Yo can I just say Lemmygrad has been super friendly and welcoming to us and it's much appreciated.

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

We’re currently united in our sacred duty of lib dunking, once (if) it cools down some struggle sessions might arise, already seeing some fellow lemmygrad users complaining about ppb

Yes. I think the union between Lemmygrad and Hexbear has been a positive one for both instances.

There was a time when I would run away from the stupidity of real life to the virtual - internet, video games, books, even comics. Nowadays, I am more and more often pressed to run away from the stupidity of the virtual and into the embrace of the real. Except real life has only gotten more stupid and disappointing with years. There's nowhere left run

Same sometimes. Though I managed to find an escape in working at the Union and weightlifting.

We can only try to move on comrade. And at least you are a very welcome person over here.

I see no capybaras but I will begrudgingly upvote because I am a tankie 👿 👿 👿

A quick search turns these two up, I swear we have more somewhere though

Edit: found a couple of quokkas, which aren't quite capybaras, but are still pretty cute quokka-smile quokka-wink

If South Korea is so great, why do they need to literally host a fuck ton of Amerika's army there.

"Because North Korea is ebil and aggressive and wants to invade and eat all the puppies!" - would be the usual response. Source: my colleague is a koreaboo

I've taken up the monumental task of growing a tomato plant in my appartment, and it is showing signs of an actual tomato. If only my pepper seeds would sproud, I may be able to have a home grown salsa soon.

hang on guys, I just stumbled in from the bear site. so is this like the equivalent of the hexbear megathread? I'm still really confused about how this federation stuff works

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

pretty much, except it's always in the same community

[–] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I wear an N95 everywhere and I haven't had a respiratory infection since 2019.

Libs think that I'm full of shit, but I was right about the war on terror, right want global warming, and FFS I'm right about what the mainstream medical research is stating.

Federation was a good idea if only because of how incandescently furious it makes liberals to have to hear leftist opinions

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its pretty funny how they come unarmed (no theory) and get absolutely obliterated like that one dude claiming that workers owning the means of production is literally capitalism 😂

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago

hello Hexbear!

ive seen a course on the politics in contemporary china by princeton
and there too the prof said that when new legislature is being debated that the most popular legislature becomes implemented the fastest
even though china is not a democracy
and that really controversial legislature can take years

said by my taipeaboo friend. what-the-hell

I miss my social circle being a bunch of tankies 😭
bye Hexbear 💚

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

sorry but democracy is clearly when private capital writes legislation and senators who were paid by them pass it

Just saw my roommate make an impeccable omelet, fluffy as all hell. Then he chopped it up to make breakfast burritos. Why not just make scrambled eggs bro?

Hey does anyone know a breakdown of all the "Trump election Russian influence" thing, I read some MSM articles about it and everything seem purposefully confused and lacking any context or analysis

[–] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aaron Maté has done some great breakdowns on the whole thing.

dramatically ripping my Bernie 2020 shirt in two in front of a camera and then going "I was literally the most left wing radical that has ever existed, but the tankies over there are just unhinged. I've read some Jordan Peterson and I've been getting pretty convinced..."
