Admittedly while I dislike all the steal mechanics you described (especially FOMO and having no damage/target dying) I really like the concept of stealing in games

(looking even just briefly at your profile) not you, you're one of the good ones.... we love you.

You're an honorary or a full (certainly in spirit) Hexbearer or Lemmygradian IMO.

Not Chinese (nationality) but there are gay, trans, internationalist people who love geopolitics, maps, etc!!! Dozens of us!!! (Actually far more than dozens, it's more common than you'd think)

Her loss tbh. What's wrong with some girls nowadays (but actually looking at this pic).

Get me a girl or a guy who's all up in that cheapass stealing-from-corpo etc. hustle Doesn't matter if she can afford it, whether she should is the real question

Jimmy's motivations are different probably, the man almost certainly knows he's going to hell if it exists (in the way his beliefs would see it as existing). He's clinging on for dear life lol

Same!

Agreed, though FWIW flourishing is also a matter of preference. Quality vs. quantity and all that. Not sure if I'd say the site has the best mix of it now or not, but it's probably better than anywhere else other than Lemmygrad in my opinion, while also having the added benefit of being more active/shitposty/etc than the grad.

Do we want more engaged and active users if they're coming from- I dunno, lemm.ee, or lemmy.world, for instance? I don't think anyone here would want that, or rather there's a reason we're all on here. It's something to be discussed, definitely, but whatever it is will have to be a balancing act of such conflicting interests, sadly.

Admittedly same, though I don't need to be tired to do it. And sometimes I upvote comments of conflicting opinions (both even) after reading them over too tbh. Not to excuse things like this, but rather it's definitely good we're having this discussion.

Personal opinion, but I think a lot of people (as well as this site in general) need to expand beyond this site- as in, this would go regardless, no one (not even the mods/etc) should have this as their one source of socializing/human interaction (probably).

I don't think I'd say I prioritize growth, but I think it would be nice if this site could be a space from which people could expand outwards and develop their own circles (which if it fit their priorities/preferences, would prioritize growth). Things like the recent webfishing groups, tracha, hexcraft (still need to check it out myself), the movie-watching stuff, etc. all would be such examples. The world is big enough for infinite social circles that harmonize with one another (ideally, realistically this doesn't always happen but it absolutely can and usually does, people just don't look at the successes which are a daily part of life for pretty much almost everyone).

Not entirely sure where I'm going from this, but having a discussion about what Hexbear's priorities are would probably be a good idea. And then also having a discussion about how to create- if not on Hexbear, adjacent to and maybe mutually benefiting from it- other spaces with other priorities would probably also be cool.

This, I must admit I don't organize politically IRL atm but even just when I am social (I go through phases of very social and very much not, probably/historically) this is how it is.

Pretty much, honestly don't get why they included the ring other than for (such creepy vibes as you mentioned) now that you pointed it out. And why on a sign meant to be about not boozing up the minors???

Imagine having all the opportunities that come with being a billionaire and one of, if not formerly the wealthiest person on the planet, and wasting your life on twitter, not even with good takes, just miserable shit. I mean, that shitty mentality is probably at least partially why he's a billionaire (that and the apartheid $$ growing up), but it's pathetic to a point where one would almost feel sorry for him (until they remember he's a total POS).

He could be literally doing anything else and he's malding on the internet. He could be being a halfways decent dad to his daughter or making even just the community around him somewhat more tolerable and thriving. He could be constantly vacationing anywhere, or building up some comfy community of his own, sheltered (through $$$) from the brutal exploitation of the system he and his peers champion. He could be doing any number of enjoyable things but he chooses to slowly kill himself (and it really is what it is, posting on most of the internet nowadays, no doubt even for chuds like him) through exposure to the worst kinds of brainrot.
