*jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from foreh

site needs more metal gear solid emotes, imo imo

that batman beyond ep where oldman batman is like "i knew i wasn’t losing it because the voice in my head called me ‘bruce’ " is me with my first username whenever i post. miss him every day

deleting was an act of cowardice i’ll never forget, i’ll always regret. he was only ever there for me, and what did that get him…

old friend…i won’t scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea…

a few chilly evenings coming up so me and my gf r gonna go see Weapons by Zach Cregger (the Barbarian director). should be a fun little spooky season pregame (which starts mid-September IMO)

sending all my energy hoping your union can back you up on this

i relate to your feelings about being neurodivergent under capitalism (also ADHD), feels like this shit system would be happy to turn us into hamburger if it could since all it cares about is being good at maintaining the machine enough for money line to do its thing

not our fault this shit is built so inhuman though & that small mistakes that anyone could make penalize us so heavily. try to keep your head up as hard as that is. if you can get another shot through your union and you pull through probation, it sounds like you’ve got a real nice stable career-track pension-type job in your hands.

sickos in the rec center i work at turned off the AC on us. yes it is cool by August standards but it is still August fuck yall i dont want to feel sweat seeping down my asscrack.

Parks Department more like Run By Greedy Sharks Department

(alternately, more like Sharts Department)

it is actually kinda cool to get off work at 2 or 3 and have the rest of the day to fuck off

my first job out of college was like this and sadly i’m such a consummate Not Morning Person that i simply could not enjoy that time. i felt a horrible body/soul hangover from being up that early to the point that that afternoon and evening were generally wasted feeling like a depressed zombie.

right back at ya!!

feel like working with the public full time is draining my social energy & general energy to the point i’m a mediocre cadre and a nonexistent creative. and i’m not even that great at this job, just scraping by doing slightly above the bare minimum :(

not to be a tattle tale hall monitor but who should i message if i think a site tagline or two are way too out of pocket???

think i gotta start posting dumber…

wish there were a better way to reply to ppl in locked megathreads than @'ing them like a deeply annoying person lol. guess skill issue on my end for being so slow but dang it i have a life!!

200+ is just wild. i think id quit the site after something like that. the internet truly is just bad for you…

site’s bumming me out. late 2022ish - late 2024 really felt like the Golden Age of chabear, vibes been off since then. felt like a genuinely safe space by internet standards for a while, but feels like ambient toxicity has been on a steady incline since last fall. before that most of the hostility was isolated to the struggle sessions - which still sucked and obviously were upsetting for those involved, but generally easy to avoid til they blew over. i just feel like everyone could afford to remind themselves semi-regularly that being Correct Online doesn’t matter 95-99% of the time.

sorry if this counts as metaposting - tbh i don’t fully understand what metaposting is, or at the very least when it crosses over into rule breaking territory vs. just informally talking about the site. it’s cool if this post needs to get got, this online shit doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. and maybe that hits the core of the issue, that the internet broadly is what’s bumming me out more than hexbear specifically

yeah he’s got a bit of churlishness/troll energy to him in the books. but i also found this section genuinely sweet, it feels like he’s really looking out for his buddy & comrade’s hurt feelings. it’s also right after gandalf falls so it shows him stepping into his leadership role in a kind/caring way.

had a similar situation seeing a comrade on r/trueanon, but in that case fae wasn’t even really trying in terms of opsec

there’s a cute section in fellowship of the ring where the elves want to blindfold gimli on the walk through lothlorien and aragorn basically says “aw c’mon man it hurts his feelings when you single him out like that” and so insists the whole fellowship be blindfolded alongside him

IMO they should’ve adapted this into the movie, there’s a lot of added comic relief in the movies that kinda sux and feels forced - this would be a wholesome, more organic scene of comic relief that actually builds the relationships between the characters.

i still fw the movies though don’t get me wrong
