launched (then a day later the first post made), Formed from chapotraphouse remnants, the old admins decided to make a site using Lemmy as its base. Originally called chapo.chat, Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.

Despite various sitewide struggle sessions, wrecker incursions from other forums and federation drama, Hexbear has keep growing strong in its 4th year, now with 4 megathreads, over 4 million comments, 300k posts and much more.

It's really cool seeing all this old stuff. These are still downloadable, by the way.

I have been propositioned by swingers quite a bit. It's to the point that if a couple is nice to me, I start getting suspicious. This has happened with acquaintances, long-time friends, people I've met at a party, co-workers, and even strangers at the beach. Three times that I can remember off the top of my head, they propositioned me and my girlfriend at the time (separate girls many years apart). Is this a normal thing? What about me could make me attractive to swinger couples?

I'm a cis-gendered straight male. As far as physical attractiveness, I would say I'm slightly above average based on what women have told me and how they treat me.
