Being a non-profit is only “unprofitable” in so much as it won’t enrich anyone. But they do usually operate in the black. The original owner(s) just aren’t interested in selling out/cashing in, so they have reworked the company so that all profits are reinvested into the mission.
THIS is what I mean when I say hexbear/chapo has the best takes on social issues
It’s deeply ironic that employed and housed people are allowed to drink themselves silly during their time off, with many saying they are doing so because of having a “rough week”, but people with much worse conditions are expected to be completely sober
As a trans woman I can tell you from first hand experience that that is testosterone’s doing. If you also have hormonal acne (or have had it) then that is a sign of excessively high t levels and a doctor could prescribe a low dose of spironolactone to help clear that up, do with that what you will
They kept them all side by side like that, all landscape?
I did, personally. The only reason I don’t have a hexbear account is because I wanted access to a few defederated communities. Prior to that I had a blahaj.zone (am trans) account, but they disabled downvoting everywhere. Seeing that others didn’t defederate from db0 is why I chose them. And because of the obvious correlation between piracy and anti-capitalism, which sadly hasn’t held up.
At this point, I don’t know where I am supposed to make my account to avoid these issues. Hexbear produces some of the best content, but so do major defederated instances. Granted, I was disgusted a few times with what people say outside of communities like this one, such as the museum in Australia banning men from an exhibit. Damn near any feminist should be intrigued and hear out their reasoning, and then supportive of the point of the art being the exclusion of men due to historic and still pervasive exclusion of women. But instead, it was MRAs dominating the discussion with “but if the genders were reversed!” garbage and “this is gender discrimination or the highest degree!” myopic garbage.
Lemmy needs a way to transfer accounts, yesterday. This is already my third account, after lemmy.world and blahaj.zone.
I know the main suggestion on HexBear will be to make an account here. But are there any alternatives with good admins and minimal defederation?
You didn’t talk about anything you don’t know, and you mentioned you like the soundtrack. Seems like a good contribution to me!
I shouldn’t be commenting here, but I will.
Hm? Can you explain? Or is it just because you haven’t played it yet?
No, that is normal. Hemispacial neglect patients have great difficulty with considering both the left and right half of an object, so they will often draw clocks wonky trying to fit all or most the numbers on the right side of the clock. Coordinating where you place the numbers (as you described it) is the normal behavior. You do not have hemispacial neglect and confusing two numbers isn’t an indication of it.
Other examples include transcribing only the right half of sentences when asked to transcribe text, and drawing objects other than clocks failing to consider details on the left side, like a house but with an open/incomplete side on the left, or a flower with only petals to the right side.
People just tend to remember the clock thing because it’s interesting, but they misattribute it as a more general sign of brain damage and not a very specific sign of very specific brain damage
I was making fun of them for bringing up something totally random (hemispacial neglect) for someone who simply mixed up two similar numbers. You don’t show any signs of brain damage, at least not here.
Confusing 2022 for 2020? Probably hemispacial neglect 👍
Maybe this is the goal, but seeing your username + pfp is genuinely a jump scare to me

Broadcast degrade, which wouldn’t mean much for already existing conqueror civilizations looking for anyone to invade, but does mean the signal isn’t entirely endless and we don’t broadcast with the strength to reach very far (what with our only needing to send them around our planet). Our historic signals may very well never make it to civilizations advanced enough to hear them just due to distance and the fact that space isn’t a perfect vacuum; signals degrade linearly as they are overwhelmed by the comparatively much more powerful background radiation. Digitally encoded signals like the ones we send now would be even harder to detect as the information would seem random.
Additionally, if we were to stop broadcasting then our broadcast would be effectively an expanding bubble with a ~130 light-year thick surface, so while it may reach a civilization and continue to reach them for 130 years, there is a chance it would reach them prior to technological advancement and it would pass by without detection. Of course in this case we assume that a new civilization would be hostile.
The party example doesn’t really work here because there is no start time to be on time or fashionably late/early to.
Fun conversation, this is the stuff I used to love reddit for 😊
I was going to tell you that most Neanderthal remains are found with signs of injury which would be evidence against that, but it looks like that is just a myth. That said, it seems the frequency of injuries among Neanderthal and their contemporaneous Homo Sapiens peers was about even, which does work as evidence against the idea they were super peaceful unless they were significantly more clumsy hunters.

It’s really annoying
Idk, this seems anthropocentric. Why would we be the first? I understand that there is some degree of truth to the universe being young, but that seems as likely as us being the only advanced life, which assumes that we are some special exception.
It seems more likely that other technologically advanced life may have gone intentionally dark (minimizing signals that may leave the solar system) for safety. It’s possible humans will do this some day, maybe after we detect alien life and determine it is dangerous. Or, they prioritized harmony and stewardship of their planet and stopped broadcasting (or never did) because that is incompatible with their life style.
Here’s a good example. An account I have blocked replied to me. If they go into a sub I moderate and start acting like a jackass, I’ll never know because I have them blocked.
The only way I’d see it, is if someone reported it.
This is why, when I was a reddit moderator (r/Firefox), I never blocked users even if they were absolute trash to me. I always thought of that as a severe limitation of the platform, there should be a setting to show blocked user’s content (labelled as such) in communities you moderate.
Take an empty list and add an object to it. Get a list with an object in it.
Take an object and add an empty list to it, that doesn’t do anything, get a zero for false?
