Oh god lol. I haven't told anyone I know in real life about this website.
had to tell my household to explain why there was so much giggling at my phone and ranting about new topics
yes, even my son has heard of Hexbear
I just tell people who see me on my phone with the Lemmy UI open that "I'm chatting with people on the internet", and leave it at that lol. I think most people I know have already figured out that I'm some sort of godless socialist, or something along those lines, from my opinions on domestic and international affairs. I don't talk about it often, but when I do I lay it out pretty plainly.
yes, even my son has heard of Hexbear
Your son knows about this place? Is he old enough to fully understand that we're some sort of esoteric political forum, or something like that?
he's a senior in high school, which makes me officially Old
he knows this is the commie hangout where I find memes and great trans resources and news to be mad at
Damn you might be older than me. We are a slim minority around here lol
yeah that kinda started sinking in when I realized there was nobody here to talk to about perimenopause 😂
godless socialist
you're a godless socialist I'm a godess socialist
I should get my dog posting on here.
Hello yes am corgi
oh shit, y'all better act cooler than usual
you're exactly the right amount of cool already ❤️

Torn between badposting for that user who told their therapist about hb and good posting for when your spouse joins
badposting for hazing my spouse! bury him in beanis!
it was tales of the misogyny struggle session plus having a long and through answer to someone's diy question that finally got him to make an account
i've been pretty busy lately, was that a struggle session or just fly paper?
regardless it'll be a delight to have him around, i'm sure
"flypaper" is definitely more apt
That's exciting. We joke about this place being cringe, but honestly it's one of the healthier communities online.
Does your spouse know your account or will you delete this post to hide the evidence?
he knows my account
this question made me realize that we both know each other's accounts and passwords everywhere and that that is perhaps not usual
✨neurodivergence✨
damn im actually excited
you're gonna be besties ❤️
My partner has an account here, but just lurks and has only posted like twice in the last year
Where are y'all finding so many leftist partners? :(
i don't even know where i'd find someone taking covid seriously
idk how helpful it'll be since this information is 20 years out of date, but I found mine at the library
Volunteering
Work 
Getting v v v lucky, unfortunately I have no other advice for ya
realistically, his activity level will probably be much more like your partner's than mine. he's way too obsessed with his tractor groups and nobody here cares about tractors like that because why should they 😂
there are enough people here who like tinkering on things and like vintage machinery, though, that I think he will find some friends. ❤️ plus he's a musician and there are a few of those here, too! 😉 he will want to hear your music and chat about your historical influences and who you're listening to now.
Hell yeah, feel free to bounce 'em my way!
Same! My fiancé has a few posts and that's about it, she tries to cut down on her social media exposure.
Time for the hard hitting question everyone else is too afraid to ask:
Which one of you is gonna be a better Beanis poster
It's gonna beanis me
i dodged out of explaining to my girlfriend what hexbear is for now, but seems like I'll have to reckon with this sooner than I'd hope for
eventually, you will show her a meme that is too piquant for the rest of the internet, and she will want to know more about the people who made it
whispers of the machine is a pretty good game if you're into that sort of thing
