Aaaaaaaaaa hi everyone I wasn’t expecting so many new friends so fast and I should sleep 
I don’t know what I’m doing
Most of us are queer and neurodivergent. You’re in good company because there is no “normal” here, and it’s proudly on full display.
I don’t know what I’m doing
don’t worry, neither do most of us
One of the more significant revelations of adulthood is gradually realizing nobody tells you how everything works, you just have to find out one way or another
What a fuckin scam
well that’s because most people are short-sighted and can’t afford to speak the truth and go into philosophy.
I thought this was a bit post but then I saw the @ and now I can’t tell if it’s a
moment
how do I be normal??
That’s the neat part. You don’t. Welcome to Hexbear, where everybody is some fusion of neurodivergent gay trans communists. It rules.
But you should go to sleep.
how do I be normal?
Don’t.
(I don’t think there’s any point in attempting to be normal. Don’t know about you, but personally I always fail at it anyway, even if I try. So why bother? That energy can be used for more interesting things.)
give’em a couple of days before they realize there ain’t anyone normal in this place
I legit didn’t know x87 was a real thing until you made that ama post a few days ago lol
Happy to have increased your computer history knowledge!
If you mostly touch modern computers, it’s not surprising that you didn’t know, because Intel’s x87 floating-point co-processor is mostly a thing of the past. Since the i486, the floating-point has been integrated into the CPU rather than being a separate chip. You can still issue x87 floating-point instructions to the i486, or even to a modern Intel CPU, though! Nowadays, if you want floating-point stuff, you (or the compiler that compiles your program) will probably use SSE instructions instead. But I heard that some applications where the precision is very important still use x87 because it internally represents the numbers as 80 bit instead of 64 bit.I forget; was it the 80387 or the 80487 that was just a full-blown DX (as in, FPU included on the die) version of its 80_86SX counterpart with only subtle differences in the pinout so it could disable the onboard main/SX processor socket?
Edit: Found it! It was the i487 SX:

Step 1: Go to sleep. Sleep is very important.
Step 2: Reply/Read when you wake up. We’re not going anywhere :3
Step 3: Make even more friends
Repeat and adjust steps as needed. And don’t be normal, forgot to add that.
I spent most of my youth trying to assimilate in one way or another. I am now middle-aged and entirely convinced that everything in my life would be better if I’d gone all-in on weirdness and rebellion from the get-go. Don’t trust the assimilated, they will betray you

Welcome. Just remember, “normal” is a setting on the dryer. Just do you, that’s good enough
im way too autistic to try and be normal and i fit in pr well here so you’re probably good
I almost never know what I’m doing but have grown accustomed to pretending
Simply keep posting
When in doubt, just post
psst over hereHalf the users here were born c.1990, and only a few of the Big Posters here were born post-2000 (including me)
There’s gonna be a rift soon, a lotta the posters radicalized by Iraq/the recession/Occupy Wall Street are gonna be busy raising kids and etc, they’re gonna have to pass down their shitposting responsibilities to the (relatively few) zoomers here
You’re in between, you’ve gotta facilitate the transition between the old order (the ex-somethingawfullers inspired by dril and his offshoots) and the new one (an imminent yet currently disorganized coalition of indie game fanartists, raver puppygirls, ppl with crushes on fictional robots, etc) that hasn’t even joined yet. Not drafting you into anything but we’d appreciate the help

Leftist ZoomersWhat
This is MY alley to lurk in ya geezer smh
Check out the megathreads pinned at the top of the feed. They’re themed chats and tend to be a more chill, cozy posting environment
helloYou haven’t even met a 10th of us lol. Mostly just be silly, we love that shit
I can do silly! My main YouTube channel is centered around silly.
(I’m hoping that plugging it here is socially acceptable, I have no idea, but I figure it’s relevant?) My channel trailer
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
