Pretty fucking wild to see someone claiming that Biden and the Dems did “harm reduction” when the only difference is that they pay lipservice to science.

Don’t forget the recent decision on that baker that didn’t want to make a cake for a gay couple’s marriage. The SC ruled in favor of being able to decline service to LGBTQ+ people on the basis of freedom of religion and free speech. Something that could easily be abused to repress the queer community.

I don’t think any of us here are pretending that things under Trump would be fine, instead we question the merits of the argument of harm reduction under Biden.

Declared the pandemic over. Removed most, if not all economic and healthcare protections for affected by the pandemic.

Still have immigrant concentration camps, just rebranded.

Billions wasted on trying to create a forever war for Russia.

Half hearted attempt to reduce college debt.

No attempts to protect abortion or LGBTQ+ rights.

Paltry environmental protection policies. Awful response to climate disasters that have gotten worse due to climate change.

I could keep going, but you get the point.

Does you job have a pit?

Might finally be going on a date with my crush

Been a bit of an emotional roller coaster (and will probably be for just a bit longer lol), but she had let me know she was interested about a month ago. Asked her out about two weeks ago via text, but it was a bit last minute and I didn’t get a reply. We kept talking at work, but I hadn’t brought it up. Then our schedules started to drift apart a bit and last week just kinda sucked. Then this past weekend we worked together again, but I hadn’t quite mustered up the courage to ask her out again. Our schedules matched up today and I went ahead and asked her out again and she said yes. Nothing quite final because the event we’d be going to is a couple weeks away, but there’s a good chance our schedules will line up enough for us to go

4 call outs from the opening shift at work today. This covid wave is going to be very cool

I feel like the answer should be yes, but I had one for about 3 years and it didn’t seem to make me an attractive enough job candidate so

The Mets. If they laugh at you it’s not my fault though.

Ah. I figured it was a more widespread feature. There definitely are 4 door sedans that have fold down seats though, but it’s just a handful.

I’ll do whatever you tell me Mr. Xi

Oh wait, that’s not what they mean when they call us bots is it?

Pretty sure you could. Do the rear seats drop if you have to extend the trunk a bit?

My mom was telling me that my nephew was going to have his first child and I sent a message congratulating him. He replies and says thanks me and says something about his career and I’m like So I ask my mom what he’s talking about and she tells me he’s also becoming a cop

The way they tell it, you’d think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.

Seriously, if you look into each cubicle we’re in we aren’t all the same person

Yeah, Killer Mike is solidly in the black capitalism = liberation camp. I’ll of course still listen to his music, especially his RTJ stuff.

But anti-semitism is a completely different matter. Sad that NoName isn’t really taking the criticism of featuring Jay Electronica to heart.

I had checked my fonts settings to make sure, but looking around the fonts looked about right. Main thing was a lot of Firefox’s UI looked super small (like the address bar, and extension icons). It was bothering the fuck out of me. But I added an edit for what ended up fixing it.

I don’t know if its just me, but I had all my display settings on my Debian install just about right for my eyes. Ran an update and now I swear everything looks small again, but I checked my settings and everything is the same as I had it before

EDIT: Think I’ve got everything back to how it was. I think it was actually when I tried checking out KDE with X11 instead of Wayland, which is what I had been using. The scaling setting switched all X11 apps to scale themselves instead of scaling with my system setting. Crisis averted😌

Not sure if everyone got switched to All, but if you want to see less go into your user settings and change it to local for Hexbear only content. Way less stuff like that. I was thinking of switching Subscribed or All, but eveytime I click on All it really is quite a lot to take in.

Not too shocked, but my mom does indeed have COVID after a couple of positive tests today. Her test a couple of days ago came back negative, but she at least put on a mask and isolated as much as possible.

Someone at work also went sick as fuck. He is out of sick days so he ended up going to work, but seemingly made no effort to ar least mask up to help protect others. He says his COVID test was negative, but that doesn’t mean much.

What a great fucking time
