In central Florida it's not uncommon to see 1 bedrooms and even studios priced a little under 1.6k, so if it's a huge mcmansion with your own bedroom and the cost includes utilities that seems about right.

I imagine this is common in many urban and nearby suburban areas across the country.

Millennial woman right here. Have a top 10 list for why I personally don't want kids:

  1. Even if I wanted kids, I wouldn't want to have them pre- successful working class revolution. A lot of people will probably die or at least be maimed, not to mention go homeless, before and during a revolution so yeah I'd rather not put an innocent little fucker through that.

  2. We aren't doing shit about climate disaster. I'd like there to at least be some solid plans put in place that can't be torn apart just because a chud became president again.

  3. I'm so fucking tired and anxious and depressed all the time. Even if my kid didn't inherit that genetically or pick some of it up by being raised by me, kids deserve better from their parents.

  4. My partner and I are both autistic and there's a good chance our kid would be too. Don't get too excited, I'm not saying this from a disgusting eugenics angle. I'm just saying that autism, with our current society, usually comes with extra alienation that can be really depressing and exhausting. Even if you luck out and have no learning disabilities and learn to mask really well, that too is it's own form of alienation that builds up the longer you do it as an adult. And if the kid had the kind of autism where they would be our financial dependent for the rest of their life, I don't think we could manage financially. We certainly wouldn't be able to build a nest egg for them to live off of by the time we both pass away.

  5. Again on us having autism. We'd lose our patience so quickly with a little kid that screams, shouts, gets sticky, pisses, shits, laughs and whines all the time. Our own kid would constantly overstimulate us and I'm afraid we'd yell at them a lot for little things and eventually burn out from parenthood.

  6. Personal financial responsibility was drilled into my head during most of my childhood, and while I can recognize that a lot of it was capitalist indoctrination passed down from generation to generation, I still am stuck seeing financial security in a very specific order. That order being Graduate High School > Graduate College > Start a Career > Marriage > Buy a House > Have Kids. If I were to follow those in order, then like many people I'm stuck on career. My partner has technically just started one, so let's count that and let's even assume we're really happy with each other and get married in the next year. You know where that leaves us? An awfully big step: Affording a house. And I know if we have kids before we have a house we'll probably be stuck renting for the rest of our lives. The annual expenses would simply be too high to even have an emergency savings, much less a house down payment.

  7. I can't afford medical costs for myself and procrastinate on health care constantly; I couldn't live with myself if I did the same thing to a kid. And if the kid doesn't come out completely healthy? I'd be setting them up for failure, maybe even a preventable death.

  8. Pregnancy is body horror. And I'm not even talking about the cosmetic "aww shucks I'll get stretch marks and fat and then no one will love me :(((((". I'm a fatass that already has stretch marks and my partner loves me regardless, so if anyone says that they're either incredibly young or holy shit that's a massive red flag on their partner's part. No when I say pregnancy is body horror I'm talking about teeth falling out, constantly puking, early balding, having your walk pattern permanently fucked up, pissing yourself from sneezing, hormonal hell, constant body aches, forcing an entire kid out of your womb, potentially getting surgery via C-Section, and oh yeah FUCKING DYING AFTER ALL THAT. And then I probably won't get to take more than a week off work AND EVEN THAT WILL BE UNPAID??? Fuck everything about pregnancy holy shit.

  9. What about adoption? I've heard mostly bad things about it even on Hexbear, so I'd rather not risk human trafficking. Even worse things about fostering. Also they do require you to make enough to support the kids soooooooooo no lol. Also I'm not paying someone else to go through pregnancy body horror on my behalf (even if I could afford it) just because "ooooooh wouldn't it be SO CUTE if our kid looked like us". Fuck that I don't care if my dependents are related to me by blood or not.

  10. NUMBER ONE TOP REASON POGCHAMPS:

    spoilerI just don't want a kid. I didn't want a kid when I was 5. I didn't want one when I was 10 or 15 or 20 either. I entertained the idea in my head multiple times but each time it just didn't make sense. It was never my dream. I used to chose stuffed animals over baby dolls as a kid and my mom joked about me becoming a crazy cat lady. I used to tell her that as long as I could pay the bills living by myself with cats actually sounded really nice. She'd scoff and say I'd learn eventually. Now I've got 2 little gremlin cats with no regrets, and as a bonus I even snagged an amazing partner that also only wants cats, and honestly I think my life is a lot happier for it.

Recently saw an ad for a place that advertised themselves as both "plant based friendly" and "meat lover friendly". undyne-disgust

I immediately reacted by saying "What kind of loser chud makes eating corpse a personality trait? Some sort of divorced dad quirk chungus that won't shut up about bacon 20 years after that stopped being even remotely funny on reddit??"

And then I realized I do the same shit with beans, even with my carnist coworkers. Hell, I even do it on here. A-Am I fucking cringe for being too into beans, or am I still based because beans are worth the attention?

Folks, I love me some video games, but as I get older I get pickier and pickier about the experience. Nowadays I need it both be my genre and be good quality. So when a game like Pokopia comes out that's a mine craft style city builder just like Dragon Quest Builders 2, and it gets really good reviews despite being a Pokemon game, well I just can't stop thinking about it.

My main issue is that I don't have a Switch 2, and holy shit I am not made of money so I'm probably never going to get one when the steam machine will offer a similar device with access to a full steam library. Pretty mad that my dusty old Switch can't play this thing even though it can handle DQB2 somewhat decently... ok fine it overheats and slows down as your builds get more advanced after the story ending but still. Pokopia even has a limited game share option with the original switch! There's no way Pokopia wouldn't be able to play on this thing considering how detailed DQB2 was and how much room they gave you to build. I put hundreds of hours into that absolute delight of a game that makes the big bold creative choice of never letting you skip the 50 hour story, so I would know.

So I'm just wondering what the best way to emulate Switch 2 games would be: Either a PC program or jail breaking one of my old Switches into playing Switch 2 games, if that's even possible. I used to pirate games like crazy, but I'm getting older and am a bit rusty nowadays. How would one go about it?

Looks like this wild story got buried during all the Epstein news, because it's the first I'm hearing of it. I'm sure it's not a coincidence that it makes Xi look good.

After a working class revolution here in the USA, it will be absolutely necessary to investigate every single mansion and to double-check every child living in them for signs of abuse.

About 2 weeks ago there was a disturbing post on the gaming comm: "Forgive me for I have reinstalled Overwatch". Now, while the poster only said an additional "I'm sorry." (I forgive you), several commenters had the absolute audacity to post things like the cool new jetpack cat character, "at least it's not League", and "Overwatch is a softcore pornography game". I shudder just remembering the excuses.

Well, it worked, because I'm ashamed to admit that I relapsed and got into Overwatch again. I... I knew the deal was sealed the moment I could link my old account and get all my old skins back from a decade ago. Not only that, but I tried playing with a controller, and it was awkward, but as soon as I switched to keyboard something snapped and my muscle memory came flooding back. I was playing like I never left. The old Symmetra and Torb might be gone, but damn can you still troll the shit out of people on casual play with DVA and Moira. And there are so many new characters to learn.

I had perfectly good games purchased from steam recently that are now collecting virtual dust. Sonic Racing? I played two cups with NPCs before leaving. Ball x Pit? Loved it, but I'm never going to 100% it now. 150+ hour addiction to Megabonk? I can't even remember the old metas, much less whatever the new abomination strat is. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't even remember Noelle's little pixelated face. (I will take responsibility for one personal failing: buying when I could have pirated, but that's an entirely different addiction, let's stay focused here people.)

I even bought a bundle of Sherlock Holmes games this year to try and get my brain to work properly again after severe work related burnout. Now my job can expect mediocre work for the same stagnant mediocre pay several dollars above state minimum wage that I've received for the last several years. Does my smol bean mega corporation deserve such a cruel long term punishment for one wittle project mismanagement that lead to multiple people quitting and being fired while upper management ended up mostly unscathed? I think deep down you know the answer.

And most lately, I've committed basically the same unforgivable sin as Eve did: I lead my they/them Adam equivalent partner to play Overwatch. "Yes honey, you can still be a Reaper main and spew edgelord character lines. It's perfectly normal." Never mind all the billionaire pedo stuff happening right now, I'M THE ONE NORMALIZING HELL. Lord, have Mercy on us... fuck SHIT not that Mercy, just regular mercy. Now we do quick play matches together, and I can't even complain about DPS not doing enough damage anymore. S-sometimes I even... leave my tank and support responsibilities and join the DPS. How do I fucking live with myself now??

Pray for us not to fall even further and start playing competitive, or we'll truly be past the point of no return. Overwatch: Not even once.

I'm sure there's a few of them out there, considering how much money is being spent, but I'm mostly interested in the idea that the ballroom is actually just a lid for a massive multi-layer basement data center for the president to do fucked up classified things with. I got it from a conspiracy theory youtuber that recently had a one hit wonder and I was curious if this was a silly niche conspiracy theory or if I've just been living under a rock and it-is-known

Some people can’t fall asleep at night because of anxiety or guilt. Me? I’ve got real important philosophical questions that maybe you can help me out with:

Let’s say, theoretically, that I visited Margaret Thatcher’s grave. And let’s say, very theoretically, that I tried waiting until everyone left but people kept coming in. Absolutely so privacy smh.

Now obviously I’m just there to make sure she rests in piss. But you see, I’m a bit of a shy pisser and the crowds are theoretically preventing me from unzipping and doing my thing. What I wanna know is, would it still be based if I pissed my pants while standing on top of Margaret Thatcher’s grave and a little of it dribbled down my legs and eventually touched the gravestone, or would it still be cringe to piss myself in public on purpose?

“Surely there are more options than exposing yourself and pissing yourself.” You immediately think. Ok, sure, let me add a few rules since there’s no way this theoretical yellow shower would be the first to water Thatcher’s grave flowers. Let’s assume there’s at least one plainclothes guard hiding in the crowd, a no eating or drinking rule (so good luck sneaking in a “lemonade” and pouring one out for respect), and that there’s at least one security camera recording the gravesite. Hear me out: If you piss yourself you could claim afterwards you were having a medical episode and possibly get away with it even if they identify you. Just don’t pisspog.

So the questions are:

  • Is pissing yourself on purpose in order to piss on Margaret Thatcher’s grave based?

  • If you were trying to get away with it, what’s a more effective way to do it? Consider the conditions listed above.

  • Am I a cowardly liberal for trying to get away with it and not just being a chad about it?

I see a lot of people at least joking about going vegan lately. I've been vegan for roughly.... ah, I want to say 4 years now? I lost track awhile ago. It was around the time the wreckers came to Hexbear and convinced a bunch of us to watch Dominion (highly recommend doing so btw, it's free online).

ANYWAYS, if you're interested in more than just shitposts and are seriously interested in veganism I was thinking I could help answer any questions you have. Comment here or send me a DM if you're blush shy. shy This comm has limits on what we can talk about btw, such as diet. And I think the whole website has restrictions on recommending specific brands of food? So DM for questions like that, thanks.

Like the title says. I just heard about it a few days ago from YouTube. It sounds really cute and gay, but I was wondering if it's just nostalgia bait or if they're actually achieving some sort of community over there. Also, whether there are a lot of leftists there or if they tend to get pushed out. Is it still up and thriving or did it peak a couple of years ago?

And uuuuh... if you made a cute lil website of your own, can I see? shy

Webfishing is Cool (hexbear.net)

Dumb story time from web fishing:

I join a server room titled as a women's zone

Convo is lighthearted talk about furries and how cringe is good and fun.

A man joins the conversation.

Convo turns to older gacha games.

Guy casually mentions he has spent 24k on gacha games.

He immediately gets dunked on.

I say he sounds like a spoiled cybertruck owner.

Dude gets mad not at the cybertruck comment, but at being called spoiled.

Says I don't know any better because he calls his work a career while I call mine a job.

He openly admits without anyone nudging him on that he's a 26 year old veteran that got free college and now gets paid 300k a year to program... if he's to be believed.

We start calling him a war criminal.

Guy thinks he can own me by buying games for the chat. I tell him I don't need his blood money.

Some gal gets like a $60 game for free and he tells me how owned and mad I am.

I tell him I would feel sorry for him being this lonely if he wasn't a war criminal.

Guy starts misgendering everyone that called him a war criminal.

He immediately gets kicked and everyone is relieved.

I get to stay and naturally the convo becomes a lot more relaxed and gay.
