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 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.
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.

wrath of the righteous is really good. it’s a shame i have to use character guides for it because i Do Not know how to play pathfinder.

yes, but that excess allowed some truly outrageous character builds that 5e just can’t hold a candle to. I’m especially proud of a damphir necromancer that ran around with the armored corpses of dire lions that soloed most of the fights the DM tried to throw at us. think he really regretted throwing those at us early on only for the cleric to go “wait, hold my beer”
i want to try it out but that means either running it myself or making someone else do it and i don’t know anyone else
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
post you’ve ever made.

You’re not wrong, you’re really not. I do think, however, that someone who hadn’t seen the movie and isn’t familiar with your posting style could have conceivably come to the conclusion that you think Katherine Oppenheimer is a “big booba waifu”. I read your comment as obviously saying that’s how Nolan portrayed her and that’s a bad thing, Nolan should be less of a misogynist ass, but again, if someone is unfamiliar with the context and your posts, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that your comment could have been (in good faith) misconstrued as saying the direct opposite to what you actually meant. (Also, it makes a really good site tagline, so thanks!)

Having had no idea wtf rebel moon is, this post did come off very
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

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.

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
Wait I thought we were hogs
I think hog just means anyone who consumes slop, which is to say, a consumer.
watch out i’m consoooomin

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.

on the one hand, I want to know what the two sides were. on the other, I probably don’t.
Speaking of which, what was the bananas thing about?
never heard of it
I think Tiktok/Twitter kids learned about how “developed” countries have access to tropical fruits because of exploitation so they had disk horse about whether ending imperialistic exploitation was worth not having bananas all year around.
I think that was a weird Left Twitter thing that never made its way here. I also have no idea what it was about.
I think there was a boat involved?

Of course it has, because online discussions never go anywhere in their first iteration at least

It was specifically about removing stones from a creek or riverbed, which (apparently) can have an effect on the flow and disturb the ecosystem. The OP was very polite and informational but everyone started flipping out and arguing over it for some bizarre reason. Link

Should we kill all Beavers? I hear they alter water flows in an unnatural manner.
This is far worse than rocks, btw.

worst possible reality: reddit explodes like a month before the elections, completely nonfunctional, URL stops working.
a solid 200,000 redditors swarm onto Lemmy, with many ending up on instances we are federated to. the next month is spent in a constant state of battle over voting. if Trump wins then it’s like, at least the next 3 months, with low-lying anger for the remaining 4 years.
The economy being as fucked as it is trump is probably going to take it back unless Biden goes full FDR mode in the last year.
Libs are going to be unbearable.
It’s not a real struggle session unless its an internal disagreement between Hexbears, if it’s us vs the libs that’s just sparkling disagreement.

Wtf is a flat chip?

okay now you’re really startin’ to tick me off!
Welcome to the struggle dome
Now I don’t know if you mean american chips or real chips
both, and it’ll be confusing for everyone
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
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
