So when you have opinions and you express those opinions. Sounds like you’re pretty self-opinionated about certain topics because you’ve chosen to snarkily quote the dictionary.
This should be horrifying news to anyone who knows about Roblox’s abuses of child developers and appalling content moderation policy. Here’s hoping these are just empty corporate promises and not something more.
The best way to defend your home is to stop the bombs from falling on it. Unless you’re not talking about people’s homes, families, and friends, but rather talking about some arbitrary line in the sand that people should be sent to die for.

Hirohito remained emperor until his death and the imperial reign continues. Many war criminals were put into positions of power after the war. A couple examples include Yasuhiro Nakasone, the prime minister of Japan from 1982-87, who was directly involved in creating the “comfort women” system of sexual slavery during the war, and Nobusuke Kishi, the prime minister of Japan from 1957-1960. Here’s a couple choice paragraphs from his Wikipedia page:
Known for his exploitative rule of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in Northeast China in the 1930s, Kishi was nicknamed the “Monster of the Shōwa era” (昭和の妖怪; Shōwa no yōkai).[1] Kishi later served in the wartime cabinet of Prime Minister Hideki Tōjō as Minister of Commerce and Vice Minister of Munitions,[2] and co-signed the declaration of war against the United States on December 7, 1941.
After World War II, Kishi was imprisoned for three years as a suspected Class A war criminal. However, the U.S. government did not charge, try, or convict him, and eventually released him as they considered Kishi to be the best man to lead a post-war Japan in a pro-American direction. With U.S. support, he went on to consolidate the Japanese conservative camp against perceived threats from the Japan Socialist Party in the 1950s. Kishi was instrumental in the formation of the powerful Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) through a merger of smaller conservative parties in 1955, and thus is credited with being a key player in the initiation of the “1955 System”, the extended period during which the LDP was the overwhelmingly dominant political party in Japan.
Japan continues to be a far-right haven to this day. Shinzo Abe, the recently assassinated former prime minister, was a direct descendant of Kishi and denied many of the crimes against humanity Japan committed during the war. He posed in a plane with the same numbers as the infamous Unit 731, a torture camp located in occupied China that was once under the control of his great-grandfather.
This only begins to scratch the surface of the far-right in Japan directly enabled by the United States. I hope you can see what a foolish statement you have made here.
My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...
Yes, the highways that serve as the beacon of Capitalist freedom are also socialist; they’re funded by taxes.
Socialism is when the government does stuff
Socialism is an aquarium within which the communist fish (communist nations) are dead but the capitalist fish (corporations) are the tiny fish feeding of the remaining government fish (the modern globalized nations of the world, regardless of stability, technology or form of government), which vary in health and size but are generally bigger and healthier than the capitalist fish… Except day by day the government fish get thinner and weaker and certain corporate fish get fat off the blood they leech. The blood is tax-funded resources like health care, and the capitalist fish which aren’t growing fat off the government fish are the charities, unions and the average persons who collect food for and pick parasites off the skin of the government fish.

Real talk I love chatting with the cashier and getting my groceries bagged. I make small talk and ask them how they’re doing. It’s a small opportunity to practice social skills and be friendly. On the other hand automated checkouts replace that familiar face with a sinister machine that makes you do the job of the cashier for zero pay and yells at you when you take too long or do something wrong or put 0.000001 pounds on the checkout scale. Steal from automated checkouts whenever you think you can get away with it.

Considering your takes, I certainly didn’t assume you were smart, although I don’t think intelligence is a qualitative measurement.
In terms of wars, you do realize that wars are started for different reasons, right? The material realities that start wars differ vastly from war to war. Also, if the USA is any example, losing a war does not do anything to stop a country from starting another one.
Hexbear.net was created during the middle of the George Floyd protests after r/chapotraphouse was banned. We have always hated cops and many of us participated in those protests. There are numerous emojis on our site hating cops including
George Floyd was brutally murdered by a pig who upheld white supremacy and all the other cops watched in support. It’s part of an ongoing reality of cops murdering innocent people just because they can. Cops are an inherent part of the white supremacist institution that is the American government. You will not find anyone on Hexbear who thought George Floyd should “stop resisting”.
Honestly fair point. America does have commuter rail. I would certainly say that compared to other countries of equal GDP it is much worse, but there is indeed commuter rail in America.
I don’t think I have any natural talent really. Most of my talents come from dedication and grinding my way to getting good. I do think that I might have had some boosts up from natural ability but in general I believe that genetics plays a very small role in what a person can or cannot do.
