Hello: Finally Made an Account
(hexbear.net)
Apagando las luces
Bro me too!! Lurked in All since the Reddit collapse.
Today I finally made an account to block anime and election posts 🐧
What about Anime Election posts? Vote for Naruto!
sup my fellaaaaa
Wellcum to the club. We got beanis, we got book recommendations, we got seriously funny people, we got revolutionary drive... Fuck what a nice place this is.
Indeed it is, happy to be here, rather than hiding in the bushes with a pair of binoculars.
Welcome! 
A blessing from the legendary DIrt Owl!
I've been watching your career with great interest.
Career? You mean they should have been paying me?!?!? 
Bo Burnham's "Intern" starts playing in the background...
A wise decision. Hexbear with us as we finish setting up your account to start receiving your first Xi Bucks. This might take 2 to 3 business days, as this has to be approved by Xi himself. He's a busy man.
Ya know, I've been wondering about going "fuck it" and escaping to the promised land on an ESL visa. I don't have good family here, but I do have a dog and a classic Miata that I care about.
It's a weird conflict, having a vehicle that is so fun, while wishing death to cars as a means of transport. Just let me have a yearly scenic cruise or a track day, and trains the other 363 days.
Hello. As a former lurker myself, it's nice to meet you.
My day was alright. I don't look forward to the crazy old horse lady I work with gloating about Trump winning on Thursday.
Hay, what can ya do?
Damn, what a day to register!
Welcome.
Makes the anniversary easy to remember
Hello, Sombra!
Been here all along...
I knew it was a reference :catgirl-happy:
Congrats on the account, I lurked for a long time too :ralsei-wave:
Thanks!
I don't know how to use any of the emotes, is there a guide or reference to look at them?
There's an emoji picker when you go to send a message with a built in search function. For example, search "catgirl" for the catgirls. It might take some time to load.
Then there's the shortcodes, which is more just memory. You can use them instead of the picker, but I usually just use the picker unless I'm on Jerboa (android client). Since Jerboa doesn't have the emoji picker, shortcodes are the only option. For example, if I wanted to use the heart catgirl, I would type ":catgirl-heart:" (without the quotation marks).
S'all good
Nice, thanks for sending a welcome!
Hello, Its been good
Nice to hear, have a good night!
Yeh can't complain hbu
It's been an odd week. I'm in my 6th month of a "sabbatical" from work. I couldn't take my old, cushy corporate job, it was killing me inside, so I quit.
I was in a bad car wreck last year, and although I'm physically fine, I still have the car and want to rebuild it. It was special to me.
I started my sabbatical with enough money to live off of for 6 months and enough to rebuild the car. Now I just have enough money to cover rent for a while.
I've been dreading it, but I know it's time to look for jobs again. I hate the idea, since even 'cushy' jobs have genuinely destroyed my sanity before. But, I'm glad I'm finally talking to people here. I've been socially isolated before the pandemic, but I want to connect with people more, and I think that's my key for survival, whatever bullshit I have to do to make rent.
