I genuinely don't understand why this person is complaining about wild leftist posting when midwest.social is also an explicitly leftist server. Maybe I'll come to eat my words, but I really don't think you guys are that out of pocket, and there's usually just as much effort-posting as PPBs. I just don't see the problem.

May your relationship with alcohol remain as healthy as your posting, which is fit as fuck.

Ikr, I got to that last sentence and was impressed! Especially after the preceding paragraph. Great stuff.

Where does MLK fit in there? He may not have literally used lib as a slur, but he wasn't shy about seeing them as an impediment to progress.

Were you a redditor? If so, you might remember r/chapotraphouse getting banned - they had been quarantined for quite a while before that, so they were ready to migrate when the ban came down. Idk if Hexbear is the first/only place they went or just where most ended up, but it's definitely the same vibe as the subreddit, with a little bit of discord thrown in with the emotes.

I will admit to being not the most observant person - especially as I'm in the process of switching medical providers right now, so I'm between ADHD prescriptions and definitely not as with it as I could be! - but when I poked my head in over there, I saw fellow anarchists posting, so I had consequently dismissed people saying they were churning out "CCP talking points." It mostly seems to me they churn out bullying - for everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders (which I mostly approve of, or at least find amusing). And Pig Poop Balls, of course. What did I miss?

My kid is in high school, and they communicate about emergencies through text, email, and automated calls. There are lots of jobs, especially low-paying ones, that will not let you check your phone during your shift, and they're certainly not going to be okay with you leaving early to go pick up your kid. If the choice is "leave to pick up kid (who you know is safe with teachers), get fired," versus "leave kid (who you know is safe with teachers), keep job," it's pretty simple math.

If anybody is paying a servant to catch and cache every precious load, it's him.

"This baby can hold so many trips to the underworld!"

When we're gaming together but he gets distracted by his phone, I'll call my husband back to the game with, "Play dom-jot, hew-mon!" but I never stab him if he's cheating.

Can you even imagine how anyone involved felt?!? The exultation and relief of the researchers when they not only didn't accidentally kill their patient but fixed him, the mind-blowing reality that he can move again as it sinks into the patient's brain.... !!!! I cry about every overwhelming emotion, good or bad, and I don't think I'd be able to stop crying for weeks.

I call this "following from the front," and some dogs and humans seem to love it, too.

I have an irrational fear that someone is going to do this to me whenever I have to park the cart to go use the bathroom - what if one small object is removed while I'm peeing, and I don't even notice until I get all the way home?!

The total opposite of this happened once, and it was genuinely one of the weirdest experiences of my life. I was in the grocery store looking at packaged meats, and another lady comes up and parks her cart next to mine to look at them too. She starts making some choices, loading her arms up, but I'm not really paying attention because I'm comparing prices and thinking over my own selections... Until suddenly she starts putting the meat that she has chosen on top of my groceries, in my cart - that looked nothing like her empty cart, which she then grabbed the handle on and pushed away while I stood there watching, absolutely bewildered by what had just happened.

I did not buy the meats she had chosen for me, and I live in both fear and hope that our paths might someday cross again.
