My prediction is that "Rebel Moon" will have enough Snyder treat hogs needing to make excuses for it that there will be future "this is leftist, actually, because the Big Bad if you squint at it can actually look like nazis I guess" or even "the Synderesque Cornfield of Burgerland Sentimentality can look kind of like a commune if you squint and hold your breath long enough" or maybe just boil down to "let people enjoy things" thought terminating cliches, all the while the movie will push cartoonishly blatant up-yours-woke-moralists propaganda against straw communists. No one is immune to propaganda, least of all the "propaganda has no effect on me" believers, so I predict that'll be a struggle session.

I expect I will be told to touch grass a lot by that treat's future defenders if it has even a moderate amount of profitability, which would consequently make local hogs want to make excuses for it instead of admitting it's hog-feeding chud propaganda and just eating it anyway with acceptance, which I would respect somewhat more. feast

I'm truly impressed at how incomprehensible this post is to me. "Treat", "struggle", "hog" and "chud" all presumably mean something particular to you.

No insult intended - in-group slang is fun sometimes. It's just kinda cool to be presented with it - reminds me of the Weird Old Internet.

Wanna know the fun part? Even we're a little lost in this guy's posts sometimes. Not as much as a BMF post (or whatever alt account they're on now), but still.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Have I said anything that incomprehensible to you since this particular thread lately?

Just wondering if I can do a dril and turn a dial while watching the audience for approval.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing specific comes to mind, just "someone in X game fandom got me riled up" and even I, an inveterate g*mer, am like jesse-wtf

Best I can do is my recent comparison between Baldur's Gate 3 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Your posting is pretty great most of the time. You're a certified crank, every community needs one. That being said, calling one of the characters from Oppenheimer a "booba waifu" was the most jesse-wtf post you've ever made.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Emoji that at me all you want but Nolan decided to remove a lot of agency and relevance to women that contributed to essential parts of the Manhattan project, leaving mostly titillation and maudlin moments (and embellishments like "sex makes the protagonist feel like a god" when that quote came years after the moment).

I support your protracted people's war against the treats. But in all due respect, and don't take this personally, I think it comes across a little Quixotic sometimes because you make references to previous arguments where the person you're talking about is nowhere to be found in the thread, so it just looks like fighting windmills from an outsider perspective.

Having had no idea wtf rebel moon is, this post did come off very dril or maybe BMF-lite. But after you explained that detail it fell into place.

Normally it's not that there's any trouble understanding you, just that your posts come off far more intensely than I have ever felt about the topics in question. Which is a good thing, mind, they're always fun meow-hug

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I blame a sort of allergic reaction that I got from being too exposed to Reddit-style false politeness and wishy-washy statements.

treats = food/entertainment, derogatory

struggle = big argument on the site, generally called "struggle session"

hogs = the unwashed braying (usually) CHUD masses

CHUD = Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, fascists/other right wingers

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait I thought we were hogs feral-hog

I think hog just means anyone who consumes slop, which is to say, a consumer.

I'm using the slang loosely here, which is probably a mistake, especially when federated strangers see it and comment on it as they have.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Nah honestly just roll with it, we need to propagate our slang not restrain it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

My bad; I was using a lot of Hexbear insider slang.

Very brief translation: "Self-described leftists will want to make excuses for the blatant propaganda in an upcoming Snyder movie, because accepting a movie had bad messaging in it and still consuming it with acceptance is too hard for some people."

tomorrow i will start a struggle session that the entire bitter flavor group is a combination of addiction and toxic masculinity and nobody actually likes it

Just because cheeto-man's dumper wasn't in the mugshot doesn't mean the mugshot was mid

I wasn't paying attention. Did he actually turn himself in for a performative few minutes vaguely around a jail?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Not until this evening in the US

Former president Donald Trump is expected to leave his club in New Jersey later this afternoon with a coterie of aides, according to people familiar with the trip, and will turn himself in this evening.

Edit: Some people are saying 7 PM ET

Imagine that kind of delicate treatment for, say, a black kid caught with a joint. lmayo us-foreign-policy

I will continue like I always have: blissful ignorance of every struggle session, and then learning about them five months later because they flare up like herpes in random threads

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some might not believe it but I outright missed some pretty massive struggle sessions here because I was offline at the time, like the bidet one.

I wanted to read discussions about "China's zombie economy" but there ain't any.

Too nerd topic, next one will probably be about wet rocks again

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (7 children)

You think rock stacking has some legs left in it?

It might. It was an extraordinary level of "let people enjoy things" to get that touchy about the idea of "this does actual environmental damage so please don't do that; it costs you nothing not to and you don't lose pretty much anything by not doing it."

I think next year around the US presidential election, if we are still federated, is going to be wild. We are going to have a lot of folks around the fediverse screaming about how we need to vote

Someone makes a post about using the term "companion animals" in place of "pets," at least 800 comments or a locked thread lathe-of-heaven

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Beans.

Wait that's today's session subject. Hm, maybe debate over rain, cool or bad?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's an ongoing regional struggle session and kind of a given.

The weather, I mean.

jesse-wtf I have no idea what Rebel Moon is.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Imagine Star Wars, but done by Snyder so it's "mature" as he calls it (cheap blood and gore gimmicks and booba) and is now about scary matriarchal space commies and it takes place in a space cornfield.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can predict some amazing China struggle sessions coming in 2050, it's going to be great

Probably something to do with our flourishing trans comms. Some groups prefer the humor and memes to be more chill and happy, as it was in most reddit-logo subs. Other groups (including my friends and me) are a lot edgier with our trans humor. If both of these groups gain significant traction within hexbear it could lead to some intense fights IMO

Possibly the blood and soil NATO libs are about to have one over supporting Wagner again

It will be over whether chess is fun or important.
