FWIW, I'm very leftist

[Hexbear is] Like old reddit the_donald bad

we need a Democrat who isn’t just a “not Trump” candidate

I've been told that emojis don't load properly on other instances so I won't use any but there are so many emojis that could describe my face right now

Responding to ridiculous claims which now appear on our own instance, comparing us to Donald Trump supporters, is not "brigading".

You understand federation, right? It means that what you post here shows up on hexbear, what we post shows up on blahaj, and we can all interact. You wanna defederate - go for it. But don't make ridiculous, outlandish, baseless claims about thousands of people (who are probably the best allies you have on lemmy as evidenced by other instances ITT) and call it "brigading" when people refuse those outrageous claims.

You got lemm.ee folks doing actual transphobia (something hexbear does not do) in this thread - I eagerly await your next post about defederating with them.

Yawn

I'm an urbanist, I live in a dense city, I literally do not own any motorized transportation

There are hundreds of shitty little towns across America that survive solely off of ticket revenue by putting up a gas station, a church, and a dollar general on a road that's primarily designed for cross-country travel by slamming the speed limit from 65mph+ to 25 within a 200 meter distance, and anyone who lived in that area without a car would literally die due to lack of a job, income, access to food, etc etc etc so I'm really not buying this argument

Yeah, it's a school zone.

There's also the word "usually" there, and I stick by it. Nice gotcha tho.

Ram 2500 Drivers Have the Most DUIs, More Than Twice the National Average: Report

Roughly 1 in 22 Ram 2500 drivers have been cited with a DUI before, a study claims.

Now back to the story at hand....

Authorities allege that Hammons left the scene after the arrival of medical personnel but before law enforcement arrived. He turned himself in the next day and was lodged in the Marion County Jail.

Hmmmmmmmm, really makes u think

To me, a highway means speeds in excess of 50mph.

I suppose it's perfectly fine that it means that to you, but US highways run through every little dying town and the speed limits are usually 25-35mph in town, usually for the sole purpose of being a revenue generating speed trap. In fact I just looked it up and this intersection is a school zone with a 20mph speed limit.

lemm.ee user not be an insufferable bigoted chud challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

They are self-avowedly more interested in trolling, harassing other users, and crapping on other people’s politics. They don’t even make a secret of it.

Source for this "self avowal"?

I'm sure you have a source and aren't just making this up.

it's really amazing how you know literally nothing about the website you actually signed up for but you're a PhD candidate on everything to do with hexbear

Uhhhhh.... War damn eagle I guess

 

Holy fucking shit there are like two topics ever on lemmy

  1. reddit bad, let's talk about reddit and their badness

  2. drama over former reddit apps now wanting to charge hundreds of dollars for lifetime access because they don't have as broad of a user base, and people going back and forth between "fuck that" and "people need to be compensated for their tiiiiiiime"

And now, we're talking about all the stupid shit the redditors are talking about on lemmy because it took like 3 weeks for them all to go over and start redding the place up

I hate it, hate it, hate it
