Iran military defeated? In the Strait of Hormuz? At this stage of the war? May I see it?

:so-far: $4/gal so far

[Live August 2026 reaction:] I wish I had bought an ebike before the normal summer fuel price increases and this unprecedented supply-side crisis with no clear resolution combined to make unaffordable fuel I can’t find. There was a better stock of cheaper ebikes back then, especially before the same oil availability impacted maritime shipping and the economic crash cost me the job I need to pay for my car I can’t use. Then I would have at least been able to reliably travel 80km on my own schedule no matter how bad it is.

how bad it is so far

Urban ecology is the proof of dialectics.

I love when people plant them in outdoor seating areas and next to luxury apartments. It punishes people for bad horticulture.

Iranian missiles go brrrrrrrrrrrr

What a perfect recipe. I kept thinking of ways I’d insult Israel more than what he was currently doing and it was just the next thing he did, down to throwing the whole dish in the trash.

Horticulture is nice. You get most of the benefits of a trade and honest manual work (outside of union protections in most cases), but it’s also a deeply interdisciplinary science that lets you impact the world in a lot of different ways while forcing you to touch and understand grass. With the same garden I get to do creative, intellectual, manual, and political work with really interesting spatiotemporal angles. There’s public education and anthropology and ecological utility in choosing one plant over another based on analysing the site across all the physical sciences, then lifting heavy rocks to achieve something that benefits my neighbours and wildlife pets. Most of my coworkers are natural scientists of some kind so we spend all day in the sun having interesting conversations about the landscape and urbanism.

If I had my way they’d be doing anything else with their lives and have a free education to achieve it because we aren’t funding the military. Trump had his way and they were blown up to do insider trading and distract from his paedophilia.

RIP In piss

I faced this problem a lot on reddit when my subreddits took off. The closest I got to identifying a cause was with the volume of posts. At a certain point, the daily volume is so high that posts have to compete for attention to get on the front page. The quicker a post can be read, the faster it will be upvoted and the more the algorithm will weight it because it got early interaction. This gives posters an incentive to make memes, images, and jokes instead of an effort post that takes ten minutes to read. New users attracted to the snowballing population see a page full of these posts being upvoted, so their default incentive is to post what already works. Old users are turned off by the stale regurgitation of the worst posts and leave, so you only have new subscribers posting references to things they weren’t there for.

Hexbear has remained pretty consistent even back in the 2016-2020 r/chapotraphouse days because it’s consciously meta-modernist. We’re coming out of irony-poisoned postmodernist forums like reddit and hate how that shaped interactions. The in-jokes have their role but aren’t the feature, with effort posts being something the community rewards. Usually comment threads will have good discussions because they’re niche topics that the users are passionate about, and removing downvoting helps to discourage anything but discussion even when you disagree with someone.

“I’m not political”, but your boss and landlord are very political.

“I’m apolitical” - a political what?

Someone’s already taking care of your spouses back home. Embrace Annata and become pure.

That’s my default for most dishes with the addition of mushroom powder for extra umami. It’s a versatile base to expand on for the specific flavour profile of the dish, and alone it’s enough to improve any generic thing I cook without dominating the flavour.

Hopefully a lot of interceptor ammo was expended trying to stop them.

Meanwhile actual coders managed to make Doom playable in an Excel spreadsheet.

This would explain why nobody has been coming to my discount Jurassic Park.

Pervert Glasses are the most antisocial thing someone can own outside of a cybertruck.
