For decades I've had friends tell me to eat meat to gain muscle. Not surprisingly this study didn't change their attitude, fuck they just wanted to consume dead animals.

I did not fucking know anything about the racist history of the dunk tank. Thank you.

We aren't listening to material power, we have ideals about democracy and fairness, and we value discussion and conflict. Honestly I think that all of those are good and admirable things. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who didn't genuinely want those.

I should point out that the closer you get to someone, the more you're gonna argue with them. It's just the rule of being social in the world. I go to work and my boss gets 1% of my personality. You guys, my partner, my IRL comrades, and my close mates get nearly 100%. Ya I'm not willing to call my boss a fascist to his face, but I wouldn't spend an uncompensated moment of time with him. With people I love, I do occasionally call them out on shit because I want them to grow, and I expect the same from them.

Some talking heads on the news are saying it's "like the flu". I'm not saying they're wrong, but we went through this already on 2020. I'm just suspicious until we know more.

Burgerland plague.

A small part of me wants this to happen to make people mask again. But really that ain't gonna happen, and this is just gonna make things even worse.

It does seem like fascists outside of the imperial core really hate their own people. Name any non West fascist and they're all like "damn I wish we could be more American".

It means to make my pp look bigger because it's really smol.

Somehow I doubt that we'll do nation blaming, like "China virus", as we did with COVID. This will just be "well nothing could have prevented it".

Also this vegan wants to remind you all that BOTH pandemics came from commercial animal consumption.

Second this. STT is one of the biggest and best parts of Hexbear.

Ya you might need light reading glasses. In the beginning, the prescription can be pretty light.

Do you wear glasses or contacts? What happens if you don't wear them?

Reopen TDT but just screenshot the large amount of ButtBidet cringe that's been posted over the last few days

Wait crossbows were armour piercing?

@CARCOSA@hexbear.net come back!

The only time I maybe got covid, I had no symptoms and never tested positive. Otherwise I'm covid free.

But being middle ages after a longggg work week does it too.

Ya, I just found out that my favourite hummus brand is partly Israeli owned

No, for some reason. But I know people who do.

Honestly it isn't. But I have mates that swear they need to change blades every few days. Who am I to tell them that they're lived experience is wrong?

Ya I literally had the same reaction when somebody told me.

It feels like veganism comes in stages. Like one day I learn that zoos are bad. Then leather. Then honey. Oh and then a friend tells me that my soap isn't vegan 😤
