Unbelievable horny posting 
Absolutely. Deeply unserious people.
Events are static and devoid of context, duh
I think that would have helped me a lot, sounds like a cool experiment for everyone to learn from! Hard, irrefutable data from your own making really helps contextualize systemic issues that can be easy to blow off if you aren't personally a victim.
Can definitely agree with you regarding makeup, my fiancé uses me as a model sometimes and I hate it, lol.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it! 
Would love an effortpost on org theory and why the Dems are immune to entryism, and need to be abandoned entirely.
Thank you for your perspective! Really helps me contextualize a lot of how I feel. I am sorry to hear about your traumatic childhood experiences.
One area where I can relate is that I have relatively recently accepted that I'm pansexual. I've been relentlessly bullied since I was a kid for being "fruity" and always internally justified myself as straight. Not to say that queer people necessarily fit a stereotype, of course, I've just never been traditionally masculine and always had gay tendencies. All that being said, I'm in a het relationship, even though we are both pan we present het, so it can be easy to "mask." I feel like that clouds my own judgement.
I do greatly appreciate your point on how I can be a good ally and comrade IRL in ways that don't "baby" marginalized people. I try to do that when I can, but I think that's an area I can work harder on. I'm relatively timid IRL and that timidness is a privledge I need to overcome.
Thank you!
Pan looks empty because they keep eating them
Hell yea

Also will donate when I can, of course.
congrats!Hexbear frequently has megathreads, this is a general megathread. There's another thread on the US election if you want!
Thanks! I have read Oppose Book Worship before, it has been massively helpful in learning more Marxist Theory and speaking or not speaking on factual aspects of theory and history.
My struggle, if you can call it a struggle, is more about how I interact with marginalized people. I'm learning that I am likely coming off as fake or condescending when I support marginalized comrades and speak on issues I personally cannot directly relate to. That's why I struggle to see if my goal is truly to do good, or if it's to feel good about myself. I don't need to give my opinion on a struggle I don't directly relate to, others can, and I can shut the fuck up and listen more.
I haven't solved that yet. I can't trust my own intentions yet.
I'm not looking for a pat on the back or anything, just wanted to vent a bit. I know this is an incredibly privledged "problem" to have.
Just want to be a better comrade and ally, and that I think means I need to be more comfortable with taking a backseat. Clowning on racists, transphobes, homophobes, etc? Totally fine for me to go off. A marginalized person talking about their struggles? I can offer solidarity but really need to shut the fuck up more or else I come off as fake and condescending, and let other people who can directly sympathize speak up.
Don't regret logging out of Lemmy.ml
Ayy let's go! Keep us posted 
The meal I eat nearly every day is beans and rice, with onions and various seeds for extra nutrients. Dried beans and dried rice are time consuming to cook but much better in flavor and price, and they are fully vegan. Spice them up too if spices fit your budget.
For refried beans, cook beans separately and then fry garlic and chilies in a pan with about 3 tablespoons of your preferred fat like canola oil or coconut oil, this makes the oil flavorful, then add the beans and their liquid, reduce and smash.
Thinking about getting into it, my fiancé is great at music but I suck. I need a creative outlet.
signs point to "yes"
Would be the least surprising news about them.
I personally use a lever espresso machine and a hand grinder, but I also love a V60 pour over or an aeropress on occasion. I like lighter roasts and pulling 3 to 1 water to bean shots, personally!
What do y'all like? !maduro-coffee
Looks cool! Been following this for a while, excited to see it get a full trailer! New Vegas Engine too, so much better roleplaying framework and mods.
I've been reading theory, grinding my ML points, !lenin-shining and now I want to Get Organized and Serve the People. !landlord-sus
I know this is largely a regional choice, but among the major Marxist-Leninist orgs, which are doing the best work, in your opinion? Not asking anyone to dox what org they are in!
I've seen FRSO and !PSL , but wanted to know people's general opinions on them, or other orgs I should check out. I have a firm belief that proper theory and practice leads to better results, so it's important that theory and practice are both good. Additionally, the international struggle must be paramount, since this is !amerikkka
Thanks! !dubois-finger-guns
Witness Cowbee's attempt at building Communism in 2024! !dubois-dance
Peaking my head into the space, Mothership and Shadowdark look awesome. Bonus points for sci-fi, being solo or 2 person compatible, or having elements be more open-source.
Additionally: what's the best post-apocalyptic TTRPG these days?
Alternative title: what are you playing on your standardized linux-based laptop designed for efficiency and battery life over raw graphical power in an age of IP abolishment?
I've been thinking about what gaming would look like in a near-fully Socialized economy, and what modern games would fit the idea best. The biggest kicker here is that I don't believe endless graphical improvements to push and sell more powerful hardware would still be driven as much. Efficiency over raw power. Essentially, the tagline from the perspective of a future Socialist being called a Revisionist online is infecting my thinking.
That brings me to some ideas: Minecraft, Celeste, Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, Crosscode, Caves of Qud, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, Dwarf Fortress, either open-ended or extremely tight and replayable games tend to fit my idea of what gaming would look like. Fallout: New Vegas, Disco Elysium, and other great games would be big too, as well as emulators. In an era with IP abolishment, gaming would look very different IMO. New Vegas, Minecraft, and other highly moddable games would likely thrive.
What are your thoughts? I'm imaging playing these on a standardized Linux-based PC designed to be repairable with commonly produced parts, haha.
Side note: board games count, too! TTRPGs and whatnot that don't require excess waste and are based around standardized systems like dice and playing cards would be cool to hear about as well.
Kind of a ramble, needed to please the brain worms piloting my rotting corpse
My body wants to upgrade my shitposting ability, but technology holds me back 🫠
Using Jerboa, which is great, but emotes are my white whale
Like the title! For someone getting into board games, what would you recommend? Bonus points if it is or can be played cooperatively, with 2 players, and double bonus points if it has a sci-fi theme (like, grand sci-fi), though the previous points are more important.
What do you like to play? Arcs and Earthborne Rangers both look cool to me, but wanted to ask here too! Anyone have experience with those two?
Looks better than expected, if heavily lib-coded and taking place on TERF-Island. Will enjoy bashing fash and gentry alike.
Mod-pilled fan-game enjoyers have something to chew on again!
Edit: Played about an hour, last night. Initial impressions from me are generally positive! There are SPECIAL checks so far, like a 7 strength check to open a jammed door. Melee seems to be favored heavily in the intro as well. There are other checks, like an Int 7 check and a Cha 4 check so far.
For anyone wanting to try Survival, you may want to hold off. Beds are infrequent in the beginning (didn't find a single bed in my playtime), but the devs said they are going to add more based on player feedback.
Visuals are a bit all over the place, textures seem to be varied in quality. A good texture pack mod and lighting mod would go a long way, the actual environmental design is pretty good so far, especially for a mod project.
All in all, solid experience, and I am very excited! Definitely more fallout-y than The Frontier so far, but I do think some people are going to dog on it for not being AAA quality polish, which isn't fair at all to the devs.
Edit 2: Large oof, there's an extremely early quest involving striking workers, but the entire schtick is that both the strike leader and capitalist are scumbags. Seems like you can just kill the Capitalist, but it implies the strike leader is just an opportunist who intentionally lies about what he will pay you. All non-violent solutions lead to a preservation of the status quo, and no added rights for the workers. It's the epitome of moralism and "both-sides-ism," it's the type of quest design that doesn't realize that even if the scumbag strike boss takes power, the conditions for striking remain! There's no agency from the workers.
Edit 3: Been continuing through, Survival is brutal and the game is pretty buggy, but I absolutely love a lot of the environments, they have a ton of attention to detail, moreso than Vanilla Fallout 4 so far. The character writing has ups and downs, but having skill checks and other RP related choices makes it a ton of fun so far, hard to put down (unless I just lost 20 minutes of progress on survival, oof).
Like the title! There's a countdown on the Fallout: London discord server, and this morning the linked video was posted in the annoucnements tab. Looks interesting! As always with mod projects, I go in with negative expectations, and am almost always pleasantly surprised. Hell, I even squeezed fun out of The Frontier back when that came out, some of the side content was interesting.
At minimum, I think it will be fun to explore, and for the low price of free, it's hard to argue against that. Low hopes for a decent story, but the setting itself is novel enough for the Fallout setting to drive the exploration and questing for me. A good story would be a huge bonus, though.
What are your thoughts? Have you been following the development? I myself have a huge obsession with Fallout mods, especially quest and expansion mods, so I've been following this one for years.
Finished Shadow of the Erdtree just in time, on Monday 😎
Like the title! I normally am very critical of Expansions, but sometimes they build upon the base game in very unique ways. I love Dead Money for Fallout: New Vegas, it has the sharpest character writing and turns the game into a Survival Horror experience while remaining authentically "Fallout."
What are y'all's thoughts?
Thought I'd check out PeerTube and see how it's going over there. Thoughts?
Like the title. What games are made better with mods, and foster a great modding scene that retains momentum and delivers excellent content?
My personal favorite is Fallout: New Vegas, but games like DOOM, Half-Life 2 (really all source engine games), and Minecraft have extremely unique mod scenes. Of course, Skyrim remains a modding titan. STALKER: Anomaly is already an amazing mod project and has mod lists for it like GAMMA.
What are your favorites?
Ideally one that is forward-thinking, gaming-friendly, and efficient.
This was back when I tried to get PugJesus to try to understand how deeply unserious they were, and generally tried to appear less threatening to liberals to hopefully lead some to question liberalism or even read theory
(Spoiler: it didn't work)
Specifically, it was in reference to Lemmy.world becoming more and more right-wing as the target boogeyman shifts from more overt to less overt leftism, especially since ml removed leftist from its description.
Kinda funny seeing it up there now that I've made a Hexbear account
Looks like Pizza Tower is on a discount, definitely scooping that up.
How are Lunacid and Dread Delusion? The vibes look amazing but I haven't seen much buzz.
Been posting here and there from my .ml account, and figured that the communities I tended to enjoy interacting with the most were Hexbear communities, so now I'm here too, for when I just want to chill and don't want to smash my head into a wall talking to libs.
Howdy!
