President Trump thank you for defending pedophiles across the country by nominating Mr. Gaetz as AG

it is no better or worse than twitter at the heart of things, it is just another app where you can make 250 character posts and where you interact with other people’s 250 character posts. it definitely skews liberal but lol - what you follow is what you get.

However, since Musk’s acquisition - Twitter (I should call it X because fundamentally they are different but eh) is 99% verified bots running the cheapest version of chatgpt regurgitating the exact thing the original tweet they’ve latched onto said so Bluesky is definitively ‘better’ in the sense that it has actual moderation for that and there isn’t a paid class of users getting their racist/AI generated/bait for engagement money posts artificially boosted across the entire platform.

the vestal virgin scene is when I clocked out of the movie (actually if I’m being honest it was the second time-stop but that’s like maybe what, 20-30 minutes in so I was like “no surely it’ll recover”) and mind you - I technically paid for it because AMC A List - so I was just sitting there in the theater waiting for it to end and then the crossbow came out & I actually said “this fucking movie…” out-loud and got stared at in the theater lmao

solid 4/10 purely on memeable scenes like when Cesar gets merged with his unobtainium or whatever it was called.

what the fuck if you’re not doing Wind > Bow you’re literally deranged. That’s called synergy. Lightning > Bow, I see the vision but no.

It should be:

Fire > Whip (I’m imagining the flame happens at the whip’s end)

Water > Spear (The force of a wave, projected into the spear’s point)

Wind > Bow (Fantasy gun duh)

Earth > Shield (A wall of stone to protect & defend. Assuming this magic doesn’t impart the weight necessarily but the defensive properties)

Thunder > Claws (Fantasy taser)

Poison > Dagger (I’m assuming you’re carrying a dagger cause you’re prone to flying off the handle anyways so why not ensure your victim really suffers)

Ice > Knuckles (Brrr)

Nature > Hammer (The power of a bear in each strike)

Light > Sword (Most famous swords are said to have the power of light. Righteous causes and all that. Why not I’m a weeb)

Darkness > Axe (Show me the champion of light…I’ll show you the Herald of Darkness)

ok

St Louis Fed has numbers for this but they’re averages; good starting point anyways and a liberal will probably go at it being a federal reserve bank’s data lol.

Average Price: Eggs, Grade A, Large (Cost per Dozen) in U.S. City Average

Average Price: Milk, Fresh, Whole, Fortified (Cost per Gallon/3.8 Liters) in U.S. City Average

Average Price: Bread, White, Pan (Cost per Pound/453.6 Grams) in U.S. City Average

Actually you can go straight to the BLS source (consumer price index released monthly) but the St Louis Fed is probably the easiest place to see all that info at a glance & they even have it for commodities like the global price of uranium!!

Nope. They work the same way they do on twitter - they’re meant to be lists of accounts you DO want to see tweets of. People have just curated them as blocklists, which the Bluesky API allows.

what’s funny is this is just another Twitter thing that Bluesky just copied. I’ve been on a list on Twitter called ‘Mattress Tweets’ for like a decade now and I’ve seen people on Twitter do things like put you on a list they’ve created called ‘Big Idiots’ or something along those lines. Bluesky users have just, for whatever reason, decided this is also worth doing lmao

my friend told me the last bike they purchased was from aliexpress and they rode that shit for years cross-country. link your favorite aliexpress bike so I can inexplicably keep a bike in my small apartment and use it twice a month thanks

NO you NEED to vote for the comm to be opened back up for electoralism posts about the election in general or else you’re basically voting for it to be confined to the megathread & everywhere else on the site…so you’re against me and everything i’m standing for on this site i guess?? please please vote for the comm to be opened, don’t waste your vote…

can’t believe there’s an electoralism megathread for the election in the ELECTORALISM COMM which should be the one sub happy to take any and every electoralism thread, but every other comm has 100 electoralism centered posts on the daily.

FREE THE ELECTORALISM COMM I SHOULD BE ABLE TO POST MULTIPLE THREADS ABOUT VOTE COUNTS TOMORROW NIGHT INSTEAD OF BEING SUBJUGATED IN A MEGATHREAD

For example:

• I’m so tempted to get a print of The Railroad that Leads from Earth to Hell by Milton W. Garnes (https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2014648400/) because it’s essentially an 1800 Ben Garrison comic with V being ‘Victory for Satan’ and X being ‘Crossroads of Destruction’ lol.

• Also really adore this lithograph of a waterfall & aurora by Carl Svante Hallbeck. Will most likely get and hang a print of this somewhere as it is cozy.

• Tell me why I shouldn’t get this colored version of the Flammarion engraving hung somewhere in my living room so guests can go ‘wtf is that’

• Wanderings of a Comet…my beloved…

anyways I am sure one of you Hexbears will post something better than these 4 - maybe even some propaganda posters that surpass it. can’t wait.

to the foolish doomer, it may seem like good things never happen but arguably more good things happen every day than bad. every breath you take, every day the sun rises – these are all objectively miracles.

Never smoke weed more than every 4 days or it starts to build up in you and stops being really fun or inspiring and just becomes a dissociative lifestyle.

skill issue
