it’s the year of the linux desktop chinese collapse

that’s right.

Oh wow, I had no idea she was known for something other than acting.

Live fast and get fucked or whatever 🖖

we must transfer the lead from their brains to our bodies

p.s. “Democrat Party” gives your bias away, it’s the Democratic Party.

Is the bias that they’re a communist or an anarchist? Because that’s what most people on our instance are. It’s not like we’re hiding it.

The uncertainty is awful. It took me ten years to get diagnosed with anything. I had so many doctors that thought I was just seeking pain pills. I had to beg a primary care physician to refer me to a rheumatologist. The rheumatologist guessed what I had within 5 minutes. A few blood tests, X-rays, and an MRI later and I had a diagnosis. Ten years and then someone guesses it in 5 minutes. Autoimmune diseases are weird like that.

I’m also incredibly pro-vax, but those things knock me on my ass for days. Seems pretty common for people with autoimmune diseases.

Thanks for looking out for us. I wish more people looked at it the way you do. It’s been really weird seeing headlines since 2022 that excitedly proclaim “hey its only old people and disabled people dying now!”

it even helps my sinus’ when I’m cleaning the house.

One of the best parts about having a bunch of cloth masks from early in the pandemic is they’re great for cleaning. I wear one when I clean my cats’ litterboxes every day.

I wear N95s outside the house, but cloth masks have still proven useful.

“dip”

as in “no dip”

I’m so sorry, it’s not a good time. I hope you find treatment that offers some level of relief.

thank you

also the flu is absolutely not harmless, we are extremely lucky that it’s seasonal (unlike covid)

[note: this is not me saying covid is not harmless, it is extremely harmful]

I want to share my experience as a disabled person, because I think it’s very easy to simply not notice our non-existance:

I don’t exist anymore. I’m a hermit. It’s been years since I’ve done anything in public. I go to the rheumatologist, I go to a lab to get blood tests, and once a year I get an x-ray to make sure I don’t have TB. I don’t do anything else. There’s about a two week period where being outside isn’t some unbearably high or low temperature that exacerbates my condition.

Please care about covid. Just, please. Do it for people like me if that helps you, but mostly do it for yourself. This virus can make you like me and it’s miserable (I was sick before Covid, but Covid is known to trigger autoimmune conditions which are the primary cause of my suffering).

Nice, it seems like the only browser worth using due to privacy and its stance on adblockers. It’s a welcome bonus that it performs comparably as well.

its good, been enjoying it for ~3 years now

not very nice to call me stupid

Hey, since you already understand that the war on terror was a lie, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts after listening to Blowback Season 2 and Season 3. They’re about Cuba and Korea. I grew up believing they were no good and completely evil, but there is a verifiable truth that is propagandized against in the west. You don’t even have to use non-western sources to get to that truth, it’s just that if you don’t know you’ve been lied to, there’s no reason to dig in.

It’s certainly not a single lie over the War on Terror that has led to our complete distrust of the American state.

the West is a far better influence on the world and care-taker of its citizens than China is

Simple statistics like literacy and life expectancy disagree with this assessment.

And let’s not get started on the Russian state

You won’t find much support for Russia on Hexbear. You’re mistaking our disdain for NATO as support for Russia. Russia is not the Soviet Union.

The only real problem with affinity is lack of Linux support. Otherwise I love it.
