Maybe yeah. But it was also a longer season with 16 episodes I think. I looked that there were quite a few stand alone episodes or mini arcs.
The Jeff Russo Klingon score is a work of art too
Whoever made this had never met a Sikh. All the ones I know are borderline alcoholics.
Also they can eat non kosher, non halal meat
What's crazy is that most people I talk to about the dire state that Ukraine are in are like, "really, I thought they were winning?"
I'm genuinely amazed at how often I hear it.
I'm convinced that most people do not read the news and basically just decide what's going on by reading a headline and then overlaying some vibes, or more likely just from their Facebook feeds
They are in low earth orbit so they are over Ukraine for a very short period of time and there are hundreds of them. Probably not economical too try and take them down
Still lots of stock to flog
I'm in the odd camp of believing the first season was the best. It was just so different. I didn't dislike the changes and was just happy to have something fresh on screen. I thought the klingons were great too.
My mum used to tell me all these borderline problematic fake confucius sayings when I was growing up.
Things like "Go to bed with an itchy bum, wake up with a smelly finger".
I was being taken round a Confucian temple in Yunnan in March and told some of them to our guide, who thought they were absolutely hilarious. Anyway, stupid anecdote.
It will be me and one other person probably
"russian law". "undermines democracy".
Honest to fucking god we really do love our doublespeak her in the west.
I dunno. History always seems shockingly brazen when you get into the nitty gritty. Especially the end of the Roman republic.
US safety standards? Pretty sure China build their Teslas domestically because the US produced ones don't meet Chinese safety standards
All my apes... Gone!
"Moneo, did I ever tell you about Hexbear..."
"...no lord..."
The weather has been even shitter than usual in the UK this spring. Normally we'd have had a few decent days by now, but it's just been cold, windy and overcast after our unsettlingly mild winter.
Anyway, it's amazing how much a bit of sun picks up my mood. The sun is out today and the world seems slightly less shit. The birds are singing and I'm seeing insects flitting about.
The sun is good for mental health.
Feel free to whip this one out if you get any of that "Winnie the pooh is banned" nonsense from a propagandised westerner. Also remind them that it is racist.
I've got another one somewhere if a giant Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy in a tea house, but I'll be damned if I can find it right now
A friend of mine is compiling a list of Islamophobic dog-whistles that the company she works for needs to keep an eye out for on their socials. I said I would throw the net out and see what I can find out.
A bit of a weird request I know, but I would like to think it will do some good.
When browsing on the web I am routinely subjected to the badly cut out hexbear logo on the community bar.
It is vile, it is offensive, and I have had enough.
I have decided to fix it. Whoever has the power, can they please replace that dirty image with this slightly trimmed version.
Good day.
Edit: it does actually have a few other scaling issues so I might make a newer one at some point
I'm leaning towards yes, because despite their inclusivity and the general feel-good vibes of the stories, the characters themselves flirt with police brutality quite a bit, and who knows exactly what they get up to in their lives outside the novels.
Any more nuanced views from my fellow hexbearians (and lemmings)? I'm slightly less articulate than Detritus on a hot day, and I wonder how much the politics and views of Terry Pratchett comes up in leftist discourse.
Hi all,
I've been learning Mandarin for just over 6 months but I am having trouble with my listening comprehension. Does anyone have any good resources for listening practice? I am looking for HSK 1/2 level stuff. I basically just need to immerse myself in as much content as I possibly can until all this vocab and grammar starts to cement itself in my brain.
I already use Hello Chinese and a few other apps. Ideally I would just be looking for quick fire phrases and conversations that I can listen along to. Youtube has some stuff but the quality is always a bit up and down.
Thanks
Flyberius [comrade/them] @hexbear.net I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Piss ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched Pee-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in rain...
