Hi everybody! I've been lurking all the way back since the Chapo subreddit and never made an account there or here. I don't know why not or what changed in my weird brain to make me decide to finally do it last night, but I did and then the site almost immediately went down lmao, so sorry about that. monke-beepboop

(Btw, does anyone know how to clear the second set of pronouns on your profile? I don't know how to deselect it. Not that I don't consider myself a comrade, it just looks a little redundant having double thems there.)

    Welcome and how dare you.

    Try selecting the first option ("none/use name") in the select box for "additional pronouns".

      It worked, thank you. (I accidentally replied to the wrong repost and deleted that one, still shaking the rust off the ol' postin' muscles) monke-beepboop

    Now that you have your pronouns sorted, we just have to install your woke-ism brain chip, and you're ready to start posting.

    Glad to have you onboard comrade!

      I don't remember if it was here or the subreddit but the bit where someone kept photoshopping Charlie Kirk's face slightly smaller really got me charlie-kirk

      During the early parts of the Ukraine war, the newsmega here was one of the only places I felt sane getting any information about it so big shout out to SeventyTwoTrillion. Tons of people in my day to day life were full on "Ghost of Kiev"pilled and thought mentioning anything about Maidan and the Donbas conflict or anything bad about Azov was Russian disinformatsya. Hell, my own parents started watching the fucking Zelensky comedy show where he was a teacher that becomes the Ukrainian president on accident and I was fully 👁️ about predictive programming for a second.

      Thanks! It's odd, I can usually remember dreams with pretty good detail but only for like, an hour max after I wake up so most don't stick with me. Off the top of my head, I had one like 15 years ago that I still can remember parts of where I was some kind of soldier/guerilla in some desert kind of seaside city with a lot of arches and white sandstone buildings with ornate roofs. The whole dream had a really washed out/desaturated kind of look with cyan kinda tint to all the light. I can really clearly remember this imposing looking really big flagpole and the really striking design on the flag, it was like a blend of the gruppetto musical symbol and a swastika with some dots on each side. Something about it stuck in my head like how kids used to all draw that one S. I've thought about using it as some kind of emblem for album art or a faction in a game or something but never got around to it. (Well, that and it looks pretty fashy and wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea of something I'd be involved in haha.) I remember seeing the barrel of a tank peek around the corner, it drove forward into the center of the intersection, the turret rotated to face me, and I woke up with my heart racing like
