Yeah? Can you provide even 1 example of someone on Hexbear posting something a) civil and b) not fascist?

And the admins of Hexbear are relentlessly pro-CCP, implying that they’re homophobic.

It may well be “leftist”, but it’s also maximum authoritarian. Hexbears love fascism like a raccoon loves trash. If you’re anything but a full-on Nazi, absolutely including being a genocide denier, you’ll be relentlessly attacked on there.

I have the entire instance blocked in my client, so I can’t even go searching for a thread for you. But if you don’t, it should be incredibly easy to poke the hexbear, so to speak. Lemme grab you a link…

Here, this one should work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

Find an appropriate sublemmy on Hexbear and post this, ideally in a context that explicitly declares you oppose genocide. You’ll get nothing but the following in your thread:

1. Accusations that you are a “shitlib”. Any attempt by you to find out what this word means will result in additional mockery.
2. Denials of the Uyghur genocide.
3. Adoration of the CCP, especially Xi Jinping (but Hexbear likes any authoritarian tyrant in China, so any CCP politician may end up adulated).

You thankfully appear to have not been exposed to a “proper” hexbear thread where all they can do to communicate is call you a shitlib for doing things like acknowledging genocide.

Depends on jurisdiction.

How bad are these that Hexbear didn’t even make the list? Drilling through on the clickable version here makes it clear that the #1, poa.st, has the same basic content as Hexbear, but I’m assuming it’s somehow way worse. Just imagine.

Stop linking xkcd without including the alt-text.

I have this. For some reason, I find a scented candle helps - I sleep with one lit.

Library.

Your belief contradicts trivially-observable reality - you’re making falsifiable claims that have, in fact, been proven false, and 10 to 15 seconds of internet searching would suffice for anyone, including you, to see that.

Easy example: the parabolic arc of the dust thrown up by the lander tires would have cost more than every penny the USA had at the time to fake.

That isn’t true. Peddling is independent of the peddler’s motivation/intent.

This thread is a garbage fire - a bunch of people who didn’t look anything up (or if they did, they cite no sources, so there’s no evidence they did) spouting a bunch of mutually contradictory shit, all of it upvoted. I will never understand why anyone engages with Lemmy this way.

Here is the list of US charges against Assange, from the actual paperwork charging him.

As you can see here, each of the first 17 charges has a maximum penalty of 10 years (not including fines).

Charge 18 is messier. Under USC 371 the max is 5 years. I believe USC 1030 is also capped at 5 years.

So roughly a 175 year sentence, at cap.

Female as an adjective is inoffensive everywhere, but you will run into problems in some contexts because its definition is currently in flux and different people will mean different things by it.

Female as a noun has the same changing definition deal, and also some online misogynists use it as a pejorative. It isn’t one, but they use it as one. As a corollary, some others on the internet have chosen to be offended by the term.

Presumably:

1. The CEO is an employee.
2. The CEO can’t be the only one owning shares, as all employees must own at least a fraction of a share.
3. When someone leaves their job, whether quitting or being fired, they must give up their shares.
4. Employees don’t sell shares, as shares are not bought or sold under this regime.

There’s no reason that I couldn’t check someone’s ID at my hypothetical farmer’s market stand.

No reason other than discussing in good faith, which means not moving the goalpost. You set the original hypothetical of cannabis being legally equivalent to squash, not me.

And the bigger ones around here have dudes that sell like microbrewed meads and shit, so you can’t tell me it’s not already happening.

Again, you set the original goalpost of discussing legal status.

There is no state in the country where tobacco isn’t age-restricted, which is what I’m focused on here. It’s incredibly normal and routine for us to restrict certain things behind being a legal adult.

Making cannabis or tobacco equivalent to zucchini would be a complete sea-change in how we think of minors and their decision-making abilities.

You can’t do that with tobacco, why allow it with cannabis?

Trump is, somehow, the worst President we’ve ever had, despite very stiff competition. You have a very sus definition of “goat”.

Didn’t he win the vote? Trump lost the vote. He won the election because the American system is designed to sometimes hand victory to the loser - Trump was the 5th or 6th example to date.
