Hexbear won. This site is officially over. Everyone who matters is already on hexbear, so the couple hangers on still in this sinking ship need to stop trying to beat a dead horse and join the revolution. Peace.

chapo chat is an embarrassment. Why would I frequent a site full of privileged settler drones, delusional tankies, old-white-man cocksuckers, and leftists that think spamming pictures of shit covered pig genitals is peak comedy?

join the revolution

lol. Your planet is dying and you want me to stan for fools LARPing as saviors of the poor and ignorant? Your politics are boring. You are boring. You hold onto revolution like an incel holds onto his dick, lusting after a ready-made microwaved fantasy that has no basis in reality. Go back to Marvel. Go back to Star Wars. Go back to your burgers and your cars and your workers and your killer civilization that you so desperately want to save. Go back to your comfortable, irrelevant echo chamber, and stroke that tiny ego of yours with cute pictures of Lenin. Jack off to a revolution that will never come. That's all chapo chat is good for.

If you're here to troll, try a bit harder please. but like, actually. This place has gotten a bit boring as of late. LL leaving didn't help either.

LL left as in "i'm leaving and i'm never coming back"?

also, lets hijack this thread and talk about food!

i had a very simple leek/coconut/onion/chickpea dish with rice today. very nice, but a bit boring. i ate it with chili and soy sauce. i need to make tempeh tomorrow, it's 5 days over date. should be fine, no?

It's actually the 2nd time LL ragequit because of a throwaway comment I made. That's why I avoid talking to them.

I'm a newcomer here and been seeing this vague talk of drama since I got here. What actually happened

  1. A, in their words, "overshared" about some interpersonal stuff
  2. B responded in a less than stellar way
  3. LL called out B, defended A, and told B to take a 24h cooling off period then come back and apologize
  4. B took a short break, then came back and apologized publicly
  5. A accepted the apology
  6. S commented on the apology post complaining about LL
  7. B deleted their account and halted donations to the site without (further) explanation
  8. S deleted their account and halted donations to the site
  9. Ziq, without knowing much about what happened, complained that longstanding users quit the site and donations dried up
  10. LL took Ziq's complaint a bit personally (from my POV) and cussed them out, complaining about Ziq's complaints about donations, suggesting they (LL) could/should fully fund the site
  11. LL deleted their account left for a bit, maybe indefinitely
  12. A decided to take a hiatus from the site

Welcome to raddle, usually there are 2 types of drama here

  1. some new fascist troll or earnest tankie joins and for a week or so the regular users argue with them until the new user gets banned or bored
  2. conflict between regular users, sometimes someone gets banned or deletes their account

In this case it was #2. We lost a few active users (whom I generally liked and respected) along including years of their posts and conversations. I don't think it's our business to rehash the details though

I actually have no idea. I was on a plane when it went down. But the site lost its 3 biggest donors by the time the plane landed, going from around 80 EUR a month to 21.

ziq wrote

What money? They pledged a big donation on my patreon out of misplaced spite and then cancelled it before it went through.

If people want to donate to help with the costs, they'll do so. I'm not chasing after people to ask for money like LL said I should do with them, I'd sooner kill the site than have to beg.

I made oyako don today, finally found some mirin and it really makes the dish.

My general rule is that most things are good 2 weeks minimum over the listed date. Except like milk

also, lets hijack this thread and talk about food!

so, I've been dealing with mystery health issues for a year now, and the doc said it's most likely a B12 deficiency (even tho she refused to test me for it to verify). Doc recommended I stop being vegan because "vegans aren't healthy."

and ... I did! I started eating eggs and cheese and processed junk. I gained 15 pounds in two months. I feel worse now. Lethargic. Bloated. Constantly constipated. Worse, I feel like a total hypocrite, a complete poser. What kind of an anarchist sympathizer eats soyrizo with EGGS? I KNOW ABOUT THE CHOPPED OFF BEAKS AND BROKEN PELVIC BONES AND STILL I CONSUME FOOD MADE FROM ANIMAL MISERY. I deserve what's coming to me.

NOISEBOB wrote

do you remember to eat your B12 vitamins? i got 1000mg ones that i rarely remember that i have.. once in a while i eat those and i'm fine.

i ate meat for the first time in 10+ years recently. it was lamb. it probably had a shit life, but don't we all? i'm not returning to meat eating but i just felt like it that day. also had some stockfish.

my partner eats eggs but i just can't.

I never bothered with vitamins, but now I'm wondering if eating ass was enough.

Rather than "getting what's coming", why not just go back to being vegan? It didn't seem to help fix the issue the doc made up anyways, so if able ya could try n see about getting tested again to knowbwhats actually up.

Vulgar_Soda wrote (edited )

why not just go back to being vegan?

It's a ... complicated situation (but not really). Haven't been working since getting sick. Partner pays for everything. and they eat meat. They were so excited when I stopped being vegan, and whenever I bring up going back, they shoot me down. Which sucks because they used to be vegan too. Pretty sure Imma have to dump them and move away in order to regain my lost sense of moral superiority 😔🙏🥦✝️

Truthfully, tho, I've been lazy. I got domesticated. I admit it. I used to dumpster dive and forage. I used to be squat buildings and steal hearts. Now I eat imported specialty cookies and watch my partner play fantasy video games on a huge screen. I was surprised at how easy it was for me to give up on my principles, but then again, everyone around me turned into a cheerleader. Family and friends so loathed me eating vegetables (which is fucking weird). Then a glorious professional expert person with the power of authority said I needed meat vitamins. Suddenly everyone's inviting me over for pizza.

The point is, I'm a sucker. I took the easy route. but that's why I like coming to this little corner of the internet. I read about some person with TWO BOWLS living their best life, and I understand, I have a choice even if the world tells me, "No."

Gardon00765 wrote

ah i hear ya. Life and the folk we love have a way of making us out or different thats for sure. I aint gonna try n play advice boy or anything since I don't know everything but if ya ever wanna chat I'll listen. Can't say I've ever squatted but I can kinda relate to giving up certain things you used to do to be around a person you care for. Sorry if I come off as rude or overly anything btw. I feel like talking with folks isn't exactly something I'm very good at

🤷🏾‍♀️

very nice, but a bit boring.

I rather have boring than whatever new and exciting frankenfood gets shit out by the corporations. I saw neon blue Takis at the petrol station the other day and hurrrrgh 🤢

5 days over date. should be fine, no?

I thought the sell by dates didn't matter? Probs should be fine. I ate a piece of bread with mold on it last week. and I'm still alive 😎 (I cut off the mold, okay, don't look at me that way)

Take a whiff. Your nose knows.

i don't know what a taki is but blue food is just wrong!!

I envy you. It's a processed corn chip snack

I'll report back on the tempeh situation when i've eaten it.

Please do. It'll encourage me to make tempeh again.

I never wanted to go on HexBear, and your post isn't gonna change my mind.

The fact you are trying to "recruit" people onto that site, defining who matters and who doesn't. As well as praising "The Revolution™" just disgust me. It reminds me all those "left unity" Discord servers I was in a while ago. There always was this weird shitty vibe of shitting on each other but pretending to like them nonetheless. This kind of places is the definition of hypocrisy.

Any time someone praise "The Revolution™" or similar concept, I just go away. I believed in those myths before. But it only made me worry and depressed because I was never doing enough or good to the eyes of those "comrades". This obsession with politics was really toxic to me.

We don't want your left unity garbage. Thank you.

Congrats, I hope your parent or guardian is proud. Not every day you win an award like "participation award", it's too bad we didn't join whatever you were participating in.

Everyone who matters is already on hexbear

That's nice your parents/guardians are there for you.

stop trying to beat a dead horse and join the revolution

We already stopped trying to join the revolution, not sure what you're talking about.

Peace

What about Peace? Are you okay, you trailed off?
