I go by “test” on live.hexbear.net, or “tset” or “tst” or some other variant when I’m not logged in.
We watch movies on the weekends and sometimes also hang out during the week, you should drop by.
A reddit thread supposedly debunking the IDF’s Oct 7 “mass Hannibal” friendly fire response is now a top google result if you search “oct 7 mass hannibal”.

there are other claims but I’ll post this edit now, I’m still reading
The Day of the Jackal is on libgen. I downloaded it.
The entire pdf is in Comic Sans
Is there any evidence that the pagers mostly belonged to Hezbollah?
a tornado at night is functionally invisible, especially if it’s rain-wrapped and there are no arcs from breaking power lines. At best you can glimpse it in brief flashes when lightning silhouettes the funnel, like something out of a horror movie.
Sometimes I think about new life refilling the earth millions of years from now, like the dinosaurs after the Permian extinction. It sucks to witness a mass extinction but in the long timeline it’s only an instant. Just happens to be an instant my entire life fits inside of
I recently learned a really weird piece of evidence geologists apparently look at: heavy oxygen trapped in rocks. Turns out water with oxygen18 is slower to evaporate than water with the lighter oxygen16, which apparently means that rocks absorb oxygen18 water more readily than oxygen16 water, and therefore landmasses tend to accumulate oxygen18 leaving less in the seas… which means, when geologists find really old sea floor rocks full of oxygen18, it suggests that there was a lot more oxygen18 in the seas back then, which suggests that there was very little dry land to absorb oxygen18, meaning ancient earth might have been a water world, which is what we see in the start of the video.

*which also has obvious implications for the origins of life, as the article mentions—none of Darwin’s “warm little ponds”
Mostly by looking at patterns across continents. For example the Appalachian mountains and Scottish highlands were once part of the same mountain range. Geologists were able to figure that out by closely examining those mountain ranges. With enough patterns like that you can start to reconstruct the plate movement.
That was cool, thanks for posting it
often when deals have been in the works ISIS-K suddenly pop up and do terror attacks
do you have any examples off the top of your head? that’s something I’d like to look into
self esteem debt
if I google “self esteem debt” I get “…self esteem. Debt…”
the second time I actually started writing down dates and events to create a timeline
You should consider sharing this some time!
Do they know each other better than they know you? Is there something they all share in common that you don’t? Is there an age gap? Seniority gap? Do they all go to the same church? Have they clocked your politics? Are you new to the area? Are they a clique? Some groups of people just won’t talk to you unless you are socially relevant to them or unusually charismatic. If you’re neither of those things it can be hard to break in.
yeah dude, you too! I wish you luck with it. I’ll tell you that, in the brief moments when I manage to speak and act how I want to and not how I think I should, it feels very exposed, like I’ll get ridiculed at any moment. I think I’ve been trying to fit in my whole life. It’s to the point where, most of the time, I don’t even know how I want to speak and act. I have to consciously stop myself from acting out of habit. It will take practice. I’m treating it like physical therapy, like learning how to walk again after nerve damage.
First time I’ve seen this happen on hexbear
Also, because I mask so hard, if I’m stressed out or events in my life are taking up a lot of mental resources, I find I don’t have enough left over to mask, and I end up avoiding people.
lol yeah me too
I realized recently, had almost an epiphany, that I almost never do or say what I want, but only ever what I think I should. It becomes a problem in writing. I’ve had to write essays and other things where I’ve agonized over wording for hours and allowed my inner self-critic to torture itself over what kind of thing I should write, what kind of tone, wording, structure, all that. With writing, there are so many endless ways to write a sentence or a paragraph or an essay, that it becomes a bottomless problem to reason your way to the right one. At some point it has to be an expression of you, but if your internal self-critic is louder than you are then it can be a challenge.
I was actually amazed that calling conservatives weird worked at all. When I heard that Kamala Harris planned to call Trump weird if they debated, and that this was some kind of big strategy, I thought it sounded like the most toothless strategy I had ever heard. But now that I think about it, yes, they are weird, they’re some of the weirdest fucking people on the planet, and nothing hurts like the truth, so I guess I can kind of believe it. It’s still hard to imagine that the insult would hurt if you heard it from a lanyard, though.
As for it having an ableist or queerphobic resonance, that never really occurred to me. But I could see it morphing into that in the future if it lasts that long. Instead of an attack against conservatives it becomes some kind of “horseshoe theory” attack against the right and the left, and then all the queer and neurodivergent and disabled people on the left become “weird” too, while “normal” is a NATO-supporting warhawk neoliberal who wants to glass Ukraine and Palestine.
If im going to sleep, I have to ironically not be in the mindset of trying not to sleep. I can’t think about thinking about falling asleep, or then I can’t fall asleep
Yeah that was pretty much how I got out of it. I decided to try to stay up instead of trying to sleep, and eventually sleep crept up on me. That first night of sleep relieved some of the “how will I ever sleep again” fear and made it easier to sleep the next night, and I gradually returned to a kind of normalcy. It’s been years now, often I can lie down alone with my thoughts and drift off, but when I have something the next day that I really need sleep for I often find that I have to stay up and distract myself until sleep catches me unawares, so end up feeling like shit on the days I most need to be on my game lol.
Anyway, I relate to what you’re going through and I really wish you the best with it.
To add onto that, Wikipedia has a surprisingly good page about Oct 7 Israeli friendly fire, which includes a paragraph on Yasmine Porat
