I wouldn't.

To be used as a reaction whenever gusanos are up to no good (which is always).

I'm imagining as years go by when/if this AI regex code breaks - nobody knows how it works or how to fix it. Am I wrong?

I'm not a programmer and I write shitty code but I can manage to write simple regex to create quick and dirty code. That's a terrible programming choice I know but I never share my code. It's just for me and it works.

I got linked to it once but forgot.

As part of my nurse-client relations class in nursing school, I am conducting research on housing insecurity and its connection to health disparities. If you have experienced housing insecurity and are willing to share your experiences, I would be extremely grateful if you could complete the linked survey. Thank you!

Note: not my survey, but I can vouch for the person running it.

Like, for example, Stalin's resignation attempts. When i bring this up in conversation, they usually make it out to be like some evil ploy. They act as if everyone who voted 'yes' during his resignation attempts had be taken out back and shot, even before the session had ended, maybe. And of course every time a positive account of Soviet life/leadership was given to a foreign journalist, an NKVD sniper was perched on a nearby rooftop ready to shoot in case the person said anything wrong.

I've never read Capitalist Realism, but maybe this has something to do with it? Why do these people assume everything was evil and fake in the USSR?

Worst fan theory on a show/movie etc you have heard/seen circulated?

This just happened during Black Friday and I'm still processing it. My sister and her husband Michael went to Walmart for their Black Friday sale. According to them it was absolute chaos - hundreds of people everywhere, barely any workers, total mess.

Michael managed to grab one of the doorbuster deals - a huge 65" TV that was marked down from $899 to $399. Apparently the checkout lines were so insane (staffed by one underpaid employee) that people just started walking out. Like literally just pushing their carts through without paying because there weren't enough workers at registers and the underpaid security guard obviously wasn't getting paid enough to care.

And my sister and Michael joined them. They walked out with a $400 TV because "everyone else was doing it" and "the store's owners should have been better prepared."

The part that really bothers me is they were bragging about it at family dinner yesterday. Right in front of their kids (8 & 10) AND my kids (7 & 12). They were laughing about their "amazing deal" like it was some funny story about outsmarting the system and they are right!

I pulled my sister aside and told her this was basically stealing and sets a horrible example for the kids, who may get fired in the future for not risking their lives to stop the theft of a commodity. She got defensive saying that she recently finally sat down & read some of the theory I'd sent her over the years and that she realized big stores expect this kind of loss during sales and that it's not really stealing because the store "couldn't handle their own sale properly and Joe Biden has done nothing for the working class the past 4 years."

Michael jumped in saying I need to read more Marxist theory on class struggle & how it relates to crimes such as theft and that I'm probably just jealous I didn't get any "deals." I'm honestly disgusted by the whole thing. Later my kids were asking me if it's okay to not pay for stuff when stores are really busy, which just proves my point about what message this sends.

My sister hasn't talked to me since I called her out, and my parents are saying I should apologize for "making drama" and that it's "none of my business" but someone needs to say something, right?

Am I seriously overreacting here? Everyone's acting like this is just normal Black Friday behavior and I feel like I'm going crazy....

I'd have to pick gryphons, for a variety of reasons:

• Lions are badass, eagles are badass, making gryphons badass squared
• Historically associated with strength and protection
• They're often portrayed as having human-level intelligence and how fucking cool would it be to talk to one
• They would give the absolute best cuddles and you cannot convince me otherwise

Lions and fire itself count as dragons, don't forget.

My favourite Pokémon is Vaporeon, of course. I also like Eevee and all the other Eeveelutions.

Pikachu shocking Ash with electricity and refusing to go in the Pokéball was cool. Little electric-type comrade defending his freedom.

Need answer ASAP

Is hanging your keys off your belt loop with a carabiner a punk thing or a lesbian thing.

or both

Is it new posts from people I follow or something?

Sure, they're not to the extent of Hollywood, but still.

Starting to find it really hard not to hate NT people in every single facet of my life tbh

Long story short but I finally caved and made a TikTok account.

I'm looking for commie and anarchist content creators. Theory bro stuff too.

Oh and any neurodivrgent creators is also a plus. Autism, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, etc. related content would be great.

Any creators you think are just all around chill are also welcome.

TIA.

E: For some reason I wasn't able to follow anyone but logged out and back in yesterday and was able to follow 14 more people before it shit the bed again. Is this a common thing?

We hate private land owners, we hate the landlords, we hate the bankers, we hate the billionaires, we hate the warlords and warmongers. We hate the techbro chuds. We hate the corporate media. As we should. The hexbear community has solidified my conviction that all such people are downright anti-humans.

I live in Texas, and I am surrounded by people who see themselves as righteous, good people. Many of their ancestors were Germans, arriving after the middle of the 19th century, in the wake of the German Springtime of the Peoples revolutions of 1848.

I can't help but feel jealous -- of their history, heritage, etc. (Although, I suspect a lot of that history is fleeing from the dismantlement of structures supporting aristocracies.) At the risk of doxxing myself, I'm just a cracker whose ancestors were half dirt-poor farmers from Northern Sweden who immigrated to the American Midwest, got engineering degrees, enlisted in the military, and were lifelong union members and Democrats until the Evangelicals got their son (my father), and half upper middle class East Coasters.

I say all that because I don't have much of a heritage -- no interesting history. My family spent four generations toiling in this country, and the six contemporary families descended from those ancestors today have relatively little to show for their immigration and diaspora, insofar as I understand it.

But mostly I'm jealous of two things: 1) the support network of family and dozens of cousins who are all distantly related but all living in the same geographic area that several of my friends here have -- I only have my sister and her young family who live nearby to me; and 2) the land owned by these people.

Texas is a hell hole in many ways, but one of the worst ways is how little public land there is here. Just a smattering of state parks and wildlife preserves that are getting eroded by developers and petty legislators over the years. Everything else is barbed wire fenced-off apportions. Every acre accounted for, and protected by AR-15-wielding hunters, ranchers, rural suburbanites, and the county sheriff. And don't get me started on the folks with oil wells on their land.

Would I want to be those people? I would not. Knowing how settlers wound up pushing out indigenous peoples from their lands all over this continent, I would be ashamed of myself. And yet, their wealth and stability are things I yearn for, not just for myself and my family, but for all peoples in the world.

And I know, that stability at the price of exclusive "ownership" of land is a zero-sum game that inescapably forces others into lives of poverty and perpetual renting, if not downright slavery.

But there is no alternative in this ugly, greedy country. Especially not in Texas. These people will fight to the last drop of blood before they let go of their holdings and allowed a peoples' ownership of land like in Vietnam and China.

And why is this? A lot of it is racism -- ours for our "people", not for "their people". But a lot of it is just ingrained, unenlightened, childish, "mine" -- just the desire to have, which they would describe as just "human nature". And maybe also an impotent grasping onto the material world in the hopes of some form of legacy and escape from mortality.

There will never be any convincing any of these Texans that a communal sharing of the land would bring just as much if not more stability for their families and descendants as hoarding it. No matter how many of them are willing to share the fruits of their land and stability as "charity" to those who have less.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to get at here -- what is my question? I suppose maybe I'm asking, how can I square my desire for stability for my family and the idyllic fantasy of land of "our own" with my conviction that land should not belong to anyone except everyone all at once, and that the only purpose of the state should be to protect universal land ownership from those who would seek to return it to their exclusive hands?

I don't know, maybe that's the incorrect way to put that question.

Haven’t watched it in awhile, but it seemed underwhelming.
Is it cuz of the weather or just the stream I was watching? I’m let down…and drunk.

Why was that chosen when we became Hexbear instead of chapochat

He is a polsci prof from Austin and I've been watching a lot of his history lectures. They are very informative and engaging, so I was thinking about sharing some of them here.

These are two of my fav lectures:

Genocide and Dreams: Iraq

How Islam Saved Western Civilization

Given all states including and north of New York & New Jersey would split off from the USA and form the "North East Union".

Would they be able to hold their own against and without the rest of the USA?

Looking to expand my music collection. I will listen to basically anything as long as it's not in English
