Iirc lobsters can become much much larger than the ones we eat which are lil babies (comparatively speaking). The 2 or so lb lobsters we see are like 5yo but lobsters can live to be 100+ and 15lbs or sumsuch. Maybe the old crotchety ones folks ate back didn't taste as good?

Hexbear users will never downvote you if only because they physically can't. Downvotes were disabled around the time of the Great reddit migration.

I get what you're saying bout the repetitiveness of the way people communicate. Someone it can feel like a bunch of LLMs slapping together the same 10-15 lines together to mimic speech.

I attemt to say things in different ways and have a "voice" you can hear to fight this repetitiveness, and out of sheer boredom towards the ways things are commonly said. THAT said I'm "guilty" of using memespeech too, and if course it can be clever shorthand to convey feeling if used properly.

Dunno where I'm going with this but i do feel ya.

I don't block people permanently, only for a couple days and then only if they won't stop barkin. We didn't have any discussions per se but i have to admit to you it was i who reported one of your comments as "debate pervert". I stand behind that decision too, in that particular case.

I hope you have a good weekend too. I hope you come back around one day, as a lurker, with curiosity. Even if it seems unlikely in the face of the other things I've said, i really mean that.

Right, my bad. I guess I'm hinting at your comment needing a bit of a massage until it says what you mean. My suspicion is you actually just don't like the turn of phrase, not that you don't get why it's used, right? Which is perfectly fine yo.

Hell, the way you phrased not liking something as "not getting it' and yor statement just now with the "?" At the end of it are both standard interwebby colloquialisms.

Not fighting, just saying

Well i like jumping between instances constantly so i never feel a connection to any of them. I have an account in any instance defedded from another so i don't miss the yummy content and get as many different perspectives flooding my brains busted dopamine receptors as i can, but that's just me.

I kept about 5 running accounts at any given time on Reddit too, because i didn't want to be a karma whore. Maybe i just like lots of accounts and i don't even have a good reason.

So this post is because you're angry ya got dunked on? You can't just post liberal political opinions (that would do well in liberal spaces) and expect them to fly in a commie space...

Wait, i recognize you! Ive argued with you myself! You definitely don't approach hexbear with a perspective of learning something, and iirc you're not the most respectful of other opinions haha! You been banned a couple times and still ain't learned shit about shit. Should i pm you with those threads with explanations of what and where you went wrong? Id be ecstatic to teach you something today

It's a colloquialism of Internet denizens that I've seen floating around for many years. In fact it's somewhat baffling to me that you haven't seen it until now.

You probably just stay dead lmao

Cuz shire living is heaven hobbits inside it wouldn't even know they were dead

I think anyone who's even remotely curious about hexbear should go make an account and just... Iunno, check it out? That's what i did and it ended up being my home away from home.

Their viewpoints are gonna be absolute whiplash for most people unaccustomed to speaking about world topics from a non-us-centric perspective, or who have only learned about what communism actually is from our (definitely not biased) general education.

Calling those viewpoints "crazy" is just a shortcut, a base dismissal of thought unworthy of critical thinkers.

If you take me up on this, go lurk a bit! They can't hurt you. If after awhile of lurking, you have a question (you will have questions) ask them from a position of curiosity that you're interested in their perspective instead of one there to "educate the commies" and you'll be just fine. Hell you don't ever have to engage in politics at all there, hexbear has as many shitposts as the other instances do

I recall i went to hexbear because sh.itjust.works was defedding and erryone was just so mad at them i had to see what the fuss was about. Im very glad i did

i suggest having multiple accounts in many instances especially since i see you are on .world.

if you don't have one, do it now! :)

my guess (100% vibes-based) is .world might consume another couple comms and split off to its own thing. If i'm even right, how much that split affects lemmy depends on how many and how well we users are spread out over the other comms.
