Huge fan of when he was gone. He wouldn't be so bad if he didn't post literally 50 times a day. There's being a power poster, then there's being annoying. Should've stayed touching grass forever.
And yes, I'm using a throwaway.

posting shade from a throwaway is just embarrassing. at least own up to it on your main
The posting is habit forming and I really, really should get back on task.
It's been an easygoing time of the year for me but still, you have a point about posting too much.
I'm sorry, I was pissed off earlier. I understand liking posting and interacting with people here. I hope you had fun while away.

UlyssesT how does it feel to be a treat yourself? When will you do a treat discourse session on how your posts have in fact become treatified?

When will you do a treat discourse session on how your posts have in fact become treatified?
I've already said many times in the past that treats are fine and I have treats too so long as they don't become a definitive (or tribalistically defended) part of one's identity, but I guess being gone for almost a year Flanderized me somewhat. Okily dokily.

Can we stop this cringe 
posting? Actively (and honestly seeming deliberately) reviving struggle sessions, especially about people who are here to experience it, is just thoughtless and unfun for all.
I'm just rolling it it, all the same.
I genuinely do enjoy your posts and personality.
I wouldnt ask you for private advice if i didnt.
like im dealing with some mental illness stuff right now, and i dont know where id be without some of my favorite posters making me laugh.
I'm definitely not a mental health professional, but I have had some experience with hard times and have done what I could for others going through hard times.
Again, take anything I say with a grain of salt, but if you want to talk, feel free to private message me again.
You thinks its 'bait posting', but i literally do like the guy and enjoy his posts. id actually call him a friend.
Dont try to paint this as shit stirring when its not.
I dont mind praising the posters who make my day better

UlyssesT makes me not feel weird about replying to multiple people in one thread
Bad habit; I really should get to some stuff I was putting off today.

I think UlysessT was well served by his time spent touching grass. Before his journey, he had a habit of blowing up on comrades over some really petty stuff, but I've not seen that sort of behavior since he's returned.
That said, I've always agreed with him on like 90% of his very vivid observations and criticisms of reddit dudebro culture, and I love it whenever its some unfortunate federated lemmitor on the business end of one of his very brutal and emojiful dunkings. Glad to see him back.
I appreciate the vote of confidence.
My well-established strong dislike of Gambo has offline precedent: that show was perhaps the last significant pop cultural monolith that I was not able to avoid while living and working around other people. When the hype wave finally crested and receded a decade later, what came after in the same genre of 
may have been comparably toxic hog slop, but it has been a blessing that I don't have to hear about it if I don't want to, not anymore. Maybe it's just where I live now (haven't seen a single ZYBERTRUKKK with my own eyes yet) but the worst excesses of bazinga culture simply don't exist and having the choice to opt out has helped me significantly.
It is 2023 on Hexbear, people are worshipping UlyssesT for whatever reason.
It is 2024 on Hexbear, people are worshipping UlyssesT for whatever reason.
It is 2050 on Hexbear, people are worshipping UlyssesT for whatever reason.
Whatever is written by a beloved poster is right — such is still the mentality of culturally backward Hexbear peasants. Strangely enough, within the Communist Party there are also people who always say in a discussion, "Show me where it's written by Marx." When we say that a directive of a higher organ of shitposting is correct, that is not just because it comes from "a higher organ of shitposting" but because its contents conform with both the objective and subjective circumstances of the struggle and meet its requirements. It is quite wrong to take a formalistic attitude and blindly carry out directives without discussing and examining them in the light of actual conditions simply because they come from a more notable poster. It is the mischief done by this formalism which explains why the line and tactics of the Party do not take deeper root among the masses. To carry out a directive of a higher organ blindly, and seemingly without any disagreement, is not really to carry it out but is the most artful way of opposing or sabotaging it.

With respect to the power posters keeping this site alive, I refuse to form a parasocial relationship with an anonymous poster on a leftist shitposting/fed honeypot web forum.
fed honeypot
It's cute that you think the Feds give a flipping fuck about us
Trying to lure me into a false sense of security are you? Exactly what a fed would do.

He STINKS and I HATE HIM
NO U 
What happened, did he leave again?
Pretty wild how the last big "I like UlyssesT" struggle session showed he was lurking. Overall sentiment was negative so he came back to dominate the comms again lol.
I'm right here now.
When I showed up again, I was directed to what was a recent thread. I assume that wasn't the only one that popped off in my absence, but that particular one wasn't pleasant but then again, I feel like I had less chill back before I left and being out of CA and in a less aggressively hostile environment did me a lot of good, so some of my bad takes may have had that lasting ire coming, I suppose.
I have basically no opinions on any poster but guy really does not like me for some really meaningless shit so idk weird vibes

Blocked and will continue to be
The media critic Diogenes of our hour.
Diogenes' most vocal fans tend to have a "no veggies for dinner, no naptimes" sort of petty/selfish theoryless version of anarchist ideology going on in my experience, but I still really like that "in a rich person's house there is no place to spit but the rich person's face" line. A classic. 
Or how about "I'm looking for the bones of your father, but I can't seem to tell them from the bones of his slaves"?
Good choice!
Darwin (before his name was dishonestly invoked for bourgeoisie-friendlier Spencer's "Social Darwinism") had the same observation: so-called nobles have no definitive biological differences to distinguish them from their so-called lessers. That scared the hell out of the ruling class of his day; the pretenses of heresy and all that were an afterthought.
honestly top 5 chapo to me
Wait, he's a drug dealer now?
Shitpost legend 
, slayer of 
Eh, seems more chill since he came back.
I'm still a BMF stan tho. His various alts fill my top 5, and 10, and most of my top 20.
Is BMF still around in some form? I've seen the emoji 
Nah, if you go over to r/TrueAnon he goes by "OpenCommune" now, I think.
Of all the chapos whose books I own, he is my favorite
